Just lost to a hunter who headfaked me with a snake trap that he made look like a misdirect.

Outplayed like hell.

Tried Kibler's Shaman deck for a bit today. I don't think I've ever felt so self concious as a card player, lol.

Blizzard needs to figure out this card warping shit once and for all. its really not fun playing zoo and having it happen 4 turns in a row.

I should have saved gold, gonna be a struggle to keep up with the prices starting week 3 unless i get lucky with a lot of dominance quests. Or grind out a lot of wins per day.

I'm sitting on 2,500 dust right now.

I'm missing the following Legendary Cards:
Al'Akir
Edwin VanCleef
Millhouse Manastorm
Nat Pagle
Tinkmaster Overspark
Captain Greenskin
Elite Tauren Chieftan
Harrison Jones
Hogger
Illidan
Gruul
Nozdormu
Onyxia
Deathwing

So narrowing that list down, the 3 useful ones seem to be Al'Akir, VanCleef and Harrison Jones. And narrowing that down further, it seems that Al'Akir is probably the best to craft since every Shaman deck runs him. VanCleef works great in Miracle but who knows where Miracle will stand after Naxx is fully released? Also, there are other viable Rogue decks other than Miracle where there is, essentially, one Shaman deck. Harrison Jones is a contender but if I want to go ghetto, an Acidic Swamp Ooze has the same primary effect.

Shaman isn't my favorite class but I have the stupid win 5 Shaman Game quest in my backlog and I guess I'm just trying to convince myself to drop that dust on Al'Akir.

Meh, I think you could do without Al'akir but then again it is up to you. I wouldn't craft him as you could probably put together a budget deck to get your 5 wins if you stuck on that or just reroll the quest.

It's not just about the 5 win quest because I can always play Mage and finish it. It's just part of the justification I'm using to craft him.

I'd probably do Al'akir out of that list too. I want an ETC just for funsies, but I get not wanting to spend dust on him too.

Al'Akir is my next buy too. He looks to be the best in that list if you play shaman.

I don't like Al'akir in Shaman. A single doomhammer seems just as good for burst wins, and has more all around utility than Al'akir anyway.

Lock has the strongest Hero Power, its not even close.

As time goes on, and the cards become better. All hero powers besides locks will be terrible.
That hero power continues to rise every expansion while the other can only get worse.
Pretty much. Seems like they'll have to do something about it eventually.

Obviously the cards *will* get better as time goes on, it's just inevitable. Warlock will become more and more popular until eventually everyone is playing Warlock with different variations.

Someone help me build an interesting Shaman deck. I haven't played in months and I'm a bit rusty. I want to utilise Nerubian Egg and possibly Weblord to mess with Zoo. Just something interesting and a little different, but still competitive.

If there was ever a time to play Crusher Shaman or something close, that time is now.
Edit: Haha, nice timing. Any links?
