OP, you joined today - welcome to Hearthpwn! But you logged on just to say that?

I'm reading this forum OTL

When you coin out the wrong card, and you can't even that much you just concede.

If trading was available, people would make hundreds of accounts, and slowly funnel all of the good cards from them all into one to have a ridiculously complete account.

Blizzard would never give out 3 packs at expansion launches if trading was available due to this fact.

For Shaman, you will need to include at least one of these things:

-Whirlwind in conjunction with Azure Drake, Baron Geddon, Dr. Boom, Brawl or Gorehowl. The majority of these cards wipe all the totems off the board, and should destroy the Murloc decks as well.

Eliminate Flametongue Totem andDire Wolf Alpha immediately with your Fiery War Axe, and for this matchup you can consider using Spellbreaker instead of Ironbeak Owl. I know I previously said Owl was better, but to take down a shaman you need to play minions that require multiple totems to kill.

I'll just summarise what other people have suggested into one post.

-Shieldmaiden is golden versus Hunter. This would be the top priority card to craft.

-You can't afford to spend two cards on killing a single minion. ∴, -2 Slam. Sure, it might have saved your neck, but even Magma Rager has stories like that. A one-off scenario does not warrant a card's place in a streamlined deck such as this.

-You need a Brawl in this deck. 2 is overdoing it, but one is fine.

-Craft a single Big Game Hunter, and put it in if you find you are versing Control Warlocks often.

I would also consider replacing Sludge Belcher with Bomb Lobber. Playing Bomb Lobber is proactive, rather than sitting around and waiting for something to attack. Remember that Lobber will usually hit the target you want, due to the fact that a good Control Warrior is only facing 1-2 creatures at a time.

-If you get enough dust, I'd go for Gorehowl as well. It will effectively remove creatures, and can double as a finisher.

-Dr. Boom or Baron Geddon needs to be in this deck. Helps out a lot with paladin and hunter opponents. Call me crazy, but swap Loatheb for one of these. You are already reactive enough. We all have had situations where Loatheb has won us the game, but remember you are a Control deck - you should have exhausted their hand already, so they will play their spell regardless of mana cost.

GLHF man!

It's looking pretty good, however I would swap the Spellbreaker for an Ironbeak Owl. It will aid your curve.

If you are looking to play ranked with this deck, possibly replace Sneed's Old Shredder as although it is value on a stick, you could end up getting something terrible. A lot of decks have been running Dr. Boom lately, so there's an option.

Play one threat at a time in the early game, but as you exhaust the opponent's answers go HAM. That's just my advice from being a long-time MTG player, but I haven't been in the Hearthstone scene for very long so don't take my words as gospel.

You can't just say x is bad because it can be countered. The whole point of cards like these is to thin the opponent's deck of removal. Every card can be answered.

That's all. Just posting it so the mods can update their news.

Is there any information as to why you were banned?

How to play Demonlock:

Turn 1-8: Do nothing whatsoever.

Turn 9: This guy.

Turn 10: Lord Jaraxxus.

Too easy. Thanks Banquetto, I had read that somewhere but wasn't sure. It's annoying but necessary how stuff always comes out in 'murica first.

UPDATE:

I have been playing on Asia servers.

When I go to my blank america account I get the packs and the cards are available for crafting, but on that account I haven't even unlocked the classes so that's kind of useless.

I don't know if that helps you with my position at all.

Worked OK for me in Aus as well - from what you are describing it sounds like it hasn't been updated upon this mornings release

Correct. I've gone through the whole "Scan and Repair", turn off/on jazz, but to no avail.

I am version 2.0.0.7234, which I believe is still the old one.

I am playing on a Mac, however I have downloaded the client off of battle.net. Sorry, I probably should have added that information.

As I am writing this (1:15 EST), I am in Hearthstone, but it appears to be the old client still. The new cards do not come up in crafting mode, and the only noticeable difference is that the store is closed. Am I missing something? I have read just every post on Hearthpwn, twitter and the blizzard forums, so please don't redirect me to one of them.

It has only taken me 7 hours to get in after I was supposed to (authentication issues), only to find a whole load of nothing much. As you could imagine, I'm pretty hacked off.
