Thanks to Andree59 (from Reddit) for this deck. A lot of fun! Still happy to be at rank 4. Spoilers: 0:11 Thanks to Earwinfirwat for the kind words! 6:00 When a Rogue draws perfectly, there is nothing you can do :-( 7:00 When they draw a second Conceal... what can you do? 13:12 Thaddius value! Feugen and Stalagg actually worked! 13:48 The Paladin makes a 12-12. Too late!
20th August: Terrapinandspin's WILD DK Hunter - Making hunter great again? (1080p)
Wild mode. Deathrattles. Trying to make Hunter great again... and failing. I struggled against aggro, but managed to beat a Renolock. If anyone has any suggestions regarding Hunter in wild mode, please comment below.
Back to Wild mode. Comparing two Renolocks: Option A) Renolock with demons and deathrattle minions coming back to life? Or Option B) just demons coming back to life? Hmmm...
26th August update: Grubox's WILD Evolve Shaman - no need for Thrall Deathseer? (1080p)
So it turns out that Evolve Shaman is still pretty good. The question is, is Thrall Deathseer really even needed? Or is double Evolve simply enough to win games? The first two games went well. The final game against the Priest did not go to plan... :-(
27th August update: RenoJackson's WILD Divine Shield Paladin + final battle against the Lich King (1080p)
Time for some divine shield buff Paladin on Wild mode! Bolvar Fireblood is an awesome card - if only for his entrance effect! We end the video with my final battle against the Lich King - using Kel'Thuzad and Scaled Nightmare to win.
28th August update: Drunkturtle's Machinegun WILD Priest - Mechanical Yeti and Spawn of Shadows! (1080p)
I am having so much fun with this deck. It works well against aggro decks. You can match up well against other control decks too - although Jade Druid can be a problem. Oh and Mill Rogue - I hate Mill Rogue. Some cool matches and highlights, including a sad ending against an Evolve Shaman - Antonidas and Rag. That's all you need to know...
5th September update: Schmiddy's WILD N'Zoth Paladin (1080p)
I haven't had much luck with control style Paladin since the Frozen Throne expansion. Regardless, this deck is certainly fun. One day, I will find a way to get full value on the Paladin DK hero power! Gameplay spoilers: 1:38 Unfortunate game against a Warlock. Lightlord and taunts could not save me. 2:30 Facing pirate hunter?! 5:30 Going up against a more aggressive Paladin.
6th September update: Powah's WILD Jade Druid - Crazy games against Priests! (1080p)
Wild Jade Druid. Enough said. In before the upcoming nerfs! Spoilers: 6:38 Taunts win against Pirate Warrior. 14:45 When you commit to the board and don't plan for the Priest DK :-( 23:45 How long will Ysera stay on the board for? 34:10 Running through all of the Priest's threats and outlasting him with Jade Golems. 35:08 My Priest opponent becomes the Druid DK and then switches to being a Priest DK. Crazy game!
10th September update: hsLr54's WILD greedy Mage - Sindragosa, Malygos and Floating Watcher fun! (1080p)
In this video, I am playing hsLr54's mage, which is very very greedy. Fun times!
Spoilers: 4:05 / 5:27 Frozen Clone is pretty interesting... more greed! 5:35 Deathlord into....... Malygos! Oh dear... 8:47 Faceless Manipulator... hmm... 9:30 Firelands Portal into Floating Watcher, very nice! 10:57 Sindragosa. Time for value... or not... I get Knuckles... 12:10 Deathwing... now that's value! :-) 13:05 Unstable Portal works out well for my opponent. 14:15 N'Zoth value - sort of...
16th September update: Awedragon's WILD Reno N'Zoth DK Priest to rank 5 - losing to giants, dominating pirates (1080p)
Awedragon's Reno N'Zoth Deathknight Priest... my favourite version of the deck so far, on my path to Rank 5. Spoilers: 0:40 Feeling safe against the giants... underestimating the potential for double Swipe :-( 1:37 More giants :-( 2:55 The perfect answer to a board full of demons... :-) 10:45 Spawn of Shadows lethal. Feels good. 19:55 Silly potion brings Doomsayer back to life :-( 20:35 Second potion brings Doomsayer back AGAIN!... the RNG! 23:20 Going to be rich against Pirate Warrior! 24:30 Getting to rank 5 with Spawn of Shadows!
24th September update: Frozenthrone WILD Demonlock - with Zoo style early game & Imp Gang Boss? Hmm...(1080p)
In this video, we explore a slightly different take on Demonlock. How about a deck that has more of a zoo style early game start? Oh and Imp Gang Boss is in this deck. We have debated this in previous videos. I haven't changed my mind. I don't like Imp Gang Boss in any deck that plays the Warlock DK... Oh and check out the awesome voice imitations by Earwinfirwat at the start.
Earwinfirwat is an awesome wild player. Check out his channel. Oh and another cool player who plays crazy decks and one of the few people I subscribe to on Twitch: SamKnowsHS.
27th September update: Control's WILD Iron Juggernaut Control Warrior (1080p)
Time for a bit of fun. Iron Juggernaut and Brann Bronzeboard can give you unexpected lethals! Although, it can be a tricky combo to pull off. In order to buy time, you have Brawls, armour gain and N'Zoth. Probably not the most effective deck in the meta, but it is fun :-) Gameplay spoilers: 2:20 King's Defender is not too bad! 6.45 Living life on the edge, not fearing Bloodlust! 13:20 Welcome to the Grand Tournament! 14:58 Living life on the edge again - don't care about Bloodlust. I just want my Brann / Juggernaut combo! :-) 17:43 The Shamans were easy to beat. The Priest was a problem. This deck was too slow against the zero cost damage hero power.
1st October update: Sipiwi94's WILD Reno Velen DK Priest - combating an early season aggro meta! (1080p)
It's the start of the October season. Everyone plays aggro decks! In response, I am play Sipiwi94's Reno DK Priest. You will notice that Prophet Velen, Spawn of Shadows, Raza and Anduin are often not needed against aggro. Simply clearing their board with AOE is usually enough to make them concede :-) Spoilers: 3:30 Running a Zoolock out of cards and winning without needing Velen, Spawn of Shadows, DK or Raza! 8:10 Whirling Zap-o-matic - not seen that card for ages! 8:40 Dirty Rat brings out....... oh dear. 15:20 Taking on a 'Big' Priest - I don't know if I played this game correctly. More importantly, why did he concede? Surely he had more resurrection spells?
5th October update: Slizzle466's WILD Aggro Druid - Crypt Lord and Crazed Alchemist value! (1080p)
We continue our journey through the October season, aiming for rank 10. After playing a lot of Priest, I fancied playing an aggro deck. Aggro Druid. The Frozen Throne added Crypt Lord to the mix. This taunt just keeps growing and growing... and growing. This serves two purposes: a) Other aggro decks struggle to punch through it. b) Once the Crypt Lord's health is high enough, Crazed Alchemist and Savage Roar will end the game.
Spoilers: 7:35 Alchemist Cryptlord combo :-) 11:05 Outpacing a Priest 12:50 Aggro vs Aggro - racing an 8-8 Vancleef. 15:45 Mass Dispel not enough to save the Priest!
8th October update: Redvader8's Dragon Mage - Something different for the wild mode ladder (1080p)
Reno Mage seems to have fallen out of favour on the wild mode ladder. How about adding dragons? Thanks to Redvader8 for this deck. It's a lot of fun, but could probably benefit from some refinement. It absolutely smashes aggro decks. Control can be a little more tricky - although, the dragons can provide an early aggressive presence on the board. In particular, the dragons are great against Priest - Dragonfire potion is rendered ineffective. Oh and one more thing - the greed! Sindragosa and Dr Boom are in this deck :-) (along with N'Zoth!).
14th October update: WILD C'Thun Warrior with Dead Man's Hand - Tanking up out of range from Priest :-) (1080)
Is this deck an effective counter to Priest? Tank Up negates the damage from the Priest's hero power. Dead Man's Hand can let you win the fatigue war. Armour gain and board clear effects can wreck aggro decks.
This is a fun and effective deck, but needs some luck to make it work. There are some issues: 1) The loss of Fiery Win Axe is felt. 2) Sometimes you don't draw Disciple of C'Thun or C'Thun's Chosen and end up with Ancient Shieldbearers and Twin Emperors as dead cards in your hand. 3) C'Thun is vulnerable to Hex, Polymorph and Kazakus Mystic Wool potions. This means that Doomcaller gets no value. 4) Perhaps the Emperor would be good to include in this deck, making it easier to pull off Brann and C'Thun or Brann and Doomcaller combos.
21st October update: N'Zoth WILD Control Warrior vs the Murloc Paladin that wouldn't run out of steam! (1080p)
The Fiery War Axe nerf has hit Control Warrior hard. However, I continue to experiment with different Control Warrior builds. In this video I compare this N'Zoth build to the Juggernaut and C'Thun decks played in previous weeks. We showcase one lengthy game against a Murloc Paladin - which wouldn't give up! Every time I thought I would stabilise, the Paladin threw out a new set of threats. In the end, Tank Up helped massively. N'Zoth was also a big deal. Oh and Dead Man's Hand turned out to be a dead card!
22nd October update: Scorpion's WILD N'Zoth Control Warrior: Welcome to the Grand Tournament! (1080p)
Welcome to the Grand Tournament! Oh wait... wrong expansion! This is my final video looking at Control Warrior in wild mode. According to the latest wild Vicious Syndicate report, Control Warrior is Tier 4 - i.e. hardly anyone is playing it. I guess that means it is the best time to play it, since nobody expects it. Without Fiery War Axe, Control Warrior still has problems against aggro decks (if you can't draw your Brawls and AOE quickly enough). However, against Priest, I am convinced that you are favoured due to Tank Up :-)
17th August: Frozen Throne WILD Reno N'Zoth Hunter (1080p)
