Hi there! I´m Andree59 and this is one of my decks. I'll be glad for all of the comments and FollowMe. This deck help me get from rank 12 to rank 5 in one day.
First, I would like to invite you to a new group for WILD players, where you can share your decks, consulting a metagame, share your games and discovering with other lovers of this format. The group is here.
This deck was created primarily as a anti Shaman, anti Reno and anti Edwin (But probably nobody playing rogue). Therefore, there is so many answers for early big minions. Renolock is trying to put T4 Giant and shaman always put T4 Faceless. The deck is also interesting because it has a stable matchup against pirates. The only real problem is the Dragon Priest. It is perhaps the most skill intensive match I've ever played.
Why is this deck soooo goood? Because Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster!!!
My stats:
Favorable match up – All Renodecks, Priest control, All versions of shaman, Patron warrior, Freeze mage, Secret paladin, Anyfin paladin, Malygos warlock
50/50 match up – Pirates warrior, Tempo warrior, classic control warrior (+fatigue), Tempo mage, Jade druid
Slightly unfavorable match up (maybe 40/60) – Dragon priest
Description of individual cards:
Mistress of Mixtures – Currently better one drop than zombie chow. Zombie persist more but Mistress is better in mid game against aggro deck and can save your life even if you play Nzoth only for 1-2 deathrattle minions.
Bubbling book - Better one drop than Mana wyrm. Very good interaction with Brann.
Acidic Swamp Ooze – Key card against two dominant decks on Wild (Shaman and Warrior). Keep it in opening hand against this classes. In mirror match never play Ooze too early, wait for oponents Medivh.
Doomslayer – Good card in many situations keep it always in your starting hand. Only against pirates, it is often only the addition of 7 lives, and not the board clear. Against shaman you always kill Trogg and block second round.
Flamecanon, Frost bolt - early clear (against Brann, Totem golem, Canon, Frothing)
Mad scientist - Early minion and card advantage
Arcane Intellect - Card draw
Brann – One of the best cards in entire deck. In 90% of situations keep it into late game. Classic combo is Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster. Against aggro decks you can use synergy of Brann + Healbot as „second Reno Jackson“. This card can not be replaced by another card.
Deathlord - Key card against aggro and controls. Maybe this card is the main reason why I play Nzoth. He can throw away the key minions of your oponents deck and safe your ass against aggro.
Duplicate + Ice block - Two secrets, both important. Ice block is important against OTK decks. I was always very angry when I played OTK Malylock and opponent played ice block. Duplicate is situational card. Of course, it's best to play for duplicating Kazakus and Kabal courier or Deathlord.
Kabal courier - Need second kazakus? Find him! Need Twisting nether? Find it! Another crazy card in combination with Brann.
Manic soulcaster - This card is very important in my strategy against control decks. I'm trying to win in fatigue and this card you can add another Reno Jackson or with Brann even two cards back into the deck.
Volcanis potion + Twilight flamecaller - early game board clear
Kazakus – It is the best card of new expansion. He can win a lot of games and you can choose what you need in each situation and each match up. In most cases, I prefer 5 cost spell. But there is nothing better than using 10 cost spell than clear board and summon 3 your minions. In another situation this can give you Armor and save your ass . He can also turn the match against warrior pirates. Against Anyfin always pick transform. Against Nzoth always pick global tranform. This card can not be replaced by another card. Don’t play this deck without it. Do not forget the classic combo Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster!
Polymorph - You can neutralize annoying minions (early big minions+Brann or late game cards Ysera etc.)
BGH + Flame lance - As i said these cards are against Shaman and Renolock. If changes meta cut BGH and add taunt or Echo of Medivh.
Cabalist´s Tome - Card advantage
Sludge Belcher - The best taunt minion on Wild
Blizzard + Flamestrike - late game board clear
Reno Jackson - everybody know it
Sylvana - It is great card and there is synergy with Fireball.
Dr. Boom - Sometimes it is advantageous to play this card in synergy with Brann.
Nzoth - Many of you have asked me why I play Nzoth and no Medivh. First of all, I think that Medivh is a bad card. All deck are playing Ooze or Harrison. Secondly Nzoth bring you back taunt minions. Another deathlord may discard the another card from opponent´s deck. You don't need to have big minions to win the game. What I play in deck is absolutely sufficient for my purpose and it is only one of my win conditions.
Other highlights and insights:
Many of you have also asked me why I don´t play Solia. I think it's a bad card. Solia is tempo card, but which Renodeck has tempo?
Why don't you play Emperor? This isn´t Renolock I don´t see why I should play it. This card is good only to "freeze" version with Alexstrasza. I think that "Alex version" isn´t consistent as mine.
What is a strategy against the controls? These matches i usually win in fatigue thanks soulcaster + deathlord. You have far more destruction than other controls and you have many potentional win conditions. Don't hurry and wait.
I didnt had fun for a long time thank u <3
Kazakus what a crazy card if u know how to pick potions
teach me senpai
No Thalnos, Azure Drake, Firelands Portal, Dirty Rat, Arcane Blast? Why?
My guesses?
Bloodmage Thalnos has the draw and spell damage but doesn't help you survive as much as Acidic Swamp Ooze, Doomsayer, or Mad Scientist which gets you ice block
Azure Drake is a possibility IMO, as I haven't found as much value in Big Game Hunter as I anticipated
Firelands Portal is pretty good, but as a 7 cost card, you have Dr. Boom and Flamestrike, and I don't know if portal is better than those, and we already have a fair amount of removal. If it was a more face damage based deck instead of survivability, maybe?
Dirty Rat is another 2 drop, so, for similar reasons as Bloodmage Thalnos
Arcane Blast because of Flamecannon since it does 4 early without needing to combo
Great deck - not easy to play but lot of fun
I always reached rank 5 since ive been playing hearthstone with all types of decks and i wanted to do it with reno mage this time. but the winrate is about 45%. So many cancer decks in wild that just fuck with you. a lot of guys have deathlord in wild who destroys your battlecry minions. really low card draw. Maybe its just not working for me but i've seen far more reliable decks this season.
Hey, what about dirty rat and mc tech? i guess dirty rat is in the same spot as deathlord but why no mc tech?
replaced flamelance for forbidden flame
i kept bgh he seems good to keep
... There are only 2 secrets, so it's a 50/50 chance of it happening. Do you have a 50/50 chance of getting hit by a car when you leave your house? If so you probably should stop going anywhere.
Oh man, just played against a guy with legend card backs, golden paladin portrait
I'm thinking this is going to be secret paladin probably
It's a reno paladin instead.
I played reno with duplicate, got the extra 2 renos!
It gets better though, cabalist's tomb or babbling book gave me ANOTHER duplicate, which ended up netting me another 2 renos
At the end of the game, we were about 7 draws into fatigue, he'd managed to get his reno back in his hand with brewmaster and had 2 cards left in hand, one of them reno. I play my 3rd reno and manic soulcaster, shuffling the now 6th reno back into my deck and preventing next turn fatigue.
I think I gained close to 50+ points of health, still had my ice block in play, 2 reno jacksons in hand, and one in the deck. Guy conceded and gave me the threaten chat heh. One of the best games I've ever played
Nice deck!
Thank you very much for the deck! I have a couple questions on card choice.... I was curious why you didn't have cards like flamelands portal or dirty rat. I see so much combo decks in wild ladder I thought rat would be an auto include. What are your reasons for not including? I'm just curious as to what your opinion is on those cards.
Hopefully this doesn't take up too much of your time by answering me, but I have a few other questions about cards. These cards are - forbidden flame, arcane blast, bloodmage, medievs Vallet "I figured this card would almost always get value from ice block, forgotten torch and water elemental. I figured whater elemental would be great agianst heavy weapon classes. I know I listed a lot of questions here so I would understand if you didn't feel like going over it all.... Thanks again for the deck!
LMAO! I forgot to ask about ethereal conjure.... Last question, I promise!
Manic soulcaster is really necessary ? I dont have it...
Not sure if you really can... This card is amazing. I mean if you throw out reno, you can make a copy. Or copy of Kazakus... basically Manic is OP in a Reno Deck
Replace to Youthful Brewmaster. Is cheaper and have a good effect, looks like Manic.
