Really? Apart from Electra Stormsurge, shaman didn’t really get anything good. Couple ok cards that won’t be enough to lift it out of the dumpster tier it’s been in since Frozen Throne. Plus an absolutely useless legendary spell. Unless there’s a decent shudderwock deck from all the neutral battlecrys, shaman is going to be down the bottom again this expansion.
Doesn’t matter anyway. Game is completely broken with the new Druid cards. Maybe next expansion?
Aaand shaman is garbage tier again this expansion. Worst legendary spell out of the lot. Only works in zoo with no immediate impact, and you can just bloodlust instead for cheaper. Will never see play. Worse than runespear.
Decent balanced card. One solid even cost board clear and shaman will be competitive after the Druid nerf patch. Going to be the most one sided meta in history until then though, so these card reveals don’t really matter anymore.
Feel like there might be more to this whole spark token thing we haven’t seen yet. What’s the bet we get a couple more spark generator cards with a legendary spell that turns them into flames or something?
Brewmaster works fine. I think it works better a lot of the time actually. Doesn't leave the body on the board, but still bounces your wock copies or any of your other minions. Is cheaper so its easier to combo with your battlecries. Kalimos for instance. Also has vanilla stats so can drop it on curve if needed with no minions on the board. It's a lot easier to fit into the match than finding a target and spare mana for Zola.
Well, I've seen just about enough. Calling it now. Shaman is going to be absolute trash again next expansion. Possibly even worse than it is now. Almost nothing playable since ungoro has been released for the class and that doesn't look like changing. All cards released so far are quite average on power level and only fit into very specific decks. Apart from hagatha I'm doubting any will even see play, which is a massive concern considering the current shape of shaman and that Jade claws, Jade lightning, Jade spirit, aya, evolve, devolve, maelstrom portal, the thing from below, flamewrathed faceless are all leaving standard, gutting basically every shaman archetype and replacing it with basically nothing. Shaman need some serious love in their remaining cards.
Seems bugged. I get Mind Control every time from Spiteful summoner if I've already drawn every spell from my deck. Went 16-1 though... Only lost to a burn Mage. This game is nice and balanced. Won more games in 2 hours with a priest than 10 days with a shaman.
Hey guys, looking for some advice. Have had some pretty good win rates today against most classes, have climbed to rank 10, but have lost 12 out of 13 matches against priests. It's the only class I have a negative win rate against. Have tried a whole lot of different shaman decks, but control evolve with worms, arcane giant and witch doctor seems to be the only thing really competitive on ladder at this stage.
Just seems priest have better board clears, better minions, better card draw, better single target removal, better late game finishers and better gimmicks than shaman. Anyone found a shaman deck that can actually compete against them?
Tried this deck, ran into 4 priests in a row and gave up. Got board cleared every single time I had more than 3 minions out. They even busted out the spirit lash and pyromancers. Corridor creeper seems a lot better than I expected though.

Shudderwock, omega defender and this with a chain gang.... Stealthed 16/6 shudderwock copies. Hmm.

Actually, come to think of it. This is kinda just a conditional version of the priests omega card and no one rates that..

Oh nice. Unless Malygos is going to wild, no other class but Druid is playable this expansion. Awesome game balance here.

Whoops, actually 1x Hex and an additional tar creeper. Can't seem to remove cards from the deck list on my iPad.

Played 5 matches with this deck. Every single one against paladin. Got stomped every time. Not even a contest. Deck is simply no good in this meta.

Does this work with no card draw?
