Havencraft weakness?

[Ha7su]

What's the havencraft weakness?
The deck has one of the best card draw spell of the game.
The deck can easily switch from control to aggro depending on the match-up and can deal with anything.

so, what's the havencraft weakness? Because I dont see any.

I'm not sure about the forest match-up.
But I've played a lot with runecraft, and the thing that's the worse to face as runecraft ( Dshift ) are storm threats. And the storm havencraft has this name for a reason, this deck can win from nowhere because unlike MTG, there is no "instant-speed" removal.

Purgatory forestcraft is, i wouldnt say midrange forest is a good idea tho

storm haven smacks any forest deck to pieces
ptp is not rdy befor turn 7-8 with good draw
you take like 2-5 dmg befor you can even evolve
ancient elfe is only a small protection
and the moment you overextend with tia you get board reset and more face dmg the next turn because amulets
no forest has a weak matchup vs storm haven and even a worst matchup vs elana

edit: the most broken card in storm haven is the damn 2 mana gain ward if evovled follower is in play, like wtf its the best aggro protection and secures that you get at least 2 attacks of

Storm haven ♥♥♥♥♥ on all of these. This deck is midrange shaman of sw honestly, nothing really counters it if they play on good curve. Something has to be done with possibility to counter amulets. Its impossible reta*ded giving a class 2 mana 7 mana worth of stats, that cannot be countered by anything, i mean wtf they even thinking when printed this ♥♥♥♥? And if something goes wrong just reset board on 6 to trigger these amulets next turn. Its cannot be punished or played around any way and thats the problem.
I honestly think summoning amulets just bad idea overal. No counters, except odin which is dead card against 2 mana amulet, so no ways to deal with, always evolve or first hit advantage. Stupid and not fun.

Havencraft is strong. My midrange Shadowcraft deck destroys for the first couple rounds, but not long after Elana is played...well, I lose control. 80% of the time I will lose. Still, fun deck to fight against. Really pushes you to the limit.

Havencraft, depending on the particular deck, can be weak to aggro. That is; aggressive play. Decks that are focused on doing quick damage, early-to-mid game, can do very well against it. Other than that; carrying cards like Odin (for Seraph and/or Elana, in that order) or Execute (for Elana primarily) can do a lot to slow/stop a healing and/or Seraph-based deck. For an aggro Haven; I think about the only thing you could do is carry a good amount of wards.

And as a general rule of thumb, which is not Haven specific, for a non-aggro deck; I'd recommend carrying at least 2 Odins and/or Executes, to handle enemy amulets. Because even aside from Haven; there are too many decks that receive strong benefits from amulets, and those two cards can do a lot to slow them down. I tend to favor execute, for the low-cost early-factor of it; but Odin can work on cards like Seraph, Mordecai and Leonidas (pre-amulet), which Execute just can't.
