Geddon isn't essential. It's good, but not a must. I actually flip between black knight and geddon depending on what i'm facing.
Most legendaries aren't required for the deck outside of grom and to a lesser extent alexstrasza.

I know that. I was mainly wondering how integral Harrison is considered. Since if I get Grom now, I won't have Harrison for awhile. And Harrison can serve to strengthen my Druid and Paladin decks. Issue with him is he's meta-dependent, albeit still a decent 5-drop in matches where the opponent doesn't have weapons.
Harrison is good, but the 5 slot is super crowded, and he's useless against half the classes, so he's not vital, and never has been.
If you have Alexstraza, Ragnaros, and Dr Boom I'd go for Grom. You can play Paladin and Druid without Harrison easily.

I wonder if violet teacher would work well with shaman... I think it merits consideration. Lots of cheap spells, flametongue totem synergy, could be helpful for board dominance.

I believe Token Shaman was a real thing back in beta or early release. I forget what else went with it.

Well I mean now of course, now that they have a few more spells to their lists.
edit:
I'm not sure if it is good enough. But hell, maybe a totem build with totemic might and blood lust would be crazy good. Prob not though lol
Do you always get a pack as a reward in Arena mode? Regardless of how you do? I have 380 gold and was thinking of how to spend it. Two decks and 1 arena run?
edit. I should say, I haven't spent any real money yet. So I have relatively basic decks with a few good cards in there. I like playing as Priest, Mage, Rogue, Druid, and Paladin. I guess Priest would be my 'main' ATM. I could also craft a common card or two if I broke some stuff down

Even if you don't win a single game you're guaranteed one GvG pack and a secondary reward of gold, arcane dust or a random common card.

You get one pack and one small random reward at 0 wins, and it goes up from there.

It annoys me that 2 wins is often pretty much the same as 0 wins.

Ugh. Nothing is working out today. Dropped to rank 6, almost rank 7. Something like 12 lost games without any gains, only a stray win here or there. Really frustrating as I was hoping to progress about one rank a day at 5+.

I managed a 100% winrate today in ranked, but I only played 5 matches. I must have gotten your luck (even opened toshley afterwards then started messing around in control priest).
But on a serious note, when I have a bad day, I do some tweaks and hit the ladder the next day. Gonna start the 4->legend run tomorrow perhaps.

I cannot watch anyone stream Hunter, it's just way too boring

TBH I think I have worse luck when playing on iPad vs. PC. Weird how it is.
And I'm teching in Kezan Mystic, fuck da police. Too much Mage cancer on ladder.
Might try and rank with oil rogue, but I find it to be very stressful to play compared to other decks, even if it is strong.

Yeah, I took out a Piloted Shredder for a Mystic in my Druid deck. That and Mind Control Tech have saved me a couple of times against Hunters and Mech Mages.

Dr. Boom. It's not even a question.
That doesn't make sense.
lol, I am losing way more now that I have naxx cards. I guess having new shiny cards thrown me off balance.
Urgh, in the end I'm still missing way too much common cards from both the classical set and GvG. Which I completely expect to fill little by little doing the daillies and get my one pack a day, still is frustrating seeing deck lists and lacking more than half of the stuff.

Just got my first 12 win arena.
Turns out 4 truesilver champions + 2 muster for battles are pretty good. Only loss was to a druid with all those high health/damage taunt minions that isn't exactly fun to hit with your face.
It was also nice to have 2 avenges, 1 consecration, and 1 blessing of kings, but the deck was standard other than that. Truesilver was the hero here. I'm lucky heartharena was dead at the time and i was left on my own, or I might have listed to their dumb "you don't want too many truesilvers" advice. That's 16 health + 32 damage right there.

they should change fel cannon's text to "at the end of your turn, deal 2 damage to a friendly tinkertown technician"

Constructed. Turn 2 coin into double innervate into dr boom.
It is a decent play.
Well you had 1/3 chance of getting huffer.

Welp, maybe I just needed some sleep. Went from the depths of not even being able to lose more stars at rank 20 to rank 14 without losing a match.
I'm using an even lower budget version of this: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/193024-dynxsty-control-priest-lowbudget-highrank-high

?I play Control Warrior without Harrison. I use TBK instead.
Yeah it depends on the Meta, Im not running geddon or TBK right now, running Harrison, but I change it from time to time.
None of the 3 are a requirement but having the 3 is a nice bonus for metagaming purposes.

On a weird note, I played a Rogue yesterday that ran Doomsayer as an anti-Mirror Image mech Mage tech. It was cute.
And yeah I did get Grom. Control Warrior is a bit too slow on tempo though right now I think, after playing it a handful of games yesterday. Even without Geddon and Harrison, I actually have more legendaries I want to slot in than can actually fit.
Supposedly weaker this week, but I think Paladin might actually be strong in the current meta. Only thing I don't really have is a second Lay on Hands for the uber-control version. I guess Harrison as well.
