Hearthpwn

Varian Wrynn *cough cough* the unspoken one. I knew it was bad but I didn't know it was that bad that nobody except one person mentioned it. Guess y'all buried those unwanted memories or y'all are horde lovin' barbarians and it speaks with all those comments that reek of sylvanas and Nathrezim favoritism you uncultured swines.

Varian has the best entrance, best -and most drawn out- intro music and one of the best animations that is a delicacy to watch so long as you're not playing him on purpose or, heavens forbid, built a deck around it. It's simple and smart; unlike the ones we have now with Frizz, Malygos and Chen'valah which are all just recolored eye candies and a sore to my sight.

Can't have fun in Hearthstone anymore. Since last year, actually, due to lack of key cards for viable decks and classes that I detest playing with being prominent (shaman especially) kind of sealed it for me. Came back for DoD, wasted remainder of my dust on cards I'll never play, knowing that I'll regret, in a near complete trans mode after falling from rank 1 to rank 5 all the way down. So close, yet far away. Very sad, indeed. Can't take climbing serious anymore either; competition makes me an irritable and insufferable person and I treat everything and everyone around me badly in that short notice. When your life feels like a shitty The Smiths song, nothing ever went or goes your way in life, you just become this mess.

Maybe I should distance myself. It felt sad at first, but then I remembered that it's okay. Yeah, it's whatever I guess.

I don't think priest is in worse situation than warlock. Since I don't have funds enough to craft and playtest the archetype, I couldn't get a feeling enough to decisively conclude whether it's "bad; don't touch it" or "needs more support"; however, I have close to 1000 wins with the class, more than 500 of which were with handlock I've started playing since Un'goro. I'm missing Valdris, Betrug and Zeraku all of which are expensive cards. Warlock doesn't have the power to flip the board outside of Godfrey.

Now Priest on the other hand I could get a feeling of very well. In fact I've been experimenting with it the last 3 days several different ways to make use of Phaoris archetype. If at any point meta indicates a slowing down of any sort and after Shamans meet their rightfully earned demise, I think this archetype will have a potential to be busted. As of now, meta is too fast and Shudderwock gives so much value to Galakrond shamans with infinite shudderwocks that it's pointless to play anything other than Shaman. Control warrior seems to be feeding off of the rise of Shamans, but they aren't quite there either because of the prevalence of aggro decks in the form of SMOrc hunter and zoolock (good and fun times).

Druid I think is the weakest of all classes in the game right now. Serves them right though, the reprobate Druids and their quest are the reason we ended up having Faceless in every single deck in the game with the exception of two particular combo decks.

So far, this Rogue deck seems to be performing wondrously even at the mercy of shamanstone, including the double galakrond battlecry combo can be defied with some consistent board presence and preserved removals.

The card that I hate the most is Faceless Corruptor right now. I seriously think this card needs tuning; first to summon gets the game served in a silver plate in literal sense. Ladder is full of shamans so it becomes even more of a problem than it could be had shaman quest not existed. Uncontainable, unmanageable, imbalanced and too in-your-face response to the glorified druid card, albeit a neutral which everyone can access to.

Anyways, I welcome any improvements to my horrendous deck or decks that you play. I feel like Druid and Priest can be a lot of fun, but Mages and Shamanstone kinda makes Dragon Druid and Priest a pipe dream. Warlock still disappoints...Boy how low has Gul'dan fallen.
