"lawl shaman" became "ah fuck, shaman"

[@georgewright615]

Brandon Pirtle ‘lawl’ into ‘stall’ you mean

[@kaylee42900]

I like OTKs but the animation length on seeing the end result from this one is just way too long.

[@alicemalice2597]

_How long can this go on?_

[@ElBandito]

Is this the new "EEEEEVERYONE, GET IN HERE!" voice spam?

[@frostpixel7930]

Yes, yes it is.

[@crnodete]

Fun and interactive.

[@hertig71]

crno dete its an otk combo that needs grumble, 1 mana murmuring, shudderwock and lifedrinker and turns to setup, so its ok

[@LastSider]

Theres no disruption to this deck.

[@LastSider]

Sad state of affairs in Hearthstone.

[@MagmaLobster]

Warlock has several cards that can disrupt this deck. But the deck doesn't need to be disrupted think of it like any other OTK. Kill them before combo no worries. Pretty much identical to Quest mage just different class and different flavor. my deck is actually in my opinion a better list than Thijs here and I can still lose to cubelock when it sets up properly.

[@MagmaLobster]

Also this dumbo druid missed lethal twice like a fucking nimrod and Thijs played wrong several times.

[@HeloisGevit]

Saronite Chain Gang knew all along that this was coming, they tried to warn us, if only we listened :(

[@Hephaestus_God]

I added Glacial Shard and Brrrloc to this deck.. basically then enemy is frozen the entire time as well as killing them with the lifedrinker.. plus it helps keep me alive longer to set up the combo

[@Scorch428]

I like how people complain that Shudderwock was "always in their last X cards in deck" when they made the decision to play a deck where you must draw 1 specific legendary every single game.

[@MagmaLobster]

Just like quest mage complaining about needing antonidas

[@Scorch428]

Yup. Which is why Quest Mage had a lot more draw to get through the deck.

[@KvNoWs]

Shaman coming out of the dark

[@danielmagyar4910]

*Bug noises* thijs turns from beta to a gamma male

[@vyteniskajackas7579]

Legend says animations are still going.

[@FMokou]

I don't think the deck is extremely broken, and I really think the worst part about the deck is the horribly slow aminations that play when you play shudderwock. It makes losing to the deck feel much worse than it actually is.

[@bubazzubaz3841]

ofc is broken, this dude is milion times better than u or me, and hes even saying is broken.

[@dassddsiii4430]

just because u are totally trash it doesent mean he is also

[@sandrudaniel19]

How much dust does this deck cost? Could post the cards needed? Good game !

[@RunehearthCL]

The only accurate "surely nerfed" title

[@CrappyProducts]

You made a mistake, you could have got the Murmuring elemental for 1 mana with the Grumble before

[@P3tray]

"How to make your turn last 30 minutes" - a deck by thijs

[@geebanhunter]

How long can this go on ?

[@ady510]

"MY JAWS THAT BITE MY CLAWS THAT CATCH" the 2018 "Everyone, get in here!"

[@ElBandito]

I think they should put a cap on the battlecry effects, much like Yogg's spells.

[@EnimaMoe]

I hope so, even when you play this dude you get bored watching the animation. But tbh i don't think it will be that usefull, when i finish my games with this deck i usually have like 5 more shudderwocks in hand and a bunch of mana left, so i will just use them all and it will be the same result ...

[@jk1302]

heard him say in stream ''shudderwock isnt broken'', now im on youtube and see his video called ''Shudderwock Is So Broken. This Deck Will 100% Be Nerfed'' uhm k lul

[@YorkshirezNo1]

Well yeah, title is obviously clickbait by his editor, its not broken at all

[@pixelmeth]

Yeah, it's not like people can change their opinions or something

[@WillACarpenter]

And then he loses.

[@Apricum1]

Broken doesn't necesserily mean good.

[@Fwoomi]

It’s not op, it’s just like any other combo deck where you have to wait for pieces and sometimes you never even draw them

[@aricgoss]

The thumbnails are great 🙃

[@jangdi.]

Opponent missed lethal at 12:26. Hero power gain 3 armor -> double golem attack --> end turn 1 hp burn = 15hp

[@facundoruiz5991]

I think the druid missed lethal

[@tristandk96]

facundo ruiz he couldn't attack with the the two 7/6 because he didn't have enough armor

[@facundoruiz5991]

Tristan Knowles 3 armor , hero power gives that, put at one then naturalize , fatigue kills him, sorry for my bad english

[@tartigon]

Yes,he missed the exact lethal

[@tristandk96]

facundo ruiz my bad, I didn't go back to look, for some reason i was thinking he had to use the hero power attack too. I was wrong

[@reddogbrew6895]

you need to get elemental invocations also for the sickest combo

[@HulkHodnFtw]

Playing Lone Champion right after Grumble gives you multiple Shudderwocks with divine shield and taunt

[@matthiasp3225]

12:32 that missed lethal is so painful, he even found the neutralize, I thought he had it and then...

[@user-ih3fy6pi5r]

How long can this go on?? T0T

[@ooze161]

Is it really broken if your opponent just missed lethal on the board?

[@Xhez2slash]

ooze161 opponent was off one

[@ooze161]

I agree, but the naturalize force Thijs to fatigue for one. Exact leathal with hero power for armor.

[@Xhez2slash]

ooze161 ohhh true true

[@tristandk96]

You cant attack with the 7/6 without armor

[@ooze161]

Tristan Knowles Yep, 3 armor to be exact. But that is how much the druid deathknight gets with his hero power. 2 mana, 3 armor -> deal 14 to Thijs.

[@MrJosephCurran]

Does anybody else think this deck really isnt fun to play?

[@drob9673]

and especially to play against

[@Kevin-nv3sj]

I play shudderwock in wild with yogg, it's a lot of fun. But indeed people have to play shudderwock this way, it's boring and not fun to play against. People don't even try other battlecries and go straight to this boring sh*t.... -_-

[@hakipiece]

It's not brain dead at the start but the plays take forever

[@jeremyjoe7494]

4/0 against Shudderwock with Cubelock. As long as you keep pressure, you will usually win, since them having the full combo on turn 9 is very unlikely (usually with the overload they can't even play Grumble in time).

[@sguploads9601]

i can do it on 9. Just more draw cards - even draw with battlcryes is ok - becouse i will destroy both decks. but i dont need deck at all - when i play it.

[@claudiocito9057]

Incredible

[@spitzzy8089]

Still try a find a good kingsbane deck from this expansion

[@mattxx3120]

This is gonna be the meta aggro rogue/warrior/hunter/priest/warlock/druid/paladin.... and Shudderwock

[@FelipeASaito]

Shudderwok just might as well be a win condition on its own

[@dieguy3080]

I dub this deck cutscene shaman

[@jonathantan7425]

Good stuff

[@Skorrigan]

So the Battlecry of Saronite triggers the replication of Shudderwock. And that is the trick, correct?

[@braedenlotz403]

I was hoping for a good shaman deck this expansion, this isn't what I had in mind blizz

[@ShrinkWrapping]

volcanoe and healing rain are bigger problems than the combo, it's the sheer support

[@NimbuxWTF]

Really really really chaotic card :S wow !

[@Caleb-no4yo]

All they have to do to break combo is change saronite chain gangs battle cry from summon a copy of this minon, to summon a 2/3 taunt saronite chain gang... theres no combo anymore and it cant go infinite like this

[@Caleb-no4yo]

No need to change other cost cards or mess with costs, its a simple fix with a small text change

[@tien3767]

Surely it will be neft to all battle cry in 1 or 2 turn not all turn. Or maybe 12 mana

[@kastore100]

nerf would be on registering battleries, Each next copied shudderwock can only copy original battlecries , not the echoed ones from other shadderwock, or by limited type of battlecry to repeat.

[@blastwave2k]

of course i had to play shudderwock. i like non-aggro shaman, and it was the only legend in the reveals i was excited about =) my monstrosity is nowhere near as refined as this tho. i don't have the epic elemental search guys. and don't want to craft them

[@BigHatMatt]

All I heard was "Shitterwock" xD

[@martindupuy1540]

40 adaptation, that is insane 😁

[@Shootskas]

I played against a shaman that played the murmuring/shudder combo 3 turns in a row...game took about 30 minutes...lol.

[@devilbhrothesavage2807]

I know everybody hates on Jaws & Claws but I really like shudderwock as a card. The animations are too long but a combo control shaman thats actually viable is something this game desperately needed.

[@dahjespert]

My jaws that bite, my claws that catch

[@sideswipe4796]

That was so funny lmao

[@MagmaLobster]

In my opinion this is the same as OTK mage it just takes longer and heals. The main issue I have is that the game has removed Iceblock AND Dirty Rat which are 2 of the best counters to this strat. The lead developer said that they are looking into cleaning up the animation so it doesn't rope your opponent but I don't think it will be functionally nerfed.

[@ugursunlu]

*B A L A N C E D*

[@lukeslack5543]

Op 👌

[@ShrinkWrapping]

also you forgot the most important part of the combo...battlecry drain 3? didn't think that was good?

[@montygraham6264]

Why primordial drake and not hagatha

[@jamesbarnes2496]

Should play the 3 mana 2/4 battlecry taunt divine shield. Would have won this game with it

[@RafinadKun]

haHAA MY JAWS haHAA THAT BITE haHAA MY CLAWS haHAA THAT CATCH

[@rickadmiraal9864]

Whaha oké dit is epic xD

[@luke-ww2vz]

this is disguised toasts deck

[@LazyMonte]

minute 12:20, he missed lethal, he just had to make 3 armor with his hero power then go face with the 2 ironwood golems, such a bad play for legend

[@Lord_Him]

7 legendaries in 200 packs?! and I was here thinking I was unlucky for getting 5 legendaries in 77 packs

[@ZapatosVibes]

This is what happens when Dirty Rat rotates out.

[@joshuagunaydosiemuel9593]

At least this deck is not 4 turn lethal deck

[@antton235]

This deck is like expodian mage, but it might not kill you in one turn. Everyone played exodia too when un'goro came and said its op, but nah Cube is still the king with paladin/secret mage and combo priest

[@bearfangmedia]

Holy boly

[@Math28l]

I beated this deck every time I played against. Yes It looks fun and op but if you don't remove the board its gg. I'm having a good time with baku druid. Probably when they use another combo of battlecry will be better but its too predictible now

[@troysnell]

Been waiting three months. Still no nerf

[@LUISRAMOS-ce1rh]

you have to play dthe drake before the legendary to clean all

[@matriox1v9]

Although this deck has slow early game as long as grumble and shudder are played it is a guaranteed win as long as the opponent has no lethal spells, not fun to play against

[@spookster2265]

so now it's possible to reach the time limit in a turn with one card. neat.

[@psycho717]

says the streamer who gets legend all the time

[@wombatman5164]

*mY jAwS tHaT BiTe, My ClAwS tHaT cAtCh!*

[@beniaminszwed1700]

Replacement for Thalnos?

[@williambailey9343]

more draw (loot hoarder)

[@Sephiko]

Time for Mana Wraith to break the meta.

[@josefl.belayachi7916]

oh, so u found trumps deck/idea

[@CyrusDobbs]

Thijs said on stream that it wasn’t that overpowered...

[@Luca_2327]

I got it as log-in, a lot of people would have been happy, but im a lvl 7 shaman (total lvl 240) so I DE'd it also got grumble on the same day, but I refuse to play shaman

[@somerandomer654]

The Gamecrasher If u waited till the nerf, u could have dusted for 1600

[@ghettotrout2011]

I doubt they'll nerf shudderwock, probably SCG instead.

[@greg_gamer]

you were supposed to break the meta, not join in on the cancer, thijs.

[@romani6366]

When people thought that shudderwock would be top tier 1 LOL

[@tomalard2564]

5:24 opponent missed one damage FailFish

[@Silent.]

hopefully I get shedderwock in my packs once I get 1000 gold tomorrow

[@onekoff8480]

Tier S deck confirmed

[@Bloudes]

I have just two things to say... How long can this go on ? How long can this go on ? How long can this go on ? (oups, i mean three things)

[@Rice_sama]

The whole game has become an unplayable cheese fiesta. And blizzard takes months every balance patch

[@MASTERHAENIR]

The problem isn't Shudderwock. The problem is SARONITE CHAIN GANG on this deck. If you play Grumble and Shudderwock, he will not back to hand (in case, if he's the only minion on battlefield). The problem are the copies of Shudderwock (created by SARONITE CHAIN GANG). They will nerf SCG, not Shudderwock.

[@glennowen4940]

Shuddercancer

[@wheelnut2170]

Yeah, well, let's not print any more CHARGE minions because that will allow the combo OTK's that we definitely do no want, right?

[@andrewbruss2173]

its just so boring to play against

[@bb___6588]

I hunt alone.... lets play odd cost hunter guy!!

[@rafaboy1426]

AsTriFlexTM queeeest Warriooor

[@Quoa]

Why do you need Grumble in this Deck? I mean you could play two youthful brewmaster and just win by having a whole board of 6/6s

[@matusenko2371]

you should try out Trumps version, its a bit more interesting

[@EnimaMoe]

I prefer Toast's one, with the brrrloc, your shudderwock freeze all enemies and it allows you to save yourself so you can play more shudderwocks next turn and keep the board frozen on enemy side ! :p

[@matusenko2371]

i didnt see the toasts version yet, seems cool ill check it out

[@darrelc5411]

The shitterwock, yep he is cool

[@LBPS]

HOW MY JAWS THAT BITE, MY CLAWS THAT CATCH HOW MY JAWS THAT BITE, MY CLAWS THAT CATCh HOW MY JAWS THAT BITE, MY CLAWS THAT CATCH stop please HOW MY JAWS THAT BITE, MY CLAWS THAT CATCH

RIP the ones who crafted this deck after they read the title

[@meganfisher831]

I was so looking forward to this expansion, saved so much. And now I never want to preorder, and keep facing this fucking deck at least once per 3 games. I can't even experiment with decks I WANT to play because of this thing popping up so often, demanding mooneater hunters and other 'cancer' decks just to stand a chance. It really sucked the fun out of the game after so much hype and it demands a long break from hearthstone until it's fixed.

[@alex55529]

This deck is broken but easy to mess up, today with my quest Warrior I win against this deck because my opponet play Grumble with full board and he can' t get his Shuddenwock for infinte value

[@MDoorpsy]

Not sure it needs to be nerfed, perse, but the animations for the Shudderwock should probably all happen (visually) at the same time

[@MunkyDrag0n]

MDoorpsy How hearthstone is designed, card effects must be shown so players know they have resolved. Blizzard cannot address the animations without nerfing the card. They have created a no win situation.

[@themonkeking722]

This was the final straw for me. Actually made me quit hearthstone after fighting one of these. You can literally stall your turn for 5 minutes.

[@urayoan1952]

I got 6 in 78 packs

[@64scirocco]

With hemet this deck will be op
