Analytic, educational Hearthstone
In this Hearthstone Journey to Un’Goro deck tech, I take a look at Sherazin Miracle Rogue. While the first Rogue decks to surface after the new expansion were mostly Quest Rogue decks – and that archetype is powerful and continues to be refined – Rogue still has other options as well. The most prominent alternative is Sherazin Miracle Rogue.

Hearthstone’s Journey to Un’Goro expansion has been out for a week now, and we have the first insights into how the meta is going to turn out, even though new decks still appear on almost daily basis.
In this deck tech, I will take a look at Jade Elemental Shaman. I have already explored pure Elemental Shaman, but going for a hybrid approach that sacrifices some consistency of elemental synergies for added power of Jade cards is an option many players prefer.

Hearthstone’s Journey to Un’Goro expansion has been out for a week now, and we have the first insights into how the meta is going to turn out, even though new decks still appear on almost daily basis.
In this deck tech, I will take a look at pure Elemental Shaman, built on the synergies of cards from the latest expansion. In the next article after this one, I will take a look at Jade Elemental Shaman that combines these synergies with Jade Golems from the previous expansion.
On the surface, Elemental Shaman seems to be one of the simplest decks to build: Blizzard has added a ton of Elemental cards to the game, especially for Shaman, so everything looks fairly simple and straightforward.
Yet, this is far from truth. I have experimented with a lot of different cards over the course of changing meta, and there are lots of tech choices you can make. A very straightforward build, such as the one I theorycrafted before the release, can do well against aggressive decks, but faces huge pressure from Quest Rogue and Taunt Warrior, and in the past couple of days, Midrange Paladins have also been back in force.

It is the early days of Hearthstone’s Journey to Un’Goro expansion, and the meta is slowly being figured out.
While the ladder is mostly populated by Rogues (Quest and Miracle), Warriors (Pirate and Taunt), and Hunters (Midrange), all classes are currently seeing some play.
One of the things I’m happiest about with Journey to Un’Goro is that it is now possible to build a good deck on a budget again, even on your first day of playing Hearthstone! The deck I have in mind is Zoo.

I think there has got to be a deck that can be built around Bittertide Hydra. It is such a big aggro card.
In this post, I will try to find that deck, perhaps some kind of Aggro Druid.

One of the most straightforward decks to predict is Elemental Shaman. Blizzard has added a ton of Elemental cards to the game, especially for Shaman, and building this tribe deck looks fairly simple and straightforward.
However, in reality there are quite a few choices to make.
In this post, I will examine the elementals available for Shaman, and theorycraft an Elemental Shaman deck around them.

(Edit: This article is pre-release speculation. I have also written about a playtested Budget Zoo after the release of Journey to Un’Goro. You can find the details here.)
While the Warlock legendary quest and legendary minion both guide the class towards discard gameplay, that is not all there is to Warlock. In fact, Journey to Un’Goro gives some good tools for regular Zoo to make a comeback, also on a budget!
