its actually ok for f2p player if you play 2-3 classes. I play almost exclusively Rogue, Mage and Hunter so im pretty much free to dust anything else and it's enough to build decks for those classes just from things i get as f2p. I only spent money several times in my life - for 2 adventures and once for the Wild megabundle which was like 60 packs for 30 euros. There's a good chance to get some nice DE value as they do nerf cards quite often and if you happen to get one of those overpowered legendaries you have free 1,6k dust.

@@whitaker_ I play totem shaman in high diamond/legend. Its a cheap deck with a high win rate. Sadly it is kind of gimmicky as a lot of the time im relying on my opponents not recognizing how to play against it and what combos I draw drastically impacts the early threat I can generate. I think in total I've had two games against shaman in high ranked the last two months, so its definitely an unpopular/bad choice but there are ways to play it.
@@whitaker_ Honestly, Shaman has always been a trash class, you've kinda screwed yourself there.

I think this is the biggest distinction between Big mage/druid cards and big warlock/warrior cards. A: Warlock has the tools available to battle aggro and tempo much better than mage and druid. They have more removal than the threats mage and druid can provide. Also, their win condition is far more impactful than a board presence. B: Warrior also has those tools available alongside having the ability to have a nice tempo game. They have more survivability and there are other cards that fit the archetype, giving them enough time to prepare their own wave of threats. Their hero power also fits this game plan, where mage and druid have more aggressive/tempoy hero powers.
Individually I think some of the new cards are quite good but them all being released together would only work if Shaman had multiple successful archtypes right now but they don't.
Shamen needs a good deck with shamen flavour all the overpowerd decks have been completely separate mechanics to normal shamen. I want to see a overlord shamen deck an evolve shamen a good totem shamen. Not a demo Hunter shamen. They just pick an other type of cards that go together get her but not at all with the old cards each expension that just does not make it on its own.
I 100% think you are under rating cagematch. The best Shaman deck, which is teir 2-3 is evolve shaman, and it is drooling over being able to run fetch cards for the only weapon they run.... The weapon that is so good, you increase your win rate by running the pirate that returns it from the graveyard.
Free admission might be playable in control warlock too. 3 mana draw 2 is okay in control, but since you're running fire breather/tickatus you've got some chance of the -1 mana draw 2. Plus midway maniac and manari mosher are both excellent anti aggro cards in the right situation.

i just have one question for the carnival clown y'shaarj combo. what do you cast to corrupt the clown so you can then bring it back with y'shaarj? and at that point if you cast 4+ 10 mana spells there is a good chance you won the game anyway. it's cute and a shit ton of value but any situation where you can do it you have probably won already unless your in some kind of really intense value control match.
@13:15 Trump missed that Free Admission can hit Tickatus, especially with a low minion count, making it easier to Corrupt by both bringing it to hand sooner and reducing its cost, depending on build.
@@babystickman0 in the video 1 minute after CC he literally says hes giving dunk tank, "which is probably going to be in a tier 4 or a Y'Shaarj deck that ultimately wont work", 2 stars.

I only have one BIG problem with your control warlock is how da hell do you corrupt cascading disater twice and Tickatus which garbo 7+ card are you gonna play to corrupt him?
As a main Warrior and Warlock player I'm very happy with this expansion. Tickatus and the Old Gods will be very fun to play (I was already playing an off meta Quest/Big/PlotTwist Warlock) and Sword Eater is completely busted for Warrior !
Does anyone know if Corrupt clears hand buffs if you buff and then Corrupt? Because Carnival Clown + Feat of Strength seems like someone's going to try to make a combo.
Really looking forward to new Control Warlock. Really reminds me of the good old days of Kobolds and Catacombs, with my Rin, the First Disciple Control Warlock deck...except Ticktus is WAY more practical (though way less cool, to be fair).
what about c'thun rogue in the galakrond deck ? there's no way c'thun rogue is viable by itself but I believe the galakrond package is strong enough to make it work, it has a lot of cost reduction and draws a lot
@@somerandomgamer8504 Ahw too bad. Have a golden doomhammer that has just been sitting in the collection gathering dust since first month of release :/
I was looking at the collection because I thought it might be tough to corrupt Tickatus. There aren't too many 7+ cost cards you wanna run in Warlock right now. The best one is Malicia with the Soul Fragment package. If the meta slows down because of the Old Gods, Twisting Nether will probably be good. But what else could you run? Siamat saw play in Highlander decks, but probably isn't good enough here. Maybe you could run Valdris Felgorge because you don't have to worry about losing in fatigue, but it's not anti-aggro. Is Galakrond good enough to play?
Revenant Rascal seems like you could run it for the same reason decks run Cult Neophyte. Costs 1 more mana but it stops minions as well (could prob stop some big taunt turns, healing minions, or other big value stuff). For zoo I don't think losing the mana crystal will be that important most of the time anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if it saw play to stop stuff like khartut defender or even just minions that have AOE on them (netherwing, Barov combos, idk).
I went genuinely undefeated from rank 10 to legend with etc combo war. That deck has patron written all over it to me. Super high skill cap but absolutely insane.
I mean, if you predict that many control decks will be a thing you should give Y'shaaraj Shaman more credit. But yeah, you are completely right about the other cards. People remember Defile because of Kobolds and Catacombs, not Knights of the Frozen Throne (and because of how cool it is, but that's besides the point).
If Yshaarj and Felosophy is overkill with Tickatus, wouldn't Yshaarj be the one you cut first? Is it really worth paying 9 extra mana and being extremely unflexible for just a few other corrupted minions that aren't part of the game plan?
Doesn't enchantment shaman fit in with Spell shaman though? I can see a decent tier 2 deck with Spell damage + enchantment synergies. Also, Totem shaman isn't trash, not great but not trash. It can win quite consistently.
@@aronb.1273 totem shaman is only tier 2 in gold. It's like a tier 5 in diamond and above because it relies on a heavy snowball with your opponent having zero answers in the early game.
Gonna try to make a hyper aggro deck with all these creatures that deal direct dmg to opponent when they come into play or leave play. Wonder if theres enough now after this expansion.. either hunter or mage, I think.
I fear that Tickatus is stuck in a lose-lose situation(despite it probably having the most unique affect for the game in a while). It will either: 1) Be too slow and be utter trash 2) Be too strong, become "overly oppressive" to players who want to "play the game" and be nerfed, hopfully not into the ground. I can see Blizzard nerfing it to removing 3 cards perhaps.
I think cagematch custodian is a 2 stars because almost every shaman deck can benefit of it and will see play maybe at leasr one copy for every two weapons
I thought sword eater was spellburst, as a battlecry it is nuts, it will the first card to be nerfed since your win rate will go through the roof when played on curve.
Stupid question, but how do you even corrupt Tickatus? I don't see many 7+ cost card that you can really play before Tickatus apart from twisting nether.
Cagematch is still a weapon tutor and most of shaman deck played right now is depends on drawing the weapon, so it will be played. At least give it 3 star, it will be in almost all shaman deck even though the deck is not tier 1
The double clown into Yshaarj into two more clowns dream is nice, but since Trump seems to only be playing Yshaarj in that deck I'm curious what his plan is to corrupt them and how consistent he thinks that can be
I caught that to! I think with that, the new amalgam with taunt and the 8 mana mech that copies itself we could have a solid menagerie taunt control warrior!
Thought the same thing, then i though "how bad do I really need fist most of the time" and "would I be ok with a dead 2/2" lol. Neutral cards will have to be our control shaman saviors. Rotate hagatha hero back in pls blizz
Inara Stormcraft is not limited to Enhancement Shaman at all. It's' just an overall great card. It totally will help Control Shaman's viability. And it will definitely see play. It's at least 3 stars. Pit Master doesn't belong in Enhancement Shaman. It's just a token Shaman card. And honestly looks pretty darn strong, at worst it's a 3 mana 4/4, but if it's corrupted it's a 3 mana 6/5. It has nothing with attacking with your weapon.
I think he's sleeping on Shaman. I was watching Firebat blow any deck out of the water with all the removal, and tutoring the spell damage weapon to help with removal was enough to outlast many aggro decks.. Its a little to early to call though... might chalk up those victories to people playing less than ideal decks for experimentation.
Same, I´m also more optimistic about stuff like secret mage for example. He blows it out of the window, but I think with arcane flakmage to stop aggro, the 4 mana 4/4 that copies itself, cloudprince etc this could be at least a semi viable deck. slot in yogg as a finisher and you are probably good to go while having fun along the way
I believe you underestimate the potency of the devolve/revolve with this new set. If indeed the meta evolves (eheh) toward something with more control decks, which are the most likely to make use of the corrupt cards, then this is a good thing for shaman. Because even when they are evolved, these creatures most of the time huge stats for their mana cost; making it really strong to devolve or even just revolve them. I know, a lot of them just make an additional effect or summon multiple things, but things such as the elephant, fairground fool, etc will be very sad to be changed and this is making the shaman kit a little better. Although I admit I dislike this enhancement shaman stuff x)
How exactly you corrupt carnival clown in warrior in real match? I watched your game against regis, you corrupt it with n'zoth or yogg, but in real match you might can't play all the 4 gods, that's pretty unrealistic.. How you build your deck to make corrupted carnival clown viable?
But I can see carnival clown be played in druid though.. Druid can ramp pretty fast and survival to the fittest corrupted the clown while buffing it.. You just focusing on how you ramp fast and draw fast (maybe with dragon breath and couple of dragon, also the eclipses cards)
Things that shaman NEED: Significantly better early game, Something overpowered (much like every other class), Anti Aggro (and not just healing). That's it. Yup. Hearthstone why.
What's funny about this review is that not only was Trump wrong about Shaman not having enough tools, but also wrong about eyesore because that card single handedly made totem shaman a low tier1/high tier 2 deck
i Think Trump is doubting quest shaman a little bit. 6 mana 8 damage anywhere you want including face is not small damage. You play a single one, then play 1 yashraj along with the hero power is another 16 damage. Enemy hero's only have 30 hp total, so I can see a burn shaman deck showing up with yashraj being just how they finish off control decks.
Is Trump reviews trump reviews gonna make a comeback? I really enjoy that series :(

Siamat saw play in Highlander decks, but probably isn't good enough here. Maybe you could run Valdris Felgorge because you don't have to worry about losing in fatigue, but it's not anti-aggro. Is Galakrond good enough to play?
Alexstraza and dragon package could be a good addition.
Doesn’t bomb warrior just kill Warlock?
Yes because warrior are blizzards favourite class
5:24 Evenlock??
Literally just finished the last one. Cheers, Trump 🍻
Why would you not include free admission into control warlock to fetch your win condition?
I’m thinking of adding waxadred to value rogue and copying it with scheme. Maybe shekzara will have some better use
Revenant Rascal seems like you could run it for the same reason decks run Cult Neophyte. Costs 1 more mana but it stops minions as well (could prob stop some big taunt turns, healing minions, or other big value stuff). For zoo I don't think losing the mana crystal will be that important most of the time anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if it saw play to stop stuff like khartut defender or even just minions that have AOE on them (netherwing, Barov combos, idk).
I went genuinely undefeated from rank 10 to legend with etc combo war. That deck has patron written all over it to me. Super high skill cap but absolutely insane.
Please speak about the new tavern pass man
I mean, if you predict that many control decks will be a thing you should give Y'shaaraj Shaman more credit. But yeah, you are completely right about the other cards. People remember Defile because of Kobolds and Catacombs, not Knights of the Frozen Throne (and because of how cool it is, but that's besides the point).
If Yshaarj and Felosophy is overkill with Tickatus, wouldn't Yshaarj be the one you cut first? Is it really worth paying 9 extra mana and being extremely unflexible for just a few other corrupted minions that aren't part of the game plan?
Have you ever noticed all the stars in the background when he’s giving stars to all the cards.
Isn’t there a new all minion type minion? The totem deck maybe a meme but I think it deserves some science before stamping 1 star on eyesore totem.
Doesn't enchantment shaman fit in with Spell shaman though? I can see a decent tier 2 deck with Spell damage + enchantment synergies. Also, Totem shaman isn't trash, not great but not trash. It can win quite consistently.
yeah idk what hes talking about lol. HSreplay has totem shaman at tier 2 and theyve got a 50%+ winrate.
@@aronb.1273 totem shaman is only tier 2 in gold. It's like a tier 5 in diamond and above because it relies on a heavy snowball with your opponent having zero answers in the early game.
would like a reson for you calling c'thun rouge trash. looks super good with stowaway
Gonna try to make a hyper aggro deck with all these creatures that deal direct dmg to opponent when they come into play or leave play. Wonder if theres enough now after this expansion.. either hunter or mage, I think.
after hyping up Sword Eater, Trump missed the turn 3-4 curve with Feat of Strength -> Sword Eater which could be kinda sick
Fre adamition works Well in control warlock aswell, helps you with corrupting
Tickatus.
Insert snarky remark about trump rating cards 1 star so they’ll be played here
Malevolent also works with ticket
I wonder if VentureCo Merc and Mana wraith will see meme potential with corrupting "on curve" with similar cost minions 🤔
7:29
Well, damn! I kinda feel like the last time Shaman was any good was before the Shudderwock nerf... What gives? How long ago WAS that?!?
You forget the dark days of uldum
Don't forget Galakrond Shaman.
@@basilord Galakrond Shaman USED Shudderwock, and was part of the same Standard Set.
Would love to play some control warlock, would in wild but so expensive
Every time he gave a whole buch 1 star his image gets slightly colorless for a moment. The spirits are with him.
I fear that Tickatus is stuck in a lose-lose situation(despite it probably having the most unique affect for the game in a while). It will either:
1) Be too slow and be utter trash
2) Be too strong, become "overly oppressive" to players who want to "play the game" and be nerfed, hopfully not into the ground.
I can see Blizzard nerfing it to removing 3 cards perhaps.
I think he was printed only to be a solution to old gods deck. Imagine removing something like N'zoth from enemy deck, it will completely screw them.
I think he could be good in some Soul based deck
I think cagematch custodian is a 2 stars because almost every shaman deck can benefit of it and will see play maybe at leasr one copy for every two weapons
I thought sword eater was spellburst, as a battlecry it is nuts, it will the first card to be nerfed since your win rate will go through the roof when played on curve.
Wait, how do you Corrupt the Clown in the first place, without playing Y'Shaarj ?
in his stream yesterday when he record this, he uses scrapyard colossus to corrupt it in his theorycraft deck.
Stupid question, but how do you even corrupt Tickatus? I don't see many 7+ cost card that you can really play before Tickatus apart from twisting nether.
Why do I grind for 1000 wins on shaman
Cagematch is still a weapon tutor and most of shaman deck played right now is depends on drawing the weapon, so it will be played. At least give it 3 star, it will be in almost all shaman deck even though the deck is not tier 1
Defile was in a tier 3 deck? We just gunna ignore cubelock?
When it came out in Knights of the Frozen Throne yes it was, cubelock happened in Kobolds and Catacombs literally a full expansion later
The double clown into Yshaarj into two more clowns dream is nice, but since Trump seems to only be playing Yshaarj in that deck I'm curious what his plan is to corrupt them and how consistent he thinks that can be
Sooo, am I the only one who notices turn 3 Feat of Strength unto Sword Eater makes into a 7/10 that gives you a war ax?
I caught that to! I think with that, the new amalgam with taunt and the 8 mana mech that copies itself we could have a solid menagerie taunt control warrior!
@@ganymede19 dont forgot clown
Trump, you have forgotten the Cagematch Custodian --> Fist of Ra'den combo. Easy 5 star card.
Thought the same thing, then i though "how bad do I really need fist most of the time" and "would I be ok with a dead 2/2" lol. Neutral cards will have to be our control shaman saviors. Rotate hagatha hero back in pls blizz
Inara Stormcraft is not limited to Enhancement Shaman at all. It's' just an overall great card. It totally will help Control Shaman's viability. And it will definitely see play. It's at least 3 stars.
Pit Master doesn't belong in Enhancement Shaman. It's just a token Shaman card. And honestly looks pretty darn strong, at worst it's a 3 mana 4/4, but if it's corrupted it's a 3 mana 6/5. It has nothing with attacking with your weapon.
I think he's sleeping on Shaman. I was watching Firebat blow any deck out of the water with all the removal, and tutoring the spell damage weapon to help with removal was enough to outlast many aggro decks.. Its a little to early to call though... might chalk up those victories to people playing less than ideal decks for experimentation.
Same, I´m also more optimistic about stuff like secret mage for example. He blows it out of the window, but I think with arcane flakmage to stop aggro, the 4 mana 4/4 that copies itself, cloudprince etc this could be at least a semi viable deck. slot in yogg as a finisher and you are probably good to go while having fun along the way
The Mad Man returns with some Mad gameplay of cards!
*whispers* at the Darkk Moon Faire
Even Trump doesn't have faith in value rogue FeelsBad
Man last time shaman was good was when? - 4mana 7/7? Shudderwock pre nerv?
Don't forget prenerf quest and prenerf galakrond.
The weapon tutor for shaman can the fist. Def viable in control shaman
Way better than one star regardless how you split it
@@PKzenn doesn't matter how good the card is if the class is so bad that it doesn't see viable play
I believe you underestimate the potency of the devolve/revolve with this new set.
If indeed the meta evolves (eheh) toward something with more control decks, which are the most likely to make use of the corrupt cards, then this is a good thing for shaman.
Because even when they are evolved, these creatures most of the time huge stats for their mana cost; making it really strong to devolve or even just revolve them.
I know, a lot of them just make an additional effect or summon multiple things, but things such as the elephant, fairground fool, etc will be very sad to be changed and this is making the shaman kit a little better.
Although I admit I dislike this enhancement shaman stuff x)
Is it me, or has this set had a lot of 1 star cards in this year?
How exactly you corrupt carnival clown in warrior in real match? I watched your game against regis, you corrupt it with n'zoth or yogg, but in real match you might can't play all the 4 gods, that's pretty unrealistic.. How you build your deck to make corrupted carnival clown viable?
But I can see carnival clown be played in druid though.. Druid can ramp pretty fast and survival to the fittest corrupted the clown while buffing it.. You just focusing on how you ramp fast and draw fast (maybe with dragon breath and couple of dragon, also the eclipses cards)
I miss cubelock, gimme this control warlock bundle
What's going to corrupt the clown tho?
Things that shaman NEED:
Significantly better early game,
Something overpowered (much like every other class),
Anti Aggro (and not just healing).
That's it. Yup.
Hearthstone why.
I have a feeling the higher cost corrupt cards are gonna end up sucking and the lower cost ones might be decent.
Tickatus best legendary of the set !
I think shaman needs a rework. I feel like there's no problem with the cards they give them, but they do not synergise with the shaman base kit
What's funny about this review is that not only was Trump wrong about Shaman not having enough tools, but also wrong about eyesore because that card single handedly made totem shaman a low tier1/high tier 2 deck
Wait how does Control Warlock win against Control Galakrond Priest with only Tickatus and Y’Shaarj when Priest can generate infinite minions?
10 fatigue cards is just too much even for infinite-value priest. And you always has a chance to burn galakrond
Tickatus gets rekt by Archivist Elysiana tho
i Think Trump is doubting quest shaman a little bit. 6 mana 8 damage anywhere you want including face is not small damage. You play a single one, then play 1 yashraj along with the hero power is another 16 damage. Enemy hero's only have 30 hp total, so I can see a burn shaman deck showing up with yashraj being just how they finish off control decks.
