Do you want a deck that is FUNNY and EFFICIENT?

Try this deck!

If you like it please rate it!

EDIT Feb 4th: replaced Kel'Thuzad with Cult Master to get enough card draw. You can build your board with totems, Deathrattle Minions like Haunted Creeper's or Piloted Machines' and then Cult Master will give you value out of it. Also Cult Master + Reincarnate = instant card draw.

Alright, I've been working on this deck when Naxxramas came out and dropped it after GvG release. However I realized that the potential for this deck actually got better thanks to the piloted dudes: Piloted Shredder, Piloted Sky Golem, Sneed's Old Shredder.

This deck relies on Deathrattle to build a heavy board control.

Mulligan/Early Game

You don't want to get screwed by aggro Hunters and Warlocks. No worries, this deck is well equipped against early game decks. You will want to look for the following cards in the beginning:

* 1 x Zombie Chow

* 1 x Haunted Creeper

* 1 x Feral Spirit

* 1 x Bloodmage Thalnos

Ideally you are able to throw Zombie Chow turn one.

To support you in the beginning, the deck has a few removals:

* 2 x Rockbiter Weapon

* 1 x Hex

* 2 x Earth Shock, that's efficient both early game and later

* 2 x Lightning Storm will be enough to play against aggro decks

* 1 x Flametongue Totem as most of the time you will have two totems lying on the board and you want to take advantage of it

 

Mid-game / Board control

You want to create a sticky board that the opponent is unable to clean. Most of the units in the deck give you another minion when it dies.

* 1 x Harvest Golem

* 2 x Piloted Shredder

* 1 x Piloted Sky Golem

* 1 x Sludge Belcher

* 2 x Azure Drake

 

Late game

OK, now comes the time we will ROCK. The key to win this game is to CHEAT. It means using sick combos that will ruin your opponent's game. This is done with the following:

- 1 x Baron Rivendare, that will turn for exemple one Piloted Sky Golem into two 4 mana minions. Imagine two yetis popping out of the golem.

- 2 x Reincarnate will instantly give you mind control with Sylvanas Windrunner, one legendary minion with Sneed's Old Shredder and so on and so forth.

- 2 x Ancestral Spirit used on Deathrattle units is a sick value maximization. Also, the combo Earth Elemental + Ancestral Spirit on turn 7 is a combo your opponent will struggle with.

- 1 x Faceless Manipulator will copy a minion on which you will have already applied Ancestral Spirit to get even more value.

- 1 x Kel Thuzad will develop additional deathrattle potential out of your minions.

 

You can use these preferably with the following minions:

- 1 x Sylvanas Windrunner

- 1 x Sneed's Old Shredder

- 1 x Piloted Sky Golem

- 1 x Sludge Belcher

- 1 x Earth Elemental

 

SICK COMBOS YOUR OPPONENT WON'T HANDLE SO EASY

* Unleash the golems

Turn 8 : Earth Elemental + Ancestral Spirit

Turn 9 : Faceless Manipulator + Baron Rivendare

---> Get a huge number of golems.

 

* Control freak

Turn 8 : Sylvanas Windrunner

Turn 9 : Baron Rivendare + Reincarnate

---> Sylvanas dies, Mind Controls TWO enemy minions and Sylvanas come back to life

 

* I am a Legend

Turn 8 : Sneed's Old Shredder

Turn 9 : Baron Rivendare + Reincarnate

---> Sneed's back to life + Two Legends

 

Why this deck?

There has been some theorycrafts around Reincarnate + Ancestral Spirit, however the previous decks have proven to be uncompetitive. In the past, this kind of deck was considered too weak early game. In the current meta, this deck has the potential to be big and here's why: this deck is no longer a LATE GAME-ONLY deck. It has smaller yet high value minions such as Piloted Shredder, early game control units such as Rockbiter Weapon and Zombie Chow.I hope you have fun!!
