So, I just crafted Leeroy the other day with the intent of adding the combo of Leeroy Jenkins and Unleash the Hounds. That was kinda fun but after looking at some of the top ranking decks, I think Leeroy might work better in a shaman deck. Here is a deck I put together based on cards I have, please let me know if I can make any improvements. (note: I don't have Bloodmage Thalnos yet so that isn't an option.)
I Have an Argent Commander, what should i drop to add it? If I get enough dust to add another Legendary, i'll have to choose between Bloodmage Thalnos, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Ysera just based on their usefulness in other decks. I could craft another mana tide totem but not sure I want to waste the dust. I also have Doomhammer but not sure its worth adding.
I found it so much fun to play this deck, just had a game where i had a flametongue totem + a gadgetstan auctioneer up vs a druid. He only had one taunt up with 3 hp and a filled board with other creatures. So i play Leeroy, buff him with rockbiter weapon and together with the added damage from flametonge he hits the guy for 22 damage + 6 damage from the auctioneer plus a lightning bolt to finish him off.
get your Ws in because this is gonna get nerfed asap
Why? it's not OP, it's just a clever combo. You can't OTK with it, not without already having a lot of other things set up first. I played the deck I posted first with minor tweaks and went 8-3 last night in ranked play (went from rank 17 to rank 14 in the process) .
The deck did really well against hunter, warlock, priest, and druid but had trouble with paladin and rogue.

OK, yes, you can deal 32 damage with one card but all the other player needs to have is one card with taunt and that ruins the whole thing. You can do similar things with other decks like using Warrior and Commanding Shout with Frothing Berserkerwhilrwind and Warsong Commander and there are a lot of minions on the board. I saw this posted in the top 5 plays of the week, post warrior OTK patch nerf. Combos like these are awesome and well played, not OP.
yeah one of the first decks i made maybe 2-3 months ago was this ninja fury deck. i used stealth units and windfury rockbiter like i never came across (back then atleast) people using that combo really. i once got my gadgetzen to 15 attack with windfury. :) lol. its cool to see how the combo's changed and been fine tuned. chakki's shammy deck is so good. like real next level.
you may use a different variation, but there are pro decks like the one mentioned before that can do 18-24 dmg in one round. that will catch blizzards eye and it will get nerfed.
lol ive been playing a few months ive played against a few pro players in 2p dailies and what not. 18-24 damage that can be stopped with taunts. this windfury rockbiter combo has been around for awhile regardless.
i made chakki's deck with mana tide instead of nat pagle and sylv in place of an azure drake.
taunt or not its the principle yo. you act like its hard to get around taunts lol
It's not hard to get around taunts, but it costs mana or minions to do so and there is not a OTK or OP type situation, its just called being a good player and knowing when to use your cards at the right time. I don't think there will be further nerfs, especially now that the game is in open beta. So just like any other deck you face, you have to use strategy to counter what you expect they might do.
I use Ragnaros the Firelord in mine and it works great. I don't have nat pagle or tinkmaster yet but even if i did, not sure i would use them over Rag, he is awesome. I also like using him then next turn dropping a Faceless Manipulator the next turn and winning pretty quick or having them concede.

Been working on mine for a bout a week.
A lot more cantrip for combo digging, a lot more defensive mid game.

feral spirit is so imba imo..
Might need more taunt against those Hunter rush decks...

It is actually possible at 10 mana, but highly unlikely. 2x Abusive Sergeant 2x Rockbiter Weapon 1x Windfury and ofcourse 1x Leeroy Jenkins. (6 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3) x 2 = 32

ive been actually thinking of using him in my shaman deck since my shaman deck is missing a finisher.... i dont have al'akir

is it alright to switch out nat pagle and tinkmaster with cards like ysera or ragnaros?
