do you guys remember when a OP turn 7 was a 7/7 that spawned two 1/1 mech-bombs that could deal 1-4 damage to a random enemy target as a deathradle? PS: it was a neutral card... soooo... everyone could have it
You forgot to add that it's a 16/16 with rush. Or with Trump math, combining all this it's 22 mana worth of stuff + bundling cost so like 25 mana. But hey, it's so hard, because you need to play 3 activators for that, something that got you +6/+6 in the days of Old Gods.
@Dragon heart Secret Mage is manageable but the same can be said for big priest. Just run your Polymorphs or Hexes or play aggro and everything will be fine. There's no way Big Priest is the most disgusting wild deck in 2019.
He also would've won if Trump hadn't drawn the one card that gives him 20/18 rush to deal with a deathwing AND an 8/8 taunt AND a double-evolve on a 9 drop etc. Hunter only stayed in for that long, because he got really lucky with his hero play.
I have played this deck AND the quest version - and while the quest version does slightly worse than the non-quest version, the quest version takes a big ol’ dump on the non-quest version when they meet. And since more than half of all decks you meet are non-quest Gal-shaman, I’d say quest Gal-shaman is the best meta call atm.
Can't wait to get back into Hearthstone I wonder what new expansions they added 7 Mana summons 2 8/8 with rush you that's disgusting I'll just wait till it goes away
Who thought summoning a 2/1 was alright as an invoke? Who thought making the class with the easiest invokes was the best class to give the best Galakrond battlecry? WHO THOUGHT GIVING ALL OF THIS TO THE CLASS WITH SHUDDERWOK WAS OK?! BLIZZ, SHUDDER WASN'T BUSTED BEFORE, AND THE COMMINITY STILL HATED HIM. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! YOU MADE HIM META. WHY?
Shudderwock should have been hall of famed long time ago. It's the card I hate the most and has made me not buy any more expansions. It's basically non interactive, and works with all battlecries. Other cards that do this (such as nzoth or hunter hero) work only with deathrattles or spells, which is much more manageable. Really bad design as we keep seeing.
Anyone remember when a 1/1 for 2 mana every turn was considered the pinnacle of inevitably? Blizz love throwing insane stuff onto hero cards nowadays. Feels like they bundle rush onto 90% of cards nowadays too, it's a pretty good mechanic but it's starting to dominate the game to the point that feels like that's all there is now.
Galakrond Warrior here and I have no problem fighting them unless they draw insane early game. Their 0 attack minions die easily against the shear amount of rush, their token minions end up being fuel for frothing, and they have no heal or hard to remove taunt so damage sticks easy.
Looks like galakrond is the New dr boom. You keep a damn 7 drop in the Mulligan cause its that good. Only time you win against a shaman is when they dont draw galakrond fast enough.
Quest Hunter is at least a good counter to Galakrond Shaman. Shu'ma is a nice new card and the constant full board of cheap minions to finish the quest counters the Galakrond Shaman lack of AoE, plus the Leeroy+Unleash+Hero Power is an insane 10 mana burst burst. We all know the real counter to Galakrond Shaman is Galakrond Shaman and the inevitable nerfs incoming.

Galakrond shaman without any doubt, needs heavy nerfs
16:00 playing the novice engineer vs playing nothing is like having a 29 card deck without novice engineer vs a 30 card deck with it, the 29 card deck is better, so you play the engineer.

wow, I thought such shit can ever happen only in wild. like with snip-snap lock. but god I was so wrong. this deck is not even disgusting - it's a great visualization of pure essence of stupidity and unprofessionalism contained in the heads of the team who was responsible for playtesting this new expansion before release...
The best deck mechathun deck without the actual mechathun card. You play bloodbloom when you run out of cards and start emoting. They quit 100% of the time
It feels like they balanced all the shaman invoke cards without it creating a 2/1 rush and just tacked it on toward the end of development without revisiting stats or mana costs...
I actually had a quite high succes rate against this deck with a Zoo Galakrond Warlock deck. Often shaman lacks a bit of removal, and you just keep filling the boards with 1/1 that can be buffed.
I don't understand the Electra Stormsurge in the deck at all. Something like Barista Lynchen seems better to me for the control matchups where u need the extra greed or infinite shudderwock.
Most high rank versions of this deck run either Electra or Vargoth or both. Doubling any of the spells is way better than most of the other crap people try to fit in these decks. Double Farsight/Invocation of Frost/Dragon Pack is op.
Shaman was the only class where its Galakrond has strong synergy with its Uldum Quest, and Shudderwock is staple most shaman deck since the Witchwood, so heck yeah Shaman's Galakrond should be nerfed. Maybe by reducing Galakrond's battlecry to two 2/1 -> 4/2 -> 8/4 rush
Shaman was the only class out of 5 where its Galakrond and invoke cards has direct, powerful synergy with its Uldum Quest, and Shudderwock is staple most shaman deck since the Witchwood, so heck yeah Shaman's Galakrond should be nerfed. Well quest warrior also has direct synergy with its Galakrond, but the quest is too weak so it didn't matter much. Maybe by reducing Galakrond's battlecry to two 2/1 -> 4/2 -> 8/4 rush reducing Invoke twice reward
shaman wouldnt be that bad without shudderwok doing the battlecry of galakrond again. I hope they just hall of fame shudderwok and then the deck is fine or make it that shudder wok does the lvl 1 battlecry and not the level 3.
If 4 mana 7/7 Overload (3) was purposively busted to help shaman to be better in a meta, why does printing 4 mana 5/7 Spell damage +2 overload (2) is okay in a meta where Shaman is dominating?
Missed letal at 6:15 by not choosing to deal 5 to all minions and rushing the 2/1 on the ziliax, opponent would be ate 13 and he would have 16 on board
5 to all minions, so now he has two 8/3. Hero powers and rushed into Zill. Zill dies but heals from 14 to 17. Two 8/3 hit face for 16. Face is at 1. How does he do 1 more damage? I don't see it.
My hopes on the nerfs: change the faceless dude to 6 or even 7 mana. That guy is everywhere. Change the 2/1 Elemental to a 1/1 with "Has +1 attack the turn you summon it" and change the 5 mana shaman 3/3 card to a 4/3 that, just like every other invoke card, invokes once. Why is shaman the only class that has an "Invoke twice" card? Change the dragon spirit summon thingie to +1/+1 I dunno. Maybe. :P
It's the rush that's bad. Remove rush and most of the tempo goes to the opponent. They get the good trades and the Shaman doesn't decide which goes where; without it, the enemy can decide how to deal with the crap you put out. The rush feels the same with the Dr. Boom hero card, rush gives tempo which lets you control the board. The exception is the 8/8s and the 5/6s which are good with or without rush. The stats are too much, I agree
I have a quick question since I don’t have Electra storm surge what card would be good to swap for. I was thinking earthshock to counter the 5/6 taunts however I’m thinking of mc tech as well. The battle cry package with life drinkers and barista is not half bad as well but is incredibly greedy
Shaman id gonna get destroyed no use in building any more cards for it, but since i have no respect for Shaman players please do craft a useless Legendary
How is Galakrond Shaman gonna get nerfed? Because, with that play/winrate, it's probably gonna get nerfed, but how? Making the 2/1 rushes become 1/1 rushes seems good to me, but that's without thinking of the consequences. I think the "invoke twice" card is the most problematic card in the deck, since a 3/3 that comes with a 4/2 rush AND progresses Galakrond a full stage just seems busted to me. Thoughts?
The hunter missed lethal by trying to get a draw off of ursatron when he played Deathwing. The interaction did not work and he could've used the mana to get Trump to 1 health to set up lethal the next turn.
I actually prefer the version with the quest. This one is better against more aggro oriented decks, but the quest version is basically better against everything else, including the mirror. And since half of the ppl are playing shaman, having the best matchup against mirror is basically winning half of your games. The only time i lost against mirror with the quest was because i didnt draw either galakrond or shudderwock and my oponnent had both.
I dont really see why you'd exclude the quest anyway, you dont have turn 1 plays with this deck other than freeze or sludge so it's not really hindering you in any way imo. Maybe one less card in mulligan but is that even that big of a price to pay for the reward?
@@cryoape7833 Yes, having one less card in the mulligan is a massive deal in a deck that REALLY wants to hit certain cards before their opponent. When the mirror is decided by who hits a full Galakrond first, who cares about the Quest. Statistics show that the Quest version is just inferior in all of the relevant match-ups, including the mirror. You don't need it, it's just redundant because 99% of the time you're going to use something else to win.
This sh*t is why I quit the game a while ago. Bliz keeps raising the powerlevel of cards over the course of a season till a point where some cards are simply busted beyond good and evil and the games come down to who draws his OP card first. Those kinda expansions really ruin the game in any way possible.
People don't realize that if it weren't for quest being so overwhelming because of generating resources, heal/control shaman absolutely counters this deck. People just hate control but I do win 50 percent
Spirit wall priest can counter it too pretty well... If it gets removal needs to clear table, so like 50/50 But SW priest more often loses to warrior and rogue i suppose, as they have a bit more tempo, but still can win if he get what he needs (main trouble is draw quantity in late game) These endless 3/4 taunts with rebirth are obnoxious, opponents often concede when they are left without a card BUT, SE priest is 100% LOSS to Shirvalla paladin
missed lethal at 6:26 he could have dealt five damage to all, attacked with the 2/1 rush into zilliax, and he had 16 damage on board to kill the hunter
Nerf list for Shaman: make corrupted elementalist 6 manna 2/2 make faceless corrupter a 4/4 make dragon pack on a two invoke giveaway only +2/2 make Shaman Galakrond summon 1/1 2/2 and 4/4. This might make them too weak and Hunter to strong but we’ll see
I wonder what the nerf will be. Raise the cost of Galakrond? That'd be inconsistent with other Galakronds. It'll likely stay on 7 mana. Nerfing its effect? Maybe. But what is the nerf going to be? Smaller minions from Galakrond? Propably. Galakrond minions don't have Rush? Likely. (Priest galak destroys 4 minions, Shaman does the same with quest but also leaves giant bodies) Nerfed invoke? No Rush? Invoke being summon 1/1s? That's also likely. Or maybe all of the above, nuking this deck into a meme deck level. I like this deck, those 2/1 rush invokes is what keeps me going vs all those damn face aggro decks. But those 8/8 elementals upon play might be too much, not every class has AOE board clear capable of clearing four 8/8s which is enough to OTK from full health.
So proud about this hunter he did what he could
*Did
Toxic Cacti yeah my english sucks 😅
He shoulda waited for Shudder to summon deathwing
@@BushSage ikr he can hit the 3/3 and hero power the 4/2 leave trump to deal with his 8/8. why deathwing knowing that could deal with shudderwock

Remember kids, shaman’s “weakness” is card generation
So the Dev give shaman invoke cards that out-tempo aggro decks and quest that out-value slow decks
The problem is this deck seems to be generating more cards than most classes
The problem is 2 5,6 taunts with 0 overload & that stupid invoke twice card
idk where you got that, shaman has never ever had an issue with card generation for as long as I've played

Well quest warrior also has direct synergy with its Galakrond, but the quest is too weak so it didn't matter much.
Maybe by reducing Galakrond's battlecry to two 2/1 -> 4/2 -> 8/4 rush reducing Invoke twice reward
I swear to god Galakrond has a 100% chance of being in trump's opening hand
Look at his win rate. The games he showed were the ones where that happened.
I like cult master instead of mana tide because it draws cards instantly.
I was SCREAMING for that hunter to win
Missed lethal 6:13. Hero power and taunt invoke trade both into taunt minion then both 8:8 go face
I think it was Dexter that figured out that quest hunter can beat G. Shaman.
Love the variety in this game, lets go HS ya the best game
oh, shaman is strong again? cool it's been a long time since shaman got some love
Wait till he tries to cut kronx from the deck
Are we going to be seeing battle grounds still? I wouldn't mind seeing more of it even with the new expansion
*Drops by Trump's channel to see if now is a good time to get back into Hearthstone.
"The oceans stir, and the heavens cry!"
*NOPE
2016 pirate warrior will forever be the strongest deck in hearthstone
Seeing trump play this deck is like watching absolute evil
shaman wouldnt be that bad without shudderwok doing the battlecry of galakrond again. I hope they just hall of fame shudderwok and then the deck is fine or make it that shudder wok does the lvl 1 battlecry and not the level 3.
WHY DO THEY RUSH?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE
my thoughts exactly. 2 8/8 is fine but rush is too much. If they wanna keep rush 2 6/6 would be more balanced.
SchneeLI no that wouldnt be balanced either LUL
Go easy on blizzard they're a small indie company
That would be more balanced but wouldn't work with the doubling effect
Kitten in A bag it would be more balanced but let's not kid ourselves here, it wouldn't solve the issue of the invoke being too good
If 4 mana 7/7 Overload (3) was purposively busted to help shaman to be better in a meta, why does printing 4 mana 5/7 Spell damage +2 overload (2) is okay in a meta where Shaman is dominating?
Didnt he miss lethal at 6:13 ??
Whenever I see Galakrond Shaman I take a shot every time.
Missed letal at 6:15 by not choosing to deal 5 to all minions and rushing the 2/1 on the ziliax, opponent would be ate 13 and he would have 16 on board
5 to all minions, so now he has two 8/3. Hero powers and rushed into Zill. Zill dies but heals from 14 to 17. Two 8/3 hit face for 16. Face is at 1.
How does he do 1 more damage? I don't see it.
@@gamemad999 srry, u r right
I wanted that hunter to win so bad first game, first time rooting against trump in a video
Blizzard should just immediately move Shamans Galakrond to Wild and nerf Faceless Corrupter& Necrium Apothecary. This meta is not ok
If they nerf necrium apothecary but don’t nerf every single new shaman card ima have a problem
That's not an idiotic statement or anything, lmao
My hopes on the nerfs: change the faceless dude to 6 or even 7 mana. That guy is everywhere.
Change the 2/1 Elemental to a 1/1 with "Has +1 attack the turn you summon it" and change the 5 mana shaman 3/3 card to a 4/3 that, just like every other invoke card, invokes once. Why is shaman the only class that has an "Invoke twice" card?
Change the dragon spirit summon thingie to +1/+1
I dunno. Maybe. :P
It's the rush that's bad. Remove rush and most of the tempo goes to the opponent. They get the good trades and the Shaman doesn't decide which goes where; without it, the enemy can decide how to deal with the crap you put out. The rush feels the same with the Dr. Boom hero card, rush gives tempo which lets you control the board. The exception is the 8/8s and the 5/6s which are good with or without rush. The stats are too much, I agree
I have a quick question since I don’t have Electra storm surge what card would be good to swap for. I was thinking earthshock to counter the 5/6 taunts however I’m thinking of mc tech as well. The battle cry package with life drinkers and barista is not half bad as well but is incredibly greedy
Shaman id gonna get destroyed no use in building any more cards for it, but since i have no respect for Shaman players please do craft a useless Legendary
mc tech is pretty strong right now, most decks you'll play against have 4 minions on board a decent amount of the time.
Watching that hunter do so fucking well and then fail because of the overwhelming value Galakrond was giving him hurt my soul. I'm less human now.
How is Galakrond Shaman gonna get nerfed? Because, with that play/winrate, it's probably gonna get nerfed, but how? Making the 2/1 rushes become 1/1 rushes seems good to me, but that's without thinking of the consequences. I think the "invoke twice" card is the most problematic card in the deck, since a 3/3 that comes with a 4/2 rush AND progresses Galakrond a full stage just seems busted to me. Thoughts?
The hunter missed lethal by trying to get a draw off of ursatron when he played Deathwing. The interaction did not work and he could've used the mana to get Trump to 1 health to set up lethal the next turn.
Damn I was cooking with this comment lmao
I actually prefer the version with the quest. This one is better against more aggro oriented decks, but the quest version is basically better against everything else, including the mirror. And since half of the ppl are playing shaman, having the best matchup against mirror is basically winning half of your games. The only time i lost against mirror with the quest was because i didnt draw either galakrond or shudderwock and my oponnent had both.
I dont really see why you'd exclude the quest anyway, you dont have turn 1 plays with this deck other than freeze or sludge so it's not really hindering you in any way imo. Maybe one less card in mulligan but is that even that big of a price to pay for the reward?
@@cryoape7833 Yes, having one less card in the mulligan is a massive deal in a deck that REALLY wants to hit certain cards before their opponent. When the mirror is decided by who hits a full Galakrond first, who cares about the Quest.
Statistics show that the Quest version is just inferior in all of the relevant match-ups, including the mirror. You don't need it, it's just redundant because 99% of the time you're going to use something else to win.
In HS, villainously broken stuff asks rethorical questions.
Lu666Ka600AA Who am I?
10:02 Can someone explain me that Jumbo Imp?
~Aww... the effect on that card that make spells go twice is a battlecry, I forgot...
You got it, Electra Stormsurge.
I built this deck and it is a monster for sure TY trump
This sh*t is why I quit the game a while ago. Bliz keeps raising the powerlevel of cards over the course of a season till a point where some cards are simply busted beyond good and evil and the games come down to who draws his OP card first. Those kinda expansions really ruin the game in any way possible.
Anonym I feel so completely justified quitting
People don't realize that if it weren't for quest being so overwhelming because of generating resources, heal/control shaman absolutely counters this deck. People just hate control but I do win 50 percent
Spirit wall priest can counter it too pretty well...
If it gets removal needs to clear table, so like 50/50
But SW priest more often loses to warrior and rogue i suppose, as they have a bit more tempo, but still can win if he get what he needs (main trouble is draw quantity in late game)
These endless 3/4 taunts with rebirth are obnoxious, opponents often concede when they are left without a card
BUT, SE priest is 100% LOSS to Shirvalla paladin
missed lethal at 6:26 he could have dealt five damage to all, attacked with the 2/1 rush into zilliax, and he had 16 damage on board to kill the hunter
Zil has lifesteal he's one off
Is galakrond shaman worth crafting with the impending nerfs?
That first game was so good.
Nerf list for Shaman: make corrupted elementalist 6 manna 2/2 make faceless corrupter a 4/4 make dragon pack on a two invoke giveaway only +2/2 make Shaman Galakrond summon 1/1 2/2 and 4/4. This might make them too weak and Hunter to strong but we’ll see
If it makes anyone feel better for watching trump play this deck, he got a bunch of grief playing this on stream
I wonder what the nerf will be.
Raise the cost of Galakrond? That'd be inconsistent with other Galakronds. It'll likely stay on 7 mana.
Nerfing its effect? Maybe. But what is the nerf going to be?
Smaller minions from Galakrond? Propably.
Galakrond minions don't have Rush? Likely. (Priest galak destroys 4 minions, Shaman does the same with quest but also leaves giant bodies)
Nerfed invoke? No Rush? Invoke being summon 1/1s? That's also likely.
Or maybe all of the above, nuking this deck into a meme deck level.
I like this deck, those 2/1 rush invokes is what keeps me going vs all those damn face aggro decks. But those 8/8 elementals upon play might be too much, not every class has AOE board clear capable of clearing four 8/8s which is enough to OTK from full health.
Missing the secret OP Bandersmosh.
@9:12: Shouldn't the hunter hero power face instead? Pretty much guarantees lethal next turn unless shaman runs has heal.
Rank 5 plays.
Am i a bad person for loving Galakrond Shaman?
Im just waiting for Blizzard to nerf it so i can decide if it's worth crafting, but i really want to :D
If you need more draw in the deck, why not run Questing Explorer and the Quest?
