Similar to my [QUEST] Infinite BIG Taunt N'Zoth C'Thun deck with the one turn Hadronox + Carnivorous Cube, but without N'Zoth, the Corruptor and C'Thun, instead, opting for a second win route via Malygos + Faceless Manipulator + Kun the Forgotten King.
This variation of my previous Quest Deck seems to be performing better.
Jist of the deck:
Generate armor with Oaken Summons and/or Branching Paths to sustain yourself through aggro as well as to advance your Jungle Giants quest - or use Branching Paths to draw cards if your mulligen sucks.
Use Fatespinner's 3 damage to all minions to clear boards early (drop a 2nd one for 6 damage to all minions).
If no armor cards available, hopefully you can ramp up with Wild Growth and/or Nourish.
Use Oaken Summons to pull out Cursed Disciples to advance Jungle Giants quickly.
Use Malfurion the Pestilent to give yourself 5 armor and, if absolutely necessary, put up some taunts to help you survive.
HADRONOX COMBO
You need to summon Barnabus the Stomper to get Hadronox or Carnivorous Cube to cost zero (0) for LOTS OF BIG TAUNTS -> After opponent wipes most of your taunt minions, play Hadronox and then Carnivorous Cube it - if no cube, you can use Faceless Manipulator for two Hadronox (in case of silence) or if in a pickle, you can Naturalize it.
MALYGOS COMBO
Get your Malygos or Faceless Manipulator or Kun the Forgotten King to cost zero (0) through Barnabus the Stomper. If you have both Moonfires or are able to cast Swipes with Malygos x2 on the board, that is a minimum of 11 damage and a maximum of 50 damage from your spells + damage from your big taunts!
TIPS
Try to Nourish and/or Ultimate Infestation when you've triggered your quest (Ultimate Infestation is best when you have 6 or less cards in your hand - using it brings 10 cards to your hand, and hopefully you pulled some zero cost minions or taunts to bring it under 10).
Do not be afraid to use up all your big taunt minions and just keep dropping them. As they get destroyed, you can re-summon them all with Hadronox and Carnivorous Cube.
Cool deck, got from rank 5 to 3 with it whilst playing for fun.
Did drop both ironbark protectors in favor of 1 jade blossem and 1 dark arrakora to fill in the curve a bit better, seemed to work better. Since getting those taunt out early vs aggro is key imo.
Games vs control are quite easy!
Cheers
So Im thinking if you replaced the jade blossom with Prince Taldaram the deck might work even better.
don't have taldaram ;), but i noticed this decks does not fare that well against aggro decks, so we should definetly try to get to the later game ASAP. Even thinking about adding Spreading Plague even though it's not good with hadronox. ofcourse vs control you dont have to play that card though.
Excellent deck and a lot of fun!
Thanks for this deck. I have been having a lot of fun with it tonight. There are several really neat win conditions that can appear out of nowhere courtesy of faceless manipulator.
