Blessing of Kings into Lorewalker Cho
My partner just played his Cho on turn 2, like what the fuck am i supposed to do with that dude.
We somehow still (barely) won, Priest and paladin have plenty of healing to eek out a win.

So after initially loving N'Zoth Rogue I started to struggle with it big time. Then I made a version with Reno Jackson and still struggled (1 of everything can be tough given Rogues removal tools). Banging my head against the wall and losing...a lot, I then decided to rework the deck and add C'Thun. I really was looking for a good Taunt option and nothing beats Twin Emp, that plus Crazed worshiper and Infested Tauren are my other taunts.
So now I got a N'Zoth, Cthun, Reno Rogue deck that has certainly stopped my losing streak, and all together is just way more fun to play. Especially when you can shadow step any of those back to your hand.
Edit: Have I mentioned how crazy Journey Below is? It has given me a legendary deathrattle nearly every time.

I loved the idea of journey below when it was revealed, but I haven't actually used it yet lol. I gotta fix that. Perhaps a n'zoth miracle rogue.
1-drops winning games, fun and interactive
At least that has never happened before so I don't blame Blizzard for making that mistake once

UT still reigns champion of broken cards ever introduced into the game. Even the original unleash the hounds, as cancerous as that was, was not undertaker.
I wouldn't complain if they nerfed tunnel trogg and/or mana wyrm's health to 2, but I'm don't think it's really necessary either.
Also, just opened the wrong 10 drop legendary... deathwing dragonlord, instead of n'zoth...

I have received Chillmaw, Xaril, Sylvanas, Deathwing Dragonlord, Cairne, and Anub'arak from it and at times I am literally picking between those. It is almost a better substitute for running a legendary deathrattle because it is sure to give you one and you pick the one that fits your situation.
Also don't sleep on undercity Huckster. It can yank class legendaries and high quality spells as well.

Huckster is a maybe. I'll probably try him out again because I very much want to like the card. Depends on how many deathrattles I put in, because he is close to last and might not be played over loot hoarder.
I had a Dragonlord sitting around and I made a Nzoth Dragon Priest.
It worked better than I thought it did. Won 3 games in a row at rank 9. Two win conditions in the game to close out games. Chillmaw MVP.
I got Ysera and Nefarian twice from Dragonlord LMAO! Concede was instant.

I kind of want to run a random illidan in my n'zoth rogue.
I've always wanted dragon paladin to work but can never get too far. I absolutely have lived the dream though of a free deathwing from dragonlord and it is phenomenonal.
Sylvanas, hex, and entomb have probably crushed more dreams than I've lived though.
In case people missed it, Google claims Hearthstone will work on Chromebooks.

I don't run the other Deathwing though.
That deck already has enough Hex/Poly targets that you can bait them out then Deathlord. That would result in a weaker Deathrattle but it will still bring out some smaller dragons and feed into your Nzoth.
I should consider lumping in N'zoth with that pally deck. Instead of going all in with deathrattle I opt for some more early game with some divine shield synergy. Turn 3 steward into turn 4 twilight drake can pretty pretty awesome. Usually the dream is crushed because the dragon decks are prone to slow starts.
Plus old deathwing is just too fun for me to keep out since I pulled him so long ago. Just an ultimate contingency plan.

God, this salty af n'zoth paladin keeps conceding vs me twice in a row now. I get slightly ahead, maybe steal his rag using sylvanas + shadowstrike, gadgetzan start comboing, this guy is out the door lol.
Got 2 sylvanas off journey below already though lol
edit:
Journey below score already
Sylvanas 3
Infested Tauren 1
Bloodmage Thalnos 1
Anubarak 1

I hate this game sometimes.... get a guy down to 7 health + 1 card in hand, ive 5 minions on the board and doomhammer. His last card 1 is only fooking Harrison Jones!!! draws 5 cards clears my board and im done.

N'zoth rogue is funny. I just beat a control priest, presumably n'zoth priest. He even managed to get anubarak off thoughtsteal minion. And I just sapped it. My two journey belows were majordomo (played and he entombed) and chillmaw (nice extra n'zoth value).
I thought I was gonna lose til I pulled off a miracle with gadgetzan, double coin, prep, sap... etc..
Life of a shaman where everyone knows your name... and by name I mean you deck, and then try to counter it.

I don't mind them having counters, but when they are down to one card / dead the next turn, i think its ok to feel a little bit jipped when that last card happens to be the only possible card for them to win the game.

It helps me to remember that:
1) They chose to put the card in their deck.
2) They had to draw it sometime.

N'zoth rogue is a ton of fun so far. This is my list, keep in mind that it's the first version.
Xaril and loot hoarder were off journey below, although xaril is in the deck list. He had a highmane on board... so I prep'd sapped it. Who needs a miracle from gadgetzan when god grants you a miracle. Hail N'zoth.

Third golden hero get! Even though the class kind of sucks at the moment I'm having a hard time pulling myself away from it, it's more difficult than ever to stabilize but if you do manage it you know your opponent has no hope of winning which is so satisfying.
what the decklist bro!

Been trying out a Rafaam warror. It's pretty good but not too different from tempo warror
Just need to figure out when to play sir finley

It started off as Kibler's shadowpriest deck but then I had to make a few replacements based on my collection and standard coming in so it's quite janky but very fun when it works. Since (almost) everything is a one of it's easy to tech things in and out as desired.
Reno Shadow Priest said:
If you are running a slower deck with Rafaam in it I don't know that you should even be playing Sir Finley. I don't really know what a "Rafaam warrior" is right now though, because he only shows up in Tempo as a tech against control.
There are loads of classes and decks that have good to decent matchups against Shaman. Doomsayer is not even that great at stopping Shaman.
I think people are running Doomsayer now because it just doesn't get silenced anymore. People just stopped running Owl, very few decks switched over to Spellbreaker, and card quality is so high in Shaman now that they aren't running Earth Shock even though it's arguably the best silence in the game.
At least before Mages had option to play Explosive Sheep, Priests could play Deathlords and Warriors could play Ghoul.
Now everyone just has to play the best anti aggro early game tool available to buy a turn to have a chance at the game.
Shaman can easily shut it down if they wanted to with more Shocks but why bother when they will follow up Doomsayer with Faceless anyway.
err doesn't this sound like terrible game losing play?
I most likely not gonna do this play
Example
If I pull this against Hunter, they most likely have enough to kill FF with just quickshot, and one up minion. I lose on the spot
yeahhhh this very terrible play and gonna lose me most of the time
Most control decks don't have much to play on turn 3-4 anyway so after Doomsayer they just hero power and Shaman player Faceless.
Midrange Hunter Doomsayer is quite an anomaly. Hard to day if its a fad or something legit.
Even if Faceless dies you don't lose on the spot. Shaman can get back in the game and even with that overload.

Doomsayer is a way to buy 7 health for 2 mana and drawing removal and you get first stab at an empty board again. I have seen people play it on an empty board just to force the other player to stall a turn. Also it is really valuable in paladin as their main draw card is cheaper for every minion that died and since doomsayer activates at the start of your turn....So yea it has plays outside of slowing aggro.

Maly rogue is fun but there is a decent learning curve. Seem to be getting the hang of it
It usually grows faster.
I didn't think so at first but when Mana Wyrm is getting buffed up there are rarely that many minions alongside it. Usually it's just Mirror Image.
With Trogg they can put down Totem Golem, Feral Spirits and Faceless... two of which overload by two. In addition to Doomhammer which also overloads for two. Shaman can play one card and buff Trogg up by two.
I think they are roughly about the same and have the "must remove" tag on them.
Tunnel Trogg is way stronger than Mana wyrm. Shaman is a board oriented class while mage isn't. You play minions it buffs tunnel trogg and snowball, hello undertaker. With Mana wyrm, you don't want to just burn spells to buff your mana wyrm for 1, spells are valuable, generally it's not worth it to waste a frostbolt to face to buff a mana wyrm. Trogg's downside is overload, which is not very relevant to aggro decks.
so after hitting 15 with reno cthun lock, I've been messing around with some decks and dropped back down to 18, and then I made a ramp druid with innervates, wild growths, 2x darnassus aspirant, 2x mire keeper, and nourish... and then I won like 4 in a row and am right back at rank 15 again.
I feel like chromaggus (and thistle tea by extension) are underrated cards... pulling multiples of a card out of your deck feels like cheating.
