Hearthpwn

Note - I'm aware of the upcoming changes to Corridor Creeper, but it's not essential to this deck. It's just, as in just about any deck right now, a great card. I like to think it can be slotted out easily enough after the patch.

Okay, so hear me out. This deck won't likely net you the top of the ladder, but I'll be damned if I haven't been having some great fun with it, and winning more often than not. I've managed to win pretty easily against most aggro matches, (depending on the draw, obviously), and even had some luck with Raza Priest and Jade Druid. Warlock is a different animal entirely, and while I've managed to squeak out a few wins against them, it's been tough and I had to play very creatively and patiently. Which brings me to my main highlight, the deck is surprisingly diverse!

It stemmed from pondering if Spiteful Summoner could be used in decks that aren't as often highlighted, so I turned to Shaman, because it's been a favorite class of mine, even if it's tanking kinda hard in the meta right now. What does shaman have? Well it doesn't have a 10 cost spell, but it does have Lesser Sapphire Spellstone (and Everyfin is Awesome in wild, but that's a tough build) and some great 5 cost spells in Bloodlust and Volcano.

Now, a problem with many decks trying to make the spellstone work is that overload is tough. Aiming for a big swing turn later at the expense of slow turns beforehand is a gamble, and building all overload is kind of counter intuitive to the aggression that overload intends, (oh, you played a Flamewreathed Faceless? Does it have taunt? Well, then, excuse me, sir, while I find my place with the face), AND you need to meet the 3 crystal overload to upgrade spellstone, which means that Faceless isn't enough on it's own.

So to address that, I added just a sprinkling of stall taunt cards in Drakkari Defender and an Earth Elemental that do just that, overload 3, so dropping just one is enough to upgrade a spellstone, which allows you to have more fluid turns in between. I tossed in a single Eternal Sentinel to counter the overload on odd turns, to help play smoothly into a turn 6 Spiteful. This means a decent early game in many minions that impose a threat with the Bloodlust we already included. It means some good taunts to stall and ask for answers. I included Murmuring Elemental because it can have some great synergy with Stonehill Defender, Zola the Gorgon and even Spiteful Summoner.

It's already a very unorthodox deck, but the REAL fun comes when you start playing outside the box with Grumble, Worldshaker. Comboing with Zola the Gorgon along with powered up spellstones has given me some pretty crazy results when paired with all of the other shenanigans going on. Spellstoning a Murmuring Elemental Bonemared White Eyes was a highlight.

Downside? It doesn't answer everything, and sometimes you draw poorly. Exodia Mage could care less if you fill your board. Warlock just...well...Warlocks. You'll have tough games at times, but that's the point of (Blizzard's attempt at balancing) Hearthstone. But the key is patience and creativity. 

Sometimes you don't have to play meta to have fun. Will climbing the ladder with aggro pally or snailing your way up with cubelock be more efficient? Sure, probably. But making your opponent go "Wait...what?" is often worth trying something different, and in the end, it's all about fun.

I hope you enjoy the deck, and please feel free to comment and share your experiences. If it's fun, lemme know. If it's terrible, well, lol, lemme know! If nothing else, I hope it kinda scratches that itch to try something different, and maybe inspire you to go ahead and try your own thing.

Good luck and have fun!
