I've been mucking about with Evo Shaman for a while, I'll help if I can
 
The cards I would question using:
Haunted Creeper - overall a decent low cost minion, but its from Naxx, and the only card keeping you from playing this deck on standard rather than wild. 
 
Jeweled Scarab - 2 mana for a 1/1 minion, there are lots better to choose from, even with the extra card. 
 
Nerubian Prophet - too slow. It has to sit in your hand at least 2 turns before its worth bringing out. If you draw it early, it takes up hand space doing nothing, if you draw it late, it burns more mana than its worth. Much better cards to choose from, like Flamewreathed Faceless or Dranei Totemcalller.
 
Elemental Destruction - if you're looking for an AOE, I'd rather take lighting storm. Its less damage, but also costs less and a much lower overload, and only targets enemy minions. Or Lava Burst to take out a single larger minion.
 
Mukkla - not bad, but there are better 6 cost minions.  Also keep in mind that when you evolve a minion, any buffs you placed on it dont carry over, so the bananas arent worth as much. 
 
Hammer of Twilight - personally, I prefer Doomhammer, but this isnt a bad replacement. More personal taste I guess. 
 
My current Evo Shaman deck:
2x evolve
2x lightning bolt
2x tunnel trogg
1x ancestral knowledge
2x etermal sentinal
2x flametongue totem
2x totem golem
2x feral spirit
2x hex
1x lava burst
1x lightning storm
2x tuskarr totemic
1x flamewreathed faceless
2x master of evolution
1x doomhammer
1x thunder bluff valiant
2x fire elemental
2x thing from below
 
 
keep in mind that when you Evo a minion, its just like summoning a new one - so all damage is gone, but it cant attack that turn. Standard tactic is to attack for trades that leave your minions damaged, then Evo to get all new ones. Dont place your flametongue totems until you are about to attack, or after you Evo.

Sooo I've been playing Handlock since Naxx dropped and it almost makes me want to cry that the deck hasn't really seen any love lately at all... Especially with Molten Giant getting a harsh nerf. I still think the deck is playable and can actually excel, just needs a little tweaking. I've made a Reno Handlock that's helped get me to rank 5 this season already, but I feel like it's not nearly as good as it can be. I have tested moltens a lot lately and feel like they're still good especially in a reno deck.. Any opinions on changes?

Running duplicate cards with Reno is way too risky, and it isn't that rewarding either. I would include one Sea Giant (unless you face freeze mages or yogg-saron decks) and one Frost Giant in place of the duplicate Giants. As for the duplicate Drake, you could try running Midnight Drake.

Sen'jin has higher quality than Fen Creeper, but since the 4-slot is too crowded, Fen Creeper is maybe even better. However, if you change the 4/5 curve, you should swap those two.

I ended up doing -1 Brann Bronzebeard, -1 Twilight Drake, -1 Fen Creeper, -1 Mountain Giant, and -1 Molten Giant in favor of +1 Imp Gang Boss, +1 Cho'gall, +1 Twisting Nether, +1 Frost Giant, +1 Sea Giant. Seems to be working out great so far :D

You'll need some more low cost minions to get a better start against aggro.  I'd recommend tunnel trog, or if you dont have LOE, maybe argent squire. Tunnel trog is about the best 1 drop for this deck because of the potential to grow, at at 3 defense its likely to stick around at least a turn or make your opponent use something powerful to get rid of it. Ideal start is tunnel trog > totem golem or coin + feral spirit.  If you have flamewreathed faceless in your opening hand, I like to hold on to it IF you have other low cost minions to get a solid start, because getting a 7/7 out on turn 4 (or 3) is so powerful. 

 

In many ways, an Evo deck plays like Face Shaman, at least the first few turns. Evo has a stronger mid game with bigger minions coming later, and the ability to use yours to take out opposing minions then "trade up" with evolve or master of evolution and fully heal into something bigger.

My favorite class since i started playing hearthstone was Shaman, i expend like half a year playing Ancestor Call shaman, now with the arrive of WotOG and standard u cannot use Ancestor's Call and Crackle anymore, but we got some new cards like Hallazeal and stormcrack, so yeah it is hard to make a 30 damage combo but we have more heal (that hallazeal + elemental destruction deck is just overpowered) and stormcrak that give us a good way to clean annoying minions like Azure drake, flamewalker...) . Below i will put my decklist, if you have any suggestion please tell me.(i have to say my native language is not english so dont be rude smile.png )

 

2x Lightning Bolt

2x stormcrack

2x Lava Shock

2x Ancestral knowledge

2x Loot Hoarder

1x Thalnos

2x Elemental destruction

2x Far Sight

2x Lightning Storm

2x Lava Burst

2x Hex

2x Healing Wave

2x Feral Spirit

1x Hallazeal

1x Thaurissan

1x Alextrasza

1x Malygos

1x Yogg-Saron

 

Explanation of some choices:

I play Loot Hoarder because i felt i needed more draw power, before i had Azure Drake but sometimes with overload i found myself in a incomfortable position because i needed spell damage but it cost just too much, thats why i also put thalnos it gives me spell power without having to use hero power and praise for that token, and it also gives me a card, yeah sometimes having 3 2-drops make healing wave less valuable but you just have to mulligan for those cards along with elemental destrucion and stormcrack and you are ok (it depends on the matchup).

 

Hallazeal it just broken, i felt in love whe it was realeased, just having a way to clear a bord and a pseudo reno jackson eff its just OP. Before the arrive of WotOG i didnt needed Alexstrasza because you could easily 30 damage but now is harder, now you cant or at least is really hard to make 30 damage with malygos so alex is good here. 

 

And Yogg-Saron...ehheheh. well this card is not a card you will use every single game, you only will use it when you are in a really bad spot. So there is two options: or you lose more than before or you can make a comeback with his eff. If you see it that way is not that bad card. sometimes vs warrior or in fatigue games where i didnt have malygos anymore that card stole the game (for me or for the opponent...)

 

In general this is a control-based deck based in stall the beggining and mid game, cleaning your opponent board and healing yourself. This deck is a really fun deck to play and is really good i highly recommend it but yeah if you could tell me some techs or something that would be great

I feel like 2 Healing Waves are enough and make Hallazeal the Ascended unneeded. If your experience has proven otherwise, then your deck is good to go (though Yogg-Saron, Hope's End is very goofy). If not, Azure Drake is the card that could work. If you want to get rid of Yogg-Saron, Hope's End as well, a second copy of Azure Drake is reasonable.

@positiv2 Gorehowl has worked pretty great in the past, but, it does tend to end up with a lot of damage with my face, which is less than ideal. :/

Do you tend to lean towards the Obsidian Destroyer or Hogger  ,as I have both available?

Are there any other adjustments you'd recommend?

i really like healing wave vs aggro decks like zoo or shaman, you just have to heal and clear the board so then you can hallazeal + elemental destruction, that is an almost auto-win vs those decks. Yogg-Saron is not a card you will play always, vs control decks like warrior where malygos and alex combo isnt enough you can use yogg saron as a win condition. Also sometimes happen that you will lose no matter what so u play yogg and you lose more D: ... or can give you a comeback, if you see it that way is not a bad card. Drake i tried it a few weeks ago and i dont know i felt its mana cost is too high, yeah he gives you spell damage but sometimes you need to clean bord and heal at the same time, with drake you can only clear so :/

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.

      March of the Lich King, set to release on December 6th, is Hearthstone's third expansion in the Year of the Hydra. Blizzard gave us an early sneak peek at some of the Warrior cards revealed today that we discuss in our latest post.
      Today, we'd like to dive into the Warrior cards revealed by Inven Global.

      Pretty straightforward card. The effect gives us much more value the larger the minion is. It gets really scary with the potential follow-up with Bulk Up giving you this massively overstated minion in hand twice. Or If you can get this on Mor’shan Elite, that’s another nice double dip of value.

      Honestly, this feels like it was tailor-made to be the ideal target of Last Stand, as your opponent can’t easily get rid of it with cheap removal. It lets you use your stats immediately by letting you trade in and stabilize with a big taunt. It might not be too shabby on its own, as the 3 effects make it an annoying wall most opponents will be forced to trade into.

      Wow, they’re really not holding back with hand disruption this set. One (nearly) guaranteed discard is pretty impactful and becomes a must-remove card in any control matchup. This card will absolutely crush the hearts of some Big Spell Mages in the coming months, that’s for sure.
      It should be noted that this discard, the devs have confirmed to us that it will trigger your opponent’s “Whenever you discard a card” effects. So try and clear a Discard Warlock's Tiny Knight of Evil and perhaps try to play around having Suffocating Shadows or Soul Barrage trigger in that matchup. 

      To round off the control toolbox from this expansion, we’ve got a pretty unique effect here. Hopefully, this doesn’t end up being too easy to play around for savvy opponents. You could pre-empt this by running out a Blademaster Okani first and baiting out your opponent into playing a small spell first. But still, while the effect will only be as game-changing as your opponent’s last spell, getting any meaningful spell off seems pretty nice.
      Putting it all together, we have put together an interesting Taunt Control Warrior decklist to try out:  AAECAQcMmu0D784EvIoE2fkDqIoEiN8E784E0qwEmu0DlJUEzJIFiKAECcWSBZTtA47tA5+fBImgBIagBJDUBMSSBcuSBQA= . Slotting in Varian seems like a natural addition to any deck with Silverfury Stalwart and Tealan hops along to be the one divine shield minion you might want to have in your control deck. Rokara and Remornia are just good cards and they’ll go a long way to having your Mor’shan Elite’s active. The rest of the deck is the classic Control Warrior shell that will hopefully give you the armor and removal needed to live long enough to throw down your double-stated taunted win conditions.
