Safe to Disenchant cards weren’t updated for the Rise of Shadows yet. And yeah, I didn’t expect Flark to actually start seeing play back then. But that’s what can happen after rotation.

“Control Shaman seems to be one of the more popular and potent decks” – not really, though. When i was updating this no one was playing Control Shaman (and as much as I would love to, I can’t predict the future). Calling it potent is also a bit of an overstatement. It’s a Tier 3 deck right now according to stats. It’s played now mostly because of HCT World Championship, not because it’s an amazing deck. Keep in mind that tournament meta is different than ladder meta, mostly because you can just ban Warrior, which is something you can’t do on ladder.

I’ll probably do another round of updates soon(-ish) and if Control Shaman actually sees common meta play (it might happen, because Shaman got some really good cards this expansion, but so far they don’t seem to be just enough), then I’ll definitely add it.

6 Packs – Hunterace
5 Packs – Viper
4 Packs – Bunnyhoppor & SNJing
3 Packs – Bloodyface, justsayian, Languagehacker, LFYueying
2 Packs – A83650, killinallday, Roger, TGXiaoT
1 Pack – Bloodtrail, Ike, muzzy, Tyler

That +1 (because everyone gets 1 pack for at least participating).

So here’s the full list:

6 Packs – Hunterace
5 Packs – Viper
4 Packs – Bunnyhoppor & SNJing
3 Packs – Bloodyface, justsayian, Languagehacker, LFYueying
2 Packs – A83650, killinallday, Roger, TGXiaoT
1 Pack – Bloodtrail, Ike, muzzy, Tyler

Have some ideas about this?

Yeah, it’s called being paranoid 🙂

But seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

We do have one, actually. It’s just called “Tempo Rogue” here. I’ll need to update it a bit soon (because the deck list is a bit outdated) but most of the strategy section should be fine: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/deck-guide/tempo-rogue-deck-list-guide/

Let me know if you spot any mistakes!

The idea behind those two decks is a bit different. The one with Shield Slam is just a Control Warrior with Mecha’thun + Galvanizer added to potentially win some Control matchups, but it has obvious downsides (normal CW doesn’t draw that much + you can’t pull it off if you don’t have Armor).

This is more of a combo deck, since it runs more card draw and has a 100% guaranteed combo even without Armor. This one is more akin to the Boomship version, which runs Mecha’thun + Boomship + Malygos + 2x Inner Rage + Whirlwind. And it’s basically the same amount of combo pieces – both run 6. Which one of those is better is hard to say – in Control matchups they’re basically the same, but against faster decks (where you don’t need your combo), Boomship versions has potential Malygos clears with Inner Rage or Whirlwind, while this one has Voodoo Doll + Inner Rage combo to kill anything, which is a great tempo move, but costs 2 cards. So… in the end they’re really similar. But both are different than the Shield Slam version.

Yes, for Chef Nomi. Believe it or not, but Miracle Priest is actually pretty common in high Legend, and it lets you kill it with Warpath.

But why is that a weak point of the game? It just shows the Aggro (boar-centered) vs Control (reactive) matchup – one side tries to build the board and other tries to clear it. It works like that in other card games too, and it’s not the weak point, it’s just one of the matchups.

And I would never draw the conclusion that it’s how the game actually works like every time just from watching this.

The thing is – it doesn’t matter that she’s bad against aggro, because you absolutely need her for Control mirrors. And since Control decks are rather popular right now, you can’t drop her. If you want to play Control (so Control Warrior, Bomb Warrior, Control Shaman), Elysiana is a must. If your opponent has her and you don’t, you lose. Not 100% of the time, sometimes you will pull off a win through pressure, but most of the time you will just get outgrinded.

That’s why there’s not really much you can do – if you play Control, you need to get her.

It’s the second time we see this Brawl. Comments below this one might be outdated.

Yeah, right now Epics seem to be a lot bigger concern than Legendaries. There aren’t a TON of “must have” Legends, while lots of decks require multiple Epics to play them competitively.

I’ll update the Epic crafting guide next – it should be ready by Friday!

Thanks, fixed it! I’ve copied the description from YotR and missed that part when changing it 🙂

Congratz, it’s a great pull 🙂

Witchwood packs are worth just as much as Boomsday and Rastkahan’s, though, since they will rotate out at the same time. That’s assuming you need cards from each expansion as much, because the truth is that you are usually missing more key cards from X than Y expansion (unless you don’t have any cards from any of those).

Some of the promotions are only available through official store. I think you can only buy the ones that show in-game through Amazon. But maybe the Amazon client hasn’t updated yet – I’d wait a few days and if it’s still not there, buy it through the Blizzard store.

I think that’s because Windfury is an evergreen keyword, and Mega-Windfury is sort of its extension.

I do think that they should explain it on the card, though, just like it was explained on the V-07-TR-0N (https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/v-07-tr-0n/)
