24th June update: Frozen's Standard Aggro Druid - misplaying with Fledgling and still winning?! (1080p

I have avoided playing Aggro Druid on standard mode... until now. My first experience with Vicious Fledgling was interesting. I clicked 'Windfury'... seems sensible right? I misplayed by selecting it again - one of those moments were you click on reflex. The card is so broken...I was still able to win.
Spoilers:
1:29 Woops... second selection of Windfury on reflex...
1:58 Well... the misplay didn't really matter.
5:03 Scavenging Hyena? No problem...
7:50 "I will hunt you down!"... sure...

27th June update: WILD Tempo mage: Antonidas / Mana Wyrm value - who needs the Flamewaker? (1080p) 

I showcased this deck a couple of weeks ago. It is still strong. In this video, we ponder a very important question. Who needs the Flamewaker? It's all about Antonidas!

Spoilers:
4:50 Living the taunt dream against Pirate Warrior.

23:35 Ruining Pirate Warrior dreams - feels good.

30th  June:  StrifeCro's WILD Justicar Control Warrior: Tank Up fun / Pyros N'Zoth value! (1080p) 

In this video, an old favourite returns. Justicar Trueheart and the 'Tank Up' hero power. We play an old school Wild Control Warrior (thanks to StrifeCro), with N'Zoth value. Watch out for the crazy Pyros value in the last game. I even miss lethal just so I can get N'Zoth value on Pyros! Jarrett Huber (a subscriber on my channel) requested this video - I hope you find this useful.
Spoilers:
11:25 Outlasting Token Druid.
14:01 Overcoming Secrets Paladin.
29:12 Ancient Watcher? How unlucky :-)
32:46 Devolve into....... PYROS....
40:00 Deliberately missing lethal.... so I can play N'Zoth and get double Pyros back ;-)

5th  July: Naftes777's WILD N'Zoth Midrange Hunter - concedes everywhere! (1080p)

You have been asking for it! Here it is! Wild Midrange N'Zoth Hunter. Thanks to naftes777 for the deck. Lots of concedes! Sorry for the sniffling - I have a cold :-(

8th July update: Sharaj WILD Dragon Priest - Overcoming Reno, Pirates and Tokens (1080p) 

Back to Dragon Priest - this time with Radiant Elemental and Curious Glimmerroot. Lots of nice concedes :-)
Spoilers:
7:03 Risking it all, ignoring the potential for Twisting Nether, and pushing damage.
12:25 Pirate Warrior concede feels good...
16:11 Stealing Maelstrom Portal and then 16:47 Wiping their board the following turn = Concede :-)
18:36 Wyrmrest Agent = concede?

https://youtu.be/xFVyKU01QaQ

11th July update: Flamewaker value - forget Antonidas! Mage Fireworks vs Rogue Miracles! (1080p)

Every season, we come back to it. Every season, we have fun. Tempo Mage with Flamewaker still works on wild mode. In the last video, it was all about Antonidas. The Flamewaker wasn't needed. This time, the roles are reversed.

https://youtu.be/SjllAi2TMBc

15th July update: Lektron's WILD Jade Druid: Bullying Pirate Warriors! (1080p) 

Jade Druid on Wild mode. Utilising Sludge Belcher is a big help. In this video, we obliterate Pirate Warriors :-)
Apologies if my voice sounds worse than usual - still recovering from my cold :(

18th July update: StrifeCro vs TempoStorm WILD Control Warrior: Stealing KT, concedes & fatigue! (1080p)

Last season, I featured the StrifeCro N'Zoth Justicar Control Warrior. In this video, we compare the StrifeCro deck to the TempoStorm deck from their recent Meta Snapshot.

Gameplay spoilers:
1:40 You know you win the game when you steal a Shaman's Kel'Thuzad. Oh, their KT had Ancestral Spirit cast on it :-)
8:00 Usually, this deck is favoured against Pirate Warrior. But sometimes, the Pirate Warrior draws enough burn and weapons can gets the win :-(
13:10 Tank Up, Tank Up, Tank Up - oh look, the Mage has run out of burn :-)
21:55 It's Christmas! Playing against 5 secrets is painful.
29:55 Taking a Mage to fatigue. Feels good.
31:33 Hunter sees Deathlord on turn 3 and concedes!
31:52 Facing down Malygos AND Ysera on a Priest board is scary!!

21st July update: mmm3k3's WILD Secrets Paladin - Crabs eating pirates? How does that work? (1080p)

Back to Secrets Paladin - this time with Ragnaros Lightlord. The title of the video had nothing to do with the decks played. I may have had Crawlers in the deck... but there were no pirates to eat :-( . Perhaps I would have preferred to face Pirate Warrior over Control Warrior.
Spoilers:
3:44 Thinking about how crabs eat pirates... how does that work exactly?
6:35 A first for me - casting Blessing of Kings on a Weblord. :-)
7:55 Yes, Dr Boom is in this deck - for all of my viewers that ask for him :-)
9:30 When you are at 2 health, Harrison Jones is too late.
10:03 Divine Favour is amazing in this deck, but it couldn't find me two damage...?!
11:37 A Murloc riding a Stegodon?

Wild Egg Druid to get rank 8.
Spoilers:
6:00 A Priest without AOE is what I like to see.
8:40 Feels good when you can ignore Frothing Berserker :-)
11:40 Living Mana and Mark of the Lotus. The dream...
15:28 Kobold Geomancer?!?!
15:52 Turn4 lethal?!
20:30 Forcing a Pirate Warrior to trade feels good.
22:53 Living Mana and Mark of the Lotus to finish once again against Pirate Warrior. Feels good.

29th July update: WILD Reno Dragon Priest: Punishing aggro decks, Ysera value, Dirty Rat vs Reno (1080p)

Reno Dragon Priest. Ysera. Brann. Kazakus. Operative. Simply put... it's all about the value. Thanks to Mindcopy (from Reddit) for this deck. It took me from rank 10 to rank 6. Some crazy games! Some crazy highlights. My favourite highlight has to be the Reno vs Rat situation starting at 51:15... see below for more details. Look out for some subscriber giveaways over the next few weeks.

- 0:17 Stealing Ysera and going crazy with Lyra.
- 2:00 Holy Nova / Lyra lethal against Zoolock.

- 25:10 Playing a tempo Reno Jackson... my opponent will regret it...
- 38:04 Outlasting Renolock.
- 43:18 Aggro Shaman concedes at 30 health.
- 50:10 I actually got to play Ysera against Pirate Warrior :-)
- 51:15 Barnes reveals the Priest's last card is Reno Jackson. 52:20 I play my Dirty Rat to deny him Reno value. 52:49 The Priest steals my Rat. 53:03 I play my own Reno, denying him value with the Rat.
- 1:14:08 The Mage rage quits after a 20+ minute game...

31st July update: mmm3k3 Secrets Paladin to Rank 5: Destroying Pirate Warriors & Aggro Shamans! (1080p)

I was stuck at Rank 6 playing control decks. A quick switch over to Secrets Paladin took me to rank 5 very quickly.
Spoilers:
2:00 My Priest opponent beat me with Un'Goro Pack value. Made me sad. This is what prompted me to switch to Secrets Paladin to push to rank 5.
9:35 Putting a Pirate Warrior to 1 health feels good.
11:18 Pirate Warrior turn 3 concede!
17:30 Decision making with Ragnaros Lightlord... trade all minions away and guarantee healing to the face?
18:44 Ragnaros riding a Stegodon? A strange sight...
19:33 Cracke for 5. Unlucky ;-)

7th August: Prollystoned's WILD Reno N'Zoth Mage: Streaking into rank 5 with mega Pyros value!

The new expansion is only a few days away. One last push on the wild ladder before it arrives. I usually play Tempo Mage or Secrets Mage. Reno N'Zoth Mage is not something I am experienced with. However, after starting with this deck on Saturday 5th August at rank 10, by Sunday I was rank 5. If you are looking for a deck that can gain you a few ranks before the expansion hits, this deck worked well against control and aggro decks.
Across 30 games, I had a 73% win rate (22 wins, 8 losses). Yes I know it's a small sample, but still impressive - especially considering my lack of experience with Reno Mage.

Gameplay spoilers:

2:30 VS Renolock - When a Warlock is forced to use their combo cards to clear your board...

17:20 VS Pirate Warrior - When Reno is in hand for turn 6, you have nothing to worry about... right?

25:25 VS Druid - I love it when my opponent falls for Pyros / Duplicate ;-)

29:06 VS Mage - Multiple Fireballs from Antonidas is always scary - not sure how, but I managed to survive and drag the game out!
33:27 Firelands Portal gives me Hallazeal!! - which is amazing when you are trying to survive against a Freeze / Burn Mage.
37:40 My opponent pops the Ice Block. I was dead... and then he arrived. FINALLY. Reno Jackson can have a habit of hiding... and then he appears... and your opponent concedes :-)

38:30 VS Mech Mage - When is the last time you saw Mech Mage on the ladder? This Reno Mage deck manages to hold the mechs at bay - but it was a tough battle!
49:10 N'Zoth on an empty board? Yes please. The value!

50:48 VS Renolock - choices choices choices... do you give me Duplicate value on Pyros or on Kazakus? Hmmm :-) The Pyros value in this game was insane!

54:00 VS Murloc Paladin - Rank 5 on the line in this final game.
58:55 Stealing the Paladin's Spikeridged Steed minion feels good. I was able to run the Paladin out of cards and value. That took me to rank 5.

I will see you all later this week, when I will be opening 150+ packs for the new expansion!

13th August update: WILD KotFT Reno N'Zoth Mage: Destroying demons and bullying pirates (1080p)

Pyros. N'Zoth. Kazakus. Death Knight. Reno. Oh and the Lich King. Do we need any more value? This is an initial experiment with Reno Mage, featuring the Frozen Throne cards - so please excuse any misplays. I used greenpm33's deck and made some changes. The deck worked out well against Renolock and I managed to bully a Pirate Warrior. Mill Rogue however... is a problem. I am looking to make refinements to the deck. Any suggestions?

SPOILERS:
2:20 The Lich King. How good is it in this deck?
10:17 Scary moment with the Renolock getting insane Kazakus value.
15:15 You think you are safe, and then they play N'Zoth!
22:00 After all of the threats that were played against me, I am shocked I won.
22:25 Mill Rogues... I faced two of them! Very unusual.
29:05 Bully Pirate Warriors makes me happy.

14th August update: Dpsimi's WILD Frozen Throne Reno MECH Priest - Spare Parts / Lyra value! (1080p)

Time for something unique. Reno Priest with N'Zoth - AND Mechs. Yes that's right. Mechs. Spare spart synergy with Lyra is awesome. Oh, and Spawn of Shadows. A fun, interesting and engaging deck. Thanks to Dpsimi for the deck.

SPOILERS:
7:45 Destroying Murlocs is fun. So much fun.
10:00 A board full of buffed Murlocs with Everyfin is Awesome. Usually this would be dangerous. Coin into Shadowreaper Anduin wins me the game. Very satisfying.
14:42 How unfortunate for my opponent - that moment where Deathlord brings out a card with a battlecry :-)
17:18 Stealing Dr Boom feels good.
19:10 Roping with Lyra was still beneficial.
21:20 Spare parts don't just combo with Lyra. They go well with Priest of the Feast. They also help you kill minions ;-)

15th August: HirschyKiss's Frozen Throne WILD Reno Priest - with the Recruiter?! (1080p) 

We return to Reno N'Zoth Priest on the wild mode ladder, but with a new twist - the Recruiter! Certainly an interesting deck, with Raza, Recruiter and Priest DK synergy. Skulking Geist is so good against Inner Fire / Divine Spirit combo Priest!
