25 games around top 500 legend and I played against only 1 Warlock (and it was a zoo demon deck)

Even if Tickatus is a good card, the deck itself is bad so it doesn't matter.

I'm much more worried about Druid and Rogue, they seems to be very efficient.

 Which rogue decks?

I saw like 10 threads this week criticizing them. Just 1 or 2 saying the new rewards system is nice. So, no.

I think the problem is not with printing new archetypes for shaman, the problem is that when you make a new archetype for a class, with no more support because is new, you need a good basic and classic set to make it viable or make that cards of the new archetype overpowered (look the LOE midrange shaman or Galakrond shaman when released). That is the difference between shamand and rogue por example. Rogue has a very good basic and classic set, and all centred in what he is good (tempo and agressive style). Meanwhile shaman has very weak cards.

In this new set shaman, we get new archetype, with no suport from the classic and basic, and not really strong cards at all, so it won't work, but shaman is getting a thing he needed in form of neutral cards: A win condition for control style. Shaman has good control tools, but was lacking that, so there is a chance to be viable. I was playing highlander shaman since before it was popular. Was enough good to hit legend, but the problem of the deck was that it only has Alex as a truly wincon, so I am building a new type of HL shaman with a pair of old goods and I am hyped for trying it.

Once again, and for third time in a row, shaman is getting meh cards, happened to pally the last year, and to priest the previous, there always happens, but we have to expect that in the next expansion shaman basic set will be revamped, like priest, so maybe things will be better for us :)

EDIT: BTW, check the difference of powerlevel between DH cards and shaman, and you will understand why the class is in that spot so long.

Well, you have to try to build your deck arround the spell damage hp. if you are lucky and get the spell damage treasure too you will have devastating swipes. Not the best hero, but not the worse. You will lose vs Mozaki always, as all other heroes. Long live to duels and fuk battlegrounds.

 You're in a battlegrounds thread..

 You don't say. All threads are battlegrounds thread...

Was just joking, just tired of bgs.

Just the fact that is a deathrattle and not a battlecry makes it already worse. Specially with that cheap DH silences and devolving missiles arround.

If it's a beer doll probably would have the drink tag.

Better for the oponents you mean?

Does not work this way. Secret Passage does not make you draw it, so you get the ticket in hand. Happened to me with the book of wonders in duels.

Saronite Chain Gang

Depends on what you are facing. Both are better vs control than vs aggro, if you are facing much aggro you don't really need it. Change nozdormu for evasive dragon.

Are Crystology and Divine Favor not good enough for you?

 They only fit in specific decks. Just saying.

I am sorry if you expected an autopilot T1 deck. This is not. This deck is the only reason I didn't quit of this game yet after the expansion, so is a deck to have fun, and I have with it. I managed to get legend with this deck, so is not useless, still 60% WR, so if you play it well it can do good things. If you want to feel really skilled you can go play Secret Passage and Guardian Animals.

I am rogue main but I think this card will be nerfed at some point, but I will quit the game if they nerf it before druid.
