I can't imagine it's consistent enough to hit tier 1 in this meta.
Current top win-rates are:
Shaman 55%
Hunter 54%
Paladin 53%
Rogue 51%
I guess that is evolve token shaman? It was a decent deck even before the nerfs and didn't rely on Hex.
I played a similar version with c'thun and some c'thun buff minions. With C'thun you have a second win condition. Hadronox also will be stronger because it will resummon dark arakkoa which are decent bodys. But i made some bad experience with naturalize. I see the potential between Hadronox and naturalize in one turn, but most of the time you cripple yourself with naturalize.
havent been playing much lately but wondering isn't it a good idea to dust my warleaders while I can get full value? Because now that all the good aggro decks got smashed a bit maybe I can use the dust for other stuff. Idk.... I know I made the mistake of keeping Yogg post-nerf and regreted not refunding him for full dust
(I can always recraft my beloved warleaders)

Always dust. Recraft later if you need to. But always dust.
Except for rares and Commons because really who cares. Unless golden.

I dust them anyway, because you might open new ones before you care to recraft.
I'm gonna be running this list once I hit rank 5:

I have a freshly crafted Hemet that's just raring to go.

This game kind of shows the power of keleseth, shadowstep, keleseth. I should have waited on pulling patches to get him as a 3/3 charge and to enable the charge on southsea, but still the power of this keleseth is insane. Turn 5 played a coldlight as a 4/4 with 2x swashburglars as 3/3s. Think about that for a second. 5 mana is normally a 5/6. I played 10/10 worth of stats and drew 4 cards that turn (they drew 2 from coldlight of course).

Is it highroll though? I win tons of games while never drawing it.
I'll admit shadowstep and keleseth on turn 2 is kinda highroll.
To be fair, sacrificing all other two drops means you are either playing aggressively with tons of 1-drops or hero powering turn two.
I'm guessing because Spreading Plague got nerfed, Hunter likes to go wide and that was probably the #1 card that killed them with all the Druids on ladder.

Hunter was played at HCT and in light of pwar and aggro druid nerfs they can actually compete against tempo decks better.
I've been running them over though, with rogue. Cause they run shit like bearshark which gets eaten up by shadowblade. I dunno, maybe my deck is just good against them. Going first is a big deal too. Last game I went second but my opponent missed his first drop. Wasn't good for him. No keleseth this time https://hsreplay.net/uploads/upload...rce=hdt&utm_medium=client&utm_campaign=replay
edit:
o lol he tried to get more value off his 1 drop, greedy

Jade druid still seems like a good deck. Haven't had time to play much so far. FWA nerf seems brtual as expected.
Going to dust my warleaders and craft a warlock DK
Hunter is popular bow because Asmodai got rank 1 legend with hunter

Drawing your strong legendary on curve is always a form of high rolling. But I just want to point out that I am winning a ton of games having never drawn keleseth at all. Those games I could have played a non-keleseth tempo rogue deck and perhaps perfromed even better because I would have access to eviscerate which is a powerful spell to skip out on in keleseth rogue.
Just played and beat and raza priest without drawing keleseth. https://hsreplay.net/replay/NWichb6QgPiDEgHxQcN3zk
yeah, that deck really doesn't need the prince to win. In the games I've played against, it was hardly a factor. Sure it helps but it's not like it adds 10 percent or something like that. The deck doesn't draw cards and the stat gain on most of their minions isn't a huge deal. So maybe they get like 5-6 minions at best with the buff if they play it on turn 2 before the game is over either way. They lose the board it's over. There is no comeback. Pretty sure shadow stepping it is 100 percent wrong and a big misplay that people often make.

I could probably go back and see the amount of times shadowstepping it failed for me. Granted, I am playing a deck different than others. And I haven't always chosen to shadowstep so it is certainly not the right play every time. You often want to keep shadowstep for leeroy or coldlight, at least in my deck. But, I think the times I have used shadowstep on keleseth, I think I have won almost all, if not all, of those games. Just had a game against raza priest where shadowstep was wonderful. 4/5 plague scientists. 7/6 naga corsair. 5/5 si7 agent. They don't have enough answers to that lol. 4/4 coldlight oracle, the dream. 3/3 patches

There is just way bigger highroll shit that keleseth tbh. Like raza priest is way more highroll deck than rogue. Like, you draw raza, kazakus, and anduin on your top half, you most likely win regardless of what happens.

join the hunt and flare those fools
unfortunately in wild priest is the only class i face on ladder it sux
this is a very good suggestion.
anyway, I've been having a ton of fun, lots of new things popping for me and I've had a lot of fun with priest. It isn't overpowered, imo, it's just sometimes very swingy.

You have enough dust to craft a Legendary but not 80 for two commons?
The adventures are now and always will be worth the price of admission if you are in the game for more than one class. Also they are some of the most fun thing to do in the game, IMO. Blizzard's production vlaes on those things continue to be amazing. Even the Icecrown thing we got for free was pretty good, I would say the adventures are like that but with more cards and more interesting encounters.
It's OK. It has some pretty unique mechanics in some matchups. Much more so than lich king stuff.

Oops, well that's news to me.

Been running into more Hunters lately. Stitched Tracker seems to be really good, and Bearshark+Houndmaster is nasty if you don't have a board.
well, take a good laugh, because no. they never go on sale. not even the wild adventures.
Blizzard is extremely adamant at putting things on sale, the last time I saw a promo was the ungoro pack promotion where they gave 30% in packs. I don't remember any more promos from them
The amount of times I get a Priest to 1 health and then they pull some insane bullshit to get back to 20+ life is infuriating. We killed Druid for this?
New dock/slide over plays nicely with iOS11. Doesn't disable Hearthstone anymore. Going into multitasking to control music does though.

as someone who's been playing quest mage I'be been getting absolutely demlished by hunters so far. That matchup is completely unwinnable flare or no flare.

Rogue might be in the most interesting spot it's been in for a long time, because there are several versions of keleseth rogue lists floating around. So far loving my own list. Recently cut black knight for a bonemare, seems like a safe change.
Has highlander priest always run Velen? I'm thinking of crafting Raza to make the deck but I won't have enough blizzard bucks to make Velen. He seems like a good finisher so it definitely seems sub optimal to skip him, just looking for people's thoughts as I need a good priest deck to play with going forward

There is still a cost to when you draw him without a board or early. I actually am not sure if I like bonemare included in my list tbh.
It's optimal, but I don't think it's necessary as there are a lot of end game value cards that could take that slot.
Elise, Lich King, Medivh/MC package, even Obsidian Statue would be decent.
