Greetings everyone. This is a deck that I have been messing around with lately. The deck has a decent early game and strong late game. I believe this deck is a strong contender for the current ladder and has good matchups vs all control decks as well as a strong matchup vs hunter and zoo.
When facing aggro, try to play the deck similar to a handlock and mulligan for moltens, sunfury, consecrate, and owls. The owls are particularly useful vs zoo as they will cover you for a clean consecrate vs egg or silencing an out of control undertaker. mid game vs zoo you want your weapons to stabilize the board as well as pyro/equality or equality/consecrate combos to clear board. Aldors should also be saved for doomguards.
When facing control, look for truesilver and ERF for early game. During late game, try to save your moltens to be used before your lay on hands. You can also quickly reverse games with board clear molten drops. Remember to try and save your equality combos until they are really needed to turn the game around or save yourself from imminent doom. Don't forget you can also use owls to heal your minions with equality+owl following an equality consecrate combo.
Why Sea Giant? Vs aggro, you will usually find yourself dropping many cards early game to prevent a quick blowout. Therefore mountain giants will forever sit in your hand as a dead card. Sea giants are the better alternative given out low card draw in the early game while its placement is facilitated by our hero power.
Can this work without Tirion or Sylvanas?
If so, what can be decent replacements?
Holy Wrath or gtfo :p
If nothing, this is a very fun deck for sure. I love when other players have no idea what is going on.
Im new to hearthstone how would I go about getting this deck? Do i have to unlock cards?
There are three different sets to get cards from: basic, expert, and naxxramas.
Basic cards you unlock by getting the game and leveling each class to level 10. After that, leveling heroes gets you golden basic cards, which are purely visual.
Expert cards: These are opened in packs. It takes a WHILE to get a decent collection, so don't stress it. When you can, start playing arena consistently and that should give you a rounded game experience and help you get many of the cards.
Naxxramas: Hearthstone's first solo adventure, accessible in the solo menu. Each wing grants you specific naxxramas cards, and must be opened in order at 700 gold apiece. Most of these are alternative, consistent cards, and should not be stressed either.
Basically don't stress about getting cards, but like all card games its going to take a while to get most cards. The game, even with just the basic set, is deep and exciting with much to explore, and getting all you can from clever gameplay decisions and good use of your cards/collection is ALWAYS possible and fun. Happy gaming!
For new players the best way to get cards is to first learn the basics of how to play effectively. For this, I recommend watching twitch streams for arena players and comparing what you would do with what the streamer did. Then once you feel comfortable, start to play arena and only play casual to farm your daily quests.
man this works great with all this aggro meta play. I wish i could see their faces when i drop the giants after they been slamming me in the face for 5 minutes.
Glad you are enjoying the deck :)
