   Why not use a spell dmg like kobold on Mid Shaman?

   1. Stonekeep December 15, 2016

      Because Kobold is a pretty bad card in general and people were playing it in non-budget list mostly to activate it more consistently. Since budget list doesn't have Spirit Claws, the main reason to play Kobold is gone.

      It's still okay as a combo with AoE, but only for that. So I don't think that the card is worth a slot.

      I think that adding Kobold once you get Spirit Claws might be a good idea, but I'd say that it's worth to save for Thalnos - the card is so flexible and goes into so much decks, including Midrange Shaman.

         Well said sir, I hadn't noticed your response while I was typing my own. +1

      The Deck List is a budget version, but it's not about Bloodmage Thalnos/Kobold. The Spell Dmg+ enables Spirt Claws/Tunnel Trogg (Overloaded Spells) and they're absent as well.

      The Primal Fusion/Totem synergy means more consistent/resilient board presence instead of relying on several 2-3 card combos.

   How about a post for most expensive decks you can make? I want people to know that I've spent a few paychecks on virtual cards ( ^_^)/ ',~

      I think that the target audience of such a post would be quite small :p However, I'd say that Reno decks are the most expensive ones right now. A lot of them cost ~10k dust, not to mention all the adventure cards. Oh, and any slow, N'Zoth deck like N'Zoth Warrior or N'Zoth Shaman.

      1. TacoRocco December 16, 2016

         We need more posts for the 1%. 35 Legendary deck just isn't good enough. Control Warrior isn't expensive enough either. Just for the hell of it, you should make a post for best decks that cost more than 20,000 dust. It'd be pretty interesting just to see what some decent expensive decks would look like. Because as we all know, too many expensive cards is bad, just like too many cheap cards is not optimal.

   freeze mage doesnt have any gadgetzan cards?

   1. Evident December 17, 2016

      It's for the Gadgetzan meta, unfortunately the deck really didn't get any cards to use from the expansion.

   quick question for the users here is it helpful to craft coldlight oracle because I do not see it being used in many decks but I do play freeze mage so I wanted to just get your thoughts.

   1. Stonekeep December 18, 2016

      Coldlight isn't used in many meta decks, it's mostly used in off-meta/fun decks. For example, it's a basic card in mill/fatigue decks and it's sometimes a tech in Aggro decks/Freeze Mage.

      Right now I don't think it's worth crafting, it's a much better tech card in slower metas. Right now it's not used in Freeze Mage, because you basically give Aggro decks more fuel with it. But if you want to play Freeze Mage on budget, Aggro Freeze Mage is the only option and the card is necessary there.

   will you update this and make it budget un goro decks ?

   1. Stonekeep April 6, 2017

      Definitely, but we'll give some time for the meta to settle. You should probably expect update around 2-3 weeks from now!

         ok thanks
