Brode said both the Shaman and Rogue legendary work like pre-nerf Yogg, so it should keep doing the effects. I’m not going to trust his word 100%, though…
Shudderwock
Apparently the order is random… Brode said otherwise… I’ll let you know in 3 days!
Shudderwock
Ok, apparently Brode was wrong…
All I can say is you play as many “3 damage to face” cards and both Saronite, so you get 66% chance (instead of 50%) to get a saronite effect before grumble (and deal 6, 9, or 12 damage instead of 3). You can also add Zola the Gorgon for safety 9-mana backup (on empty board) and/or the Baleful Banker.

Most evolve cards are rotating out, so it’ll be good for Wild Evolve Shaman.
Shudderwock
Didn’t he confirm that they will always be the same order? I swear I heard him tell Day9 that.
Lifedrinker
After Siege Rhino rotated out of standard, he found its way to Hearthstone!
Gonna be great for Shudderwock decks!
Shudderwock
Turn 4-7: Play Saronite and Nightblade and/or Lifedrinker (just saw this card and added it here)
Turn 6-8: Play Grumble (has to be after Saronite)
Turn 9+: Play Shudderwock: Creates a copy of itself, deals 3 damage face and then bumps copy back to hand (costs 1 mana).
Turn 10: Play 10x 1-mana Shudderwock for 30 damage face.
Plenty of good battlecry cards to tech :
Chief Inspector (even though Ice Block isn’t standard anymore)
Priestess of Elune, Darkscale Healer, Fungal Enchanter, etc… if you need a bit more survival
Fill the rest of the deck with good control cards and draw.
Countess Ashmore
Should be decent in Rush Warrior (if it’s a thing), since the Woodcutter’s Axe has a Deathrattle. Don’t think there are any good Lifesteal minions for the deck, but drawing 2 cards is pretty good!
Vivid Nightmare
A combo is generally 30+ damage, to be called OTK, but this is still pretty good. My only worry about these charge combos is that you can’t charge through 7 Voidlords…
Blackhowl Gunspire
Great tech card against Avenging Wrath. You know, that card in every paladin decks?
Dire Frenzy
Right… I started doing the maths for Stonetusk boar, then figured that Bluegill would give more consistent results… completely forgot about the beast part.
You’d need 4-6 8/8 boars, which would require both Dire Frenzy and a lot more draw…
Dire Frenzy
Possible OTK Combo: Bluegill Warrior + Dire Frenzy. Wait to draw all 3 buffed Bluegill, play Emeriss. Next turn you have 30 OTK for 6 mana. (50 damage for 10 mana if you cast both Dire Frenzy, in case you need to kill taunts or go through additional health/armor)
Problem is… hunter needs better draw and better control cards.
Witchwood Grizzly
How can a druid card recruit a warlock card? You must be thinking Master Oakheart.
Witchwood Grizzly
Yeah, I misread the card… Recruit a minion with 4 attack or less would have been to strong, with Malygos, etc..
Witchwood Grizzly
Works well with Recruit, like Oaken Summons or Master Oakheart to summon without the battlecry. (And then bring it back with Witching Hour if it’s your only beast)
Do-able with Saronite Chain-Gang (bounces the copie(s)), but since the order is random, it’s not guaranteed.
