It's an awesome and insanely fun deck. Being able to drop two 5/5 taunts on turn five with a Tuskar as well is insane value. Also the evolve mechanic is awesome. Do some damage, evolve to a higher mana card, do more damage next turn and then evolve again. I have even withstood a 19/19 cthun 19 damage onslaught itch two minions on the board and lethal attack remaining and took no damage to the face.
Early on I was worried about cthun decks but players are spending so much time building to a turn ten tide turner that they are on their last legs facing a full board by the time that turn comes.
Don't tell blizzard, but I recently did the parrot quest and got 4 instead of 2
When I got my Murk Eye it gave me 22. I only actually got one though.

the loss of healbot just seems to cripple malyrogue. Like idk, unless someone comes up with a better list, just doesnt seem worth running
What happened? Viewbotting again?

Aggro Shaman working ok so far lol, no new cards in it but my opponents haven't been able to play big bad C'Thun yet
If the Cthun itself is hexed or polymorphed and killed doomcaller won't bring him back.
Has to be killed as Cthun itself.

I'm beating people with a lot better decks than me on low ranked EU. My favorite was playing a warrior to fatigue as priest and Mind Controlling his 16/16 C'thun.
Shadow Madness is proving very useful against C'Thun decks.

Ok here's my legendary haul from all the packs I opened:
2 Herald Volazj
Princess Huhuran
Fandral Staghelm
2 Boogeymonster (booo)
Yogg-Sason (yaaay!)
All in all quite good since Yogg-Saron was the legendary I wanted the most.
Now to craft all the missing cards I guess, takes a bit of the collecting impulse out of you when you have 12k dust lol.

I just had a game where I had 3 C'Thun's on my board at once
.
and still lost
No Vods, but here is a screenshot from my last game:
Here is the deck I'm running:
Is it that it converts all your lock cards even the ones in the deck it are you just limited to the ones in hand
yea i knew that, but I didn't know that it would still work for the other cards that use cthun as an activator. like twin emperors... it's pretty good to know.
All the cards. The 1 mana discount does work.

Does the "it" in Doomcaller's description refers to Doomcaller,or to C'thun?
screw C'Thun druid, I'm actually having more success with beasts, gotta out race the shaman. Savage Roar is a better win condition that C'Thun, zzzz.
the new buff draw a card is pretty decent, stranglethorn tiger is a decent minion, wildwalker can buff your cheaper beasts into mid range minions. It's quite good in meta, aggressive deck with substantial minions and burst damage wrecks all these slow bad decks.

is it good...?
Maybe?
A Priest just entombed my Axe Flinger.
Edit: He forbiden Shaplinged a Rag Light Lord. He also had Soulpriest up, hit his face for 8.
He won in the end, my hand was nothing but cursed blades and Tentacles for Arms. Got him down to 5HP.

That looks like fun. might have to give this a go. Like the zaniness in this old gods set. Lots of RNG in some of them, but it's too fun seeing the possible outcomes.
Just play against a Rogue. Played Renounce Darkness turn 1, so it turns into a weird mirror match. The Rogue finishes me off with a Jaraxxus he got from Undercity Huckster.
Edit: Was a warlock until turn 6, became a hunter. If this card is competitive at all, it would be in some weird handlock, where you get a sizeable hand then play it.

Is it? Standard isn't even 24 hours old
this guy just evolved his Rag into Blade of C'Thun lolololol.
I went and played to finish my rogue quest since I got nothing from my packs for rogue, well there is a single huckster, I'm not using my dust yet. It was wild like before. It's like a mode for people that didn't get any new cards lol, it's poor man's ladder lol.
The new menus look really pretty though, better than standard.

i think im gonna go w/ a tempo style maly rogue. Combining raptor rogue w/ a malygos finisher. I think that may work well

Mind Controlling a 21/21 C'Thun against a 60 health warrior felt pretty good.

I did have a look at your list. I'm not sure why you wouldn't run either gadgetzan or auctioneer in it.
I did like shadowcaster, although I don't think it was moving me towards a win enough, at least in terms of big strategy. This was before I decided to go the malygos route. But I felt like coldbloods weren't making enough dent, I needed more reach and therefore decided that malygos was the best answer there. I cut the cards that weren't working towards that single strategy (huckster, violet teacher, defender of argus) and replaced them with cards that would work and fit that strategy (shiv, tomb pillager, emperor thaurisan). After that I started winning consistently. And even when I don't draw malygos, I can often accrue enough burn to make it happen, especially against some of these decks that haven't been putting out much pressure.
I think I'll keep trying a more minion based miracle deck, but I kinda feel like it requires a big combo text card like oil rogue which produces 9 damage itself when you get the full value out of it. For cold blood to hit that, you need to get 2 strikes off it.

3 win streak with C'Thun Shadow Priest. :-D Last one against Aggro Shaman.

I cut auctioneer b/c I just felt it was too slow especially w/ no healbot. I adjusted my deck again and now I don't think auctioneer is worth putting in now. Plus I was thinking shadowcaster would be enough of a replacement to auctioneer in terms of cycle without having to use spells with auctioneer. Also I like the flexibility that shadowcaster gives in the sense that you can use it on almost any minion in your deck.
tldr: I want to use shadowcaster so I cut auctioneer was pretty much it. My reasoning may be off on why though
This is what I'm thinking of running/modifying right now. It allows for more of a tempo style rogue w/ cycle and heal into malygos finisher. Kind of how you were trying minion based miracle. I just feel with the nerf to bf and the removal of healbot, rogue needs more board presence to finish with the combo.
I just started playing today. But I am confused. I thought I was supposed to receive 3 new packs from the latest exapnsion? When I logged on I did the mandatory tutorial and then I went to unlock all the heroes
After I purchased a card pack, it finally gave me the 3 cards (2 Beckoner of Evil & 1 C'Thun). Is this what they meant by 3 new card packs?

I'm not too happy with what I got. I don't think most of those will be useful, specially for the kind of decks I use to play.
