Interesting...man, never enough dust to go around...thanks for responding!
You still hunting Priests?
The miracle deck with conceal is good and a real meta deck right now, it was very popular in the tournament this weekend with very good results. Malygos deck is the second one but even superjj that always played it favors the conceal/coldblood one and brought that instead. All of these decks have exactly 0 hucksters in them.
I'm not a fan of Twilight Summoner, but I found Shadowcasters to be pretty good. They are slow, but rogue has a lot of tools to delay a game.
Oh yeah, that rush deck was spectacular against Anduin. Weak against Shamans and Warriors.
That Vendetta is gonna cost you on the ladder, Ahab. Hope to see you online. >; )

I swear everytime I play flamewreathed faceless it is almost immediately dealt with. Which I guess is ok as it forced removal.
Also the Control Paladin has to be one of the most frustrating things to play against. Oh that's nice that you dropped a flamewreathed faceless, it now has 1 attack. Or I will just play equality and consecration/that minion that deals one damage to everything when a spell is cast to clear you out.
If you can't tell I have had terrible luck with top decks, but maybe I am just doing something wrong in choosing the cards I hold onto. Just have to roll with it I guess, its a deck and there will be times where the cards I need are in the bottom and there is nothing I can do about it.
IDGAF about the ladder, I'll never hit legend or even Rank 5 but I will do my utmost to stomp every Priest.

Is Midrange Shaman workable without Tunnel Trogg or am I boned until I get him? Any comparable 1 drops?
Yeah, I'm the same. lol
If you're on NA, I'm at candyFrog#1327 if you want some grudge matches.
I like Rogue, but they usually stomp my Priest.

It's necessary, but you only need 700g for the first adventure. You'll have it in a week.

Always been the case. I've been getting a lot of mirrors tonight, Rogue seems to be catching on. They're the best mirror matches, all about trying to outfox the other guy and use your cool stuff.

You can still buff it if it gets turned into a sheep. So without testing that makes sense to me.
if the hex dies you can get cthun back
the problem in that match was that he tried to play the doomcaller when the frog was still on the board so cthun technically hadn't died yet
the funy part was that he had verbalized that. played the doomcaller, then forgot that he made that point

I'm almost 100% sure you can't get it back because it operates under the same conditions as Feugen and Stalagg. Anyone who pays attention to mechanics esoterica and had been playing since Naxx would've intuited this.
Example: https://youtu.be/LJrtNi6r_OU?t=59
Where C'thun actually breaks from established mechanics is the fact that things that trigger off of C'thun's power or affect C'thun's power continue to work even if the player no longer possesses a C'thun card in any of their "zones", and if they somehow get another C'thun into their deck, like from Entomb for example, it will adopt their C'thun stats counter and not start a "fresh cycle", as it were. I found a thread on B.net that apparently confirmed this via Ben Brode. The C'thun stats counter is a player attribute and is separate from C'thun, the card.
You are my opposite. The slow ass boring Cthun decks are dull as hell. Miracle Rogue being back is awesome. Zoo is manageable as always and the new OP deck Shaman isn't nearly as annoying as Secret Pally.
I actually hope C'Thun decks die a fast death, it's so dull and I think I'm allergic to the cultists.
No, that won't work because C'Thun in fact is NOT in the graveyard when it's transformed, it's just out of the game.

Anyone who had really playing since Naxx would know Blizzard make shit up in this regard.
Mechanics are anything but intuitive and change all the time.
I didn't say it was intuitive, I said you would've intuited this outcome if you had a rough idea of how the game handles "transform" and "death flags".
For the very reason that Blizzard likes to play it very loose with wording and animation feedback, you can't trust what animations you see on the board or the text you read on the cards, only what you can understand about the engine.

Doomcaller is pretty clear, even if it isn't readily apparent, that cthun does not get added to your deck unless it has already died. When you transform a minion, it doesn't die, hence deathrattles don't trigger. Where ever you consider the card to be, graveyard etc.., it hasn't died, therefore not dead.
Only if healing totem is summoned after Baron Geddon, right?
I guess so. It heals itself from 0 hp which is just dumb.

I never understood transform to be honest. Silence doesn't return to base status, they don't die, they are removed from game somewhere,...
It's just too obtuse for my taste w/o testing out extensively and/or looking it up.

Imp master kills itself and comes back to life too.
But for better examples, you only need to look at explosive sheep and the current mess with killing imp gang boss...or try to explain what does and doesn't work on Jaraxxus
Yup love it as well. Card bailed me out again against a C'thun priest. There is very little drawback to putting Yogg in Tempo Mage, and it just sometimes turns a 100% loss into a win.
"Why do I have to plan around good cards my opponent might play? This is oppressive."
Good card triggers me.
If you think Healing Totem is some exception to the rule, it isn't. Death Processing does not occur after every single action that effects the game state. If you have simultaneous death and healing/buff effects occur within the same phase, any minion at or below zero health can be saved. Cards like Dark Cultist or Anubisath Sentinel could do the same thing.
there are entertaining c'thun deck(s) out there
I understand the complaints about druid c'thun but I have fun playing it. I don't feel as dirty as running zoo or shaman.
Fun is subjective.
That's why we had some fun things with Kel'Thuzad resurrecting himself after getting killed by Rag. I guess Blizzard fixed that "bug" though, right?
