Deck Talk: Moonstar's Tournament MoonMage
In this week's Deck Talk, TheChiv had Moonstar, a popular German Hearthstone player, on the show to discuss his MoonMage Tournament deck. This deck is a tournament grade deck so it may not be very helpful in the current meta which is overloaded with Hunters, but it is a great contender in the popular tournament format where you're able to ban an opponent's class.. like Hunter. No one expects Jaina Proudmoore!
Mad Scientist is a staple of the deck to help fish out your Duplicate and Mirror Entity which will help bring your strong minions back and to give yourself some extra board presence by copying your opponent's minions. Clear the board in the endgame with Flamestrike or hold it still with Blizzard to go for the win, or maybe you'll just need to cast a Pyroblast to the face.
The deck clocks in at 6000 Arcane Dust, and includes a handful of Naxxramas cards which really help round out the Mage's arsenal. Check out Deck Talk Episode 5 below where TheChiv and Moonstar discuss Moon's tournament deck in detail.

Brode Tweets
Ben Brode was asking for feedback on the Naxxramas adventure over on Twitter, and he had some answers for some of your questions.
Quote from Blizzard on TwitterWhy didn't more bosses have the interactivity of Kel'Thuzad? he has quips for every class, every other boss has a total of 2 lines.
Wanted to make KT feel special. The other bosses had more than 2, though. - Ben Brode (Source)But why can't we get golden versions of the card from packs? And why can't we use the naxx board?
Don't want to change packs because we don't want you to save them for later. Naxx board helps make naxx feel special (for now) - Ben Brode (Source)Are you guys okay with how eternally strong zoo is? meta changes just seem to add or remove a few cards :/
We are always looking at it. For now we are ok with it - it's not too out of whack with other strong decks. - Ben Brode (Source)I have an idea to make Naxx more replayable. Daily quests, using certain classes on certain bosses? Has this been talked about? Like defeat patchwerk with a Mage and hunter. = 40G and mix this in with the quests that are already there.
Yeah - worried that it stops being fun date the 6th time we tell you to beat patchwerk with Mage. - Ben Brode (Source)
Ben implicity confirmed that we going to see Naxxramas board in the future in ranked/casual/arena as well. Really great news. It is the board with the most interactions IMO, was sad that we only can play on it in the adventure, which i do not visit anymore.
any news on deckslots
Yeah, instead of become after just the first time you beat it...
and btw quests can be changed if not wanted right?
- L
Just once. Then you're stuck with that quest.
Once per day. You can reroll it as many times as you want.
Cool. I suggested to Yong Woo last week that in four or five months they add the Naxx board into the normal rotation (play, arena, solo). Sounds like that will probably be the case.
That would be nice. :)
I hope they do it sooner than that! I would be OK if it's just for people who purchased Naxx (gold/real money). The boards we've got now are getting stale.
Maybe for Blizzcon, instead of giving away a golden card they can give away an alternate board to play on!
They should have made it unlocked for beting heroic Naxx.
Did they fix the interaction between Kel'Thuzad (and also Gruul) and opponent's Ragnaros or did I miss it?
I was wondering the same thing, although since it wasn't addressed maybe it was fixed.
They would have announced if it were fixed. I'm assuming the fix is a more complicated than we would imagine, thus it might be a little while.
yea doesnt KT self rez when rag hits him if KT was played b4 rag or something?
