We'll be covering the entire event live, so check back tomorrow for details!
The stream starts at 10 AM PDT on Friday, August 14.
The Grand Tournament - Currently Released Cards
So far we've seen 78 cards out of the 132 cards set. You can find all currently released Grand Tournament cards over on our TGT Guide, and you can theorycraft decks with all of them in our deckbuilder. What sort of decks have you been coming up with?
Deck Spotlight: Theorycraft Aviana OTK Druid
While we're all hyped for The Grand Tournament, so taking a look at a theorycraft/fun deck tonight, Horuse's Aviana OTK Druid. The goal with this deck is to get to turn 10 and pull an insane combo to one-turn-kill your opponent. This is done by hoping for some great RNG and then:
- Play Aviana and an Innervate.
- Play Malygos and then clone Maly with two Faceless Manipulators.
- Double Moonfare to the face! 32 value damage.
What kind of Aviana shenanigans are you thinking of? This deck comes in at 9060 arcane dust, and makes use of two of the currently revealed TGT cards - Aviana, and Living Roots. Check out the deck write-up to learn more about this deck.

Aviana was so short lived...
SET COME OUT NOW?!
moonFARE.
Is there a link to the live stream, or is it not up yet?
Getting pumped for the livestream. I bet we get a large card dump today, then the rest on Monday. The expansion gets released mid-next week.
Interesting, even if knowing that it won't work.
Ive got a better combo deck. You play mage, you play duplicate, play a naked faceless, have it die, play 1 more faceless with another duplicate, then play a rag, then turn after that you copy rag twice, wait another turn copy it twice again. such a good deck. kappa
Now MalyLock is a fairly hard combo to pull. It's 3 cards for 17 to the face.
For this to work turn 10, you're telling me I need in hand, all at once:
AND
You were not reading carefully. Aviana is 9 mana, play it on turn 10 you have 1 mana left, play innervate 3 mana left, then play Maly and two faceless for one mana each, then play two moonfire for zero mana each. That's 12 mana exactly. You are excepting to kill your opponent the same turn when you drop Aviana.
To be fair, you can also Aviana, Alex, Malygos, Moonfire x2, Living Roots, with One Faceless being interchangeable with Living Roots.
Still i feel your comment is pretty spot on. I feel like having two faceless is too clunky, and the deck doesn't even take into account warriors who can hero power above 30. Even with more defence cards than this it is possible to die from aggro, and 7-8 cards are dedicated to a combo.
Hey! There's a little mistake there:
It's Moonfire, now give me an achievment for this hahah
Hey! There's a little mistake there:
It's achievement, now give me a +1 for this hahah
THERE YOU GO! xD
Thanks flux for the countdowns as always!
I hope we finally get a release date!!!
wombo combo
This is priceless. I love that it's a Thomas the Tank Engine
Malygos double Faceless Manipulator and Moonfire combo looks like a theatre script.
will they reveal ALL the remaining tgt cards at the stream ??
