This is a complete rework of existing cards without taking away from the idea of what shaman is suppose to be. Focusing on just improving existing arch types in line with other class arch types. It isnt a 100% solution to all shaman problems but it puts shaman in a spot where it could be in line with other classes with just a few minor card releases mostly in the form of a value engine and some more card draw options.

This just brings it closer in line with existing classes in both wild and standard. This does not fix shamans lack of card draw or a value generator in standard but helps fix all the curve issues shaman has. This is not designed to make every single card better but rather bring archtypes closer in place with existing classes. Some of the cards are buffed and nerfed at same time its a complete rebalance of curve so you can play cards on curve effectively with different archtypes. Overloads are adjusted to feel balanced with what the spell does. A couple of overload pay offs were added. Some discover effects replacing random effects that were really not checked well in the format.

shaman does need a value generator card still in standard and card draw mechanic to boost its playability. But this brings the curve way more in line with the curve of other classes and brings down the pain of overload. Reducing tidle surge by 1 mana and overload on lightning storm gives it some strong board clears. The elementals curving better helps it not feel as bogged down by overload and so they have more play options. So that it should be somewhat OK in a midrange spot. That would be assuming they provided a source of card draw and a value generator in the upcoming mini set shaman would be in a good spot. Sitting upper tier. It would also bring shaman closer in line with other classes in wild. There are dozens and dozens of card buffs in there I know for me it would make me try playing shaman all over again.

Noteable Interesting Overload has some interesting break points on odd and even. You get some better options for totem builds. Freeze was re-worked to be more playable. Elementals were given some more value and curve help. Card draw was made less feel bad. Im sure people could come up with a few dozen different deck ideas if we got those changes to at least try. I dont think most of those changes are super unbalanced wither if anyone has comments on anything they think would be overtuned. I personally wouldnt mind feedback. I based changes off existing cards in other classes and how the shaman versions feel under tuned.

Classic is played fairly heavily but the meta is much more fast paced for most part than standard you basically have.

OTK Decks that go off by turn 6-7 with limited resources.

Aggro which is super aggressive burns out fairly quickly for most part and generally wins by turn 4-6 or it loses in most cases.

Long game control OTK which is mostly not as efficient as the faster OTK decks and will usually lose that mirror but is very consistant and isnt going to run out of I kill you effects on 1 attempt to do so.

Midrange aggro - Galakrond Rush warrior and a few other decks fall in here. They are a little slower than the hyper aggro decks but can still win the control match if they dont go off right away and out right kill the deck before turn 6. Secret Mage also falls in here. They generally beat the snot out of the aggro decks.

Control - This is pretty much highlander, Warlock, and various versions of shudderwok/Kingsbane/Poison Rogue. Struggles more against aggro to get a foot hold depending on the aggro match up.

Like 30% of the wild meta is some sort of mage deck however more common than any other match up your going to get highlander mage, flamewalker mage and secret mage secret mage less so at lower tiers. Flamewalker mage is by far the most common match in the format. Higher tiers you'll see more pirate warrior, taxes paladin, secret mage start to show up the only deck consistant really for youll play 4-5 matches at least every 5 ranks is pretty much Flamewalker mage its by far the most common deck in wild accross all ranks.

Twisting nether...does he resummon himself?

To clarify that would be if you hit a 1 health minion both neighbors would take 3 correct. Cause that could be pretty strong early game aoe removal and its not bad as a single target removal card on its own comparable to jade lightning at 4 mana.

1 Health = Potential 7 damage.

2 Health = Potential 6 damage.

3 Health = Potential 5 damage.

 could be a possible inclusion in cannon paladin in wild draw Shirvallah or giants and give them a 20-25 cost they cant play or in hand lock with giants or giants mage. The intent being to give them a card they cannot play.

Cinderstorm misses the dragon and all goes face .... 5 6/6 nether dragons lol and a 4/12. Or hunter hero power for 12 ok ill make a 6/6 you can do 2 for every 6/6 dragon you want to beat the snot out of you next turn. It looks fun.

Hopefully this one will work and post the image

I kinda liked the idea of using Bolvar Fordragons stacking in hand effect but going a different route where your stacking health and gaining the attack from a battlecry effect.

Corridors dust, patches dust charge was the only thing made him viable means hes not even playable in wild, and well raza is on the outs as well. Bone mare wont get dusted. The other 3 nerfs make them unplayable even in wild.

well in 3 clears with every class 1 class took almost just over 200 bosses to get the third clear which most others were like 60 or less accounting learning curve ect and you might be suprised ive seen a few people in different threads who were accurate. But id rather see the communities opinion im actually running them all currently to 10 clears just cause i like doing random crazy shit with each of the classes. 

Looking to pole the community as i feel personally that 1 class needs a buff for options on runs or more consistancy having cleared 3 times with each class the number of attempts it took was by far significantly higher with 1 class in particular that will remain unnamed till the thread gets 200 votes however id like the thoughts from the community. Most of the time the set class on random rng would loose on boss 3-5 before even getting the first treasure and ocassionally even on the second boss due to bad rng. So Id like a pole from the community on what class needs generally better pull options doing the runs. As i wish to keep the thread unbiased.

climb ladder and have fun

 

Climbing ladder and having fun doesn't work very vell.  ;)

The Aggro Paladin deck is the most boring thing I've played since pre-nerf Quest Rogue. Loses easily to any control deck, very draw dependent, no fun playing it at all. 

I'd go for a the Warlock deck of your choice. Warlock got some pretty cool new cards to play with. Control got lots of possibilites but good old (Demon) Zoo also works pretty well in the meta.

2nd vote for Big Spell Dragon Priest. Duskbreaker kills aggro and you can have massive swings with Spiteful Summoner. And stealing cards from your opponent's deck with the OP 5-drop-dragon is always fun
