I really have no idea what the standard meta is, or even half the time what cards are in standard, so I can't really comment too much on that.  However, in wild, pirate spam is running rampant, and so in my main ladder deck, I added a rather ridiculous number of taunts, heals, and removals to stay alive in the early game until you can get control of the board and/or reno and whatever.  Comparing my deck to yours, the neutral standard cards that I'm using and you aren't are brann, mind control tech, senjin shieldmasta, twilight drake, second rate bruiser, sylvanas, and thaurissan.  (pretty sure he's still in standard, anyway)  Of those, second rate bruiser and senjin might be worth throwing in, maybe mind control tech and brann, too, but making room would be hard.  Other than maybe earth shock, there aren't any cards that I'd even consider to question, and even that card likely depends on the standard meta. 

This is the deck I've been using.  I've tweaked it a bit since I started using it (I created it soon after MSG came out), the most recent change being to drop implosion (2s suck ass) and friendly bartender to add dirty rat (really good against other control decks; pulling reno, nzoth or kazakus is great) and mind control tech.  Rank 4 atm.

Priest is a really weird class right now.  If you get a bunch of talonpriests and stuff like that, you do really well.  If you don't... priest is just as crappy as before.  My priest runs so far this expansion are something like 2,3,and 11 wins.

First time I've bothered to do this for a very long time... :p  Next step, #1...?

wow, sick! Furthest I've ever been is rank 13, let alone Legend. What deck were you using?

The image says renolock, but everyone knows he's just pretending to play renolock while playing pirate warrior

I have to admit that this week's brawl is one of the best we've had in a loooong time. It is loads of fun and allows crazy combos easily.



Many decks works. I have tried the obvious ones like Tempo Mage and Miracle Jade Druid, to Kun C'Thun and Secret Lock'n'Load. Now I am playing with this Demonlock.

It's absolutely fun

The brawl is quite alright, yeah, but will generally become a RTS kind of brawl so have fun while you can.
That said, I played an exodia mage, anti-secret cards and Loatheb being the only counters.



Patches practically makes the deck 1 card thinner, making it easier to get what you need. Reno might work too, but you are already done if they have anti-secret cards.

The same deck I posted a few posts ago, but I changed a couple cards by adding N'Zoth and a bit more synergy for him.

And yeah, fi anyone hasn't tried the brawl yet this week, it's REALLY fun.  It'll probably degenerate eventually like most of them do, but there's a lot of really fun things you can do, and the games often last a really long time.

I really thought I was going to get rekt with this deck after seeing how imbalanced it is, but I actually ended up going 10-3 with it. Arena is weird.

I also tried building some new shaman deck after failing with the control versions. Tried to stuff in enough early game to beat aggro decks and enough late game to beat control decks. Currently 8-4, but also played on my mobile while I was away and I think I got 6-3 or something like that. Not innovative or anything, but I tried to make use of the lotus illusionist card and I must say I quite like it. It can be used as removal bait as well and if I do get the effect it's pretty good most of the time (unless you get something like big time rocketeer or madam goya)

Finally did it again, took me longer and it was harder than the first time too.
