My homebrewed Jefferson Starship Warlock deck does well.
check vs report it has a list of almost 20 deck that are really good at beating it
The first would be, idk, maybe l2p?
The deck isn’t nearly consistent enough to be a problem. I get when it goes off it feels terrible, but it also dies real easy when it misses the draws.
The longer you let it live, the more likely you are to die, so if you’re playing some blood dk reno control value pile, it’s working as intended if you feel like you can’t beat it. It’s just going to be a bad match up for you because rock beats scissors.
Its one of those decks that on paper is easy to beat, but if they highroll you then it just feels awful to play against. Steamcleaner back in standard please.

It’s great against board-based decks which aren’t too aggro to finish them off before they get their preparations done
Which includes most of the older decks, lol
The deck is a punishing machine, it literally punishes all of my decks
I don’t have any proof for this, but I feel like this might be one of the decks which are still under the optimization. Definitely NOT tier 4 as advertized by VS (but then again, VS tier list should be ignored, as it consistently puts unplayable and unplayed decks on the top of tier 1)
Have you seen the latest face spell rogue, whatever name this community has decided to give to it?
I hated most sinergies last expansion, hating these ones even more.
Aggro should beat it.
Quasar rogue is like maybe 55-60% favored if played correctly.
The harder shaman to beat is the nostalgia one that cheats out insane mana turn 4 or 5.

This deck is exceptionally fun, but I feel it’s too easy for its power-level.
I farm them with spell damage druid and gear shift rogue with giants and everything must go, but the key is you need to be really aggressive like making tempo all the time in every single turn since they are basically trying to answer everything with meteor shower and baking soda volcano
Lol names other unhealthy decks. Ya just be super cancer to beat cancer.
What makes dollhouse druid and everything must go rogue so unhealthy? The deck seems fair by 2024 hearthstone standard. I have a really fair deck which is draenei mage but it just doesn’t keep up with the current meta
It has the same issue plague dk had. Sometimes you don’t draw your draw cards and the steroids just sit in your deck. Armor decks can also just shrug it off, as most of these shaman asteroids do not have a second win con it seems. It really is hit or miss.
You think that until you play half your deck and you still haven’t found one of these. Gets REAL tough to compete against decks countering everything that deck does.
Its just a matter of who pulls off the combo first.
It’s really a very dumb deck (it reflects the designers). “Card good does good damage if I do this simplest of things”.
Those designers are unaware of the concept of time too in this game. At least slow down the game to be less RNG.
You can’t have OP cards sensitive to random draw and at the same time make them able to lethal within 4 rounds.

It is a really hard deck to stop because of how easy it is to play and make consistent with the cards available to Shaman: 3x different cards to generate Asteroids, then Triangulate, Magatha, Ethereal Oracle that also boosts the Asteroid power. Plus Magatha breaks the rules by drawing spells but not giving them to your opponent like previous cast when drawn spells have worked.
