Hold fast men! Armour up! clear the gates and bring in the BIG GUNS!!
The sole purpose of this deck is patiently wait and hide behind taunt, Baku the Mooneater 's mega armour and board clears until you're ready (10 mana) to roll out the big guns!
In an ideal world turn 9 you could throw down 3 Phantom Militia for a bit of protection (and quest trigger - but don't be too eager to wield that bad boy just yet).
Drop Animated Berserker followed by Blackhowl Gunspire , then hit it with 2x Whirlwind to hit a total of 11 Board DMG. Then if the Tower still stands hit Sudden Genesis follow by Abomination to keep 'em guessing (and hopefully, firing).
Next trigger the the quest, drop a Clockwork Automaton and hurl that 16DMG fireball + 4DMG Weapon (hopefully) right to face, if they're still kickin' drop a Blackwald Pixie next turn and give them the old one two. The castle is saved, the people rejoice, long live the king!
I realise how perfect things would need to go, but man it would look cool!
EDIT: Doctors Orders - Dropped Clockwork Automaton in favour of a second Blackwald Pixie. Essentially the same jam as the above but it could drop a foe before face or achieve same 16DMG if face is clear. Also could be used earlier to double up on Baku the Mooneater 's mega armour.
I hope this deck holds it's roots in the fun side of the game but happy to build something off of the back of it, so very much welcome any and all input.
Wow, the deck is performing well and the pay off is so satisfying! Good job
So refreshing to see creative deck building with a positive attitude and polite comments! Loving the deck so far, thanks for the fun times.
Why worgen abomination over Barron geddon
I'd say Worgen Abomination fits a bit better here to save the potential 2 damage to your own face, and the extra defence statline helps it stick around on board a little better for triggering the Blackhowl Gunspire
Yup that’s pretty much it. It’s certainly a close run between the two but it’s the face damage I was trying to avoid - the more armour the better when you’re trying to defend a castle! But I’ll definitely run a couple of variants and one will most definitely have the Baron in, he’s a badass!
I feel like Corpse Raiserwould MAKE this deck lol
2 Things:
1. We have 0 draw in the entire list, you are running so many combo's you want to pull off. How will you do that drawing 1 card/turn? If I don't remember incorrectly. As the quest warrior became more refined last time around, it ran more and more draw. I don't see a single reason we aren't at least running 2x Shield Block!
2. The Clockwork Automaton + Blackwald Pixie dream is never happening! Out of the 2 cards Blackwald Pixie is the clearly superior one as it works with both hero powers and is superior with both. ( You would rather clear 2 minions rather than 1,) and going face it's the same damage. + the Blackwald Pixie is a way better play on curve.
Conclusion +2Shield Block -1Clockwork Automaton -1 Card of your choice.
Overall I like the deck though :)
Both great points. When I posted it, it was just about the perfect combo, but I always figured it wasn't likely to land - it was just a bit of fun. However the more I've looked at it the more I think there's something worth building on so very grateful of the input.
I had planned to run Shield Block but opted for Iron Hide for the cheaper Shield Slam or Reckless Flurry clear, opening up another chance to hero power. It's close to a fatigue deck, just waiting until you hit the cards you need but I've never been shy to admit that it's unlikely to happen!
With a bit of play, a bit of tweaking and input like your own I think it could actually be a pretty cool deck to play! Thanks my man.
That's great. And I'm never above meme decks, but I do like being able to play the memes in actual decks even more! :)
Clockwork Automaton has graciously stepped down!
I made the same mistake when I first published the deck! Definitely think that turn 10 combo with Battle Rage would be cool to see in a non Baku deck though.
This along side quest hunter i will try day one, always loved playing taunt warrior think its fun to read all the hate messages after game XD
I can see this deck be tier 2 atleast :), but no one knows what the meta will be yet :)
Thanks man, I'd be made up if it got to Tier 2! I just hope it's as fun to play as I think it will be. That quest hunter deck caught my eye too so I'll be right alongside you on day one!
... mine too
It was a good idea, but I could probably do it better
I wish there were more hearthstone players like you who cared as much as about fun and flavour. I’m excited to try this out.
Thanks man, I’m getting more excited to give it a whirl now too! Roll on April 12th!

Thanks my man, couldn't agree more - variety is the spice of life after all.
