I find first blade to be hit or miss. In hand buff he is great, but too often he doesn’t have rush and isn’t really worth playing without it.
Even without the buff I'm pleased with the card, specially because it is a sticky minion just before Battlemaster / Conviction turn. Murgugle and Varian feel weaker, the Prime doesn't matter and at 8 mana you are already closing most games.
Playing with Secret Paladin in top 500 legend, and yes the deck feel very unfair. Kinda a checkmate most of time when you have the 2 secrets and minions on board.
Also there is an other list that might be even more powerfull with stealth 2 drops and Blessing of Authority that can otk you as soon as they draw Battlemaster.
I'm playing First Blade of Wrynn over Murgugle and Varian and it proves to be a great addition on the deck, 4 mana 3/5 divine shield is kind of great and it become even more absurd with Bannerman
Fortunately Battlemaster is getting nerfed soon, it is so broken on many decks.
Sure Control Warrior could be improved since there is a variety of option where he could adjust to the current meta, but even then you are better playing Control Priest or Rush Warrior for the matter.
Shaman is really missing cards that can swing the game in their favor. Druid have Clown, Demon Hunter have Blackthorn, Paladin / Priest have N'Zoth and what does Shaman have ? It's purely relying on Doomhammer shenanigan to steal some games. Lilypad Lurker is the closest thing to an actual swing card, but even that is not enough.
Many meta deck have cards when played you are like "welp I can't win anymore gg", but Shaman is struggling every turn to get a win. Give us Zap! and Thunderhead so Shaman can be great again !
Yeah since Conviction didn't get nerfed, Paladin is still very strong. Sure First Day of School nerf (and yes, it is a nerf) affect paladin quite a bit, the Hysteria offset it.
Also, no more Crabrider, but Paladin have plenty of other option to fit the spot. and it really enjoy having Refreshing Spring Water to 5 mana

Too much people are still playing Prince Renathal in greedy control deck, like they didn't learn anything from last 2 weeks
Meta is still shifting from days to days, however Murloc Control Shaman seems the better deck currently specially if you add the evolve package

This is so good. Infuse card need to be playable even without the infuse effect and this the case. Will definitely see play

The fact that it is Naga first for discount change a lot of thing, and a lot of people will mess up the order so it's fine

Can't wait to see that this legendary is going to be the only freeze support that shaman will get this expansion
Another wasted legendary for Shaman (I hope I'm wrong)

Very interesting, I like that kind of design that promote deck building
I hope they print more powerful spell for druid to see it work

Face Hunter has always been the best deck at the beginning of every expansion, give it some time and it will slowly fade into Tier 2
Your post is more like "I lose to Face Hunter and Doom Shaman, nerf them"

How does it work with Hammer of the Naaru ? Does the elemental summoned get divine shield ?
