Up to 12 @ 30 wins today. I probably shouldn't have screwed around with Priest (given what I was facing), but sometimes you need to switch it up. Plus I was a couple of games from 2x golden SSC.

I don't understand people's need to farm constructed for 100g a day in really shitty ways. Congrats, you got a pack for free. Get good at Arena and you'll get far more than that, for far less trouble.

So, question about Shaman gameplay. You've got a lightning bolt, stormforged axe, and unbound elemental in your hand in the first couple rounds. Use the overload spells to kill some of their first minions, or wait until you can play the unbound elemental?

It's really a judgement call based on how much damage you're taking and what you'll be able to do if you overload. I mean, waiting for the Unbound is a good call, but at the same time if the instant you play it it dies it didn't do you any good and you're way behind.

yeah that call is going to depend on the deck you're up against... rushy decks are going to spit out minions faster than you can clean them up if you wait on the ele, you gotta start taking out what you can while you're not overwhelmed, and on the plus side, once you do get the elemental out, they will likely ignore it and keep going for the face, and then while you're removing your ele is going to get nigh unstoppable.

Against a slower deck, sure waiting is fine.

Never feel like you need to hold those cards back, the unbound elemental's 2/4 stats pay for itself and can usually draw removal from your opponent; any +1/1's you get are just bonus, not necessary to make the card pay for itself.

It depends. Like vs Priests if they don't have the coin or have used it, I try and get my UEs in the 4 range before they hit 4 mana and in the 3 range before they hit 6 (Cabal Shadow Priests). I don't mind them getting eliminated by SW:p, but getting the thing taken away from me is bad. If I have the coin a really strong play is turn 2 UE, turn 3 Feral. Protects the UE and makes him bigger.

If I am facing rush I want to develop my board. But if there is a big threat like a Knife Juggler up, I'll Axe that down ASAP. Just depends on the board, your hand, and what type of deck you think you're facing.

So I rearranged my mage deck tonight and finally started winning! I went like 3 for 4 upon changing things up. I was going too big and gimmicky it seemed. People would get me down to 10-12HP before I could get going and that was too late.

Here is my new loadout. What do you think?

I would start with something like this as a base (all basics) and then sub in your commons/rares.

From your list, Goldshire footman, voodoo doctor, silverback, tauren warrior, and booty bay are pretty bad. Sorc Apprentice, Farseer, and Defender of Argus are good, Blizzard is ok but I'd probably rather use a second Flamestrike instead.

I agree with all of the above but would sub in 2 Faerie Dragons over those 2 Bloodfen Raptors. Play with it a few times. Then allow yourself a few subbed in cards. Play a few. Sub a few. Etc. 'Find' the deck. (imho, but I suck)

Faerie Dragons aren't basic.

Evidence or just ranting?
I personally got hit with the endless turn one. When they are almost dead they use something to make their turn infinite until you just quit or time out. This happened Friday night twice and Saturday three times to me.

I would say its a bug but with the people always taunting and it always happening near the end when its a for sure loss = exploit. I havent looked at ownedcore or the blizz hack sites, gonna check it out.
