It's sad that there is no place for control Shadow in this meta (not trolling like last time)
After Top Nep got unleashed i played a quite a few games with her in my last word shadow. And after playing for a while i realize that there isnt really a place for control (even mid range) shadow atm in this meta. Half of the meta right now is probably aggro rune/blood/forest, which will win against you no matter how hard you tech against them (damage past ward, damage to face while still destroy a follower, "interactive" storm damage) because they have insane value for tempoing early game (mid game for tempo rune) while doing damage to your face.
My second realization is that all control decks nowadays run banish tools, which hard counter Mordecai - the main win con of control shadow. Also mid range deck utilize "interactive" storm damage as well to win the game (i'm looking at you albert aka pyroblast and i dont even play HS lol). And worst of all are combo decks, for example dshift rune, absolutely wreck control shadow.
So how do you guys think about this? Also if you got a Shadow deck working feel free to share with me (plis i need help i deranked from AA3 to AA2 trying to make Top Nep Shadow works).
