This deck plays strongly around all of its cards in synergy. Kabal Couriers does not guarantee you a predictable card so a lot of random variables come into play then which seems undesirable. But if you think about it, what would you replace it with? The deck itself is very well built there is no denying that. Everything works flawlessly with each other. And going into a more powerful deck beyond this one wouldn't cost you that much at all.
I am less than a month into Hearthstone and apart from a fun C'thun Rogue and Beast deck I've managed to craft from the budget decks, this one is def on top of my list now. I just completed it two days back and already it is skyrocketing me forward in both farm and rank.
One little adjustment I did is remove one of the Kirin's and substitute it for a pyroblast. It has given me quite an impact in a lot of matches. Having 3 cards which reduce cost to 0 is more than enough for the amount of secrets available for me personally.
The game is finally great again! :-D
Great Deck !!!
Great deck
Just amazing, I'm a relatively new player and with this deck i feel like it's the first time i can go against Pay2Win decks with ease FINALLY
It is 100 percent worth the dust, Got 6 wins in a row!
This has been a great deck for me as I entered ranked games for the first time.
should I replace Firelands Portal or Cobalt Scalebane for Primoridal Glyph?
I cut all the Neutral cards and Mirror Entity for 2x Corridor Creeper, 1x Avian Watcher, an Archmage Antonidas, and 2x Medivh's Valet. It's been working well, and even when I've lost tempo in the late game, I've been able to sneak back with an over the top Fireball/Firelands Portal/Explosive Runes.
This is a better version of the deck, which may get you to legend, if played properly.
Should I replace any card with Deck of Wonders? Any suggestion?
i have 2 glyphs Aluneth and recently got Archmage Antonidas from pack. I'm missing Medivh's Valet and Ice Block. Also i kinda want try adding 1 pyroblast but i currently don't own any.
I thought of using x1 mirror image to generate firball with antonidas instead of pyroblast, also possible combos with kabal lackey + secret + archmage on turn 8.
Does Archmage Antonidas fit in the deck at all? Instead Corridor Creeper or Pyroblast?
I dunno i seems to much of a hassle to generate 1 fireball on turn 9 or 10, but it could work. you should try it out
Is Medivh, the Guardian too slow for this deck? Or was he left out because of the lack of larger cost spells (aside from Firelands Portal)?
I meant as an upgrade. Is it worth subbing him in for one of the Bonemare or another card, or is he too slow to add either way?
I would say that he is too slow. This deck aims to grab control early and then burn out your enemy. Getting a 7/7 and a random slow minion to following turn is much less good than let's say 12 points of face damage on your would-be-medivh turn
I've only lost 2 of the last 8 matches with this deck. It's a beast!
Nice cheap deck. Could almost craft this as a brand new player and is decent enough to ladder competitively.
(realized all the chatter in the background after I uploaded this video. I am sorry about that, hopefully it isn't too distracting. ;()
If you have Aluneth. you may craft Primordial Glyph to get competitive version of this deck.
what are you missing anyway?
Aluneth is best card in this deck, some match up are winnable only if you draw this card.
PS. only down side of this deck is all those aggro paladin out there which rekt this deck real hard
If you have Aluneth, you should add an Ice block in the mix to keep you alive when searching for burn.
Also, do you have Karazhan? I seriously doubt that this deck is competitive without Medivh's Valet and Firelands Portal. I wouldn't craft additional pieces for the deck without those two.
Tempo mage is even in it's meta build a vulnerable deck since it gets rekt by aggro most of the time. Playing a budget version of it will essentialy weaken you even more against your bad matchups, while decrease effectiveness of good ones.
I guess it's fine not to run Medivh's vallet in a budget version, but you should consider inserting additional burn.
If you are running Aluneth, chances are you will equip it in later part of the game when you want to finish your opponent after initial tempo play. That's why you need Ice Block, to keep you from dying when you need to draw your burn. My experience against tempo mages is that they usually empty their hand because of tempo, equip Aluneth and wait to draw enough damage over 1-2 turns. They use ice block so I can't kill them on time.
I would also consider removing ooze and adding a Pyroblast if you have one.
Cheers!
