Hey everyone, time for the memes! Menagerie Warden OTK and N'Zoth, the Corruptor!

This was what I'd consider to be my very first original take on deck building on my own, let alone building around an otk that very few people use. I've had plenty of fun with it from back in the day when the deck looked a bit different than how it does now. I decided to share this version & I hope you enjoy it!

***Some disclaimers first***

This is a heavy meme deck, combining an almost forgotten OTK, with N'Zoth as an alternate win condition. Don't expect to win tons of games with this deck since combining both of these lowers the consistency of your wins depending on the type of match-up. This is primarily meant to be a fun meme deck that sometimes pulls off a funny and unexpected win through an unexpected OTK, or you may just win purely from N'Zoth (which as a druid is pretty unexpected already). The type is meant to surprise pretty much any opponent.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice a part of your combo and win with a 'mini-combo'. I've had plenty of games where waiting for the full combo will cause me to lose a more aggressive match-up, and I end up having to steal a win without both Sargents (so only having 18 damage burst), or without Brann (for 12 damage finisher). All it depends really on deciding if you can afford waiting for the full combo or not, and if you can't deciding how you can get that win.

Remember to have fun with the deck! Some of the most fun I've had with this deck in the last few expansions has been from wins where the opponent had no idea what I was playing until I OTK them in the end, and they added me to laugh about the game we just played.

For those who don't know what the Menagerie Warden OTK even is it goes like this:

Thaurassian procs & reduces three of the five cards you need (Abusive Sargent x2, Druid of the Saber, Brann, and/or Menagerie Warden).

Next, you need a completely empty board. Then,

• Summon Druid of the Saber (Choosing Charge of course)
• Summon Brann Bronzebeard
• Play both Abusive Sergeant on the druid (buffing it up to 10 atk)
• Play Menagerie Warden on the druid to deal 30 charge damage to face

The way that this deck plays is by either ramping into your mid-game deathrattles, and later Nourish and UI, or curving into your early & mid-game minions to establish a board while you draw into Thaurassian and your combo pieces.

Specific Card Choices:

Eater of Secrets : A must have in case you run into Ice Block (which is almost guaranteed with any mage match-up. While I have won a couple of games against mages who had Ice Block and Reno it isn't likely to happen very much. It is a dead card against all other match-ups, it is better than being unfavored against mages if they stabilize after your N'Zoth turn.
