Hearthpwn

Hi there! I'm Invisible (that's my nick you can actually see me). I've been playing hearthstone since the beta and this month for the first time I reached legend with this deck I made.

Introduccion:

First of all English is not my first language so if I have any grammar mistake just tell me.

If you are going to use this deck in order to get legend, don't watch videos, use your mobile or jerk off while playing, just focus on the game, think every play you are going to do, it doesn't matter if the rope comes out, but don't missplay. If the enemy is greeting you and you're salty as fk, dont punch de wall, deep breath and mute him.

I used this deck to climb from rank 5 to Legend so the guide will be based on my experience in those ranks, can't predict what happens if you play this in rank 20 against reno dragons miracle hunter.

Replacements and card choices:

I'll explain every match below but first we'll talk about replacements and card choices:

The deck is pretty cheap overall so if you are missing any card just craft it, there aint even purple cards. If you are missing Bloodmage Thalnos don't try to replace it with a similar card such as Kobold Geomancer or Loot Hoarder, just use another good card that you think can be good with this deck like Acidic Swamp Ooze (most recommended one since you can remove Pirates Warriors weapons) or Jeweled Scarab.

If you're having a bad time against aggro and you think 6 taunts is not enought just replace Nerubian Prophet with Jinyu Waterspeaker.

If you want to have a little boost to get lethal, as I have read in many comments, you can replace Nerubian Prophet with Bloodlust.

 

I've heard some people say that is much better to play Shaman with Justicar Trueheart because if you can always choose the taunt totem you defeat aggro pretty easy. Well don't play her, it's too slow, you can't afford to waste six manas in one turn when facing aggro. Also don't play Harrison Jones, even if you get a weapon, just as justicar, is way too slow, play Acidic Swamp Ooze instead.

Overall tips:

Before I explain every match-up here there are some tips for every single match that even if they look obvius they must be said.

-You only play one Master of Evolution, you want to use it on a Nerubian Prophet in most cases.

-If you have Evolve and Totem Golem in your hand, play always evolve first.  Totem Golem is usually much better than any 3 cost card. Same goes with Tunnel Trogg.

-Turn 6 Doppelgangster + Evolve + Nerubian Prophet is in most cases a win against clases wihtout big aoe damage such as druid or rogue so if you've got the three cards in a mulligan against one of those classes you may want to keep it.

-Never use two Evolves in the same turn. First you evolve your board, then the enemy plays his minions, you trade with your minions, and evolve. A low health minion turning into a new monster is the definition of value.

MULLIGAN AND MATCH-UPS:

Reno mage: 

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Nerubian Prophet Thing from Below. If you've got Nerubian Prophet keep also Master of Evolution.

Hard match-up. He's got a lot of aoe damage. Try to fill the board early game and be very carefull in turn 7. They play Volcanic Potion, Blizzard and Flamestrike. Try to bait those areas and once they have done it go all in with the evolve. Keep the Hex for the Frost Nova + Doomsayer combo.

Jade druid:

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Spirit Claws Nerubian Prophet Thing from Below. If you have Nerubian Prophet keep also Master of Evolution. If you have either Evolve or Doppelgangster, keep also the other one.

Well this match is actually pretty easy since once you have evolved your doppelgangster he has no way to wipe them off. But you have to hurry, if he's dropping 9-9 jade monsters you have already lost. Fill the board whenever you can. Don't be afraid to use an early Lightning Storm or Maelstrom Portal in order to get rid of those early minions he summons. Perfect target for hex would be Aya Blackpaw, but don't hold back if you have to use it on a Ancient of War or a jade monster.

Miracle rogue:

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Spirit Claws Maelstrom Portal Lightning Bolt Bloodmage Thalnos.

Miracle rogue has now an annoying early game with Swashburglar, Small-Time Buccaneer and Patches the Pirate. Clean them with your early drops minions and Maelstrom Portal. Don't use thalnos to draw, keep it for the spell damage: Bloodmage Thalnos + Lightning Bolt = 4 damage, wich is perfect because most of rogue minions have 4 health (Tomb Pillager Azure Drake Gadgetzan Auctioneer). The spell damage is also very useful when he conceal, if you use a Lightning Storm with spellpower you may be lucky and kill his minions, which is usually a win. Keep the hex for Edwin VanCleef, if he has already used you can also hex Tomb Pillager.

Dragons priest:

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Spirit Claws Lightning Bolt Nerubian Prophet Thing from Below.  If you have either Evolve or Doppelgangster, keep also the other one.

They've got a good early with cheap dragons, your areas cant get rid of those minions with thousands of health and they can kill most of your minions with Holy Nova and Excavated Evil. BUT once you have evolved your minions they will have 5-7 health and he won't be able to wipe them off. Control the board and take always in mind that he may use a Lightning Storm generated by Drakonid Operative.They dont usually play Ysera so it's fine if you hex Drakonid Operative.

Pirate warrior:

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Spirit Claws Maelstrom Portal Lightning Storm Lightning Bolt Feral Spirit.

Most popular and over powered deck this seasson and you can deal with him relatively easy. In mulligan Maelstrom Portal is key to kill those early cancer pirates. Control the board as soon as you can with your low mana cost cards, then try to survive with taunts. By turn 5-7 he will run out of cards and if you control the board youre most likely to survive. Feral Spirit and Thing from Below are key cards to win the match. If you're playing with Acidic Swamp Ooze don't use it at the start, wait for him to give +1/+1 to his weapon, or use it on a Arcanite Reaper. In late turns always use the passive, it helps a lot that 0/2 taunt. And take alawys in mind that the best way you can use a Hex in this match-up is on your own minions.

Aggro shaman:

Mulligan: Hex Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Spirit Claws Lightning Bolt Nerubian Prophet Lightning Storm

Both of you play the same early cards so it will be a matter of luck who controls the board at the start, try to drop Totem Golem at turn 2, he doesn't have any 4 damage source so he will need to cards to kill him, but same goes for you. Hex is also important because they play Flamewreathed Faceless, if he drops it at turn 4 and you dont have hex you're screwed. Keep your aoe wisely, dont use them just because he has filled the board with passive totems. Keep in mind that if you are below 15HP he can burst you with Lightning Bolt and Lava Burst.

Reno warlock:

Mulligan: Tunnel Trogg Totem Golem Hex Thing from Below Nerubian Prophet Mana Tide Totem. If you have Nerubian Prophet keep also Master of Evolution.

Hard match-up because he's got tons of aoe. Always play around Demonwrath Hellfire Shadowflame and Twisting Nether. Try to bait those areas and then fill the board. Keep the hex at the start to deal with an early Twilight Drake and Mountain Giant. If he ruins your first Doppelgangster + Evolve combo you can always use the second one.

 

Final thoughts:
