I've been playing a Shaman deck based around battlecry creatures, brewmaster bounce creatures, and normal Shaman things. Looks like this.

1 Lightning Bolt (All I have)
2 Rockbiter Weapon (I debate if I would replace these with bolts/bursts/storms if I had more. They have their combos with the windfury guys though often they just get used on my hero to kill a small creature)
2 Abusive Sergeants (Early turn plays, late turn buff other creatures to kill things or get damage in)
1 Acidic Swamp Ooze (I debate two of these)
2 Flametongue Totem
1 Ironbeak Owl (All I have. Silence is strong)
1 Knife Juggler (Could be the second Ooze, Owl (if I get one), something else, but he is fun so I'm trying him for now. Only one I have)
2 Novie Engineer (Card draw and probably what I bounce back to my hand the most)
2 Youthful Brewmaster (Cheap bounce on a good body)
2 Hex
1 Lava Burst (All I have)
1 Lightning Storm (All I have)
2 Shattered Sun Cleric (I feel like there are better cards for this spot, but they aren't bad)
2 Ancient Brewmasters (More bounce on a bigger body)
1 Spellbreaker (All I have. Wish I had another to run)
2 Windspeaker
2 Bloodlust
2 Fire Elemental
1 Frost Elemental (All I have)

Only gotten to rank 17 with it, but considering that it is only 3 rare cards and everything else is below that; I feel like it runs alright. Lots of tweaks to be made to it as more cards are gained. Feels pretty flexible with how it plays to me. Can play aggressive with Flametongues, decent bodies on things, and bloodlust, but can also play as control with drawing/silence/kill too. Not a perfect deck by far, but I've been enjoying it.

I do have worries about the game in general. Worry about the strength of legendaries (not that you can't still beat them, but I worry about balance anyway.) Worry about deck limits with too many basic cards (would be so much more fun to be able to mix and match. I feel like 90% of priest decks play the same for example. Though I grant there is some flex too. Just wish there was more.) Worry that arena is much more fun than constructed. Worry at the cost of the crafting system (though I'm thankful to have one at all. I have used it for some cards, but I feel like the disenchant to create rate is too steep currently.)

All that said, I still like the game and expect to spend decent time on it. Especially since you can, with time, gain cards for free. Feel like I know several friends who aren't playing that will like it when it goes live too. So expect it will be a staple for a long time.

Like Frag, I do also feel that the mobile version will end up being my primary playing vehicle when it comes out. Though I don't go quite as far as he does with that. I still enjoy playing it on the comp. Granting that I've only had it for a week or two.
