    Not sure if this deck is capable of winning any games in this meta, honestly.

    Imagine if Rania just had enough one day, came in, and hit the button, ending hearthstone... for a couple hours anyway.

    Example 4: 2 people are shooting 10 arrows to target, winner takes 5 gold and after that they toss a coin, winner takes 10 gold. Yogg-Saron, Hope's End with Ben Brode's face takes the entire pool of gold after the fact and tosses a bunch of 20-sided dice, throws the dice away, then awards the gold to a random person, laughs obnoxiously, and says it was a skilled result.

    Here's the thing: The Devs have absolutely no idea what constitutes good random effects or bad random effects before they create cards that they put into the game. Discover was a great mechanic, I don't think anyone has ever had a valid issue with that mechanic because it was implemented so well. Yogg, however, has a very poor random effect for reasons pro players have already talked about and is generally anti-fun for whoever receives the bad end of it. The issue is not RNG, but how it is implemented. There is choice and skill involved in picking from Discover results, but with Yogg it's so wild and out there that it takes away player agency completely and ruins games even at the top. Yogg is the absolute worst RNG implemented in the game at the moment.

    Another example of good RNG vs. bad RNG: Animal Companion, while one usually hopes for a specific result (always Huffer), never has a truly negative effect on the game for the person playing it and is generally fair. Compare that to Lightning Storm in which that RNG can be absolutely painful to watch at times and can make or break the early game against a more aggressive boardstate, as it always has been since long before Shaman became one of the best classes (due mostly to cards that will exit in Standard at the beginning of next year).

    This is not even fair and I love it. Completed 2 60g quests for me in 5 games.

    Wow, Shaman finally gets good decks going for it within the past two expansions after being one of the worst classes for the majority of the game's life, and people moan about it nonstop. Never hear this much complaining about Warrior which is a permanent tier 1 fixture because of the class' design.


    Quote from GiantDwarf0 >>

    Be thankful for Aggro Shaman.  It's keeping ladder from being flooded by the RNG clown fiesta of Yogg decks and miserable games of "Do I have CotW in hand?  Of course I do - two actually!" with Rexxar.

    The actual problem is that Blizzard continues to be bad at printing control cards for classes not named Warrior.  Proper control decks still beat shaman down (I have a nearly 60% winrate against it with an N'zoth Pally).  The only problem is that all of the tempo/midrange in the meta is absolutely killing control.  Such is life.

     Also this.

    Thinking of either crafting Deathwing or Onyxia, have pretty much everything else I want other than maybe one of the Muklas or Yshaarj for gimmicky shenanigans.

    Worked way better than the Pally one, thanks. Still took a while due to the orc not behaving as people said she does though, but I'm sure that's mostly just the RNG of the heroic.

     Really starting to wonder why everyone else says the bosses never attack taunts when they clearly do. The only exception for me has been Netherspite, but even he attacked taunts once in a while.

    Warrior's entire basic & classic kit. The class can do just about everything and handle everything that's thrown at it, and always has remained at the top by design.

    If other classes were blessed with half the anti-aggro, cheap removal, synergy, and sustenance that Warrior has been given by the developers, the game would be in a much better state.

    You've still got at least 4 months of use for him in standard, so I say go for it.

    I wanted this to work so badly, but I just can't manage with all this aggro in the game. Even with big taunts, everything just gets deleted on the spot because it's so easy to overwhelm with constant, sustained minions. I'm sorry. :(

    I would love it if aggro players would go just away and stop ruining the game for the rest of us for at least a couple weeks. Can't have fun or try new things out when you have face spammers in every match.

    posted a message on HOW WOULD YOU DO THE NEXT EXPANSION?

    If I were on the dev team, I would make no new cards for Warrior at all for just one expansion and instead spend all the effort Warriors usually get by giving other classes the multiple identities Warriors already enjoy, including cheap anti-aggro. The game would be fixed.
