Yea. I almost think it would be more balanced if it requires a death rattle to summon destroyed death rattle minions. Much like death wing needs to be destroyed to summon destroyed dragons. If they were to that maybe N'Zoth would need a better body to increase chances of staying around. Because it just dropping on the board and returning death rattle cards like Slyvanis immediately back is insane.
Also screw Slyvanis.

I heard someone else say Stranghelm, N'Zoth and Ragnaros. I think it was Sjow or Savjz.
What do yoou think guys, should I play this 30 legendaries deck? I only have to craft 3 of them, lol
Edit: Aw crap Feugen, Stalagg, and Loatheb are banned, not sure if i can make this work in standard..

Yeah Ragnaros pretty good too especially now that a Control Paladin list is about to be solidified. It was always a great fit in Control Paladin, was just a question of whether it was worth using it.
Kinda have to play that new Pagle too just because it's a 2 drop.

No place for new Nat?
I actually have new Nat. Wasn't sure if the drawback was worth it. As a Paladin you can always hero power on Turn 2

You can still get murk eye from monkey in standard? Seems weird.
For those divine pally decks, should you not play steward on turn 3? Opponent always seems to kill it ASAP. 
Also has anyone tried this control pally yet? Kind of want to make it since I made a n'zoth but ended up taking him out of my hunter deck.

How argument is that RNG should be happening in late game instead of early game.

This is the current Hunter deck I am running; 8-2 at rank 9 in the current meta (I fell from rank 5 to rank 10 trying to make Priest work, lol :-/).

This is why I think people shouldn't freak out too much about the meta. I've only had one person actually make it to turn 10 against me.
Hyena won me a game at 12/7, IIRC. With the number of 1/1 tokens this deck can generate, it's smart to have snakes, spiders, or hounds on the board, drop the Hyena, and then boost him up. Huge tempo play. I might even run 2 Snake Traps, but I only have 1 and don't want to burn 400 dust on another.

So has anyone made a fun Y'Shaarj deck yet? It seems like such a goofy card but I have no idea how I'd actually get a deck to work with him. Astral Communion, Y'Shaarj and a bunch of 10 mana minions?

Still yet to see an N'Zoth or Y'Shaarj card/deck. I've seen Yogg-Saron a couple of times now and I ain't even mad (yet) when I lose to it, it's so damn mental.

I've actually thought about running him in my Control Shaman list, which has:
Earth Elemental x2
Fire Elemental x2
Flamewrathed Faceless x2
Ragnaros the Firelord
Hallazeal the Ascended
Ysera
Aside from 2 Mana Tide Totems, those are ALL the minions in my deck. I've usually played a Fire Elemental or Earth Elemental or two by turn 10, so I'm thinking Y'Shaarj could be pulling Ragnaros or Ysera, and how many decks can deal with a 10/10 AND one of those in one turn?
Astral Communion Druid
Things are obviously bad if he grabs Forbidden Ancient or Novice Engineer, but otherwise this should do the trick.
Seriously dude, this is the easiest time to ladder, check this nice deck
Thanks for this. The reminder that basic is sometimes best. After a salty losing streak for 3 games, I used this (with Rhonin subbed in for Antonidas) and cleaned up against a C'Thun Druid at rank 9, of all decks.
Less fun than Yogg, but definitely packs more guaranteed end-game punch.

Right now nothing feels as good as beating one of these evolve shaman decks.
"oh i'm just gonna play a bunch of garbage cards, do some trade, lul evolve heals my guys"
sorry pal, equality + wild pyro and forbidden healing to ruin your day
Current iteration with some tech choices in there to stop whats currently going on in the ladder. Getting either cairne or chillmaw as my next legendary, but not sure what to replace (probably a divine strength). Wishing for a better 2 drop, but flame juggle good, the 3 health what I like. Replaced solem vigil with drake. one less card but a body. I might even change it to lay on hands just for the draw

Yeah, I've been trying it. Messed with some different versions and have this now.
The original Deathwing would be an autoinclude here but I don't have one.
You could almost do the same with Hunter, not as many as Mage but pretty close I think.
Where are you watching it?
Hit single digit ranks! First two week of this month I got to 10, but then I dropped all the way back down to 16, was at 15 when Old Gods launched, and except for the day I tried to make Priest work I've been slowly climbing ever since.
Getting rank 9 is my version of hitting Legend. I don't think I have the patience for Legend or even rank 5. Oh well.

No worries, glad its working for you.

It's not easy, that's for sure.
I'm surprised, too, but I never thought it would be so easy to get to round 10 consistently without playing a defensive/control deck.
Shifting Shade is the only Priest class card worth getting this set, and even that is situational. The class got absolute garbage, so don't feel bad for your draws.
Feel bad when you get slaughtered over and over in ranked.
Don't forget that everyone banned Freeze Mage!
I disagree, I still think it's a balanced card.
I didn't see what happened, but with a play like that, you drop your hand in a class with severely nerfed draw, silence and burst, and almost no good removal options, in a game where card advantage is very important. It's also not even a permanent mana advantage and is a completely dead card in top deck situations.
This turn 5 destruction moments are actually a heck more common in Zoo and Shaman nowadays.

Terrible use of Entomb in most cases.

What happens if you entomb your opponents C'thun?
Oh maaaaan...just had a hilarious game vs. a Nzoth rogue. He played 3 undercity hucksters(discovered one of them), revived them all later, and basically played a barrage of secrets and the new pally card that discovers a minion and gives it +1/+1.
I built up a board and didn't think he could do anything about it...suddenly Deathwing. Thankfully nzoth is a single board repopulator...
This deck is so damn good.

Pretty sure it turns into a 6/6.
He kan keep buffing it further but it'll stay a 6/6 in your possession.

It's gone from your opponent, and ends up in your deck as a 6/6. Any remaining buffs your opponent plays won't buff it and doom caller can't recall it because it wasn't destroyed. To the posters point entombing a 6/6 10 mana card isn't great. Mind control would be better or just shadow killing it. But destroying it will allow doom caller to serve its purpose.

Damn, I was hoping your opponents cards would continue buffing it.

if you played any cthun synergy cards, the cthun you entomb will have those stats, otherwise it's a 6/6. Cthun buffs are saved to the player and not cthun itself
Man-is-Obsolete

Interesting. So if you are a cthun priest guess that works. Still you have to survive the cthun first and have that card at the ready I suppose. Some of these cthun decks can kill you before cthun even happens if the right order of cards are drawn.
With how much taunt is happening now I would say black knight.

Holy shit is tempo mage strong. I was just playing a n'zoth paladin and I managed to get both flamewaker and frostcaller on board while freezing him and his only minion. I slowly snowballed the hell out of him. Cabalist tome, and then another cabalist tome. I went from having like 3 cards to a full hand of spells. After my second cabalist's tome my hand looked like this (yes, cabalist's tome off cabalist's tome)..
Then he aldor'd my mana wyrm and healed himself to full with forbidden healing. After that I just nuked him and took him down from full hp. MIrror image + polymorph boar + frost bolt + fireball (top decked), and I didn't even have to use all my minions to take him out.

Right now i cairne is off my list, between the other 2 it's hard, I usually dont have an issue with taunts as a paladin (as other classes I do) but every time I n'zoth deck for any class I just want more deathrattles, and a big deathrattle taunt is nice

How good cabalist's tome is makes me sad for how bad thistle tea is. I think thistle tea even at 5 mana would likely not be as good as cabalist's tome.
I would change thistle tea to draw a random spell and copy it twice. Then it would probably be playable even at 6 mana because you can build some strategy around it.
Perhaps the same for all card buffs while in hand mechanics. Which means in gvg it can transform into bolvar, gain a ton of attack, and then transform into leeroy jenkins.

Cairne if you want to play that cancerous N'Zoth Paladin as it seems to be the only good control deck for the foreseeable future. TBK is pretty good right now but not a must. I's never Chillmaw if you ask me.
