1 more game this time vs Shudderwock Shaman where i didnt draw Azalina in time, but it will give an idea of how it can play out.https://hsreplay.net/replay/ToEJdVsutRBdFMq2DisLh7

and another vs Shudderock. https://hsreplay.net/replay/mC3VzXaF5FS89X3R5CCjM8

Both games against Shudderwock are lost and Azalina wasn't played there, or did I miss something?

 But anyway, thanks. I think I got the main idea

Looks like fun, ill give it a shot later. Ill probably replace azalina with zola though, I havent found azalina overly useful in odd warrior.

 totally. Azalina is great against Shudderwock Shaman and Druid. after that, not much else besides the occasional RNG to save the game. 

Taunt up is just so strong, many different types of Odd decks work with it just fine I am finding. There is probably a few % points difference of course, but if your not super picky about that, its all good. 

The nerfs are gonna encourage aggro alot more, so have to see how ODD does starting tomorrow. Take it easy!

 Could you please explain how to play Azalina against Shudderwock? Just copying it doesn't seem to be good enough as you don't have all the battlecries for combo. Is there some trick?

Asking because I plan to craft odd warrior soon and Shudderwock matchup is one of the most worrying. So any advice on countering it is appreciated.

What is to fail though?  Failing means something specific for most people (winning=good losing=bad end story), but that doesn't make if factually so, and that's the problem.  There's no high ground to say a card is bad and can't be played when that opinion is in a vacuum.  Just like with food, quality ingredients cost more money than basic ingredients; to make the good stuff you have to sacrifice something, either your time, money or both.

 Well, by fail I mean to spend the resources for the deck that will not be good enough to play it competitively

 Now you've hit it.  How can you really know if a deck goes from competitive to non-competitive?  By switching out one card, two cards, etc?  If your definition of competitive is the exact copy of the deck that was used in a tournament, you'll find yourself more frustrated at the nuonces of the game instead of learning from everything.  Tl:dr too many people are quick to judge things they have no business doing so, we see this every time spoiler season happens and people "evaluate" new cards.  Trust your get and get as much data as possible.

 Oh, that's quite easy. When you start getting a winrate less than 25% after switching to a new deck and it doesn't get better after 20 matches - that means the deck is probably not competitive

Because Lich King is just straight up better. 

 

 

 

Haha 😂 and you can’t even downvote me. 

 Sure, in ODD warrior.

 r/woooosh

But honestly, it doesn't matter if you run any card in any list. Your deck doesn't have to be exactly the same as someone else's. I find that Y'Sera is either too slow or doesn't do anything for me. If it works for you, then, by all means, go ahead. It's like making food in a restaurant, you don't season the food to anyone's likes, you season it so it tastes good. You can then add any additional seasonings that you want.

Maybe that's why they're called deck recipies.

 Well, that's understandable. But when you plan to make a deck which will require you to put all the dust reserves into it - better not to fail :) At least not to fail too much

I love to have Ysera in the deck. But like other said, useless vs aggro while Control deck can kill it easily due to you have no other threat in your deck so your opponent likely still have plenty of removals for the card.

But the other dragon, Alex is much more useful. Can save your ass sometimes after the aggro mage throw all his spell at you and you at single digit health, or a 2 turn surprise lethal with Gowlhowl 

 Thanks. I have both Alex and Gorehowl, so may try them too

Quote from Kwakdizzle >>

What would you cut for it? Whenever you ask why a card isn't run, you first have to ask that. The anti-fatigue cards are value enough, and the rest of the deck is removal. Ysera is just suboptimal because it's so slow and doesn't do enough. 

 I'm considering replacements for Elise the Trailblazer as I don't have it and don't want to craft expensive cards that will be rotated soon. Would prefer not to craft gluttonous ooze as well

Hi. I was planning to start playing Odd Warrior for some time and looked through different deck lists. I'm wondering why Ysera doesn't appear in any of them? It seems to be a good value generator for a slow deck like odd warrior. So there should be a reason why it's not there.

Can anyone enlighten me?
