Question for Even Shaman players - do you feel compelled to put at least one ooze in your decks?
I am currently at rank 3. Constantly frustrated by certain opponents. Wondering if I really need an ooze in there anymore. It's helpful vs. certain classes but overall I question is utility.
Then I remove it, play a mage who uses Aluneth, and I want to punch my screen.
easy way - play some games with ooze, then mark the games where you had to use him. After X games sum up how many times you needed ooze. If the score is positive then leave it(mandatory pick) - otherwise swap it(you dont have to pick it). I have Ooze always in my deck. Anyways.. what would you want to have in exchange of ooze?
Thinking of a mossy horror instead. Druids are driving me nuts. I feel ooze is only really getting me anywhere vs. a Hunter once in a while or maybe a Rogue if I get lucky. Otherwise you draw it early vs. other classes and I feel it's wasteful. Better two drops for Even Shaman - juggler; wolves; nimbus; etc. Thanks everyone.
@Jonesy978 depends on the version but Mossy I agree that is pretty nice against Druid as you said and also Odd Rogue in case of Giggling Inventor(I am using only one copy of Mossy). I am not running jugglers and I am happy with it :D, included one more 1/3 charge+lifesteal because many times I have lacked of healing from Corpsetaker. Some Even's run more overload cards - one 2/3 weapon, 0 mana AOE 1 damage to board and that 4 mana minion epic that summons 1/1 tokens each time you overload yourself - one version uses - 2 copies another - 1. You need to test what do you like the most - you have a lot of possibilities and thats great about even shaman :)
You can also check some variations to see what people use most on: 1) hsreplay site 2) hearthstonetopdecks site 3) HS Pro Deck Feed on twitter

What do others think - mandatory inclusion?
tech inclusion, obviously, rather than mandatory
x1 is fine, 3/2 for 2 is not terrible.
If you face above 50% classes with weapon then you could put him... If there is below 50% then its not worth it IMO

I play Even Shaman quite a bit and I've seldom wished I had an Ooze. Mossy on the other hand is fantastic.
