Love how people think they can place Ben Brode as to whether he is "worthy" of his position. There's a reason he's employed. Don't kid yourselves.
The team as a whole have a difficult job to do in terms of creating and maintaining appeal across a wide spectrum audience. Sat behind your computer, sprouting negativity about the guy, just shows how detached you are from the realities of being in his position under one of the largest entertainment companies on Earth.
Him and the team are aware of what they do. They live the game every single day, at work, when the majority of the HS community are at work doing something entirely different. I for one think he quite clearly lives the game, as I do and anything from there is just someone's perception of the decisions he and the team make in regard to the game and could never fully take into account all facets of that reality as we don't work on Hearthstone.
As for the subject of Wild and naga sea witch..there are plenty of players out there dominating wild without running the deck and against the deck. Look at its stats and you'll see that it isn't everything people portray it to be..

Hi Stepwood!
Me playing your deck! Enjoy!

I agree with you, keeping the Shadowform if not needed is good for the Elise Starseeker game plan, as well as all the spells that you do not have to use during the course of the game. Also, I think that Sylvanas and Tournament medic are good choices because your opponent cannot ignore them and this is a key point of this kind of build: he have to spend resources to handle them (spells and/or creature and time).
Finally, the Loot Hoarder is amazing in this resurekt deck because it helps a lot to dig your deck and find solutions.
A very well designed version, effective, steady and fun to play. (my current wr: 7/2)

Hi Stepwood,
I've commented your decklist few weeks ago (in June, 20). Since this month I've played it time to time (in fact every time you put an update).
Your actual updated list is just amazingly powerful. By adding Priest of the Feast + Onyx Bishop, you put your build to the next level.
That being said and this is just a funny fact I want to share: when I take a look on my replay, I realize that your build is so powerful that most of the time I do not feel the necessity of using Shadowform! :)
So, congratulations! :) And keep this build updated! :)

Hi Stepwood,
I really like your build. It's really close to mine.
Main difference between them?
That being said, this kind of build is really solid even if (in a meta full of aggro, midrange hunter and control / tempo warrior) it's quite difficult to pilot it properly. As soon as you master the "When to play Shawdowform?" and have the board control your opponent will have an hard time to deal with you.
Thanks for the share.

In the current meta this deck suffer a lot. Too many fast aggro deck and in the same time I face a lot of midrange hunter who are nearly unbeatable. That being said, this is a fun deck to play and I will work on it for next season.
You've made a comment during the playtest: the lack of weapon removal. You are right. So I remove one mind vision to add a Harrison Jones. Works good actually.
Peace & LUV!

Hi Khristophesaurus,
Thank you so much for testing the deck! :) That's Incredible!
Seems you spend good time playing it! ":^) Both games are awesome but your victory vs the Reno C'Thun Paladin is really awesome!
Again, thanks for spreading the Yogg LUV! You can take for granted a Lifelong Kult of Yogg membership as Mighty Kult Master of LUV! ":^)
Best tentacles!

Yeah this card fits very well the build and have awesome value. Was playing it last month instead of the assassinate.
Last game, I've played Brann, then copied Blade of C'Thun, bladed the Ragnaros of my opponent and gave Stealth to Brann then play a HUGE 28 C'Thun the next turn! ^^
Rekt!

Hi Spark!
As usual, an awesome build.
Testing it on the ladder 'til this morning and currently working well for me with a 7-1 record from rank 20 to rank 17... So something like 88% WR... During my run I've faced a lot of different decks from Control Priest to C'Thun Druid, and two Shamallows that I literaly crushed...
Only lose against a Yogg-Saron Tempo mage but it was played by Harry Potter as you can see on the picture! so no shame at all... :D
Cya.
HF & GG!
PS: Thanks for the vids and the guide that, as usual, help a lot to learn how to pilot properly the deck.
