Just crafted Archmage Antonidas!
My suggestion for MC would be to increase his mana cost. 8 mana...maybe 7 seems more appropriate. It's just ridiculous to have have such a strong card on turn 6 especially when every pally I play follows it up with Dr. Boom on turn 7. Really limits the decks I can play on ladder.
My combo priest. I find it weird that there aren't really any legendaries I want to run. I'd run emperor but the actual combo itself is already so cheap unless I have like velens velens spirit fire.

it runs 4 1-drops, deathlords and pyros so I feel it has a pretty good matchup against board shitting aggro decks. It's also able to deal with a moderate number of large threats easily. The key is knowing which decks you can extend into IMO, and when to do it.
I feel like throwing in a dark cultist or 2 might be a good idea but i'm not sure what to cut for it. getting some additional consistency on 3 is useful, particularly in the more aggressive matchups, it's possible you could run a shade instead but I don't feel like I'd need the buff target as much as an immediate presence on board.
I also wish I could run a bit more hard removal, a second death would be great.

I remember back when BRM came out I was trying to make Dragon Paladin work and was in a scenario where I had a discounted Ysera at 7 mana and still played boom instead, lol.
I think making him a legendary would destroy the deck since even with divine favor, you don't really want to be using it before he drops as you'll dig up all the secrets before seeing him a lot of the time. His statline is the bigger issue. He lost one point of HP for that insane effect.
The biggest powerplay involving him involves already having a board presence so he can't be ignored, but if they just play him naked you can easily just faceroll and negate basically everything if he needs to trade. The brawl variant is ultra bullshit as you can pretty much guarantee presence with minibot into muster into shredder into loatheb before he drops.

Blizzard considers shaman a joke class, think about it. Also fuck Mysterious Challenger blizzard what the fuck, that card is the best card in the game when played on turn 6, i don't think any other card has so many benefits when played on curve.

I think he only missed one day of streaming over the whole Elegiggle debacle. Watched him yesterday. Had a pretty solid zoo that he was crushing ladder with.
decklist pls.
How good are the Maldives?

And all he has to do is sell out to G2A and cast the tournament from a closet.
Seems like Blizzard considers playing spells a turn early at the cost of not being able to play spells the next turn really, really strong. Perhaps one day evidence will show this to be true.

Not as good as effigy.

Really? I got my win with Face Hunter against a greedy deck on the second try and didn't play the Brawl again.
Zero sex?
A super greedy deck is extremely effective in this Brawl. Getting guaranteed Zombie Chow turn 1 is a pretty big deal.
Also I have discovered in decks like these that Armored Warhorse and Fel Reaver are really strong. Control the board with Chow plus premium 2/3 drops, then Armored Warhorse and Fel Reaver to transition into face. The rest of the deck is filled with extra high cost minions including Giants.
Only issue I have is against Paladins because well... Paladins are pretty damn broken in this Brawl.
The face Hunter deck allready did that

Yup, that's Mech Mage for you. If they get the god-like opener and you don't have an immediate answer -- and even if you do, sometimes -- there's nothing you can really do.
the cringe is too strong.

Effigy is so much fun. Play Antoinidas, get two fireballs, end turn. Kills my Antoinidas, turns into Velen, instant concede
That seems like a little too good, combo that with thunder bluff, you have for 7+2 mana something that is way way stronger than muster+QM combo for 8 as each of those totems actually do something too.
Of course the main design rule of the game is that shaman can't have something that is better than paladin so this card or similar to it isn't going to be printed ever

While this is true, this card isn't as independently strong as a card like Muster. Getting two totems for 2 mana is not particularly strong, That's about as good as a naked Echoing Ooze, if not a little worse. Outside of totem synergy the only purpose I see is that you could summon two spell power totems to squeak out some extra damage to win the game on that turn. So you basically have to hold onto the card until you can get some synergy with it, like Thunder Bluff Valiant or Dranaei Totemcarver.
Quick question, as I'm suddenly having a random problem with Hearthstone FPS.
On my PC, I run Hearthstone on a 27-inch G-sync monitor. I have the game windowed on one side of the screen. It's always run at a flawless 144hz. Suddenly, if I'm clicked into the Hearthstone window, the FPS drops down to 24 fps and stays there, no matter what I do. The moment I click away from the window, the FPS jumps back up to 144. What the hell is going on here, nothing I've done, including reinstalling the game, has fixed the issue, and it randomly started for no reason.

Welp, this might be one of the shortest runs of a tavern brawl yet. It's too broken. I can't even complete my daily for destroying minions because people concede as soon as they see Uther going first. >_>
Mad props to whoever can figure out a stronger deck than the Christmas Tree Brawl variant.

I enjoyed this one a lot less than Radio Kappa 9, but that one was god tier so I think it was impossible for this one to not disappoint at least a little bit.

Blizzard should just hire me at this point, cause I'm so freaking good at this.
To clarify, you would only summon the basic hero power totems with this, nothing crazy like Mana Tide Totem or Totem Golem.
It wouldn't be ran. It just is a terrible card on its own.
Nobody has figured out a consistent use for him yet. If you're not a completionist that wants to get every legendary or you're desperate for cards, I would dust him. He's like a soft counter to Freeze Mage, at best....
I think something like Malygos Shaman could run it for the free +2 spell damage, and you could lava shock for 4 damage afterwards to unlock the crystals. Spawning 2 taunt totems is also kind of like spawning an annoytron. Or if you are ahead and making trades, throwing in a healing totem when you need it is pretty good. I think it's below average for what's run in constructed now without totem synergy but in a totem deck it solves several problems.
I will take the monthly 400+ dust all day every day.
You mean all month every month.
Yeah. It annoying seeing so many people hit Legend for the first time and then finding out they played secret paladin. I had to get Legend with mid-range paladin back in the day and it was a grind.
Yeah I'm playing a shitty paladin on my free to play account without MC, but because of minibot, muster, murloc knight and a few random spells thrown in I can roflstomp plenty of decks.
Paladin has been Shaman shit tier for a long time so it's about time they get tier 1/2. Of course now it's Rogue and Shaman's turn to get buffed.
