Playing as Raptor Rogue since that was the closest to a Standard deck I had already. First game in Standard, facing Aggro Shaman that Evolves into Millhouse. I sap it. He plays it next turn which gives me the battle cry. Thistle Tea into Cold Blood. I play the Shadowcaster on my Azure. Play the new Azure, triple CB on the existing Azure, go face, Eviserate for 6. Felt good.

face shaman also still around, fucking no brain shit will never go away.

It's the best aggro deck in the game currently and aggro is never going away. It also completely punishes all the unrefined decks out there. Great time to be climbing the ladder.

Won a game solely because of Call of the Wild.

Crafted another and put one more copy in my deck.

You playing the Beast token deck? I want to try it out but didn't unpack any Infested Wolfs and not sure I want to waste dust on a rare I will likely unpack eventually.

Playing around with that deck and Infested Wolf is pretty damn good. Honestly better than King's Elekk in that deck even though you really need King's Elekk too.

So you guys, C'thun reno warlock is pretty good.

1 each of the c'thun buffs + reno and jaraxus basically guarantees you're gonna drop the fattest c'thun.

What are you playing for 2 drops. I struggled with what to use when messing around with deck creation yesterday.

Would you mind posting the deck you're using?

Yeah, I felt like there weren't any great options in the 2-drop slot. Elekk is probably the best but it's really only a vanilla 3/2 that 33% of the time cycles itself. Not great, but could be worse, I suppose. Haunted Creeper would be perfect in the deck, alas.
 
So something I'm trying out that I didn't think about before with Paladin.

Do you guys think cards like Twilight Drake and Faceless Shambler will work with Warden of Darkshire? You summon them as x/1s before they change their stats. Trying to test it out right now to see how it works.

Fake Edit: Just did it and it works with Faceless Shambler. Kind of a cool interaction.

Wow I got off really lucky compared to many people.

Golden Mukla
Mukla again
Princess Huhuran
Fandral
And then at least ten other golden common-epic

Fuck off. 53 packs and I only got Princess Huhuran as a legendary. Three goldens, and all of them common. I'm buried in Flamewreathed Faceless and Duskboars, though.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I am salty.

Warrior C'Thun deck sucks pretty bad so far, funny enough I didn't even lose to aggro, lost to control warrior and dragon priest, but gonna need a lot of tweaking to make the deck viable. Card draw is a real problem so far. Cool mechanic though and nice to have a lot of new pieces to play around with.

78 packs, 3 legendaries.

Mukla, Tyrant (lol)
N'Zoth (not bad)
Deathwing, Dragonlord (fun times ahead!)

Better RNG than my TGT packs, that's for sure! Now to find out if I can actually get into a standard game.

i think im gonna make a hybrid hunter that tops out w/ the call of the wild. Think that'll be the new face hunter. I want to make a nzoth midrange hunter deck w/ wolves. Not sure if the stalker is gonna be worth the slot, gonna switch that out w/ carrion grub into houndmaster combo

Been playing Zoo in Standard. This card is already insane, so easy to buff, snowballs so quickly. I love it:

Amazing synergie with Forbidden Ritual as well (summon 1/1 tentacles for each mana crystal).

Any Zoolocks got a good replacement for Implosion? Seems like Forbidden ritual is also pretty good (Knife juggler isn't going anywhere for a while lol)

Hes a good legendary though

lol that's true I guess, my pity meter also probly throbbing right now, hopefully those 10 extra packs will be fruitful
