LIVE, INSECT!
I think it might be the best sound in the game atm. Pretty awesome. Best part is the attack sound is him saying DIE, INSECT too so you get to hear both.

Yeah, I think the spell evolve isn't top notch. There are perhaps a few cheesy combos with it. But master of evolve is master of eww.
Do you use Sea Giant or Twilight Summoner in that deck?
I think I can made degenerate zoo deck with those card but its huge investment

I'm sticking with scumbag aggro Shaman to get as high as I can before the month ends, but next month I want to spend more time messing with the Evolve deck. As you said, the spell doesn't seem to be that great. Might try making a combination Totem/Evolve deck.

Maybe good for Egg Druid?

I feel bad for those who pre-ordered packs and got like one or two Legendaries. Me? I still haven't spent money on the game ever, and with my 13 bonus packs (and 10 bought through gold), I got 2 Legendaries and 1 Golden Legendary.
I say this because if I were you, I'd hate me.

I'm going to try this and all, but no Northshire, no ASPs, and only one Cabal--does it even feel like Priest when you play? ; )

there's only 28 cards in that list, but you don't play ASP at all in dragon priest. Dragon priest is more about tempo and controlling the board through your minions so ASP doesnt work all that well with it. Also 1 cabal since there isn't many cabal target anyways

Tried my first stream, and I've found it helps when thinking out loud. Helps yourself think better, if that makes sense.
or think at all. Gotta play fast!

Another Toast video highlighting interesting reactions from Shifter Zerus, Like how If Emperor reduces his cost, the cost is still reduced every time he transformers. Might be decent to have him in the deck..

I tuned in for a bit near the end. You did good, man. It's not easy to put yourself out there.
The main thing I've taken from the bigger Arena streamers is to take your time. This doesn't mean roping, just taking a bit to evaluate your plays. This is really hard for me personally, as I am inclined to rush. This applies double to drafting. There is no time limit on the draft, and after halfway or so it's more about filling gaps in your deck, or moving toward a certain archetype, than just following the tier list and picking the highest card.

I don't hate you. I hate Blizzard's shitty RNG programming. I bought 50 packs in Duelyst and got like 15 legendaries.

That makes sense though since you can run 3 Legendaries per deck right?

Hmmmmmm you got me thinking now. That is not a bad turn 6 or even turn 8 play (guarantee a summon) Two 6 mana 3/5's that could take a little damage and evolve to a 7 mana. Hmmm indeed. I was looking for something to replace volcanic drake and this may be a nice replacement.
if you can keep it alive, i could see it being a major card in it.

you know whats scary about evolve? it can be in any deck. so i guess against shaman have to just try to put out constant pressure and hope the board clears are unlucky

So here's my budget midrange Shaman deck. I am working on ways to make it less budget.
Ultimately Al'Akir is the main goal and Thing From Below is the easiest goal to achieve in the short term but who else would be worth picking up? Maybe a second Mana Tide? Eternal Sentinel or whatever it's called?

Even the rates of rares and such are higher. I'll get 2-3 epics every few packs. It's just a more generous system in general.
I want to play Rogue but I don't want to craft VanCleef/Xaril/Shadowcaster because I'm not totally sold on it yet.
Feels bad.
First time since this game came out that I couldn't play Rogue on the cheap

The wallet meta is real.

For real, like every single deck needs several epics and legendaries. I can't play a decent C'Thun deck because of no twin emps(yet), so I'm stuck playing slightly subpar decks.I want to play Rogue but I don't want to craft VanCleef/Xaril/Shadowcaster because I'm not totally sold on it yet.

FWIW Xaril shows up a lot in in the Journey card. Obv not as good as having it, but I've played it in a lot of my games. I also don't run Van Cleef in my current iteration (though I'm thinking about adding it back in). I've also found that Shadow Strike is really useful. It Preps to 0 mana, with Drake or Thalnos, it can easily knock out a big minion.

I haven't made him yet, but I think Xaril is still good. It gives Rogue the spare parts they would've loved in GvG. I'm not sold on Shadowcaster. VanCleef is kind of irreplaceable though, and I've had him since the Miracle Rogue heyday, I even dusted a duplicate at one point.
And yeah Shadow Strike I haven't played with yet, but I think the card is good if you can find space.
Right now I'm considering running Leeroy or perhaps a Sylvanas in place of Rafaam, Anub'arak might not be bad either if I had him. Elise, Cairne, or Illidan could also be viable options. Of course there's always Malygos as well if you want to put in a Sinister Strike or two.

Bro you got that pack like 12 hours ago!
Also, fuck, 3x Master of Evolution in my Shaman Arena draft? This'll be easy.

Evolve is so fun and has bailed me out so much.
Just evolved a 6 drop into a baron he'd on to win.

6-1 with my current version of c'thun paladin I listed earlier.
I just had a match vs priest where I had a 20/20 c'thun and played him on turn 10.

The one thing I've always disliked about Rogue though, and this could be considered a positive, is that it always feels very tactical and taxing on the brain to play. There's a much higher skill cap for playing Miracle Rogue than Zoo or whatever where you just plop down whatever fits the mana curve. Holding on to resources for big burst turns with auctioneers and the like. It's great to win, but Hearthstone is a game I usually approach as something that's supposed to be less intense than other games.
nah but seriously, if I ever need proof Ben Brode is incompetent at his job I can point to that card. It's not even overpowered, it;s just the worst of everything Hearthstone.

after 2 days of c'thun and aggro shaman, it's weird to think back and realize that patron meta was legit my favorite one

I wonder if people are gonna start trying to play Ancient Harbinger now that they're losing games because they didn't draw their big thing when they needed it. I mean mage can easily play it with frost nova and get a high chance of it working(or at least bait removal).
