i've had preists steal grom/taskmaster. like wtf.

i've also had my own grom used against me twice while i never draw him.

Just today every priest seems to be getting fantastic cards from me.

I had a chance before he removed every totem with doomhammer... just for example.

so here are my stats so far today:
5 losses with shaman
2 losses with board control rogue
1 win, finally just now, with tempo rogue

I was rank 3 when I started today.

 

[partyphone]

oh boy strifecro cleaning up with aggro hunter

ladder is gonna be fun tonight

 

[Zemm]

I do miss Artosis when he isn't casting. Easily the best HS caster imo.

Worth it just for the "HAHAHAHA

" spam when he laughs.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I guess druid might be a good class to get back into atm.

I wanted to build an echoing ooze shaman board flooding deck with sea giant but that would be a bad idea if everyone is playing double unleash again. =

Like every shaman bot?

 

[partyphone]

Like every shaman bot?

I haven't seen one running ooze, though. 4 health and good synergy with flametongue seems like it would be good and I want to test it out.

 

[CoolOff]

This made me happy as someone who has pretty much all non-golden cards:

I just played one that used echoing ooze a few matches ago and it wasn't the first time either.

 

[Boogiepop]

Oh god, that was amazing! Dude summoned Leeroy when my Knife juggler was still down and the damage from the Whelps getting summoned killed poor Leeroy!

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Guy was forced to trade his Shade because of my taunted up minions.

Couldn't score a lethal with Force of Nature, Innervate double Roar.

The turn after I taunted up again and his single card in his hand to score a lethal which he topdecked, Druid of the Claw, couldn't get through.

Added me and this is the 'conversation':

All the Morton's right there.

Love your responses lol

[Borgnine]

I turn 1 coin double Leper Gnome, Shaman turn 2 double Earthshocks. I mean it's not even that big of a deal just what the fuck man.

 

[inky]

Did 4 arenas today and only once I got to 7 wins. They seriously need neutral anti-secret cards. Like, I'm playing Druid with no Swipes against a Mage with 5 fucking secrets. I mean, even if you correctly guess the secret or play around it doesn't matter against a class that just Flamestrikes you if you develop any kind of board. Dealing with 3 Water Elementals as a Druid is so fucking annoying as well.

Fix this shit Blizzard!

 

[Little Nemo]

Fuck, I am awful at Arena.

I seem to average between 0 and 2 wins these days.

I have a lot to learn.

I think regular arena play helps a lot. I've noticed my win percentage has decreased drastically now that I play arena so much more sporadically.

 

[Zemm]

Reynad is a lot better when he isn't trying to play his silly decks and is playing something more "traditional".

edit: and then he misses lethal? (went out the room for 1 min and missed it)

 

[ViviOggi]

That Faceless Brawl

I can't

 

[Zemm]

that brawl was awful. Even when Reynad wins he gets a bit emo.

[CoolOff]

So what's the best combined counter for this deathrattle Hunter and random Shamans? Some sort of Priest? Deathrattle?

Fuck your Leper Gnomes, imo?

My win rate vs shaman with undertaker priest is really really good. It's an easy win. Hunters more like 50%. If they get coin undertaker/leper gnome followed by mad scientist it's really hard to beat.

 

[CoolOff]

Wtf is this shit? He had Illidan and Loatheb on board, plays Sunfury and it taunts the freaking spawn?

 

[caesar]

Has anyone here ever lost after turn 1 coin innervate yeti? T e m p o b o y s

Why wouldn't it do that?
Edit: oh I see, pretty interesting

 

[Haunted]

Today was not a good day, lost 6 out of 7 games.

Goddamn fucking Shaman quest. I feel like I don't know how to play that deck anymore.

Double Lightning Bolt

Spoiler

pass on turn 3

I lost to a hunter yesterday when doing that because he played a freezing trap next turn and my yeti just had to sit there for like 3 turns.

Ah yeah, hunters.

That's why turn 2 spectral knight is the new hotness. Or turn 1 double innervate.

As someone who has been playing Shaman a lot lately, I can confirm that Priest is very good against them. I think I have a 20% winrate vs priest.

 

[ZealousD]

LOL. Against a priest in arena and his Mindgames whiffed. That had to sting.

 

[partyphone]

just in case you had leeroy!

Rogue uses Sap.

 

[Haly]

Rogue uses Sap.

I've done this a few times. Feels good.

 

[Kettch]

Yeah, Shaman has pretty uneven matchups from my experience. Terrible against Priest, bad against hunter. Bad against miracle/aggro rogue. Destroys freeze mage and control warrior, strong against Druid. The warlock matchups are all about what cards get drawn.

 

[Haunted]

Rogue uses Sap.

Rogue sapped my Earth Elemental.

Feels bad man.

 

[Special C]

I'm done drafting X/1s in Arena, just way too many mages.

Worgen infiltrator is still value.

 

[partyphone]

okay finally climbing steadily with shaman. i faced nothing but zoo, hunter and priest.

Worgen infiltrator is still value.

value for arcane missiles.

Do you all feel like this maybe one of the most diverse metas we've had so far in ladder? I've seen Warlock, Rogue, Shaman, Warrior, Priest and even Hunter has found its new post-nerf place.

Sure, the tournament scene has its clear favorites, but ladder seems pretty varied to me this season. Lots of strong options.

I feel that if you think the meta is diverse, you aren't at a high enough rank on ladder. It's about 50% hunters and warlocks with only a smattering of other classes at 5. It's definitely better than previous seasons but I still wouldn't call it diverse.

Hmm, still alot of hunters and fair amount of zoo. Every Shaman seems to be a sea giant bot. It's not bad but it still sucks to stray from priest when its such ez wins.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

The ladder isn't really that diverse right now. You'll either play deathrattle priest, hunter, or zoolock.

 

[Zemm]

I'm enjoying watching tournaments and streams more than I am playing. I think the last time I played was 2 weeks ago.

Zombie Sjow has joined Complexity. Good for him, one of my favourite streamers and hopefully this will mean he'll be at more tournaments.

 

[Xanathus]

So, I drafted this arena deck. 0-3 inc.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Firebat's new mill deck is pretty hilarious. Watching him play it right now. He says he's bringing it to blizzcon, that'd be pretty amazing if he actually did.

I'm 2-0 with this stupid deck so far. Beat a Zoolock with 2 HP left and beat what I think was a ramp Druid with about 16 HP left while we were both in fatigue. Super funny deck.

 

[Skux]

Ran into a wall of Undertaker Hunters at about rank 10. That deck is pure cancer.

 

[ViviOggi]

Sjow no

why u brawl

 

[Zemm]

Kitkatz lied.
