Random / disorganized is more the feel.

Highest i've been is 11. Drops are much more predictable, but matches are also longer.

Everyone is trying to craft a C'thun based deck - it's very susceptible to face decks and it seems people are overdoing their minions - they can't clear the board; no deck synergy.

Not at all. The 2 and 3 drops deal with early aggro perfectly, and the taunts that buff c'thun are even better

Well, can only comment on what i'm seeing so far. I coasted to my wins in standard using a really basic face hunter as my opponents kept buffing a 14/14 c'thun that they never got to drop. I tried to craft my own c'thun deck (granted, I don't have any of his taunt buffers yet) and I got owned.

Buffing C'thun isn't just about C'thun, there's other cards that benefit from having a C'thun buffed:

But not only that, the early drops are just stat'ed really well:

These are just the neutral stuff, too. Face really isn't the place, anymore.

That Twin Emperor is a solid card.

It looks like Shaman has had a massive boost as well with some great cards. Master of Evolution is killer!

I haven't messed around with shaman yet. The game feels fresh, though. There's a lot to tinker with.

So far, I've found that it's actually control decks that crush C'thun, warrior in particular. Warrior doesn't care about your 20/20 C'thun with 30+ armor

Try Shields Up! and tell me why these Blizzard folk keep making Paladin overpowered.

With a C'Thun based deck?

A deck where the win condition you're working towards is C'thun. These decks will drop minions that buff C'thun.

As an aside, your deck shouldn't have too many hard to achieve win conditions.

How often are you finishing it w/o even dropping him?

I have a question. If your Tirion gets hexed or sheeped, does it count as him dying? Will he be revived with nzoth?

Assuming it's a similar logic as applied to deathrattle minions that are hexed/sheeped; i'd think no. Meaning - when Malorne is hexed, he doesn't go back in your deck.

Right. But that's because of he deathrattle actually not being able to happen. This is bringing a minion back to life through a battlecry.

if Tirion or Sylvanas is hexed or morphed, then they are completely denied from coming back. But I don't think losing one or both of those two is a deal killer.

The majority of decks now are gimmicky. Might as well bring in Saraad into your decks.

I was surprised to see a new animation for my gold Druid of the Claw when dropping him when I had Fandral Staghelm on the board (your Choose One cards have both effects combined). Fandral is a fun card, it makes Raven Idol and Ancient of War epic cards!
