This. If you're running 2x Firefly and 2x Igneous you should always keep a Flame Elemental around to proc your later elementals.

Even though it's kind of curvestoney, you need to outvalue your opponent. You can give up tempo once in a while (especially if you have a weapon or taunt) and hero power instead of playing a tempo servant of Kalimos. And once you get to turns 6+ you should usually have options.

Also found it very tough to proc with any consistency in arena. I think I've been under valuing the cheap elementals though because when you are able to hit blazecaller and the discover guy it's real huge value.

Honest hearthstone cards: Swashburgler 1 mana spell: get a random card from your opponents class summon a 3/4 beast for your opponent.

Might have to replace it with hallucination in my cthun rogue, everytime it wrecks me

Coining dirty rat on turn 1 has to be the hearthstone equivalent of limping with aces

I may just go full zetalot this expansion, priest is so fun!

I play mostly priest and I love that there are some many viable archetypes this expansion: dragons, quest, silence, miracle... I finally crafted Lyra and it's my new favorite card. I might also craft Elise and try to make some stupid Raza deck work.

Fair enough

But this guy coins one out t1 and gets my grandma. I adapt poison, kill it. He plays ANOTHER dirty rat, gets my highmane

He kept both in mulligan and tossed quest. This is rank 1 lol

LOL triple Ragnaros Lightlord and top-deck Aldor to deal with a ramp druid's Deathwing.

Almost felt bad for the guy.

Really?? The first thing I thought of when I saw that card. I would run holy fire and mind control in the same deck, whatever ****ed up deck that would be

I think some kind of weird form of shadow priest could work. Shadow/control, with the visions card you can guarantee your shadow

this is off the top of my head:

I stupidly crafted glimmerroot before realizing thoughtsteal is better in this type of spell centric deck. might flash heal over the binding heal but I want to see how that is. I also want doomsayers. Maybe cut the sorc apprentices

Or maybe just run 1.

Two truesilvers is super clunky with multiple tirions

I'm trying it, not sure yet. You know, when you're playing a paladin, one of the worst things is that they always have TS on turn 4, so not always having it is a little weird. But I see your point.

I've played a couple of jade druids now, and it sure seems they are pretty easy to handle, it's a very predictable deck of course. Just confirms the sick value in this paladin deck.

ya, I think it's a must in hunter and maybe even aggro warrior. Definitely in Druid.

It lost me a game at 10 wins in arena. Guy had one and a 1/1 token. Had to take rhe 50/50 deadly and missed. It went face and got windfury and then divine shield. Next turn gets +3 and +3 attack and I still couldn't kill it.
