I just had a win that made me feel actually dirty. Running a druid, I face a warlock with a pretty good deck, he overwhelms all my minions in the first 8 turns and floods the deck with lowly imps of all types and a dreadsteed (which he frequently abused for demon heal thing, power overwhelming etc), wears me down to 6 or so hitpoints. I use a swipe and wraths to clear the deck. Next turn he wears me down to 5 and changes to Lord Jarlalxusl. I drop a core hound + mark of the wild.

He goes power overwhelming on the dreadsteed again, drops the infernal but can't finish it so my core sits there at 11/1.

I core hound him to 4, then starfire.

And the worst part is I had another core hound + MOTW to repeat that trick if he had somehow gotten it down.

You should never feel dirty if you can get both core hound and MotW to fuel you to victory. You should feel accomplished.

It's really loose reasoning. 2 things bring me to the conclusion. They keep emphasizing early Decemeber for launch, when I think if the plan was the 13-15th they would use mid. The other is just the release schedule of cards. They don't like to have too much time between the point when all the cards have been revealed and the launch, and they don't have 3 weeks of stuff left really. Especially because they normally do a big drop at the end

Like I said, it's pretty loose. Just my random thoughts

Some games you just lose. Warlock, turn 3 coin Barnes > Y'shaarj > Y'shaarj turn renounce darkness into priest, Resurect pulls the 1/1 Y'shaarj that died (which comes back as a 10/10) and summons Confessor Paletress out as well as another random shit minion. After turn 4 he has something like 35/35 stats on the board.

Yep, I just got meme'd

That looks like complete trash. Though i guess if you play some jade golems it's okay. Just my immediate reaction.

I think all that stuff is going to turn out to be fairly decent. I mean it's a 3/6 taunt, that at absolute worst summons a 1/1, but by that point is more likely a 2/2 or 3/3, if not bigger. So if you get 6/9 worth of stats on 2 bodies, 1 of which has taunt, on 6 mana? Feels pretty good. Nevermind if it's super late game and you top deck that thing and get a taunt plus something like a 10/10?

Stuff is definitely going to take experimenting, but I think the Druid deck will work.

I really like the Jade stuff. It's just a different variation of C'Thun with a lot more variety and a focus on slowly building an irresistible force instead of a one turn ending. Individually, most cards are pretty inferior but getting a minion on top of that(an increasingly better minion per time), makes all the cards pretty damn solid. I was going a different direction at first, but now, a Jade golem deck is definitely one of the first I build. I can't wait to build aggro pally, dragon priest, and probably druid Jade decks now. That's pretty handy since I need to get all 3 to golden.

The druid jade mechanic is looking scary to me, by the time you drop that taunt your golem is going to be at least somewhat substantial most likely. Of course who knows how things will really shake out once this shit gets to a live environment.

Hmm. You can combo that new shaman card with Everyfin is Awesome... four 3/3 murlocs for 7 mana, assuming no other murlocs on board.

I don't know if you'd make your deck more clunky by adding a bad card when you're gonna get jade golem summons out of the ass with the cycling 1mana spell thing. It seems it'd be better to use strong minions to buy you time to get there, rather than janky shit that will win you more when you're already winning but perform like garbage if you aren't. Like the legendary I can see cause it's 2 golems on its own, but other than that I think as Druid at least you probably just want to stick to the 1mana spell and possibly the ramp spell. That's really all you need with lots of card draws and removal to secure your lategame, so to get there you want the best of the best of the stalling minions.

This is my thought exactly, too, but I've been proven wrong before.

The taunt guy is weak and you don't need more than the Jade Idol.

The taunt guy is better if you save for a really late turn where you can Taunt+gain a 10/10 golem, but even in that scenario you can just load in an AoW and cast a Jade Idol for a 5/10 with Taunt and a 10/10.

So yea, I can't see this guy being too great. Weakens the consistency of the deck.

Anyfin will be rotating out soon though. Neptulon rotating out is why you never see shaman murloc now.

dude... nothing rotating out until Spring 2017.

And Neptulon isn't why Shaman dont run Murloc.
Shaman don't have the juice to keep murlocs coming, unlike Warlock.
Paladin only works cause they dont need to fill their deck with murlocs.

This card might allow murlocs to work in Shaman since 4 card commitment to get 12/12 stats 2x for 7 mana each time. Low commitment but lots of stats.
