Possible uses for Vargoth here are:

• Oaken Summons shenanigans, e.g: use Oaken Summons -> get Vargoth summoned -> at the end of the turn he casts Oaken Summons and summons Ironwood Golem. I understand that this is a big high-roll, but potentially getting 2/6 + 3/6 taunt + 12 armor for 4 mana is good.
• Another use is: Vargoth + Stampending Roar or Vargoth + Witching Hour
• Also if the enemy is in fatigue or at 10 cards: Vargoth + Naturalize

P.S. I have tried today a variation of this deck (with extra golem and cube instead of Vargoth and 2nd Devilssaur, since I don't have them). Looks good if you start with Biology Project on turn 1 and follow-up with 4-mana stuff on next turn. BUT with Biology Project coupled with Stampending Roar there is a big problem with card starvation if you don't draw into psychmelons. So I am thinking of substituting Stampending Roars with 1 Ultimate Infestation and Mechanical Welp.

Playable... but the power level of the base four forms is kinda meh.

Weird card...

• But it can win you the game if the opponent mechathun priest gets a Snowfury Giant. Discovering Demonic Project near the end when they have only combo pieces, could screw them as well (and no matter who gets it).
• Also it increases the hand size. So it can be used to try and burn opponent's card on draw.
• There is also the synergy with cards that have hand-related effects, like Mountain and Clockwork Giants, Bewitched Guardian, Brainstormer, Meteorologist, Astromancer, Goblin Sapper, etc. Or you could discover a dragon in order to enable some dragon-related battlecry.
• Also if you get a minion, you might put it on the board for free with Princess Talanji.

Not to mention that same card can have different value in different decks. Like you are playing vs Odd Paladin and discovering two Volcanos. Or Defile, Spirit Lash, Volcanic Potion, or any other spell that damages all minions.

Ehh, another counter to Dark Wispers, Wisps of the Old Gods and Darkshire Token Paladin.

He probably meant 2x Fire Fly plus 2x Igneous Elemental.

My only gripe is that when mana treants die they give you EMPTY crystals.

Pity. It could be such menagerie synergy...

Does it work with Silver Hand Murlocs from Vilefin Inquisitor?

Actually yes. Raptor is better against brawl and any AoEs that deal 3+ damage. In other cases Pantry should be a not worse or even better substitute as it's an extra body to buff.

Kinda wish the taunt was a 2/5 instead. Just don't see the point in running it in any deck right now.

Too weak.

The best part about this counter is the cards it takes are good enough on their own and will most likely remain in warrior even if Shudderwock goes away completely. Azalina is simply an amazing card with tremendous value. Playing against maly druid? Steal their maly, spells and armor gain. Playing against BSM? Don't play any minions and steal their removal to blow up their boards. You can out armor them anyways. So many applications, shudderwock is just one.

I just played against this deck as Shudderwock and I won with 4x Lifedrinker (Zola, Grumble). It's just too much damage, considering the battlecries of the Control Warrior often don't trigger in the right order. Even if Cornered Sentry comes before Drywhisker Armorer, there's likely a Bloodrazor inbetween who kills the Raptors before you gain armor with Drywhisker.

After the expansion there won't be many Shudderwocks anyway, as people will want to try new decks first, but if Shudderwock will come back after some weeks and if Control Warriors will still be obsessed with the idea to counter Shudderwock with Azalina, then I'd tech in Spirit Echo as the Shaman. How about 6x Lifedrinker? That's 18 damage per mana = 180 damage in one turn. Good luck!

 All the warrior has to do is play a bring it on! and throw out infinite Shudderwocks until the turn timer expires. Also, the combo in warrior was a staple before Shudderwock was even a card. All warrior did was add an Azalina and it has proven valuable in multiple matches, especially against druids where you can steal cards like Hadronox. But hey, if you want to make your deck worse to try countering warrior then be my guest. lol

Awesome idea! :)
It's very fun defeat a Shudderwock shaman with their own combo

 We'll find a way, beleive me :)

btw shudderwock players stop throwing trash on this guy for finding a way of countering shudderwock shaman.

this deck works great against basically any deck because you have the quest as your win condition if your opponent isn't shudderwock shaman, I'd suggest you guys give this deck a try it's so fun to get insane armor against shudderwocks :p

This is why: (Exactly 10 damage lethal with second Lifedrinker)
