i've been running a curator list. it's mainly a dragon deck, the only beast is 2x scarab and the only murloc is finley. i dont run any big dragons (volcanic drakes are the biggest), and i count on netherspite historian (especially with brann) for late game minions. scarabs mostly help with survival by supplying hex, aoe, or heal wave

deck isn't refined at all, but its pretty fun and i've climbed to rank 8 with it as of now

i gave up on malygos shaman when ancestors call was phased out

yeah the lightning jolt hero power is great in control matchups, but with brann and netherspite historian, i feel the deck doesn't really need more late game anyway

i love charged hammer in control decks too, but i found it really awkward to have both the hammer and finley in the deck, so i ended up cutting the hammer

the hammer is obviously more powerful than finley, but dragon decks tend to run a bunch of midrange minions, and it can get difficult finding the 4 spare mana to play the hammer sometimes, whereas finley can be a turn 1 play

why not run finley and curator if you're already running beasts and dragons?

i remember a while back during LOE, loyan was running a Dragon Shaman deck with Jeweled Scarab and did well in legend with it... 

the deck fell out of favor with shaman getting great tools in WOTOG, but with The Curator being a card experimented with, I've tried messing around with a similar deck.

The basic gist of it is to run various Dragons, Scarabs for beast, and a copy of Finley to maximize Curator value. With Netherspite Historian you don't really need to run big dragons likeYsera in the list to make the deck work. Volcanic Drake combos well with AOE as well.

I don't have a refined deck yet, but I think it's worth exploring.

how often were you actually holding 2 rockbiters by turn 10? odds are you used at least one for board control. big al still works with flametongue, primal fusion, or a solo rockbiter.

the real question is if rockbiter will survive in non-doomhammer decks, not if big al with survive

this is more of a priest buff than anything. worgen otk had literally no counter from priest

this card was amazing in aggro warrior, dragon warrior, and every variant of control warrior. it will still be great in control matchups since warrior always floats mana after turn 6-7. kinda meh nerf. didnt see it as necessary, dont see it to be that crippling

well deserved nerf. can no longer play this + hero power or quickshot for unneccessarily large burst. it's still a great card

ultimately, i think this was a necessary change. it wasn't as bad pre-standard because vitality totem was usually a bad result. this card now purely belongs in wicked witchdoctor decks. its no longer really viable in aggro and possibly not midrange. its still useful to discount Thing From Below, but i dont think its a 2x auto-include anymore.
