I am kicking asses with my priest, seems nobody noticed one of the most OP card of expansion Grave Rune
Sounds interesting, what is your combo /win con? I tried the card a bit and I didn't find it that helpful, especially against shaman who just always seems to have a way to answer almost any board.
To contribute to this thread: shaman is pretty op alright, maybe not unbeatable but certainly very strong. "just saving aoe for galakrond" certainly is not enough to beat them unless they are so sad to see there 8/8s die they just concede. That doesn't seem to be the case very often though.
half deck i heal, half i smash. I play the quest without caring too much, just a plus in the late game and actually stop people going face the first 3 turns. Than heal (neferset, zillax, and the 5/5 that heal 5) to survive until turn 9. Then play around zerek cloning and resurect. I have a colossus of moon too. Nobody try to kill the 1/1 from zerek cloning. I play grave rune on it and next turn have 3 of them and 2 with active reborn. i see people play zephyr and concede ahahah.
If you feel fucked you can play grave rune also on neferset ritualist. same... gotta heal something like 18 stopping 7 attacks.
other option cathrina, play grave rune on her also is auto concede. (she ressurect neferset very often)
than you have all the priest Aoe and of course the mass silence ...
well quite complicate deck but lot of fun. actually at 6 on the ladder. but winrate is good. The key is healing.
Interesting, especially including colossus, didn't cross my mind to include him. Unfortunately I don't have cathrina and don't really feel like playing/crafting her (big priest has scarred me for life), but she seems important for the deck. Maybe I'll just try it without her at first to see if I like the deck. Anyway thanks for the response and the ideas, now back to hating on shamans...
You clearly haven't seen what galakrond shaman is, assuming you have 4 full aoe clears in your deck plus zephir, first time you have to deal with 4 5/6 taunt, then you have to deal with 4 8/8 RUSH then you have to deal with 2 others with shudderwock, then guess what shudderwock is back in hand for another round Im sorry, but if you consistently have to draw your 4 full clears by turn 11 thats not something fair,
Yeah and even my main deck now is Galakrond Shaman. I loose very often in wild. From rogues, paladins, secret mages e.t.c. It is not that op really. 80% of the time my 4 8/8s are cleared at the next turn!

There is always the fanboys who defends every stuff blizzard throws ... right.
Everyone who defends galakrond shaman is probably bellow 40 iq
