I believe Kindly Grandmother always slots into Midrange Hunter decks.
Do they run Curator?
Thanks!
I definitely think so. In the right set up, the Sunshard can produce an endless stream of Priest spells.
Unless you're willing to spend big money on the game, I don't really see any other option.
If you're at that point, I would wait to see how the meta shakes out.
It's probably my favorite card in the set.
It's so mean to priests. They have no good way to deal with it unless they run pint-size.

fuckin' called it, man
1 mana 5/5s with charge
God damn, I love Quest/Deathrattle priest so much. Elise and N'Zoth in there make it so righteous too. Glad I made crafted both as goldens! Those two and Kazakus so far. I plan on making one choice golden legendary every expansion, ideally one of the more playable and awesome ones that also happen to generate more golden cards.
I'm only around rank 12 or 11 right now, and it's like a 60-70% winrate, which is fine for me. Having lots of fun.
So, I see people ask this kind of stuff a lot. What do you use to counter, or what do you tech against XYZ deck, etc. But I don't understand how it's possible to actually apply this information. You can't decide who you're going to play next, unless you're about to duel a friend and you know they favor a particular deck.
So how do you all run specific counters/tech cards when you have no idea what you're going to face next? I never really see the same deck over and over again on ladder, no matter where I am on it. There's always some variety.

I refuse to play anything but Egg Druid up until next Sunday. Let's see how it goes.

Going back and forth between Quest Taunt Warrior and Quest Priest.
Just never enough removal and by turn 6 it's over.
Very frustrating.
Absolutely. Especially since it can be played alongside cheap cards.

I would hold off on Lyra. It's not good against aggro at all.
But if you like priest and are ok with tier 3 decks, it's probably ok.

I would like that dragon card if it were a little cheaper. Or say dragons hadn't rotated.
Equality + primordial drake has to be a solid play. But it's so expensive. If dragon consort was around, you could potentially set up that on turn 8.
And yeah you can play it in wild, but it's likely not strong enough there.
I do like primordial drake in paladin, because unlike wild pyro you can land a bunch of hand buffs on it and it still matters because it doesn't suicide itself with equality. And you don't have to run a janky card like wild pyro. It is another high cost card though. High curve paladin cards are getting pretty heavy with rag and tirion being somewhat staples although I wouldn't mind cutting one of them.
I have doubts about paladin being strong in the meta though, cause miracle rogue and to some extent quest rogue.
edit:
Actually paladin also got stonehill defender to give them a solid shot at pulling a legendary taunt (they have 3 now). I think hand buff paladin of some control variety could be legit. At least worth trying. I played against one with quest rogue and actually lost although it was an experimental build and I made some bad decisions. There are a few ideas in paladin worth exploring again.

Tidesoftime running a slower murloc paladin at top 10 legend.
Decklist
Vilefin Inquisitor works so well with Rockpool Hunter just as a 1/3, and murloc hero power makes Murloc Discover and Megasaur even better. Much better than turn 1 pass and lose a card of Murloc Shaman.
Hydrologist is just a solid card too that happens to be a murloc.

Would you refuse to share a list?
I'm talking about the deck, not the card.

It can be frustrating but sometimes you just have to try other decks. I've been steamrolling quest rogue with aggro mage. For what it's worth, I've won about half my games against quest rogue with quest warrior. It's not easy at all but it's doable with the right opening hand.
I've been thinking this expansion is hard for new people and for F2Ps who didn't save gold. At least for a week or two.
As a newcomer, I see quite a few players using quest decks (in my case i see loads of murloc shamans) and i haven't got many tools to stop/delay the quest.
The average decks of opponents have definitely changed. We'll see how it goes from here.
It would have been cool to get a random quest card at the start instead of that other dino we got.

I've considered it removing it myself. It is fairly slow in that you can't attack with them until turn 7. How good is just getting a 2/3 and 3/2 off it?
But he's apparently still experimenting and losing. Didn't know that when I clicked on his stream and posted it here, just figured it'd be winning if he's still that high in ranks.
Though he did face against an aggro murloc paladin deck, so it seems like it's gaining popularity at this point in time. That one had Leeroy, another card I've considered adding.
This is slightly old, I don't have Felfire in there anymore and put in Dirty Rat instead.
There is merit to using Elise in the new Handlock deck but I don't have dust to try it out.

theoried this deck up
I don't have tarim yet, but I'll craft him eventually
This deck is all about low drop, high value. The sort of thing paladin tends to excel at.
The handbuff stuff might be a bit too much. Might only be smart to include 1 or 2 of these things.

Try the Warrior quest. I run double brawls and whirlwinds, and they end up running out of gas pretty quickly.
Now Grimestreet enforcer?

Man no Blazecaller? That card is lit in any Elemental deck.
Aside from the Equalities and the lack of Blazecallers this is very similar to what other people are running for Pally.

It's in the running for consideration. I'm just trying to keep it a little lower curve. If I cut some handbuff, I will probably add at least one.

7-1 with Egg Druid in Wild. This deck just feels unfair.
On what turn do you usually have the ability to play Mountain Giant with all of these Pirate Warriors running around?

I don't play Mountain Giants against Pirate Warrior, I just mulligan those away. Every other card in the deck is good against Pirate Warrior though especially the Razorleafs into any taunt activator.
Pirate Warrior is going to ignore all of your board so everything gets hit by Shambler/DoA/Sunfury.
But Mountain Giants win other match ups.

Quest Rogue is awful! I wanted to craft a quest and one that would be worth most of my dust so I went for Rogue, what a mistake!
05 later and I'm pissed off. I get destroyed every game by any deck and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I haven't even got near completing the quest abs get wrecked while messing around digging for the right cards.
What am I doing wrong?

Brawls and Wild Tournaments. But you're probably safe either way.
I would dump the curator package. And maybe chillmaw.
And i think you're a little greedy with the AOE. I'd dump one of the 5ers. Probably excavated.
So pissed off, only got the druid quest legendary - and it's complete shit right now vs the decks most people are running.
I'm also starting to get really impatient, and I want to craft the rogue or shaman or hunter legendaries - but keep telling myself to wait for the meta to settle down.

Primordial Drake is really good in taunt warrior. It's a shame a bunch of dragons rotated out

Chromagus will always have a weird future potential should you ever get the ability to control what is on the top of your deck.
I do wonder if there will ever be a way to put something at the top of your deck. Hemet is the first to kinda let you do that, by removing every single card from your deck but the one you want.
But at that point, maybe the 400 dust now is worth the small potential for 1600 dust lost in the future.

Quite a difference between only playing the best decks and wanting to play a reasonably viable deck.
Druid is probably the worst class right now with token probably being the only somewhat viable archetype for the class. Even Jade is pretty bad now because Druid just can't deal with all the aggressive decks and has absolutely no way to fend off quest Rogue.
Yep, because dust is pretty hard to come by if you spend it all.
