I dunno why people ever doubted the potential of Trueheart in Control Warrior. 2 mana gain 4 armor every turn is ridiculous, she generates value until the game is over.

Trying to make the Valkyr twins work.
So far i've tried mech priest, but think i'm moving onto paladin now.

Does it work with brewmasters too?

I don't see why not. As long the deathrattle isn't activated, you don't lose your crystal.

I keep disconnecting after every match or two when I search for a new one =/
Going through my Epic pulls I got a lot of dead weight. 2x Spelleater, 2x that Rogue Weapon, 2x Shadowform, 2x Wee Spellsomething or other. No taunt dragons makes me sad. Gonna have to craft those.
Enough for a legendary easily if I disenchant them all. Still, 16 cards for 1... =S Meh, I'll probably never play them anyways.

quoting cause i still don't know. Heeeeeelp meeeeeee
Justicar with warrior is completely broken.
Hell even patron warrior will play this to buy themselves more time. It's hilarious they thought this is ok to put in. Play justicar, just tank up from there, shieldmaiden even, here is Varian. well played. You can armor so much, most decks can't ever kill you, not even patron otk will be enough.
Of course, I don't expect this to be ever fixed. It should be just 3 armor like hunter gains 3 damage. x2 everything isn't going to work here. So I'm not sure is there any way to counter it, unlike healing that has counters like alex, armor is just completely without drawback. The game is going to need something that damages through armor if Justicar is going to remain like it is. It is a problem now with Druid too, it's not just warrior. It makes sense to methat there has to be a drawback to armor vs health.

Only played like 3 matches with it but if you play a lot of control Warrior I think she's going to be a staple.
She might be good in Priest as well but I haven't tried it quite yet. Maybe Druid as well.
I would wait until we know more about which decks are good and which are bad before crafting any legendaries. But that's just me.

I've only played with The Mistcaller so far out of those. Personally I think he's pretty good but I wouldn't label him a must craft. Solid legendary but it won't be an auto-include in Shaman decks by any means.

Here's the silly Totem deck I'm using, I feel like I'm winning around 6/10 games, I wonder what I can do to make it better.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I would just wait. Lots of experimenting gonna happen in the next few weeks.
I mean, if you can afford it, go for the ones that fit the classes you might play.

lol I remember everyone shitting on this card
I don't think it's broken though. I've been playing it in Control Warrior and it's good, but there are many situations where you can't afford to spend a turn casting it because you need to do more urgent things. Shieldmaiden is still better in a lot of situations. I've been running 1/1 of Shieldmaiden/Justicar.
I played a bunch of Arena today. TGT seems to have shaken things up a lot. Whether the cards are great or not, you at least have to pick them pretty often.
- I've seen very little Joust, and Jousts rarely pay off. A lot of this is that almost all Arena decks have a bunch of cheap creatures. You're extremely likely to tie.
- Inspire is everywhere and it's game-winning. Inspire effects that improve your board position can get out of control pretty quickly. Silver Hand Regent is strong. Murloc Knight can be incredible. Lots of people are running the Windfury Inspire creature but it's not very impressive.
- Dilution of the card pool means less reliable removal, aoe, and healing. I think this hits Mages particularly hard. Paladins seem to have gotten some really nice new toys, especially Seal of Champions. Another weapon is always nice too. Warhorse Trainer can be strong if you've got some means of making lots of recruits (like Silver Hand Regent).

Yeah I can imagine. In constructed it seems kinda weak so far tbh.

Any suggestions? Last card is Varian. Might remove Harrison for Ragnaros or Geddon.
Come on at the guys saying Justicar is broken.
The card is fine as a side grade to Shieldmaiden. In certain match ups Justicar is better in others Shieldmaiden is better. Also is meta dependent.
Right now everyone is playing weird decks and games are running longer runner than before which means Justicar will accrue more value over time but once people go back to running their aggressive decks then people will see that Justicar is just fine, not broken.
Remember that after you play Justicar you have to use the hero power more than 3 times for it to be better than Shield Maiden. If a game runs to ten turns max then Justicar really didn't do much over Shield Maiden.

I've only played vs a couple of Warriors who had Justicar. One of them got 40 Shield on top of his 30 HP and I still beat them once they ran out of steam.
That was control vs control tho, and that shit always works out like that. I haven't encountered them on other situations, but I don't think it's gonna be broken. Warriors used to get insane amounts of armor before and it didn't matter. Most of the time you shouldn't care unless you lose your win conditions before they do.

I got bash off burgle and it helped me take out some shitty patron warrior player. Some of these trashy patron players just throw away their win conditions (it was a frothing hiding behind a taunt).
Oh man, the sheer satisfaction of Eydis.
I just made a fucking deck of like 25 priest cards and a few neutrals like Eydis. Turn 3 she comes out. Turn 4 she gets a PWS, Divine Spirit, and Inner Fire. I send her in to face. "CHAOS!!!" GREAT battle cry. I laughed so hard. Fucked the warrior up good.

Coin>Fallen Hero is probably one of the better opens in Arena now. But Mage got hit hard by the broader card pool
