this is my shaman deck that i've build from experience playing in arena, ranked and such, i have not seen nor read any forums/videos, i'm just solely carrying myself by using my past experience as a Magic The Gathering player, lol. I'm open to suggestions, please feedback. My shaman deck are as follow:
I seem to be doing OK and climbed up to rank 18 today. However, I'm having problems with decks that deal direct damage to my face (equipping a weapon) such as Warriors. Any ways to improve this?
I think the deck lacks early game. You need a few 2-drops. Can't emphasise how important they are in this game. If you turn 1 and 2 do nothing but hero power and your opponent starts building a board you will find it very hard to turn it around because the tempo is against you. Putting in Knife Jugglers or Faerie Dragons should help.
Abomination as mentioned doesn't suit Shamans because they destroy your totems as well. Better to swap for a good 4-drop since you have other 5-drops. And Al'Akir is not worth it imo especially when you don't even run Rockbiters.
Hmm , ok. I'm using some of those cards coz I haven't got enough to get the rare/epics yet.
What are the fastest way to get rares and epics here?
Or dust?
If you don't have rares/epics you can stick with good common cards like Ooze or Yeti.
Fastest way to get rares/epics would be to buy packs. If you don't want to spend money then either buy packs via gold you get from Play mode or you can get packs by doing well in Arena.
If you want to craft using dust, I would suggest crafting cards like Argent Commander, Azure Drake, Defender of Argus first.
Reckless Rocketeer - It's in my deck because I don't have Leeroy Snipe - Cheap ass card. It's like trading for a minion. I thought of changing it to explosive shot instead but I think ES is too expensive to cast. Ysera - Rarely even reach turn 9 with this deck but Ysera helps alot if draw cards fails badly. Helped me comeback a few times but I might remove it in the future. Explosive Trap x1 - Usually ppl run x2 of this but I rarely get swarmed so it's ok. Same with deadly shot.
Best part of my deck. It's cheap lol (minus Ysera, which is totally nt important). I don't play HS much so I'm missing really alot of cards
Seems more like a control deck than an aggro one with all that removal and big drops lol How is that Tundra Rhino working out for you? I can never get it to work consistently
3-1 now, lost one to disconnect.. please internet, dont fail me now!
So how well did you do? First glance of the deck tells me the lack of early and mid game is gonna hurt in some matches but past turn 5 the deck is pretty crazy
Shaman v Shaman and opponent had 4 minions on board but all except 1 had 1 hp left. He has bloodlust in his hand and he figures he has lethal on me....BUT he forgot one of his minions was a Wild Pyromancer.
What ensued made me lol so hard. He basically pretty much wiped his whole board for me
Don't think there is an OTK combo right now...but there are still combos that can deal enough burst as finishers
Druid is still the king of the current meta. Especially in its current form with that Force of Nature/Savage Roar combo.
Murloc warlock can be countered easily but is very efficient in climbing ladder because of how quick the games finish. Giants warlock is much much harder to deal with imo.
got.. priests can do it.. buff an existing minion HP to max with 2 cards, then convert the HP to be similar to ATT, then finish u in 1 turn/1 creature. (encountered an enemy that managed to buff his minion to 40+ attack... lols gheyed)
Priests always had combos with Inner Fire and Divine Spirit available. In the early days ppl used to buff Lightwells to insane stats. Now ppl use the crazed alchemist which adds an extra option. But these decks are just for fun. They are never consistent. And the fact that you need an existing minion...I dunno if that can be counted as OTK. The previous Hunter and Warrior OTK decks just kill you with nothing on board
No restrictions for decks but maybe limit diff class for each deck? And if win have to continue same deck (blizz style) or can change? And vice versa if lose have to change deck or can use back the same deck?

Get all the participant's LYN ID or FB and post it when the list of participants is finalised. Then from the list we know who to contact to arrange the timing. Rather than waiting in game for your opponent to come online
USD50 for 40 packs.. spend on that a few times then u get most of 100 of the existing cards
else u can play it the slow way, farming Quests after Quests, Arenas after Arenas.. actually this is the better way of playing.. gives the game more longevity for yourself. Else once you've become pro (for any CCG games) it's easy to become demotivated (due to lacking purpose) for playin on.... and yes you get to save lots of $$ in the end too.
I played Duel of Champions for many months till I unlocked almost all cards and expansions.. after that the game felt sien for me... so don't wanna repeat same mistake here.. (spent only abit on the game)
Slow way...that's what I'm doing
Been getting all my cards from Arenas...I haven't played constructed that much so can say I'm lacking experience there.
