~The real MVPs~

Hello Hearthpwn!

Originally I made this deck because I was frusterated with the meta and wanted to make something fun. But after playing it for a while I think I've realized that it's shockingly strong. Plus what's more fun than PLAYING BIG F#CKING BEASTS! The strategy of the deck is fairly straightforward, but it can be a bit tricky to play. So if you're looking for a deck that is fun but also somewhat viable, this is the deck for you!

 

*May 22nd Update: This deck is still going strong and only seems to have gotten stronger after the nerfs. I haven't really made any tweaks in a while because honestly I don't know what I'd want to swap. But I'll keep playing and refining and let you know of any updates.

Also free free to check out my other standard decks, Piperbuff Paladin and Bakunox Druid!

 

~ General Strategy ~

There are 4 general phases to this deck, and they typically fall in this order:

Phase 1 - Stall
Use your secrets (Wandering Monster. Freezing Trap), removal (Eaglehorn Bow, Wing Blast, Flanking Strike), and ealy-game tools (Stitched Tracker, Loot Hoarder) to stall the early game.
Phase 2 - Setup
Start gathering your value and combo pieces. Use Stitched Tracker to fetch you your big f#cking dinos (King Krush, Swamp King Dred, and honorary dino Savannah Highmane), as well as Kathrena Winterwisp and Carnivorous Cube.
Phase 3 - PLAY YOUR BIG F#CKING BEASTS!
Use Corpse Widow to make your deathrattles cheaper in order to make big power plays using Savannah Highmane, Kathrena Winterwisp, Carnivorous Cube, and Play Dead, This is also when you can use Kathrena Winterwisp to pull out King Krush and Swamp King Dred from your deck.
Phase 4 - Finish Em' Off
Use Deathstalker Rexxar to close out the game if your dinos and Carnivorous Cube+Play Dead combos haven't gotten the job done already. Emeriss is also an options to get a burst of value if you need it.

And that's pretty much the game plan. Just take your time, think things through, and you'll be fine. I'll do my best to keep this decklist as updated as possible. Best of luck on ladder!

 

~ Mulligan Guide ~

Wing Blast (always keep 1)	Loot Hoarder (always)	Eaglehorn Bow (keep it as long as you've got some other early game cards)
Flanking Strike (always keep 1)	Wandering Monster (always)	Stitched Tracker (keep it as long as you've got some other early game cards)
Explosive Trap (keep vs. aggro)	Deadly Shot (keep vs. control)	Play Dead (never keep it, it is a late game value tool)

 

 

~ Card Choices ~

The Early Game	Wandering Monster Eaglehorn Bow Stitched Tracker Flanking Strike Explosive Trap Loot Hoarder	The purpose of these cards is to help you survive the early game to stall towards your powerful end game. There are lots of options here you could consider, such as a secret package (e.g. Freezing Trap, Rat Trap, Lesser Emerald Spellstone) or some anti-aggro tools like Plated Beetle or Mind Control Tech.
The Removal	Deathstalker Rexxar Houndmaster Shaw Swamp King Dred King Krush Eaglehorn Bow Flanking Strike Explosive Trap Freezing Trap Wing Blast	The goal with these cards are to stall or counter your opponent's gameplan. Feel free to sub or add in tech cards like Spellbreaker, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Charged Devilsaur, Harrison Jones, or Mind Control Tech based on what you're facing.
The Deathrattle Package	Kathrena Winterwisp Carnivorous Cube Savannah Highmane Corpse Widow Rotten Applebaum Loot Hoarder Play Dead	Half the core of the deck. This gives you you bulk of your value plays in the deck. This entire package is core to the deck and the deck won't work without it. Feel free to add in Terrorscale Stalker or Spiritsinger Umbra if you need more value.
The Big F#cking Beasts	Kathrena Winterwisp Swamp King Dred King Krush Savannah Highmane Corpse Widow	The other half of the core of the deck. This gives you the bulk of your late game tempo plays in the deck. Kathrena Winterwisp and Savannah Highmane are critical, but you have a little wiggle room with the other cards. While I think these cards work best, other beasts you can slot in are Violet Wurm or Charged Devilsaur.
The End Game	Emeriss Deathstalker Rexxar	These cards are your closers and your way to end the game after your dinos bring the pain. Emeriss can be replaced no problem but Deathstalker Rexxar is mandatory. A tip though for using Build-A-Beast, try to pick beasts with Deathrattle, Poisonous, and/or Taunt, and aim for total mana costs of 4-7 mana.
