I really like the Totem=draw trigger on MTT. Wish it would happen, but prob not :/
I don't think the elemental mechanics need adjusting... they worked well in the past so imo it's just a card choice issue.
I prefer Tidal Wave just going to 5 damage as shaman need an 8-cost spell to trigger big spell effects (7s do'nt cut it). For all the reasons you mentions vs Flame Strike, I don't think it's too much as vs a full board it's a full heal usually, but 5d makes it a decent 2/3 kill spell also. I think other, early survival options would be better to get to the 8m turn and we need bigger clear vs Rush Warrior etc (I'm actually trying Magtheradon atm :'D)
i know, Shaman need more 5+ spells, so I'm suggesting Dunk Tank should be changed: (5) 5d. Corrupt: 3d to enemy minions, ... then deals 8 to a single target which might be handy too
We need another (5)+ cost spell as Groundskeeper has only Tidal Wave and C'thun cards to work from. I'd like to buff Runic Carvings but that could be a dangerous for token druid. I think Dunk Tank is an option: (5) Current Corrupt = baseline. Corrupt: 4 damage to enemy minions. only this is pretty wordy. Not sure but they really left us short re high-end spells imo. Actually (5) 5d + 3 might work.
And, I just played a rush warrior for the first time in a long while... I have my doubts if ALL of the above would help a mid-control Shaman against that spec! :O :/
Hi, well as it happens I was tired of the same sad state of affairs so I've been having fun playing this abomination. Dropping like a stone to g5 but the control priest/warrior match-ups are a blast!
I was actually looking for help with any sort of refinement when this thread was on front page, so if yr desperate please let me know... :D
Deck of Lunacy - I think the power level of the card is still way off balance with the new 4-cost. It's really on T6/7 (playing midrange/control) that you're punished. It's STILL an opening hand keep + auto-win! Perhaps it's making aggro more effective but it will still be oppressive against many of the slower board centric strategies.
Pen flinger - Good that it hasn't the face damage, but I think the fact that rogue is going to be so strong after this, it doesn't matter! Rogue will find ways to finish you off, so will paladin through value.
The Watchposts + jandice - Far Watchpost was one of the best designed cards of recent times. Great tool against aggro and also miracle rogue/priest and Mage - midrange board centric decks had a chance at just generally SLOWING THE GAME DOWN! Mor'shan WP feels like a fair target, but i do wonder if targeting the Grunts (2/1) would have been a better move... at least subtler :/.
Watchpost Rogue doesn't really care about the effectiveness of the posts themselves, it's Kargal's procs to shadowstep and summon more grunts! Jandice nerf is a speed bump, but rogue is gonna be out of control.
Paladins are gonna surge, as are rogues.
Shadow step is the problem - being able to store 2 mana with excessive synergy for free is so out of balance compared other midrange classes (except librums).
Although I haven't played this yet I really think you did great with the logic behind the deck construction. Making PoM so flexible is genius! And, very funny intro. WD!
yeah i slacked on the details, out of practice! Yeah i'm inclined toward Mechemist too. It Magnetises like arcane missiles to multiple targets randomly (or one). Earthsong Staff would effect the cards in your hand too.
With Earthsong Staff I'm trying to get Splitting Axe and the totem buffs going. Started with 0-Attack as I thought it would be fun for the memes on Desert Obelisk Alarm-o-BotGurubashi Offering and other unused 0-Attack minions, but I think it's bit too limited. This might be dangerous in aggressive builds though?
Make quest hero power affect shaman minions only. This would remove lackeys and lifedrinker from high damage synergy, poss bringing Cumlolus maximus, but that's another bridge
Make galacrond priest hp Discover a class minion.
Make make rogue galacrond hero power 1 mana (even zero seems possible tbh)

Some selection of these make sense to me.
Shattered Rumbler (Taunt)
Vivid Spores (3 mana)
Tidal Wave (5 damage)
Totem Goliath (Taunt)
Mana Tide Totem (0/5)
Menacing Nimbus (2/3)

They just don't change the landscape at all imo.

Will try to put a smile on yr face... eeek! :'D
I've been having fun with this. The Buffs to the Overload cards in core set are making things flow really nicely.

Hey all, great topic!

my view;
Remove 'Battlecry' from invoke minions.
Make quest hero power affect shaman minions only. This would remove lackeys and lifedrinker from high damage synergy, poss bringing Cumlolus maximus, but that's another bridge
Make galacrond priest hp Discover a class minion.
Make make rogue galacrond hero power 1 mana (even zero seems possible tbh)

oh ye, forgot that you needed to play him, my initial understanding was you needed to have him in hand to devastate. thanks

Q - if I have shaman quest complete with galacrond in deck - I hero power then kronx; Do I draw Galakrond then choose devastation?

so it's a 6/11?
