Update 1: We made it! More than 50 Upvotes and Frontpage it is, you memers!
Update 2: Added Doomsayer to the deck. Combos nice with Dirty Rat as always.
Update 3: Did you know, King Togwaggle swapped this deck with the #1 Frontpage deck? More than 150 Upvotes. What is wrong with you guys? But I feel honored, thank you for the support.
Update 4: Added FAQ, as we hit the 200 Upvote milestone.
Update 5: 300 Upvotes. THIS! IS! MADNESS!
Update 6: I removed Primordial Drake which could work as a benefit for the opponent after switching decks.
Update 7: 400... How long can this go on?
Update 8: Five freakin' hundred... I am speechless and I actually think, we will break the meta. At least for day 1 of the new expansion. Trolden, you are welcome. You will probably owe me half of your YouTube money after the KaC launch. Kek
Update 9: 666 Upvotes. I guess, you've left me no choice but to do this... I will stream playing this deck, starting on thursday (or friday, whenever the expansion launches on the EU-servers) at 2pm CET. Catch me @ twitch.tv/envyhey
Hey guys,
so over at the King Togwaggle release page, this guy CarneDeLamba (credit where credit is due) had a wonderful idea, that makes Azari, the Devourer look like a tame kitty crying in the corner.
It is a combo around King Togwaggle, Explore Un'Goro and Skulking Geist.
General Gameplan
1) Draw and survive until you have those 3 cards in hand.
2) On 10 mana you play King Togwaggle to switch decks and Explore Un'Goro so their deck becomes Choose Your Path only, which happen to also be 1-Mana spells.
3) If they decide to switch decks again with King's Ransom you stand up, jump in the air, yell: "Hold my beer, Azari, and let me show you how it's done!" But actually you just play Skulking Geist to destroy their deck.
Fun facts
- Even without destroying their deck, this counters any deck, that relys on a Combo or a specific card - namely Highlander Priest, Quest Mage, Jade Druid and many more. Even in the mirror match.
- If your opponent decides to NOT switch back, he has a deck with no threats at all. Only card draw and removal - if any is left.
- There is a possibility to not let them have King's Ransom by a comboing Coldlight Oracle, The Coin and King Togwaggle. Be careful with that and only use it, when they are deeper into fatigue and you are sure you can outlast them. Otherwise the original Combo is way more reliable.
FAQ:
- Isn't your opponing running Skulking Geist a total hard counter for this deck?
If your opponent manages to play Skulking Geist after you play King Togwaggle and Explore Un'Goro you are pretty much screwed, yes. However keep the following in mind:
- Your opponent has to run Geist, which is not very common nowadays (but happens occasionally).
- Your opponent needs to keep it in his hand until you pull of the first part of your combo. If he does that, you can potentially pull it out by playing Dirty Rat, which - if Skulking Geist becomes the meta - can be teched in a second time. - Why not also run Dead Man's Hand?
The answer to this one needs a lot of explenation, so brace yourselves:
- DMH can only be played after the combo, otherwise it would make your draws to inconsistens.
- You need to assemble 5 cards instead of 3 before you can pull off your combo or you would give DMH together with your deck to your opponent, which would screw with the intention of this deck to either destroy their deck or giving them nothing playable. With this, he suddenly has a totally viable DMH Warrior and a skilled player could still win or at least make the game a draw.
- If you want to outlast your opponent in a DMH style, you are probably better of without the Togwaggle shenanigans. This version focuses on destroying your opponent's deck before it gets to fatigue. - Wait. Isn't it better to play Explore Un'Goro first and King Togwaggle after?
I know the reasoning behind your thought, but since you give your opponent King's Ransom into his hand he could always just get his deck back. Think about it just a little bit more. The ordering in the description is the right one. :) - Why not add a secong Explore Un'Goro and Skulking Geist to make the combo more consistent?
I know it sounds odd, but it actually makes it more inconsistent. Why? You can't leave either of those in your deck, because your opponent has the chance to draw them after you switch decks - if they draw Skulking Geist they can destroy your deck before you can. If they draw Explore Un'Goro your Skulking Geist would destroy both decks. So you would have to draw 5 instead of 3 cards = more inconsistency.

See Kiwii N Bacon play the deck on his YouTube Channel
Jesus, this deck is so evil.
I actually really like the thought behind this deck. Like actually what does the opponent do if you get the combo fast enough? I'd recommend swapping out coldlight oracle's for other draw just because you want to get rid of as many of your opponents cards as possible. You don't have to take the meme that seriously though.

See, now I have to go and spend my dust on King Togwaggle to build this deck, instead of something useful. lol
You should add Ticking Abomination for the memes. And possibly Gather Your Party to pull him. Lol.
.
Perhaps you should try reading the deck description.
Face decks might be better suited if you can't read the description
Unfortunately your logic has an error, YOU ARE HOLDING THE SKULKING GEIST AND YOU TURN HIS DECK INTO 1 COST SPELLS, NOT YOUR OWN.
Why is this deck getting so many votes?
Did you look at what it does?
This is Hearthstone at its core... The way the game should be played by everyone... Interesting decks with funny wincons that is actually different from everything we have seen so far.
Also still viable! Perhaps he will edit the deck later to put a couple of newly revealed cards in.
this would be more non-interactive crap like raza priest but instead of damaging your soul one hero power at a time, it damages your sense of humor. It sounds fun to play, but not play against. I would rather see this than a rogue any day though.
also, this won't be fun to play if everyone plays it cause once you do the togwaggle deal, your deck is gonna disappear from your opponent's geist which is also run in a couple other decks anyways.
This seems like such a good idea but there's no after togwaggle gameplay that you have. you've used all your resources to pull this off so it might be extremely hard to survive unless they have almost nothing in their and
You have Explore Un'goro. Every card in your deck is effectively a bad version of anything you want it to be, and they have nothing noteworthy.
Nice combo! If I get a King Togwaggle I will try this out too, seems fun.
Nice idea, I will try the deck when the new expansion come out.
Wow. the community here are fucking idiots. the level of explanation they need to understand how this deck runs is embarrassing - probably the same people complaining about decks being posted here are shit because they couldn't hit legend with it. I wonder why that is.....
