I think this deck is pretty hard to play. You really need to calculate your chances of getting the minions you want and the draw %. It takes practice. There are many plays to make all the time, but often you need to wait a turn or two before throwing things out. You need to think 2-3 turns ahead and know your opponent deck so you can figure out what they'll play on the following turn. Lethal can be done in one turn Lesser Diamond Spellstone into Mind Blast Holy Smite = 34 dmg. Sometimes you need to do it over two turns. You can also Eternal Servitude and ress Malygos -> Vivid Nightmare -> Mind Blast -> 2x Holy Smite = 39 dmg.
The reason for not running Radiant Elemental is simply because of the inability to clear board VS aggro and Wild Pyromancer does a better job. Yes the combo will be harder to pull of, but I haven't had any problems with not getting the dmg done. I've won many games just with one maly or velen, so don't concede if you overdraw or they hex/sheep one of them. You really need early game clear VS aggro and card draw to cycle fast.
Mulligan:
Always keep: Wild Pyromancer Acolyte of Pain Power Word: Shield Shadow Essence
VS aggro: Spirit Lash
VS aggro: In some cases keep Psychic Scream
Odd Paladin: (Favoured) 80/20
Save Coin for Wild Pyromancer combo into Power Word: Shield
Keep in mind you can Mass Dispel -> Spirit Lash after he plays Level Up!
Even Warlock: (Favoured) 70/30
Keep Shadow Word: Death.
Cube Warlock: (Favoured) 70/30
Keep Shadow Word: Death.
Spell Hunter: (Favoured) 70/30
Keep Shadow Word: Pain. Try to find Psychic Scream so he gets minions into his deck = no Rhok'delar To My Side!
Clear his 4 wolves turn 5 with Pyro/spirit lash/holy nova combo.
Recruit Hunter: (Favoured) 70/30
Try to find Psychic Scream with or without Shadow Visions
Taunt Druid (Favoured) 70/30
Keep Psychic Scream Shadow Word: Death. They often ramp fast to turn 8 into Lich king.
Token Druid: (Favoured) 70/30
Psychic Scream his 1/1 minions into deck. If he Wispering Woods into Soul of the Forest turn 8 you have the other option with pyro clear.
Even Shaman: (Even) 50/50
Hope for board clear cards and he doesn't have hex on Velen/maly
Shudderwock Shaman: (Favoured) 60/40
You often loose if he has Hemet turn 6 otherwise good win conditions. Save Shadow Word: Death on your Prophet Velen turn 10 to avoid Hex. They tend to hex the 5/5 copies from Shadow Essence.
Rogue's are Unfavoured. (40/60)
If you survive to turn 8 you have good chances of winning. I won a lot of matches VS miracle by Eternal Servitude Prophet Velen -> Holy Nova = 4 dmg to all spiders.
Eternal Servitude malygos into spirit lash = 6 dmg to all and full heal.
They sap maly or velen, hope they kill them instead.
Big mage: Unfavoured. (35/65)
Hope they doesn't sheep maly/velen. They play Skulking Geist so you might need a copy of Mind Blast
Another one of the cancers that we don't want to see in this meta. Only way to win is to play a super aggressive deck and overwhelm it before it can make use of its mechanics, and playing like that isn't satisfying even if you win.
this whole deck is based on rng, there is no thinking in it. If you don't mulligan lucky and you don't get the cards, you're done, regardless of Radiant/Acolyte or other cards. It works spectacularly once in a while, but in today's meta (rank 10-5, where you go into aggro pally and aggro mage and odd rogue and so on), you really need to get lucky.
RNG indeed, but first time I played against it he got a second Malygos when I was about to win the game. Of course he also had just enough spells to do 14 damage and finish me in that turn. I thought he was out of juice so I saved one charge of my lifestealing weapon. :(
I always get shit on by mage, with polymorph.
The trick is getting them to use that on cards you summon from Shadow Essence!!! Then you keep yours to play straight up :)
well my problem is always when im up against a mage or shaman with hex/poly I get from shadow essence anything except malygos or velen… I even took shadow essence from shadow vision and still a fail.. this happens or I have my shadow essence both at the bottom of my deck .. or get malygos or velen in my hands first … im realy unlucky with this deck against mage or shaman...
This is what always happens to me too... love the deck but its consistently bad luck for me in the same way as you
My version using Shadowreaper Anduin - just adds another win condition. It's a variant off of this build!
I'm actually debating removing Lyra the Sunshard as well because that's just 1 more card that you don't want to draw when using Shadow Essence and Lesser Diamond Spellstone.
Shadowreaper Anduin doubles from Prophet Velen and if you're able to get multiple on the board, his Hero power itself is a win condition.
Lyra is for different archetype (OTK). Also i thinking about removing PW:Shield coz we have no minions on the board 70% match time.
For my deck above, I made a slight change to make better use of PW: Shield; removed Lyra and Radiant Elemental and added two Pyromancers and......i will look. Lol.
How come no Thalnos or Lyra?
I hope there will be an edit contaning gameplay video. And by the way, do you always try to save holy smite as a finisher too? Or is it fine to use holy smite on early small minions on board
please post the guide soon :)
can I replace Vivid Nightmare ?with what card ?
Any replacements for psychic scream, shadow visions, Malygos, and Velen?

Replacement hero

Looked up what hearthstone recommends, try Green Jelly, Circle of Healing, Shadow Word Death and Giant Mastodon. Should work just as well.

This was a joke comment, i guess hearthstone fags are srs about this xd
Yes Velen and Malygos are super common in a lot of the aggro decks I play all the time. Fucking idiot.
This deck is LAUGHABLY BAD in the current meta. It loses to EVERYTHING. Yeah, it might be ok in dumpster legend, but it SUCKS against pretty much ALL of the meta decks. Fun to play....if you don't mind losing 75% of your games. Awful.
