Climbed to the legend for the first time with this deck, with approximately a 75% winrate.
Azalina Soulthief is extremely useful if you lack the fuel to burst a control deck entirely, and often gives you the tools to finish an opponent if they are at the point of stabilisation.
Captain Greenskin I think would likely be superior to the second Cobalt Scalebane, however the difference is quite marginal. I do not have Captain Greenskin, and the deck works fine without it.
Brief Mulligan Guide
Always keep Hench-Clan Thug, Dire Mole, Argent Squire, FIre Fly. Sometimes you may wish to keep cold blood against control warlock if you have strong one-drops also. If going second against even paladin it is also sometimes worth keeping SI:7 to counter their turn 2 play.
If there is sufficient interest I will update this with a full match-up guide. Post any questions you have and I will try to answer them in the comments.
Edit: Due to the unexpected interest, I am currently working on a match-up guide, thanks and stay tuned!
worked great for me, climbed from rank 18 to 14. now i‘m stuck at these ranks... seems like the fast wins aren‘t possible any more... i don‘t know :D
i just replaced the Vilespine Slayer for the 5-spell-removal called Assassinate.
best moment at the time: stole a Sulfuras from a warrior who just ended his quest. he direktly conceded :D
Edwin VanCleef and/or Questing Adventurer, maybe?
I don't have Vilespine Slayer, could I substitute Assassinate or Ironbeak Owl for it?
Sure, an owl would work, but the complete removal of Vilespine Slayer is very valuable
Replacement for leeroy? please
Only it couldn't work because this is odd rogue and RR costs 6
WE WANNA SEE THE FULL-GUIDE OF THIS AWESOME DECK!
yep, working on it
Seriously, if you have Captain greenskin: totally worth it! If you can combine it with deadly poison on turn 6: wow
Yep, on it
Hey bro I like your deck. Can you please make a guide for matchups? I'm at rank 5 atm. I could kill cube as long as I get a good start and he doesn't have hellfire to screw me haha. I think this has a hard time with taunt matchups tho, as any aggro deck. But maybe you could teach me how to play around/with it. Cheers.
If you are consistently struggling against Cube/Control/Taunt decks then you may wish to swap one or both blink foxes for ironbeak owls.
Your best bet is probably to go for as maximum aggression/burst that you can as quickly as possible against such decks. Owls will help negate stabilisation even further.
But the Blink fox could give you the swing card too. Hard to not include it.
Acherus Veteran are little use IMO
Testing it now @ rank 5, sounds like a cool deck.
Yeah! I tried this too and finally ended up with two Owl.
Creeper in this deck is too slow IMO. Of course, you may top deck it perfectly timed and he might protect your Thug or Vicious but not nedded at all.
Yeah, creeper is a waste of a 3-drop imo. Pushing face damage with minions is a high priority, and a 3 mana 1/5 is often decidedly too slow. The 2/2 weapon should almost always be sufficient to establish and sustain board control.
Plus, with board based decks against whom Tar Creeper would be effective have little to no healing/stamina against consistent aggression, and are fairly easy to burst down. Generally, I feel like if you are so far on the defensive to warrant Tar Creeper, you're either doing it wrong, or have already lost.
Ironbeak owl, however, is a great and valuable addition to this deck and often can completely reverse swing turns. Debatably it should be in the standard list rather than as a purely tech addition.
Not sure I agree on Tar Creeper. Protecting minions (particularly those that can snowball like Hench-Clan Thug [/card]and [card]Vicious Fledgling) can be game-winning. It's also a really nice Cold Blood target.
