I really do not, but I watched Chump make a pretty fun deck Link( https://youtu.be/3g2NAOE7NBM ) but in all honesty, losing call to arms really makes the overall deck poor and Genn just isn't useful. I tried to make a viable deck but found little success in the meta
>>The article also talks about spell hunter being really good, as well as token druid. I think these nerfs are excellent; I can't recall a set of nerfs reforming the meta so much before without destroying the previously oppressive decks. Many new decks have been able to come out to climb now. I hope that it's not the nerf hype and will disappear when the meta settles, but that it stay this way for a while.
I agree, I love the nerfs. I think it removes the barriers for players with having to only play one of three decks in order to succeed. Paladin having a 55% WR as a class was insane. I can safely jump into ranked and have a legitimate chance to win the game and affect more of the game state. I don't think Blizzard went too far with the updates, but I think it was just right to really make an impact on the meta
I didn't get any notification regarding your post. Anyway imho the priest decks are fine. They don't have any broken interactions in any way, but they still have lots of strengths, which deserve to be admired. I don't think that a dedicated burn/TTK combo is necessary as you suggest. I personally believe that a player, who knows how to pilot their deck, would play optimally against almost any opponent and get some positive results. Here are some examples of well built lists:
After being quite successful with Spell Hunter, I gave Even Warlock a try and it lead me nowhere.
Simply can't get above 50% win percentage, the deck is annihilated by Rogue, destroyed by Paladin and stomped upon by Priest.
Exactly. This is also true for even Shaman. Both these decks are not that good imo. They are just being used for the flavor of it. Drawing way better then your opponent will obviously lead to victory, but when both players are equally lucky (or how you say?), I don't see how these decks compete with other top tier metadecks.
Anyone have any success with murloc/elemental mage at rank 5 and up? Been looking into it, but i'd need to craft Arugal and a couple more cards (so about 3000 dust) and didn't wanna drop dust on a deck that's just subpar

Thing is they beat Odd Paladin and Spiteful Druid/Token Druid decks which is a huge part of the meta right now. Turns out a turn 3 Mountain Giant from Even Lock is pretty good. Even Shaman relies on cards like Corpsetaker, Sea Giant, Earthen Might etc to land otherwise nothing special. Haven't lost to an Even Shaman yet with Shudderwock Elemental Control Shaman. Vsed an Even Lock with Rin in the deck as well and I kept putting a lot of pressure on the board he eventually was able to Azari but then I just did Shudderwock froze his board (triggers from Glacial Shard) and got a board of Shudderwocks luckily for me it was enough to make him concede I basically had nothing else.
Shudderwock means driving a clown car in circles around your opponent while he swings his sword at you. Half the time he chops you and your car to pieces. The other half you park on his legs and 40 clowns come out one by one, trampling him to death.

I would not craft Arugal, Murloc Mage may have some slight success now but you are much safer playing a Murloc Paladin deck, especially if you are tight on dust. Its early, and I wouldnt advise anyone to dust the card, but I would not craft it
I honestly have no idea how to navigate the tag functions, maybe this will fix it. I have seen those decks and I think those are viable to climb. Zetalot is a very skilled Priest player and I actually took the Velen Combo from his Kobalds build. I enjoy the deck slots and had success with it, but I dont see it being necessary at all. Maybe I will play some Priest decks to hit legend, I do not have Quest but it looks like a really fun deck and am tempted to make it. But I do like the looks of Zetalots most recent build and will give that a try

I think that deck is really fun to play! Hopefully more combo decks will arise

This can function pretty well in this meta as well, but I would cut the Skulking Geist for Archbishop Benedictus.
I kinda think this is a bit greedy, but Awaken the Makers offers priest a nice heal, while Archbishop Benedictus allows them to win the fatigue war.
What's all the fuss about Even Warlock?

lol murloc paly is part of the meta

Spiteful Druid is almost gone from Legend-5 rank range of Standard since the patch.
Druids are mostly Token and Hadronox now.
