It definitely weakens your turn five.
Your ideal turn four is likely to be the arugal/draw power play, but all the good five mana elementals need the elemental played last turn.
I think that alone weakens the deck significantly.

They did Shaman dirty with all the Elemental Mage support. Mages have been getting pretty consistent support for the Elemental deck in every expansion since Un'goro. Shaman on the other hand has been all over the place, with Elemental, Freeze, Evolve, and Totem. Evolve is pretty much dead in standard, Freeze and Totem are dead ends and downright terrible, and Elemental is kind of all over the place, and is slow as hell.
Bogshaper seems to hint that they're going to push Elemental again, but man Shaman is going to need some strong synergy cards to make it work. I don't see how Elemental Shaman comes anywhere close to Elemental Mage this expansion.
Doing my arena run to capitalize on the auto-retire exploit. What are the best Arena classes these days?
I do think Tess is not going to be all that powerful in most games. I think it will be too hard to keep up with the tempo of hearthstone while producing and playing random cards, especially in standard.
But don't care, she will be mine day one.

I still haven't gotten a single kobolds pack from the curren promotion.
I've opened 15 packs total and the 11 non witchwood ones have all been Un'Goro or Knights. I've opened a ton more kobolds packs than those two expansions so I wonder if it looks for anything like that. Seems unlikely, but also seems unlikely that out of the 11 packs I've been given, they all have a 33% chance to be kobolds and not a single one has been.
Not complaining though. My latest un'goro Pack had 2 Golden rares, an epic I didn't have and a legendary.

The fact that Bonfire is a Mage card and not a Shaman card blows my mind. I just don't get Blizzard's obsession with elemental Mage and their flat our refusal to support elemental Shaman.
I mean, it's not like Shaman has Kalimos or anything.

According to TrumpSC, 8 spells means 2,21 cards drawn by Book of Specters in average.
Is Paladin getting all the murloc support all over again :/
It pains me because shaman is my favorite class and also because you can see the potential elementals have in it
Arena is such trash. Start off 2-0 and then face two absolutely insane decks, Mage and Paladin. I don't know how people find this mode any fun at all.
Because it's a great card, not a gimmicky or niche one, going to a great class with great presence almost every expansion. Mage seems to find ways to make itself a threat each cycle going all the way back to the start of standard, and indeed back to the very beginning of Hearthstone. They've got some timeless cards. Where as other classes are on the sidelines, waving their hands going, "Hey, that would've been perfect in my rotation, it's got all the synergies I need to fix glaring issues!"
And because, of course, there's only so many new cards to go around.
(Don't think I can't recognize where your allegiance lies, KuroNeeko *cough* BlackCattotalbestbeastreleasedsofar *cough*)
It just reinforces the idea that Blizzard has no clue what they're doing with Shaman. The class actually got a somewhat decent core of elemental's in Un'Goro and then they did nothing to support it after the fact.
Instead it was freeze Shaman which was completely half-assed and will never see more support (not that I even want it to, that archetype was a terrible idea from the beginning). Then it was....whatever the hell Kobolds and Catacombs was which has so many bad Shaman cards that it's just outright unjustifiable.
That's almost what I said verbatim yesterday lol. I want to like arena but that mode really needs an overhaul.
Exodia pally has board clears, good defense, and a win condition...none of which a Tess rogue currently has...
Tess is not comparable with Lynessa and Yogg imo, it's way weaker.
With those cards, you were playing the spells or buffs anyway, they are just good cards in your deck. With Tess, you have to spend mana on a generator which could be a mediocre card and then spend mana on the generated cards which might also be really bad or useless. It's way slower even when playing good cards.
With Tess I feel you want minions more than spells. If there was a way to reliably get minions that would be the best way to use her.
Or death knight cards, most of these don't care about targets too much and they are very strong.

I'm not a proponent for Tess. The fact that she's costed at 8 means Blizzard thinks the effect isn't stronger than Yogg's imo, not that they are infallible.
So I guess Rank 20 is the first skill ceiling, huh? I'm running into some really good decks now.
Yeah there will be tons of meta decks and pseudo-meta decks from rank 20 on. It's not as competitive at those ranks as it used to be before the ladder changes, but you need to be running something with a win condition.
So basically Tess relies on how good Classless Rogue could be. At least it's not the only Rogue card that synergizes with non-rogue class cards.
I got a 5 day warning for my arena run when I signed in today, so Thursday it is.
You probably want to sit on a run at 2 losses for the rewards + free arena ticket.

The problem with win conditions is that I do not have the cards for them yet. I have to hope I can out-strat my opponents now until I get some better cards.
Can I fall below Rank 20? and when the next season starts, will I start at Rank 20?

You can't fall below 20 during the season but the season change can drop you below 20.
For the quests where you need wins with a class you don't have a deck for, you should do tavern brawls, especially when it's like this week and you don't need to make a deck.
You can't lose stars below rank 20 so you can never fall below that rank from losing matches. At the start of next season you'll move down 4 ranks, so if you were at rank 20 you'll be at rank 24 at the start of next season.
Have you posted what decks you are running with? I PM'd you my blizzard id if you want someone to spectate.
You get a free ticket if you don't finish your run and you get the rewards for the unfinished run?
"the arena run"?
Was there a freebie we all got? I didn't get one. :(
Thanks. I'll add you. I haven't posted my decks/cards yet.
And thanks to everyone for answering my qs.
I've used just the suggested Classic decks for a few seasons when I got bored and got to like 17~, but that was kind of a grind depending on the current meta. It's definitely possible, but everyone here is right. About this time is where you start pointing toward a firmer deck, while you continue to just learn all the classes.
Where would those be from, pax?
Seems like they are real.
The paladin one seems kind of crappy, shaman one is nutso. Wild jade shaman.

If that is real, you will have some awesomely dumb shennanigans on turn 10 if you have played Grumble before lol
And in Wild if you played a Yogg!!

I want to know what the interaction is between shudderwok and Gorgonzola.
If you don't have any battlecries that produce minions, and you gorgonzola this card, does it give you infinite shudderwok's from then on?
