    It's strange to be that guy, but how about we don't watch it? Again, there are no packs, no experience, no better rewards system, no nothing for us. Only streamers as prisoners of the Blizzard promoting a new product (still broken) they are dependent on.

    PS: [I love many of those streamers and I am glad they have fun, but I can't have fun with them in this.]

    Corridor Owl should not be slept on, token druid runs a lot of spells.

    Is it only me or does Firebat sound super ironic? I understand his lack of excitement, because this card won't help shaman to be competitive (i.e. Shaman becoming the new Priest jab), but it's silly :D

    This really looks like N'zoth Menagerie Paladin support. We've got the Holy Elemental, now this...

    What the hell, just compare it with Swarm of Locusts and that is already a good card in a token deck, now DH have potential (but not hard to reach) double value for 1 more mana? 

    EDIT: The only thing that might not make this OP is the fact that it doesn't work with Wrathscale Naga or Knife Juggler (because it won't summon the second way of tokens I presume), only with Blood Herald, Nethrandamus and Cycle of Hatred as a followup.

    As far as I remember, the rarities are locked in when buying a pack, but the cards themselves are created when the pack is opened, so yeah, it's a good thing to wait.

    First time submitting anything. I always liked Ancestral Healing and it could be an interesting tool in slower shaman decks (but not Big decks). At first I wanted it to add only one copy of the spell, but in this economy? there was no Groundskeeper when I designed this.

     

    @Nirast. Thank you for feedback. In phrasing the card I had Rhonin as my model, but I can see that there is a newer phrasing with Violet Spellwing.

    I am ok with the Tortolan nerf, but I think the problem in Druid is the ramp and I would rather see that or the Twilight Runner nerfed.

    I look forward towards the new game mode. On the basis of "Which dragon are you packing to #MasterTheUnexpected?", I presume we will have a choice, so it can be something like Magic's Commanders?

    I agree there is less forum discussion, but when something stirs a debate, it's quite productive. I also love the news content and lore articles, OotC is number one in this. I always check the deck highlights, even though I find most of my decks in other places (I find it hard to navigate the filtering and what's wild, standard, meme, etc.). But to give an example, I loved the Odd Aggro Druid that was here a few weeks before. 

    This is where quality is to be found. I come here daily.

    Why are you afraid? Reno Priest is highly favoured against Big Shaman and that deck will be all over meta. Quest Mage might try to counter the Reno, but Kingsbane will eat alive and Reno can tech Illucia against any combo and live 'till it draws her. Even Kingsbane might run double Sap to deal with Big Shaman in case it might try to prey on aggro preying on combo decks. Big Shaman will be bad until it highrolls, but that can be like 20% percent of matches and that's not good for ladder.

    How does this deck utilise the Blade Masters?

     English is my second language so I checked and yes, apparently I meant less saturated (closer to gray on the scale from complete gray to the most vivid shade of that colour possible), but I still think the new colour is not lighter/brighter (as for relative lightness of colour on a scale from black to white).

    I would not call it lighter, to me it just seems less bright, more dull.

    I really like playing Shaman in this Tavern Brawl, you get a bunch of great cards from other classes while they have to choose from the likes of Finders Keepers, Totemic Might and Rockbiter Weapon.

    Well, if you give him enough time to do that, than yes. I think it is more like Cubelock. It doesn't even have those N'Zoth and Bloodreaver's big comebacks, so if you consider Cubelock fair, then Big Shaman is fair too.

    When I saw the Hero Power I knew I had to take the board early

    Show Spoiler
    and I was right, Demon Hunter did it for me. You can really go off with Questing Adventurer as the boss doesn't do that much. Eye Beam and Aldrachi Warblades kept me alive (Magtheridon got off one triple box and I had to face tank the boxes).

    Some people like to keep an unopened pack of each kind. Collectors, you know.
