What do you think about this Shaman weapon? I think it's versatile and potentially powerful, but I'm having trouble of assessing its true value.

You can equip it turn 1 and basically get a Fiery War Axe with upside on turn 2. But it can also serve as quick removal much like Rockbiter or as a finisher similar to Doomhammer.

Feedback pls

I say borders OP or is OP, because even summon a 5-mana demon with 5 targeted damage is nearly 9 mana worth. Maybe drop to 4-7, or increase cost to 10... oops, 10 cost is forbidden in this competition. Or, maybe amp damage to 5-8, and since there are no demons with cost 8, dealing 8 damage will result in a drawback thus compensating for increased damage.

 I think anything less than five damage would just make it unplayable. For 9 mana, you really want a good effect since it will most likely cost an entire turn's mana. Also consider minions like Void Crusher can come out of this which may have a chance to backfire.

To make up for Poisoned Blade.

This card will completely wreck so many things in combination with existing cards. Control rogue will no longer be a dream! Sure this would likely eventually be nerfed to 1/2, but until then...

In case te wording is confusing, this silences the minion, not the weapon, obviously.

The thing is you can play around a card like DF or Unleash the Hounds the same way you can play around cards like Flamestrike and BGH.

Don't hoard cards versus paladins, and if your deck just does that like Freeze Mage or CW then maybe the card is designed to counter your deck. People complain about it because it does wreck control, but it's garbage versus any other deck that plays a lot of cards. The same way a card like Mind Control wrecks a control mirror but is probably not going to be played versus an aggressive deck. Or a card like Shield Block is good versus aggro but a liability versus some control matchups.

Just because a card is strong versus your deck doesn't make it broken or doesn't mean it should be nerfed. It's when a card is strong versus EVERY deck  that a card should be looked at as requiring a balance.

... and sometimes unintentionally annoy midrange/control players as well. I'm really sorry about that, but it so happens the deck can often deal with those as well.

Aggressive decks annoy the crap out of me, they just do. They make me want to punch a hole in my desk! 

It's only fair that I annoy them right back. That's the goal of this deck, to kill all their shiny toys over and over, just like they always kill my armor and life total.

It's actually pretty succesful so far. Played 8 games (all about 20 minutes long) and won 7. Lost against a control warrior (but won against two) and won against zoo, a priest, two paladins (midrange and secret) and a shaman (mech/ deathrattle hybrid) The deck lives up to its name, it can handle a LOT of pressure. The shaman in particular comboed with Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate with BOTH Kel'Thuzad and Sylvanas Windrunner, and I survived both.

Here is the deck:

Best moment of the deck: 

I used a thoughtstolen Aldor Peacekeeper on the opponents Tirion Fordring, then later used Shadow Madness on it to get the Ashbringer. And yes, I did win that game :)

Naturally, I'm interested in experiences and suggestions!

Why does every single Eboladin topdeck a truesilver everytime they're 4 off lethal... Or mages with their fireballs... Or zoolocks with their fucking doomguards

Simple truth is aggro has a higher chance to get a "good" hand than control. I've had games where even a turn 4 sludge belcher comes too late. What's really important is not to get frustrated when you lose one of those games, because when you get frustrated is when you start throwing subsequent games you could actually have won.

Really, 10 in the evening and 50% of the players are bots already?

Is it too much to ask to play against actual people? This is getting ridiculous.

It was near impossible to win BEFORE Justicar Trueheart. When I faced freeze mage as a CW back then, the only way I could lose was with an extremely well-timed Archmage Antonidas. With even more ways to rake up armor now... I don't see how you can win. I started playing freeze mage this season too, and I just accept that every warrior I face will be a loss.

But I'm still having trouble against the really aggressive decks as well, winrate so far is not high, but it's not the easiest deck.

Pro tip: If you want to finish your winning turn, don't anounce that you are going to win by saying "well played" at the very start of your turn, because it takes me just two seconds to hit concede, and you could have just said it a turn ago when we both already knew you were going to win anyway. Why did I not hit concede then last turn then? Because I actually like playing to the end. But if you don't have the courtesy to say "well played" after the game is actually over then I won't let you get to the end at all.

This phenomenon doesn't even bother me that much necesarily, I just find it a really weird thing to do, and it almost feel like I HAVE to hit concede in response.

 Many of my opponents were saying well-played when they were 1 dmg off lethal just to force the concede. They didn't have it, so I finished them next turn. Sometimes it's just a bluff...

 Its true I do that all the time. Its like preying on my opponent's stress.

I like having options on turn one, that's why I like both, really.

How about -1 duplicate, -1 mirror image instead? I don't want to draw a duplicate and I rarely want to play mirror image on turn 1. -1 duplicate makes the second mad scientist pretty useless though...

True, but since there is so little draw in the deck (no Arcane Intellect), not getting the echo can lose me the game (where a fireball may have won it as well, admittedly) so that's why I put in two. Going to test it without for sure.

Can you tell me why you value Cogmaster higher than Clockwork Gnome? Clockwork gnome synergises with almost all the other cards in the deck, while cogmaster only synergises with the mechs (one of which you suggest I take out.) I was thinking of taking out Cogmaster myself.

Maybe I'm disproportionately happy about getting to rank 5 two seasons in a row, but I don't play ladder much, so I just don't have the time to get to legend. So rank 5 (and the golden epic) is my goal each season.

Anyway, I struggled for months with control warrior, getting no further than rank 10 until two seasons ago, when I managed to get to rank 6 with the deck, there was already a golden epic involved, so I tried and tried, but I just couldn't get to rank 5.

Last season, I tried again, this time with the much less fun to play/play against secret paladin deck. I got to rank 5 in a breeze. I was happy, but also disappointed. No deck should be so stupidly powerful.

Anyway, I was on my way to get to rank 5 again this season. Counter decks are a bit more refined so it was a bit harder, meaning I had to play this horrible deck a bit more than I liked. So I switched it up! I had recently crafted Echo of Medivh to play around with in my experimental banana taunt deck, so I whipped up the following deck:

I'm sure it's not an original deck, but I did build it on the spot without help of the internets. And it actually turned out to be more effective than my agressive secret paladin deck. Went from rank 8 to 5 with it, and I had a lot more fun doing so. I'm probably going to refine it and play it again next season. Unless I can make banana taunt more effective, then I'm totally going to ladder with that :)

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions for this deck! My goal is to make it stronger without taking the fun out of it. Most cards are pretty essential, but some direct damage in the form of Frostbolt or Fireball would be nice. The question is, what to take out?
