Hey everyone,
UPDATE! The streak ended at 17. Nice surprise streak 17-1 from Rank 8 to Rank 3 with this deck in <2hrs. Destroys Paladin, Rogue. Good match-up against Cube or Controlock, Priest, Mage unless they have god draw
*Climbed from Rank 17 to Rank 7 with Spiteful Summoner Priest last night (~6 hrs). Lost 5 in a row at Rank 7 and decided to make a change. Was seeing a lot of doomsayers being teched into Cubelock and Controlock and could not get enough damage through. Paladin and Zoolock matchups were dependent on Duskbreaker draws. Mage was a coinflip.
MVPs: Secrets man! All the secrets work together to confuse your opponent, especially if you play them one turn after another. Not sure what the sweet spot is for # of secrets with Cloaked Huntress, but probably 7-8.
Candleshot - This card is insane against other hunters and paladins. It's defensive purpose cannot be overlooked as well. Imagine playing against any common 2-drop 3/2 minion like Sorc apprentice or faerie dragon. As a rogue you would often take 9 damage if you used your weapon. This let's you only take 3, which is game winning in certain match-ups.
Tracking - helps you find lethal, thins your deck, or fills out your curve
Cat trick - Great against Druid, Mage, Rogue (no more tempo, mostly miracle or kingsbane), warlock
Freezing trap - Did not think this would work out well, but it destroyed Mages, Warlocks, big priest. Against Mages, it can prevent one turn of damage. Against Warlocks, if they do not have dark pact they always attack with doomguards/voiddaddies (they don't play around this). Against big priest, obv OP.
Cloaked huntress - basically this gives you insane tempo and your goal is to kill the opponent fast.
Replacements:
I pretty much like all the cards on the list, but Deathstalker Rexxar did not contribute to any of the wins so it is replaceable with another secret, deadly shot, UTH, or spellbreaker.
*Exception is one game where Cubelock was at 6 HP and then Guldan on turn 10 to go to 11. Turn before I had built Dispatch kodo + Jungle Panther (7 mana 7 dmg) and top decked kill command for exact 11 dmg on turn 10 over the top :)
Gluck on the climb! I'll answer questions if you have them.
Can verify this deck is a LOSER for LEVEL 15 (NA server).
I play on NA server and it should perform well at that rank because it's faster than the other popular fast decks. What were you losing to?
Are the 5 minions worth using > Rhok'delar ?
Short answer yes. This deck is meant to win by turn 8 so you don't have enough time to get value from Rhok'delar. Most of the time I won with 1-2 cards left in hand, but ya....the game was over. Also, spellbreaker won me at least 3-4 of the games and I can't imagine the deck without him.
Start of the expansion I played spell hunter with Rhok'delar and it was flat out fun, but it just isn't fast enough in this deck. Spell hunter is very reactive play-wise besides the spellstone and relies on your opponents playing badly around your traps.
I also played some games with Rhok'delar and only 2 minions (Barnes+Y'Sharraj) and that was pretty successful as well, but too high-rolly.
