Welcome again! This time i was trying out this budget deck, with a new account, to see how far can you get, so let's go!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Frost Lich Jaina It's the only legendary on the deck, and the value is insane, considering all your elementals go Lifesteal after playing, also the hero power let's you stay on board. You can get lucky and get this one out of the Lich King prologue, if not, the samsung galaxy promotion is still live, it gives you 3x classic packs, and 1 card back, 3 more classic packs if you play from a samsung s6,7 or 8 etc. and 1 more for playing on a tablet (You can use Nox or other android emulator for this) Also when creating a new account, you will get 1 legendary from the witchwood and 3 packs, until the new expansion comes out i guess, so don't waste your time and go do it. If you don't have it, or can't craft it save some dust, it's really worth it, if not just replace with another value card, or maybe some AOE spell. Also you have the witchwood singleplayer monster hunts or dungeon runs to get more packs, and the midsummer fire festival grants you double gold until july 30th!
So, the idea is really simple: Generate value from your elementals and try to keep the chain going turn after turn. Always mulligan for Fire Fly , Stonehill Defender , Tar Creeper . These are the cards for the early game, as you move on try to always keep the board clear, as you don't run any AoE hit face when you think it's right, don't go full SMOrc because you will lose against every deck on the meta.
The Lesser Ruby Spellstone is a great source for spells, if you can upgrade it fully, combined with Leyline Manipulator the value is insane, also synergises with Servant of Kalimos , Shimmering Tempest , Steam Surger and so on, you cannot be outvalued in most games, so your focus should be midgame-lategame value.
As you progress trough the game, and earn gold, packs and dust you should lean towards better replacements, such as: Mountain Giant , Blazecaller , Baron Geddon , Book of Specters , etc.
So if you would like a full guide, gameplay video and more stats, please upvote and comment, thanks in advance!
Whats going on guys i did a couple games as a showcase of the deck at rank 3, it seems okay! with some adjustments i could easily make legend with this deck
Thanks a lot for the video ! I didn't expect so many views on the deck, glad you like it, and yes it needs some adjustments but as I said it could be upgraded later on as you make more gold and dust
not true. maybe you haven't been there in a while. Like OP said go start a f2p account and try to get to rank 20. Good luck.
Would Sindragosa be good for this deck?
What about Pyros, Archmage Arugal and Primordial Glyph?
Don't know about archmage arugal, but pyros and sindragosa would be very nice for late game value
Well Met! I created a video showcasing this deck. I hope that you will enjoy it and learn something new. Thanks and cheers! (1:45 Gameplay)
Thanks a lot man! nice video and yes, the changes are welcome, it's the base of the deck, as you progress you can also upgrade to other epics and maybe legendaries along the way
For Mountain Giant, Blazecaller, and Baron Geddon: Remove Tol'vir Stoneshaper, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Fire Plume Phoenix, and/or Ironbeak Owl. Tol'vir looks good on paper, but often is unplayable on turn 4 because it kills your chain of Elementals.
If you have Book of Specters, you can ditch Arcane Intellect. If you have Book of Specters x2, you could also replace Frostbolt with Voodoo Doll to lower the chance of a wasted draw. You shouldn't have any problem keeping your hand full without Arcane Intellect. Fire Fly, Stonehill Defender, Servant of Kalimos, Steam Surger, Bonfire Elemental, and Lesser Ruby Spellstone all add cards to your hand.
If you like the idea but are not f2p and have a bigger collection try this:
Kibler played it a lot on stream .So you can watch his youtube highlights if you need advice ;) I've had a lot of fun with the deck myself. You need a lot more epic cards though...
What do I replace the Blazecaller, Mountain Giant, and Book of specters in the deck for

this are very good replacements as quoted by Mojay
Really glad you are enjoying! The value is insane, the Lesser ruby spellstone + Leyline manipulator is bonkers! Later you can upgrade the deck by putting a Blazecaller, Mountain Giant, and Book of specters they work really well together, thanks for passing by!
Congrats man. but at rank 22 nearly everything has a 80+% WR =)
