Climbed from rank 5 to 4 with even shaman. It has room to breathe now. A few more turns to pressure before voidlords are cheated out, and no longer neeeding to contend with three minions flodding the board immediately turn 4 while I have to actually draw and play my minions one at a time. Not tier 1, but I'm glad even shaman is somewhat viable on ladder now.
I really happy, after a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time I finally can play with my beloved deck again, CW. :)
I dont see any change. Good matchup is still goof matchup, bad matchup is still bad. The only thing good for CW is spiteful priest is even less popular now, which is good for this deck
Wild Cubelock is pretty much unchanged. Dropped Possessed Lackeys for Voidcallers, pounded fools into oblivion as usual. Haven't touched standard because wild control Warlock was always more fun anyway.
I've been doing alright with fatigue warlock at ranks 3-4. I'm missing Skull of the Man'ari, but it does alright. Cut Possessed Lackey's and Dark Pact's, and added some Voidwalker's, seeing as I'm not running lackeys. It works alright, but no way for me to know how well it works for sure until I craft the skull.
Let's see my experiences since the nerf haven't been all that interesting. I had a salad for lunch (well truth be told it was more a pile of ham, eggs, cheese and crutons with a few pieces of lettuce on the bottom covered in ranch). I also took a nap when I got home and made some lasagna for dinner. Currently I'm watching The Flash finale. Gonna watch the basketball game when this is over and after that I may play some Hearthstone.
6-0 with Elemental Shaman. If memory serves me... opponents were Control Priest, Murloc Paladin, Even Shaman, Hunter, Recruit Warrior, Spiteful Druid, Could just be a fluke or people expecting Even of Shudderwock but I'm having fun.
I put this in the standard forum thread but saw this thread so I'll post it here too.
I'm playing Murloc pally at around rank 4.. CTA pre-nerf I was able to make a lot of Juggler + CTA plays turn 6, and have had several opportunities to today, but obviously can't with the nerfs.. Then by turn 7 my opponent picks up more tempo which makes it feel a lot more awkward to play, forcing me to play Vinecleaver instead, and then CTA timing by that point is basically out the window altogether which is gamebreaking.
Played like 10 ranked games so far and I can definitely feel the nerf in like 3-4 of the 10 games. 2 of my losses being games I feel like I would have won pre-nerf. Definitely feels not as strong, CTA feels a lot more awkward to play a full turn later, and its way harder to combine with juggler + CTA now. Murloc pally feels less than impressive now and semi-underwhelming.
As for cube lock, I played against 2 earlier that were rank 4, ended up losing both (First game mostly due to the fact this guy drew both hellfires and both defiles in the first half of his deck (had played all 4 of them all by turn 8 or so). Not much I can do versus that luck but tip my hat to the guy and concede. Other game I forget but I just got rekt (maybe I just had a bad curve).
Cube still felt really strong to play against.. It'll still be fotm, maybe nerfed slightly in the grand scheme of things; but buffed indirectly because of paladin decks and spiteful getting nerfed. Personally I think due to that it could use another small nerf, but we'll see how it goes.
Tearing it up with miracle right now. Even have two Wanted! in my deck. Just shat all over a control warlock running lackey and dark pact. I can out tempo any pally on ladder. Odd rogue was tough but winning by the skin of my teeth on some lucky Fal'dorei spiders. It actually got me thinking. Isn't Quest rogue just a worst Fal'dorei now? Sure you get more control over your 4/4s but good luck otking anyone with 4/4s as a quest rogue. Mages are probably the only thing you don't want to see as a miracle rogue these days.
Been playing Control Shudderwock Shaman in Legend still the same kinda shit though tbh. Lot of Even Shaman, Murloc Paladin, Control Priest, Spiteful Druid (whoa shock and awe nerf didn't do anything to it :P), also some Secret Aggro Paladin floating around too. Strangely not that many Warlocks o_O.
wow, spiteful on 7 instead of 6, amazing!

I wonder how many days until the useless call for nerfs starts again.
If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
Playing evenlock
its good
