I agree with the shaman rework. So many cards never see play. Even Al'Akir the Windlord is just super underwhelming. Heck Siamat is a better card. Cheaper and more base stats. an RNG hero power, cant do aggro better than hunter or demon hunter. Cant control the board as good as priest mage or paladin. Mid range doesnt exist anymore it seems. how can you keep ahead with card advantage when your "best" card draw cards Far SightMana Tide Totem? Where other classes like mage get arcane initellect boom same cost 2 instant card draw. Dont get me started on AOE removal . Shamans used to be king with Lightning StormMaelstrom Portal. now other classes just does it better . Holy Nova sure its 1 mana but heals your board and damages your enemy. Thats a tempo swing. do i even need to mention warlock? I cant keep a board against them EVER Plague of FlamesDark SkiesHellfireCrazed Netherwing etc etc. for idk how long they keep jamming random stuff down shamans throats. HOW ABOUT A FREEZE SHAMAN but have 1 pay off card which is a legendary that is poorly stated. OOOO how about that amazing overload mechanic. sure they have a cheap spell but its more powerful RIGHT? Storm's Wrath OOo what a swing give your minions +1/+1 surely worth 2 mana . Overload is just a bad mechanic. and for GOD SAKE stop and i mean STOP SHOVING EVOLVE down our throats. I hate the rng it gives. totems are ALMOST there . They have tried totems a few times . why not just throw some of the totems into the base set. Primal Fusion would be great for the totem copiers. maybe even Wicked Witchdoctor just something. They have always given shamans HALF a mechanic. Are they scared shamans will be as powerful as they were back in the old gods? you know why ? Because they had a SOLID mid range strat. Flamewreathed was great, amazing early game totem golem and tunnel trogg thing from below. ETc
I have tons of cards been playing this game for a long time. I can a good amount of decks. Just finally decided to crack down and grind for legend and.. yeah just frustrated by only seeing maybe 2 classes. Just wanted to know what is good against them lol. Not going to cry about only 2 classes being played because i know that is not true. Just what i have experienced. I understand Meta and people play to win. Not complaining about no one is having fun. Just more of a knowledge topic
I have been struggling on ladder for about an hour before writing this post. I have been facing only priest and warlocks. Warlocks have been cube of course, and priest i have seen mainly Raza and spiteful. What are some decks that can counter this?
This is not a salt threat Just want some advice is all :)
I like the idea of Poisoned Blade and Bloodsail Raider. I feel that Poisoned Blade will be very slow and i dont feel it will get value. Depending on wether rogues/pirates will get some good inspired or not Assassin's Blade will be better. I made a pirate deck during the beginning of gvg. [card]One-eyed Cheat[/card] is a great card, as long as you have a pirate to play right afterward. Captain Greenskin i felt was again little slow for its mana cost. Those are just my opinions :) Love the idea.

Switch to mill rogue. Constantly face Aggro paladin and face hunter. NO priest or warlock

Mill does sound fun. I have tried Tempo rogue, big spell mage, Miracle rogue. Currently using Face hunter so lets see how that goes.

Tidehunter spawns 2 Murlocs where Bilefin does not

Yes, because i am sure you can predict the meta before the set is even out. Lets not forget how many professionals said Dr. Boom was a bad card

Dr.Boom is already in the deck. Sylvanas does not fight mech style. Rag would be the best if you are looking to replace a legendary with a legendary.

This was put in the game to give inspire rogue a chance...
