Not sure I'd craft Ysera right now. Seems like you can get by pretty well with just Netherspite Historians.

I try to bait out hex with sylvanus and earth elementals, and it's not so bad if if they hex one of the two with Faceless Manipulator. Plus you get the benefit of control shaman being good against midrange shaman in general, and you don't see that many other control shamans.
The biggest weakness is waiting to assemble the combo, which can be hard against jade golem and pirate warrior decks.

Okay so you guys joke about rogue but once the reno lock and reno priest overlords come knocking on your doors, you're going to want a deck that can hard counter it. And maybe that is rogue 
I also think the reno decks will rise above the pirate scum. They're the top meta decks imo.
Btw, this is my first shot at making a renolock deck:

I've played 30 something games of hunter today, it's pretty good I think, people are sleeping on it.
zipgunner card is actually pretty decent, I had some funny lethal puzzles with it and rhino. I like the deck quite a bit, it's like a token deck now. I think rat pack just one copy is enough, it's a bit slow. You can't count on the buff to hit it and there are so many 3 drops you'd want to play already.
zipgunner and trogg are the only buff cards worth playing. The secret is horrible, 2/2 buff is worth less than 2 mana, secrets are supposed to be undercosted. The 1 mana card is really low value and has no place in hunter either.
The interaction of direwolf and kodo is really handy and with hyena you can end game incredibly fast. Against classes like druid or priest that need specific cards to answer for a 2 drop it's insane.

Lmao, too late. It's still early though, so hopefully things change.
Anyway, yeah I'm definitely considering Patches since I see how strong Pirate Warrior is right now.

The one mana card could be good in some aggro face hunter deck, but definitely not enough value for midrange hunter.
The biggest problem with hunter right now is how boring it is. Feels very similar to the previous beast hunter.

I played a Pirate Warrior who didn't have Patches in his deck. lol

But then you could have 3 Ysera's :-D
That has happened to me a ridiculous amount of times.
I was just about to do that but was like "nah, this is embarrassing, let me just craft it"

Ysera seems really popular among the reno priest decks. It's a dragon to enable their drakonid operative +historian. Every streamer I've seen playing reno priest is running it.

fuckin' called it, man
Turn 10 combo I've been doing with Dragon Priest is Brann-Netherspite Historian- Drakonid Operative for a sweet +1. Let's the Drakonid go off if you didn't have the dragon beforehand
Ideally you discover two big ass dragons and get some good shit from the opponents deck.
Netherspite is great since I don't have to have any big dragons in my deck and I don't really feel the need to craft any. Can just pick a big one and let it sit in my hand and let the rest of the deck work

Finally ran into my first pirate warrior in ranked with my renolock deck. My toxic swamp ooze tech carried. I got ERF and apothecary to trigger with brann on board. Was pretty exciting for a short game. https://hsreplay.net/replay/LYnieZtk3LJATF3KD5JLDA

Only place i post my bnet name is here, so I'm guessing the guy who added me to tell me about his dick is a gaffer.
I also figure the guy cyber stalking me on twitch to tell me to kill myself is from here. No one hates me the way the bullies here hate me.

It's not necessarily a member. This forum can be viewed by anyone, right?
Wait, so about a week or so back when you told me to "grow up" it's because you thought I was one of the people harassing you?
I think I'm just going to go ahead and craft Kazakus, since I got Inkmaster Solia from my initial packs. Unfortunately, I'm still missing some of the good mage cards like arcane blast, cabalist tome and Antonidas.
Still, I think Kazakus is kind of a good choice for crafting.

True.
No, you were joking about starting a riot because of a late reveal. I responded in kind.
Your response confused me more than anything, lol
I think I'm funnier than I really am.
I made an anti-aggro priest and faced nothing but greedy control decks and went 2-10, lost three ranks. Fuck this, I'm playing cwar.

Renolock is probably the most fun deck I've played out of MSG. I haven't played a ton of different rogue decks yet.
I've lost to 1 aggro shaman who got RNG by the balls and it was my first game with it. I mean, he ignored my 2/2 to roll spellpower a turn later. Then on the last turn he top decked bolt and rolled spellpower to double bolt my face and swing with the last charge of his weapon. I probably won if he didn't get the spellpower totem, would have saved me 4 health.
Otherwise, undefeated. I've even teched to counter the dirty rat. One guy actually pulled my jaraxxus out of hand on turn 2. I used it to remove minions and then bounced it back to hand. The game didn't go that long. I got brann kazakus off and he conceded after I cleared his board once (he was paladin).

So if they're changing the kazakus spells could we get full dust refund on it or no since it's not making the card worse

If? Have they said they are?
No refund for "bug fixes".

How good Rhino turned out to be? With the Buffs + Alley Cat I imagine he is nuts, but haven't played much with the deck so far.

On some level, it's sort of amazing that Blizzard "nerfed" midrange shaman by making an aggro deck that outraces it

Yeah they are changing the interactions of the spells.
And no, no refund on bug fixes.

What am I missing about it though? I only played the deck once but he popped out turn one, I got one damage from him and that's it pretty much. Are there better synergies that can happen?

Ah, there it is lol
Even the worst case scenario is 1-2 HP off your opponent and one less card in your deck for when you are fishing for lethal topdecks. It's draw a card and play it, do 1 damage to your opponent. As a side effect from your usual strategy.

Ok gang up on patches is actually fucking genius.
Decided to do an arena run for a change. Since Warlock seems to be the rage I picked it. Even got Kazakus but also two duplicates. Went 0-3. Two games where I went second and one where I didn't get the answers that I needed.
I don't think I'm going to play Hearthstone for a week or two.

I find this post strange cause I like your posts. Man hug
Kazakus is good fun. I thought about crafting Inkmaster but so far my deck is doing pretty good without her.
main reason I crafted that little guy.
He really is not necessary. He is really damn good, but the deck is amazing without him. I think Leeroy is the only required legendary in the deck IMO, budget plays would do fine without Patches.

Stick to what you love man.
If I had Brawls I would play Control Warrior.
I also really, really like the Renolock archetype right now, but there are so many options on how to make the deck (especially in Wild) that I'm overwhelmed with possibilities.
Brann Kakazus sounds so hot. I'm struggling to resist crafting Kakazus: each game I play, and each post in this thread makes that harder, but I don't want to give in to the hype.
That matchmaking!
It's a weird moment when you're relieved to see an opponent play Aggro Shaman.
Thanks!
What I love is winning, lol. Cwar wasn't getting it done so I'm seeing what this Jade druid nonsense is all about.

Even wild is filled with pirate warrior and I really don't enjoy the whole make your deck beat that one deck. I like making a well rounded deck that has a good sometimes great matchup across the board

Need to find a more balanced deck... I have good matches against RenoLock, Buffadin, Jade Druid and Rogue... but i lose every single game against Pirate Warrior, since i dont have a single taunt or heal...
