Mid range Shaman just feels like aggro/face because all of their cards are so much better and more cost efficient that they always have enough board control to smack you down

i remeber when people cried about how useless shamen was

now it runs the meta and we lose our shit



about time shamen got sum lime light

Yeah I once lost like turn 4 as reno lock against midrange shaman. Their opening was like Trogg, wolves, flametongue, and some lightning bolts or something. It was brutal.

yeah I got 500w with bad shaman

when it became op I didn't want to play anymore lol

The problem is that no one class should "run" the meta

I also didn't like just before pre-standard how one-sided matchups become. Like, Druid almost always lost to Tempo Mage which almost always lost to Zoo which almost always lost Freeze Mage which almost always lost to Control Warrior, etc. Although there was better class representation on the ladder, there was not much inter-class (or more accurately class + archetype) balance.

/e Excluding the extremes of Shaman and Priest, I'd say individual matchups are more balanced now than pre-standard.

Can agree with that, but unfortunately as long as half of all decks are Shaman it doesn't matter

Yeah, I think shaman winrates will drop just as people learn to play against them and tech their decks better though.

I don't. Shaman cards are just simply better.

i mean, shaman is strong enough to be able to cut 4 mana 7/7 from its decklist

thats pretty op
