Classy.

Came back to this after a couple years of not touching HS.

Aggro Shadow Priest in wild is criminally strong. After a couple days trying to slog my way the ladder with my favorite deck (Elemental Mage) I gave up and switched to Priest. Climbed from Silver 5 to Plat 4 in one easy session after dinner and before bed.

I don't think elemental mage has ever been that good, even with DK Jaina it was pretty much her carrying the deck almost singlehandedly while nowadays she's not even close in relative strength.
I think there was a version with Khadgar and the twinspell card that splits a minion that was pretty good but probably not tier 1.

DK Jaina is my favorite card of all time and while her deck has never been super strong I used to have a positive winrate but now I do not. I can often manage the fast decks fine but OTKs and Wheel of Death are next to impossible to stop for such a slow deck.

edit: Aggro Shadow Priest is so fast that I haven't really found any bad matchups yet. It's faster than other aggro decks and can often position for lethal before control or OTK can get their defenses online.

If they want to increase engagement, maybe they should make playing the game more fun for casual players??
