just wait for them to release Explosive Evolution and everyone will complain about Shamanstone and eventually get a nerf
tbh Embiggen Druid eats any Shaman deck for lunch, and you can even add Gloop Sprayer for more greedyness and so forth, Explosive Evolution won't help matters in the slightest.

We'll see that as soon as all the new cards are available and Zentimo still exists, it's a good combination with the new evolution.
Been playing Embiggen Druid for a bit now, and it's fairly strong. Haven't added the new Galakrond's Awakening cards to the deck. Biggest issue is when you burn through half your deck without finding a single Embiggen. Without that card, the deck is ok, but not especially powerful in the current meta. Even with Embiggen, it's still very susceptible to a strong control deck. I absolutely smashed an Embiggen Druid just a little while ago with my Quest Priest. They rely so much on huge minions sticking on the board that when you have enough removal they really have nothing left. That, and if you can rush them down fast enough, like Face Hunter, you can still easily pull out a win. It's a strong archetype, and interesting to play, but I definitely wouldn't call it top of the Meta.
I play my version of Embiggen Druid and I am presently at rank 4. It is a deck as strong as Token druid and Highlander secret Hunter. The biggest issues I have with it are that if you don't draw Embiggen and ramp up cards early enough it's gonna be tough. So, yes, Druid is strong but it's nothing compared to the 60% winrate Galakrond shaman decks had before nerfs.
the new evo card will not see play. It is almost always going to be worse than the 0 mana evo card. Trumps review of this card puts it succinctly https://youtu.be/BnrW-TtE46Q?t=572
So while Spells fail, the only minion to legitimately deal with a Winged Guardian (and any busted Minion for that matter) is actually Tinkmaster Overspark which is actually a legit Tech choice in the current Meta. :)
To sum it up, Winged Guardian can now be considered the second toughest to trade Minion in ALL of Hearthstone, only behind a Colossus of the Moon.
Agreed. I’ve been playing mostly Embiggen this month, and almost all my losses are Rez Priest and Face Hunter. Priest outlasts me, and Face Hunter usually can sneak in enough damage over the top of my mid-game board dominance to finish me off.

Seriously ? You think I'm trolling ? You must be rank 15 to 25 OR just a terrible pilot OR you never played it yourself and just making assumptions. Highlander Control Shaman has plenty of answers aside from Plague of Murlocs.
You underestimate Earthquake and Scheme. It clears boards, common mistake is getting too conservative with it there are plenty of discovers and value generation in the deck. You pair that with Electra Stormsurge and you are golden. Those reborn shenanigans and Ysera flood are shit compared to that.
Hex + Zentimo is a classic. Even Hex alone can mess up their res pool already. Witching Hour.
I tech black knight because it curves well against shield of galakrond and non galakrond decks usually have a good taunts. Res Priest, Big Druid,
Vulpera Scoundrel and Haunting Visions are basically free board clear.
Don't get me started on Hagathas. You have access to the two new Spells now.
Not to mention, you have zephrys and alex. Alex combos well with hagatha.
Big druid will have a slow turn after a board clear, Witches Brew and Walking Fountain saved me more than once.
I also have the 0 mana heal and taunt(Hunterace style) which wprks well with walking founrtain , black knight and archivist and keeps your hand small to give way to Hagatha reloads.
HS Replay is not representative of the ENTIRE hearthstone players you know. You are playing the net deck game. Start thinking for yourself.
Just because a deck is not popular doesn't mean it's not good.
Case in point: Practically nobody was playing Galakrond Warrior pre 1st DoD nerf. Although I saw a few people hinting/spoiling that spirit of the rhino being a secret sauce.
Nobody was playing Highlander Priest, which few people brought to legend.
My prediction is all Shaman cards from Galakronds Awakening will be Meta-defining and people will turn to Control variants and away from Quest and Galakrond variants .

Emiggen druid guys looks so strong!! :D. i will craft it!!, how about you?? :)
Ive made wild variation of that druid, quite fun to play, but definitely sticking with handlock cause its still too powerful.
That new taunt card made embiggen druid strong.
Could you share the deck list?. Thanks.
ugh I rather have Roguestone.
Stats based decks are so braindead and boring.
What is the best counter to new druid decks?

I have 100% winrate for now (6 games) with murlock shaman and some dragons in the mix vs this new druid decks.
The problem is almost impossible to win vs any Galakrond deck... :(
lol. everyone shitting on Shaman doesn't know Highlander Control Shaman(non Galakrond) exists.
I'm bulldozing Druids with it so far, ton of removals (plague of murlocs, earthquake, hex, scheme). Unlimited spells(Hagatha) and tons of discover.
Quest Ressurect Priest and Embiggen Druid's would be better off conceding right away.

Nice Troll, out of all the cards you've mentioned only Plague of Murlocs deals with a board of Winged Guardian. Even then you need to get lucky to draw or else he'd just trade in and play Archmage Vargoth into Witching Hour, and then close out the game with Ysera, Unleashed into Floop.

Guess I won’t play hearthstone for a while that Druid deck is stupid broken.
This guy always does that...and he never craft anyshit.
