Spiteful seems like the thing to not cash in, yeah. And murloc paladin will still use call at 5. And I'm sure some kind of dude deck will come out using call at 5. It's a great card

I was just thinking about building that actually, gotta try it soon. I've been playing a similar version but with more spell combos and less even.

Hey shadow, do you think I should add Ancient Mage to my deck? I thought about it. I find it funny how similar my deck is to that one.

Is Genn worth crafting? It seems Even may be better than Odd in the meta.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Just played an arena game. I'm a rogue, 4-2 going into it, vs a priest. Beyond topdecking betrayal to kill a board with 4/4, 6/6, 4/4 in that order in combination with the gilnean royal guard I already had, the endgame of this game was ridiculous. I'm struggling to hold on to my life total for half of the game, with a board advantage but difficulty completely stabilizing. At one point in the game, I got Sindragosa off of some effect, I think a bone drake. When I got a turn with nothing else to play I played it never really expecting to pop either of the 0/1s as nothing in my deck could do so. I almost completely stabilized the board, with me at 3 life and him having an 11/4 and me having a tar creeper, and with a decent bit of damage and some lategame fal'dorei strider 4/4s on their way. Both of us closing in on fatigue as well. He hits the tar creeper and drops a violet wurm.

This is awful as I don't have any way at all to deal with the 1/1s, even though I can kill the wurm easily (I have a leftover stoneskin basilisk). So I'm praying for another taunt topdeck even though I have none left. I topdeck... hallucination, and pop it. Nightscale matriarch (ironically something he royally fucked me over with earlier but useless to me), shadow word: death, shadow word: pain are the options. Death is useless; I have plenty on board to kill both his minions, despite both of them being in range to die to death... the issue is the 1/1s from the wurm. So I make the literal only play available to me... I grab pain and kill one of my frozen champions. And out pops... Lord Godfrey. A board wipe that costs exactly how much mana I have left. I swing with minions and pop it and clear the board. Conveniently, it also pops my other frozen champion, which turns out to be...

...deathwing.

Which is good, because on the next turn he played a 5/5 corrosive sludge that I had no way to kill since my board was the single 4/4 of lord Godfrey, so I made the forced play of dropping deathwing. Unfortunately 2/3 of my fal'dorei strider freebies came out this turn so they were wasted. But it was a forced move to swing with the 4/4 then drop deathwing. On his turn (empty hand) he topdecks faerie dragon. I'm at 3 health so again, forced move... kill it with deathwing. I get the last 4/4 and a patient assassin, and with that, my deck is empty and the priest's deck has one card. I drop the assassin and swing for the faerie dragon, leaving me with 18 damage on board (12 deathwing + 4 spider + 1 assassin + 1 weapon) to his 17 health after hero powering next turn... and I will only have next turn to kill him, because after that I'm going to take 1 + 2 lethal fatigue damage.

I pass, and he draws the last card in his deck. Hovers over it for a good 30 seconds...

...

...

...and concedes.

Incidentally he missed 2 damage earlier from trading into an 8/1 that I had with a phantom militia when he really should have been going face since I was obviously going to make the trade on my turn. If he'd made that play I'd have lost. I was at 2hp at one point. Also would have lost if the last fal'dorei spider wound up being after the patient assassin in my deck.

i wish I would have screencapped boardstate but I just had a game as odd rogue against odd mage. They were at full health and had a tar creeper up, so they were just going face and knocked me to 3. But they left up my board of fledgling and hench clan thug. so I had hench clan kill the tarcreeper, then I did deadly poison + double cold blood on fledgling + leeroy for otk :D

Newest tier list says that EVERYTHING IS VIABLE

But Paladin is the worst.

And to be honest, I always hated Paladin.

Not sure where your looking for that stat.

https://hsreplay.net/meta/

Odd Paladin top, Even Shaman, Token Druid, Spiteful Druid and Murloc Paladin rounds out the top 5

http://metastats.net/

None of the tier 1 decks for ANY set of ranks has a druid in it, and contains Odd Paladin, Odd Rogue, Spell Hunter and Even Shaman

Far as i can tell, Druid isn't like hugely top tier, just spiteful is still good, and Agro got slightly better with the other agro decks getting a tone down.

I mean that doesn't seem to be reliant on statistics or anything at all, just what the opinion of a few people.

Vicious Syndicate is saying that Quest Warrior is the top deck.

I actually really like the meta right now. It feels like every class has at least one, and usually two, viable decklists.

I'm liking the arena event a ton (first ticket is free btw)

Shaman and mage have REALLY good event cards (master of realities & cavern dreamer) and I've gotten to play shaman twice over 4 runs, first was the day it opened and I went 11-3 with the first 9 wins all being in a row, current (4th) run I'm 6-0 with it so far after grabbing an air elemental and two stoneforged axes to make sure I could kill all of mage's cavern dreamers and went 3-0 over 3 mages to start with, and it's got two master of realities and as many token generators as I could get so I like my chances against pretty much everything except a ton of AoE.

I been playing Big Spell Mage. Worst matchup is funnily enough Aggro mage.

But it's nice to smash the living daylights out of Shudderwock.

Shudderwock can only deal so much damage from battlecries. They die to fatigue after they play shudderwock. The Mage player is almost always at 30 health with sizable armor against such a passive deck.

The one time I lost, they play shudder early after I didn't draw Jaina in the first 20 or so cards I saw, because they got both saronites and lifedrinkers turns 3 through 6 with coin.
