Its honestly, disgusting. Endlessly putting in meteors then buffing them like no tomorrow. He also had a lot of deal 5 shuffle meteors, so no board could a build. Also the murmur malygos combo and stuff is just cherry on top.
I dont have words for that deck.
The fact that it ALSO provides big huge AoE damage isā¦ stupid. But the deckās fine otherwise I think.
Just like, having this easy tool to clear the board to make sure youāre not wasting meteors (while getting meteors) makes the deck way too easy to play.
Shuffling cards into decks is fun donāt you know, I played it but I donāt appear to have the RNG or draw the decent cards to make it pop off like other people.
First day so everything is up in the air
And I think i only played against 2 meteor shaman
But hereās my anecdote anyways
One game I won. He shuffled quite a few meteors but didnāt buff them. But I was building starship, and I got a big one launched with Exodar to absorb the damage. Plus I was able to pressure him all game.
Other game I lost. He got tempo early (I drew poor) so meteors were more of an afterthought as his board beat mine.
From the game I won, I think the key is still the old beat 'em down before they beat you. The two aoes are a problem, so you either have to be able to reflood the board with enough stuff to absorb meteors, or have burn from hand.
In theory DK 8 hands counter meteor (and probably good vs bombs, plagues, marin treasuresā¦), but I havenāt tried it as Iām not sure whether to go frost or unholy on the 3rd rune.
Thing is, he can shuffle three copys into his deck, so in my match, he played like 5 meteor boardclear.
Meteor is 6 mana, so you basically looking at one cast per turn (not that you should need more than one)
ā¦but that means for him to cast it 5 times, youāre looking at turn 11 earliest, but turn 11 is absurd since something wierd must be going on for him to AoE back to back (and heād need insane luck to draw those back to back)
So realistically, your match is probably gone on for 20+ turns
If you canāt win in 20 turns, yeah either your deck is just a bad matchup, or itās just bad period and would have lost to a whole bunch of other (mostly control) decks. The boombosses, the kilājaedens, the plague DKs, handbuff pally have time to get their 30 damage leeroy/pirate, control priest doing control priest things, druids ignoring the mana bar, HL shaman getting 9/9 frogs out without needing meteors, etc.
Can you try putting plagues in to disrupt ?
Anyone playing these asteroid decks certainly deserve to be plagued to the fullest extent of the law.
That deck is probably the least egregious deck right now.
All the devs seem to know is toxic deck design, I think the lot need to be moved on myself. Every single game is the most toxic crap they can think of , the game is the complete pits.
it shown again, they didnāt test their game.
I tried DK plague against it, and it worked, but then I obviously didnāt get matched against it again. 
Just play rogue starship and utilize shadowsteps, gives you about 80 armor and health after the starship is launched twice. Play rogue and profit!
The only way it matters is if you play Hely, if they arenāt unending 2 or 4 even 6 plagues isnāt the end of the world when they shuffle 15, 20, or like 30 asteroids and possibly boost the damage(sometimes with shudder block) so drawing asteroids becomes throwing ābombsā at your opponent
Somewhere, Plague DKs are crying because shaman does what they do, just better. Honest question. Why donāt we have a tech card to do something about all this shuffling garbage? This mechanic wasnāt fun when bomb warrior did, itās not fun when plague dk does it, yet Blizzard insists on adding even more to the game without giving players a means of fighting it off aside from piddling rats hopefully drawing a piece out. Especially in a class like shaman that has access to Shudderwock to triple the battlecries. As for starships, they are clunky, plain and simple. Why jump through hoops when you can just load up your deck with ādamage when drawnā cards and just kill your enemy.
would be a shame if they printed a card that destroy all but the 8 most expensive cards in a deckā¦
I played this Meteor Shaman deck and matched into a DK who played the new card to remove all my cards apart from the 8 highest cost cards. I thought that might be a counter to what I was doing. It ended up helping me, I just shuffled more meteors in my deck and got more consistent draw and killed him easily.
Why is everyone calling it Meteor Shaman, I thought they were asteroidsā¦
Thereās a Meteor shower card that is pretty staple that shuffles in more asteroids. Iām guessing that is the mix up.
