White Eyes is legit but not OP at all like Tuskar, Spirit claws or thing from below. It won't define any deck or meta alone.

People are still running fire elemental?
No, but it could give you the 5/5 which death rattles the 10/10 in your deck which is already a really good outcome.

I can already taste the salt when priest discovers the 10/10 from your deck.
Discovers two and Entombs your own.
Speaking of the 5 mana dragon priest card,I think it it's so good ,it might get played in control priest as well.
Of course they would have to play a few more dragons than usual, but that's not all that hard.
When playing against control they have all the time in the world anime to set up the card properly anyway.

Would be cool if Fight Promoter could proc off itself when being buffed in hand. Would increase the chance to actually get the battlecry off considerably. Whatcha think about running Mistress of Mixtures? Used to run Zombie Chow in my Midrange Pally deck in Wild, but the Mistress looks great against aggro and has an extra upside of healing urself too.
Also, whatcha think about running Brann? U got a lot of battlecries in that deck.

I'm still waiting for neutrals to theorycraft and even then theorycrafting control is pointless since you have to tune it to the meta. I'm currently looking at 2 mistress of mixtures, Wickerflame and 1 dirty rat to add to the deck.
It has never been bad ever.

Not bad but it's a complete miss with Barnes, excluding Harrison tech the worst you can hit is either totem golem or tunnel trogg the former counts as a totem summons even and can benefit from Kodo and the latter poses a significant threat still.

all of these are good or great hits.
- tunnel trogg
- thalnos
- flametongue
- mana tide
- azure drake
- TBV
- Ragnaros
I was surprised at first as well but Midrange Shaman is the best Barnes deck.
Trogg and drake aren't that great, TBV only if you have enough mana left,but often you want to play Barnes on curve.
Also, Barnes is much better in hunter since the only bad target is houndmaster and they have crazy high rolls like Highmane and Huntress.

Coined out a tomb pillager turn 3 and didn't get to attack with it until turn 8 because of freezing trap, won with 1 HP. Feels good but fuck freezing trap
that's why I said good to great. Trogg is about equal to hitting secret keeper, Drake is spell damage which is almost always relevant for shaman. You often want Barnes on curve but when you do you don't expect a high roll.
Secret Hunter is probably still better though, forgot they play so few minions but does secret hunter even play houndmaster? In a houndmaster hunter there's a bunch of bad rolls additionally

Nah he's right Barnes is total garbage in Midrange Shaman that's why only 50% of the Midrange Shaman lists in Dreamhack Winter 2016 had Barnes, these tourney players know nothing /s

Can't seem to break the level 9 Wild barrier. Too many random freeze mage matchups. I can win if I can get the jump on them, but it's hard if they get doomslayer off.

aside from Secret hunter I have a hard time imagining a more optimal build than mid shaman for Barnes. Even the Ysharj druids at Dreamhack included a bunch of complete whiffs if pulled. I removed 4 minions from Malygos rogue theorycrafting MalyRogue and there's still Azure Drakes to hit.
when I tried barnes in paladin I always got Aldor Peacekeeper.

Are you making fun of Levi or is this a meme and I've missed the memo?

So is Arena just eternally fucked as we are about to get another big card dump?
When people from this thread are following me around on Twitch chat telling me to kill myself, the rest of you are gonna have to step up your cyber-bullying game if you want to get a reaction out of me here on GAF.

Shit had probably my best match against control warrior yet just now. I was playing control warrior and I added a single redemption to it and replaced ivory knight with enter the colosseum and both ended up very relevant. I even had both forbidden healing in hand and still had NZoth when he died to fatigue.
I've never played CW but I still know the deck in and out so I waited and played around everything. Didn't play my Tirion until I wore down his armor to the point he couldn't sylvanas and shieldslam it in a single turn also played redemption and he completely played into it. He Harrison'd my 3 durability ashbringer which put him way ahead in fatigue and from there all I had to was wait it out till he either brawled or played his monkey.
I'm playing 2 truesilvers and a Rallying Blade and was thinking about adding a violet illusionist.

Brann is definitely a card I may run.
Mistress of mixtures too. Depends on how many 1 drops I want to run really and how much card draw. Might run it over the 0/2 eggs since they're good to go right away.
Monthly reminder that secret paladin (wild) is the most insane shit even today.
Agreed. But my c'thun rogue is actually 10-0 this season in wild
I think I got lucky and dodged all secret paladins.
in 50+ games on each beast druid and midrange shaman I had 75%~ win rate with both. So not much more insane, if at all.

Shamans that draw both hex in the top half of their deck can go and eat a dick.

I remember saying that maybe the expansion comes out the end of November based on how fast they were doing reveals plus the fact that voting was ending this week. And they're doing the reveal tomorrow. Well, it could be this week.
They will patch it into the game on Tues for sure. That's why the reveal stream is on Mon.

Playing Paladin below 10 remains rough, back at 9 from 7 lost 6 or 7 games straight.
Edit: Somehow ended up racing a CW who played justicar on curve to finally end the streak

White Eyes seems really good, could definitely be played in the current midrange Shaman lists.
if the meta stops being 80% Shamans (which seems likely) then you can cut Harrison for it, otherwise I'd say Fire Elemental, or, if you're running double Feral or Mana Tide then cut one of those, although some lists already run only one of each. it's another great target for Barnes too.
