Dragon "anything" can potentially exist with the addition of Twilight Guardian.

I dig the deck! But is there any reason for it to be Shaman? Just looking at the list I see no reason why I would want to try Dragon Shaman over Dragon Priest... the Priest class cards (in particular the dragon oriented ones) just work better for a dragon deck than the generic Shaman spells.

So I was on a roll with my mage deck this morning for a quest. Won 5 games in a row and already had a streak going before that. Hit rank 10.



This is officially the highest rank I've ever been. I know you guys are way better than me but I'm happy to have finally hit this point. :P

People trashed ancestral knowledge for having too much overload, but it's a great draw card later in the game.

Having 2x blackwing corruptor and 2x fire ele just feels disgusting at times. Charged hammer is great for the slow grindy matchups. Healing wave makes hunters cry. Earth Shock and Hex are both removal options that priest does not have. Double crackle can be used to finish off the opponent.

I'm playing with dragon priest too, I think both of these are fairly equal in strength. The one card dragon shaman could use is Wyrmrest Agent.

Ancestral Knowledge? Yuck. You have literally no 2 drops, so I would definitely replace those with Loot Hoarders if I were playing this. I'm also not crazy about double Healing Wave, but otherwise I really like the idea of the deck.

I dunno if I'm allowed to complain since I was also playing paladin (for a quest) but holy crap I got entirely sick of playing against pallies this morning. >_>

Okay, here is my mech paladin deck I have been tinkering with for quite a while. It is my favorite thing to play, so, advice would be appreciated! I am currently trying ranked play a little bit, and seeing how far I can get. I am currently at rank 16.

Clockwork Gnome x2
Cogmaster x1
Loot Hoarder x1
Mechwarper x2
Micro Machine x1
Shielded Minibot x2
Coghammer x1
Earthen Ring Far Seer x1
Spider Tank x2
Tinker Town Technician x2
Truesilver Champion x1
Blessing of Kings x1
Consecration x2
Hammer of Wrath x1
Piloted Sky Golem x2
Sludge Belcher x1
Boulderfist Ogre x1
Piloted Sky Golem x1
Sunwalker x1
 Dr. Boom x1
Stormwind Champion x1
Troggzor the Earthinator x1
Force-Tank MAX x1

Sunwalker is there because he is tough to remove, especially for priests. Troggzor is there because I was having issues with spells. Any advice would be welcome!

Mech decks tend to work best with an agressive tempo playstyle.

I would take out the slower defensive things like belcher and sunwalker, and shift to a much lower mana curve. Working on a decklist now, I'll update this post after a few games.

*edit*

Something like this:

Blessing of Might x1
Clockwork Gnome x2
Cogmaster x2
Annoy-O-Tron x2
Mechwarper x2
Shielded Minibot x2
Coghammer x2
Divine Favor x2
Spider Tank x2
Tinkertown Technician x2
Truesilver Champion x2
Blessing of Kings x2
Piloted Shredder x2
Clockwork Knight x2
Piloted Sky Golem x2
Dr Boom

Go for face when you can afford to do so. You will typically want to use coghammer and truesilver to keep the board clear, otherwise feel free to swing for face. Divine Favor is incredible for refilling your hand just as you run out of options.

Okay, thank you! I will try this out. The only problem is that I don't have Divine Favor, should I craft that? Also, I only have one copy each of Coghammer and Piloted Sky Golem.

If you play a lot of pally, divine favor is a pretty useful card right now. It's great in all of the various aggro decks.

Hmm. Played Loatheb for fun today, and he copied a spore with his own Faceless Manipulator when there were other minions to copy. Bug...?

@Lambo, the deck you built brought me to level 15, but no further, thank you for the help! I definitely see that mechs play better as aggro, though I have a control oriented mind and that is what I prefer to play, and Pally is my favorite class.

Control Pally is really tough to pull off right now. It lacks the amount of removal that Control Warrior has access to, and it doesn't have a reliable way to burst down the opponent , such as Grommash.

Yeah, it is kind of irritating. I didn't like warrior much, but I did just get my second shield bash, so maybe I will give it another go...

This is a fairly standard control warrior list:

Ah, thank you. That looks like a good deck, and doable, except that I don't have Harrison, Emperor, Sylvanus, Grommash, Alexstrazza, or Ysera...

Control Warrior is probably the meta deck with the most legendaries currently, so it's the hardest to get all the necessary pieces for.

I see, thank you! Is it unusual that I have been playing for a while, and only gotten 7 legendarys from packs?

I've been playing since Open Beta and I've maybe opened 8 or so legendarys. Granted I don't play every day but you get the point. I have more or less complete playsets or Mage, Priest and Warrior without the expensive control warrior stuff... I still have a lot of fun!

That really depends on what a while means, or more specifically, how many packs you have opened. The average legendary occurrence is about 1 per 20 packs, so if you have opened fewer than 150 packs, that's not a bad haul. Might I ask though, what are the legendaries you got?

Ah, good point... I have probably not opened 150 packs...

I have Gaz'rilla, Mal'Ganis, Varian Wrynn, Troggzor, Onyxia, and Malygos. I have crafted Dr. Boom, and gotten Maexxna and Loatheb from adventures.

Mal'Ganis, Varian, Boom, and sometimes Malygos all have good potential uses, so that's not bad at all. I feel like Troggzor could be playable but you don't see much of him around.

Should I try to go for the first wing of Blackrock to get Thaurissian, or get Voidcaller to pull out my Mal'Ganis? Or just buy more packs?

The adventures have some really great cards so I'd recommend getting those before anymore packs, since you have a decent start to pack cards.
