OK, over the weekend I made this deck card for card (well actually
I traded in a Wake the Dead in for the third Urban Brawl), and tonight I put
it up against my shaman deck with one of my friends. Of the four games
we played the Shaman Deck won three of them and the one it lost was
a very close game. We each played the troll deck twice to balance out
the player factor if there was one...

Was the deck you posted the nasty version of the deck, or just what you
built to counter it?

I'll put it up against my R-3 deck this weekend and see how it goes. I
still don't think big bruiser decks are a huge problem. I might switch
up the Troll deck a bit too since I think a few changes could make it
stronger.
