Has Thing From Below not taught us anything blizzard!?

Secrets and totems are very different animals. Even without the totem-tagged minions, just hero power on shaman is a brain dead Thing activator. This could see some serious play in the right deck, especially in wild, but I'm not sure its on the Thing level of broken.

It doesn't have taunt, it's going to be tough to squeeze in tbh.

Origin · Nov 17, 2016

Fuck this fucking game.

It's either goddamn RNG faggotry or it's retarded faggots playing faggot imbalanced decks.

elidib · Nov 17, 2016

That. was an amazing game.

Ravishing · Nov 17, 2016

Fuck yea. On my 5th & final Brawl run and 10-2 atm. First 4 rounds I was playing N'Zoth warrior but the meta shifted away from Shaman/Hunter and my 4th run I went 1-3. Switched it to my home brew N'Zoth Shaman for the final run and got a guaranteed Golden Legendary... Still playing, am streaming the final game(s) on twitch.

Ravishing · Nov 17, 2016

And it's over at 10.

Golden Tirion

Final tally for 5 runs:

6-3 N'Zoth Warrior
5-3 N'Zoth Warrior
4-3 N'Zoth Warrior
1-3 N'Zoth Warrior
10-3 N'Zoth Shaman
----
26-15 (41 matches): 63.4% win rate

Spent 5,000 Gold

Acquired:
36 packs
Golden Tirion
~1,200 Gold
~1,200 Dust

Practically break even except for the Tirion reward, however these packs are obviously less desirable than the new expansion coming up. Still worth. I have 8k dust now which will be enough to craft 5 Legendaries.

Ravishing · Nov 18, 2016

bitches want me to spend more gold. Fuck.

Like, why? Would someone play that over a normal ooze? Body is a bit bigger but so is cost, and it's not big enough that it matters, while normal ooze can destroy every weapons, especially annoying 3charge ones like feral claw.

elidib · Nov 18, 2016

Foreshadowing a nerf to regular ooze and harrison quite possibly.

Can just see Brode saying, "guys we wanted weapons to be more impactful, and cards like ooze and harrison were just limiting our design space."

Ravishing · Nov 18, 2016

Well it's a common so they probably know it's shit.
This design is stupid. we already have a 1 drop with the same text. There arnt enough weapon users to make it even OK.

Caal · Nov 18, 2016

Oh baby.

Ravishing · Nov 18, 2016

wow. I assume the text means "for the rest of this game".
That's crazy, I hope using Justicar AFTER this doesn't revert the battlecry.

Pretty cheap too at 5 mana.

Pyros · Nov 18, 2016

I thought this looked OP as shit, but then noticed it's priest. Still, that's pretty dope. Blizzard finetuned balancing trying to make Priest the new Shaman?

Ravishing · Nov 18, 2016

Priest won't become Shaman.

Shaman is stupid because of how much board flood, overpowering threats, and stupidly cheap value cards.
Priest will still only play 1-2 threats at a time and their cards are still 1 for 1 cards for the most part.
Shaman has a 1 mana weapon that is OP and can 1 for 3
They have Thing, a 5/5 with Taunt for 0 mana
Thunderbluff which makes your totems get insane value

Priest wish they had any of that.

Arena. Note it's common.

That's about it, other than mages being fucking broken, weapons are the highest value tempo plays you can make. The same paladin deck with truesilver vs. one without can be the difference in an arena win. Obviously more chances at weapon removal is better than leaving it as is with trying to score a lucky ooze, since the 1 mana 1/2 pirate is a horrible arena pick.

The priest legendary is great other than priest being the weakest of the Reno variants. The dont have a ton of redundancy like mage or the draw power of warlock.

slippery · Nov 18, 2016

Yeah, Priest isn't huge on Reno decks atm. Why Reno when you can already heal? That's an interesting option though, especially since you can (theoretically) drop it on turn 5. I really hope it doesn't get broken by Justicar though.

Ravishing · Nov 18, 2016

The comments by Amaz (whom released this) and on the Reddit thread make me believe it won't get broken by changing hero powers.
This card opens up Reno-Shadow-Priest again which was actually a legit deck for a couple weeks before Old Gods.
There's a lot of things you can do when you have 12 mana every turn instead of 10.

Also, yea, that Ooze card is definitely designed for Arena. It'll get picked up often there. I think that's smart of the devs to recognize some of the failings of Arena and address it in this type of manner. Doesn't fuck up Standard at all but will severely help Arena.

Fuck Thunderbluff with a kodos dick. Worst card NA.

Going on an assrape streak starting from around rank 10. Win like 10 in a row. 0 shamans faced. Playing N'Zoth rogue. First shaman i face: Trogg into Golem into Coin+Wolves into Flametongue Totem. I'm at like 13 health on turn 4. I just conceded. I mean... lol.

Bring on the priest meta!
