Shaman got a lot of love in this expansion. They got some very strong cards and immediately stomped players who were just testing decks. I learnt pretty quickly that Shaman absolutely crushes any C'thun deck that only has C'thun as a win condition. I think the main offender I have found when playing against a shaman is the flamewreathed faceless, as a 4 mana 7/7 it has an immediate impact when it comes out. It is not uncounterable because you can kill it with removal, but because of its body it immediately demands an answer. When I have faced shaman I always try to make sure I have a removal spell in my hand by turn 4 because if it is not dealt with quickly than it literally can steamroll you. Shaman is powerful right now because the meta has not settled down yet and Shaman got some of the most powerful cards in this expansion. When the meta settles down and people have more refined decks than shaman may not be such a problem, just watch out for the big guy on turn 4.

Nope not sick of them at all. While some are the boring cookiecutter ones seen on day one which are not that hard to beat, there are some interesting c'thun decks starting to pop up and they will get more interesting when more people experiment more and realise you do not need to just have C'thun as your only win condition so I expect more C'thun decks to become more refined once the meta finally settles down. As a whole I don't mind them and I have quite enjoyed playing C'thun decks although I have not used a C'thun deck since the first two days of the expansion, but I will try some more out soon. I am having a blast in this meta although facing aggro shaman is actually not very fun though I admit it is fun when you crush someone with it.

I think the short answer is Blizzard are not going to nerf any card which is not in the basic or classic set because any card not in those sets will eventually rotate out of standard. 

A 5 mana 3/3 azure drake would not be played because the stats are significantly worse than a 4/4. I would say in my opinion Azure drake is fine. Every card game needs some powerful creatures. Too many overpowered minions can be bad, however every minion being too balanced is also bad for a game as well because if the game is too balanced than it just becomes boring and stale because there are no threats. Yes maybe some cards may need nerfs, but nerfing too many cards in order to balance the game can also be potentially damaging. 

Azure drake is not a card that will automatically win you the game or put pressure on your opponent like dropping a flamewreathed faceless or a 4 mana mountain giant. I think Azure Drake is a card that just like what happened to Ancient of lore and keeper of the grove, even a slight reduction of its health, mana cost or its ability will make the card a lot worse.

Are we already confusing "overpowered card" with "good card"? If Azure Drake is overpowered, what are most recent Shaman cards? Hypermegaoverpowered?

It was oppressive and it did need a nerf, but even as a tech card people would rather run Ironbeak owl because nobody wants to play a 4 mana 2/2. Classic blizzard show that when they nerf a card, they banish it to the shadow realm. I actually think a fairer nerf would have been to make it a 5 mana 4/4. 

To be honest I think the game is always going to be dominated by aggro because more powerful cards will be released and outside of secrets, you can't do anything on your opponents turn which is why it is much easier to be aggressive. Unless blizzard release better early game taunts or removal than I think aggro will always dominate. As for the game being fun and interactive, hearthstone is not really an interactive game at least not right now.

I just saw a video by kolento playing miracle rogue in which yogg saved the mage he was playing by pulling out a doom. The effect may not be as crazy as before but sometimes yogg is still good as a last resort card because if it dies, at least you don't have to worry about it doing something negative to you after potentially clearing the board and putting you in a winning position (I had a yogg which cleared my opponents board, drew a bunch of cards, added a bunch of secrets, it then polymorphed itself, then it pyroblasted my face killing me.)

You should watch Dog and Kolento. Although Kolento doesn't really talk to his viewers about his plays, he makes really smart plays. Do not ever watch Kripparrian if you want to learn how to play, in my opinion he is actually really bad at the game. If you want to learn Arena, watch Ratsmah, he is probably one of the best arena players on Twitch, but very underrated. 

I think the reason why Leeroy jenkins summons whelps because it lead to a raid wipe in world of warcraft due to one of the players called Leeroy Jenkins shouting "Time's up, lets do this LEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSSSSSS" as he charged into a fight while his team were discussing strategies, they ran in after him in order to save him and they all ended up getting massacred by a bunch of whelps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLyOj_QD4a4. When his team scolded him, his last words were "At least I had chicken."

As a wild player, seems like this might revive quest-exodia. 

Oooooh, Hand Mage!

Body plus hand extension - sweet ;o 

I like where new control mage -minion based is heading.

But without DK Jaina will feel weird now that we used to her 

yeah, i noticed that.. probably some losers

Just one spell with this is pretty good, 2 or more and It's great. Mage spell pool is pretty good overall so not too much risk. Turn 4 Frostbolt and this into ??? is not bad

OMG! This is a GOOD CARD! :O

Coin also gives random mage spell

So many downvotes in this thread
