And I'll be there, playing the same old Handlock... winning constantly my way up to Legend. Isn't amazing to not have to worry what new expansions will make to your deck...

Used to be a proud Handlock player.
Legend 17 times.
Still flirting with the ladder from times to times with Renolock.
Varian Wrynn will help CW stomp the meta.. or at least make it even more fun.
I've already planned ahead for Varian. Basically, let him summon all his legendaries. THEN DOUBLE ELEMENTAL DESTRUCTION GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. It will be turn 10 by then so you can expect to have it.

Patron isn't getting nerfed yet so it'll continue to destroy Shaman and Paladin for the next month despite TGT.
Elemental destruction kills all patrons? Once they combo, they generally can't again for a while. Also, when they combo, they wipe your board so you can just elemental destruction.
Correct me if i am wrong. But usually you not even have your turn for Elemental destruction, unless you plan to fill your board with nothing.
I don't understand what your saying

I'm an underdog praiser. I always play and like to use the uncommon or unused stuff that is in games. So of course, my 2 fav classes are shaman and rogue. I don't care if shaman becomes one of the best classes or not with TGT. I just hope that they got enough to be considered viable. I want to reach legend one day (played since beta) :(
If Patron Warrior remains ever as dominant, or even more, after the release of TGT I suspect the card text on Warsong Commander to change to something along the lines of "Minions you control with 3 Attack or less, have charge."
Great wording change, very succinct. This is exactly what needs to happen.
I was in the super optimistic camp about Shaman for a few days, but now I still think it will be mediocre after the expansion.
Totem Golem is the only new card that will really strengthen current Shaman decks. I think new Shaman decks (Totem/Inspire, Control) will be ok, but not Tournament-grade.
If you get an early mistcaller out then you have a very good chance. The difference is all the other class legends have very good late game where as the mistcaller would just be a dead draw, but in say a totem deck and early miscaller could be too much for even ctrl warrior to handle.

Well, from GVG, BRM, and now TGT, we can see that blizz is keep adding completely overpowered cards to shaman, but what happened? Shaman is still being treated as "new class PogChamp". Indeed, shaman may have most of the best cards in the game because of the overload mechanic. Unfortunately however, most of the time overload would put shaman in a really awkward situation, in which he needs to decide whether to play cards with overload this turn to gain tempo but cannot play key card next turn, or wait for one turn to play the key card but facing the risk of completely losing tempo against aggro decks. I just played against a shaman who runs 2x Earth Elemental + Lava Shock and I still beat him with mech mage. Shaman is really hard to survive in the meta which is filled by aggro decks and he might also struggle against the slow decks like control warrior, at the same time shaman will just get wrecked by his own overloads. In a word, if the meta turns slower after TGT, we would see more shaman, but he would definitely not become a "god tier" class.

If you can drop is turn 5 or 6 with an aggro style deck then its amazing. Otherwise yea garbage

You have a board with lets say 3-4 minions. You die to like 40 damage to the face from charged minions. You are somehwere below 0 Life, you are dead. You cannot cast your spell. If your board would have been empty, you might be alive.
If you have that many minions you probably only need 20 damage to kill him without emperor. You can cast your combo earlier. Frothing combo needs a lot of cards and emperor. I won't deny that the matchup is fairly even though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Varian kinda shit in the same deck as alex?
its true. it would be a gamble to have both, but so tempting lol. at least you'd get an 8/8 for practically nothing.
And then the lightbomb comes :p
Nah, I'm pretty stoked for Varian as well, I just think he might work better in a different kind of warrior that doesn't rely on alex burst as much.

"if you get an early mistcaller"
as if turn 6 is "early"

Early for the card obviously...
Just like Patron right? i believe hearing that exact sentence somewhere
