Yup! Kibler ran a Reno Priest deck with x2 Shadowformand and I played it a fair bit. It wasn't the most competitive deck but the x2 Shadowform was great in it. It allowed for some powerful turns where you could hero power twice to remove bigger targets in a pinch.
And I noticed that at the line "Your Friends, Corrupted" that is definitely a crazy looking Nat Pagle in the picture. Maybe this is something that everyone already has seen so I'm sorry if everyone else noticed and I am just late to the party, but I hadn't seen anything about it and thought it looked interesting.
I made a Mage deck that while it doesn't seem very competitive is fun. It runs Duplicate and Echo of Medivh and I managed to heal 89 health against a Face Hunter earlier using 4 Reno Jackson's. That was the best feeling ever.
I'm playing around with some of the new TGT cards to build a deck that uses Taunt and Dragons.
The general idea of the deck is to use your early turns to get out cards like Alexstrasza's Champion, Blackwing Technician, or Fiery War Axe. The minions can be taunted up with Sparring Partner for making sure you aren't outraced and for use with Bolster. The weapon is pretty self explanatory. Using these for favorable trades and getting board control would be important.
I worry that closing out the game could be a problem for the deck, and that it may be trying to do too much. Cramming Taunt, armor, and Dragon synergies into the deck may leave it unfocused but I'm really unsure. I wouldn't mind fitting Big Game Hunter, Sylvanas Windrunner, and/or Blackwing Corruptor into the deck either.
I'm just having fun playing with ideas so I'm really wanting some suggestions.
Could you somehow incorporate Dragon and the Taunt ideas into a deck? I played around with building one very quickly, I have no clue if it'll be any good or not but it's an idea.
Battletag: Samteria#1583 Region (US, EU, etc.): US Usual Play Times (don’t forget the time zone!): I usually play in the afternoon or late at night around midnight EST. But I'm off and on constantly through the day. I'm going back to college soon though so I'll have to work playtime around that, Level of Experience (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced): Intermediate, I usually hit around rank 4 before I get bored with ranked. I'm an okay arena player too, but nothing great. I usually average 5-6 wins. Preferred Heroes (List two or three of your favorite Heroes): Paladin <3 <3 <3 , Warrior, Warlock I’m Looking For (Practice Partner, Teacher, Students): Practice partner, someone to bounce deck building ideas off of (especially with TGT coming), just an overall friend in the game. I just want someone to have fun playing with. Tell us something about you: I am a sophomore in college, and I spend most of my time with music. I play a few instruments and write a lot of music, and I put a lot of time into that. Whenever I'm not involved with music, I play Hearthstone quite a bit. I've been playing since May of 2014, and I consider myself a pretty decent player. I played Paladin nonstop until Grim Patron rose to prominence, and since then I've been playing lots of Warrior and some Warlock and the very occasional Midrange Hunter. I'm easy to get along with and active in the game, so I'd really like to make some friends to play with!

What are future plans to deal with Jade if it proves to be oppressive to the meta after Un'Goro is released?

Reynad did a video recently where he discussed climbing ladder with an Aggro Shaman deck that uses pirates. It seems solid.

I would personally disagree, it works totally fine with 2 and it worked fine for Kibler as well!

My first card ever for one of these!
Also, I can't quite figure out how to post a card image correctly, if anyone could tell me how I'd really appreciate it!

So I was looking at this page about the expansion
http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/expansions-adventures/whispers-of-the-old-gods/
And I noticed that at the line "Your Friends, Corrupted" that is definitely a crazy looking Nat Pagle in the picture. Maybe this is something that everyone already has seen so I'm sorry if everyone else noticed and I am just late to the party, but I hadn't seen anything about it and thought it looked interesting.

Chillmaw and Varian Wrynn for sure.

I'd like to have my name changed to "Samteria" thanks for the help!

Using these for favorable trades and getting board control would be important.
As the mid game hits, other taunts like Twilight Guardian and Sludge Belcher could maintain board control alongside removal like Death's Bite and Shield Block/Shieldmaiden with Shield Slam.
If the board state is still a problem, Brawl and Chillmaw could help clean up. Azure Drake, Shield Block, and Acolyte of Pain can be used to make sure your hand has plenty of answers.
Then the game could be closed out by high value cards such as Dr. Boom, Varian Wrynn, and Alexstrasza.

I have no clue if this will be viable but it definitely looks fun and like it's worth trying, I'm gonna give it a try once the set is released.
