The meta seems to settling into: Odd Hunter > Shudderwock > Armor Warrior > Odd Hunter

And odd hunter is only maybe 60/40 on shudderwock, while shudderwock is pretty much 100/0 on armor warrior and armor warrior is in turn 100/0 on odd hunter.

Basically shudderwock is far and away the best deck and it kills all other slow decks but it is pretty expensive and the games take forever. Odd hunter is cheap to craft and the only good deck against shudderwock but still far from an easy match up. Being cheap, most decks on the ladder will be odd hunter, which means there will always be a place for armor warrior to get tons of free wins even if going up against a shaman is auto lose.

After playing these three and only these three so far, that's what it seems like to me.

Sometimes it's hard to push through on the Shaman as Face Hunter when there's so much healing/removal/Saronite Chain Gang

I'm trying to make a lady in White deck so far I've only played 2 games the last one was a shaman who was trying to set up shudderwock but after playing hagatha seemed to be swimming in cards but couldn't answer my eventual overstated minions. (Pulled LiW 8th card from bottom)

I'm sure it would have been nasty.

That's an absurd legendary rate. I ended up with 4 legs in 100 packs and I wasn't thrilled. Thankfully I have more than enough dust to craft whatever I want and then some, but still... more is always better.

What are you basing this on? I haven't seen a single armor warrior in like 25~ matches.

Ive been playing odd dragon priest... wooh too easy. drop velen and the 1 mana blasts as a finisher. rank 5 is not too far with this deck.

I ended up crafting Baku as I only needed that card to start...facing...the new meta

Lady in white priest deck is still the goal until I see if I'm crafting grumble and epics to match my jabberwock

Beyond shudderwock, I love how consistent shaman became in this expansion, I purposedly leave wock out of my elemental deck (will add him later tho) and the deck still works wonders!

I think Toast is about to cause an emergency maintenance sooner than later. If everyone tries to mimic him, game is fucked lol.

No idea if they're gonna be good, but I'm gonna go ahead and craft Baku and Greymane. I enjoy deck building restrictions.

They were the only two cards I wanted and got neither of them lol. Got all the legendaries for the four classes I don't really play anymore. Had a feeling that would happen.

It feels like there is a decent chance a piece of the Shudderwock combo is nerfed before I get home from work to even open my packs.

Not a great haul:
Duskfallen Aviana (free legendary)
Shudderwock (YAY)
Glinda Crowskin (meh)
Blackhowl Gunspire (lolz)
Dollmaster Dorian (maybe interesting - glad I got it)
Genn Greymane (good)
Countess Ashmore (good)

That's with 128 packs. So you get 1 legendary in 10 packs, plus the free one, so I got 5 legendaries in 118 packs. I suppose that's not too bad. I need to craft Baku, Godfrey, Hagatha, and maybe Azalina Soulthief for Deckthief Druid.

18 epics. Aren't those 1 in 5 packs? So significantly below the expected value.

The combo is not realy a problem. It is a descent combo Deck, they need to fix the animations and how the combo resolves. The deck is easy beatable with aggro and midrange decks. Against other Control Decks it Will Win very often.

If they nerf something than is changing grumbles battlecry to an non battlecry effect the best Option.

Shudderwock makes the game unplayable if you're up against it. Such trash.

Where did Brode say he warned Blizzard about it before release? Because I have serious concerns about their playtesting if they didn't catch this.

Limit battlecry triggers to 10 or something.

With double bc that wouldnt change nothing, Even a limit to 5 would change nearly nothing.

This is no cubelock or something else. You Need many pieces to go off with the combo.

The only thing that realy needs to change are the animations. Would anything be resolved instant, i swear, no one would complain

Free Legendary:

Lady in White

104 Packs:

Houndmaster Shaw
Shudderwock
Glinda Crowskin
Lord Godfrey
GOOOOOOOLDEN Blackhowl Gunspire
Genn Greymane
Azalina Soulthief
Baku the Mooneater

Dodged the Druid Legendaries really well, so can't complain. But I still want a bunch of them: Tess, Arugula, Hagatha, Countess Ashmore, Darius, Glass Knight, Chameleos. Hagatha and Arugula are my priorities though.
