Hey what's up guys, it's Ligmadude420 back at it again with another Hearthstone video. This time we're looking at a deck that tries to abuse the deathrattles of two cards with strong deathrattles, Devilsaur Egg and Mechanical Whelp. The core support cards are Reckless Experimenter and Carnivorous Cube, but the deck also features multiple other options.

Card explanations:

Northshire Cleric: Early game draw and a staple in most Priest decks.

Dead Ringer: Allows us to tutor our eggs, whelps and cubes if we don't draw them.

Shadow Visions: Can help find removal spells or even a Twilight's Call or Extra Arms if needed.

Extra Arms: Used to buff eggs gotten from Cubes that we otherwise can't interact with.

Mirage Caller: Extra copies of eggs and whelps are always needed.

Twilight's Call: Can be used to get more eggs and whelps. Keep in mind that this can also resurrect Dead Ringer, Voodoo Doll and Carnivorous Cube.

Reckless Experimenter: One of the main combo pieces.

Pain, death, lash, madness, nova: Removal

Doomsayer: Great tool against aggro, especially since Priest doesn't really have board clears in Standard anymore apart from Psychic Scream, which fits poorly in this deck.

Devilsaur Egg: THE most important card in the deck.

Voodoo Doll: Nice free removal with Reckless Experimenter.

Defender of Argus: Can buff eggs after a Cube dies or give taunt to some big minions.

Gnomish Inventor: The deck was lacking card draw and T4 was looking quite blank, so I thought this card would be a great fit.

Carnivorous Cube: Can give us more eggs, whelps and even experimenters I guess.

Corpse Raiser: Pretty good if used on Mechanical Dragon or Devilsaur, but can also be used on silenced whelps and eggs to basically counter the silence.

Mechanical Whelp: Insane card if you manage to land a cube on it, works well with Reckless Experimenter too.

Comboes:

Reckless Experimenter + Devilsaur Egg: The basic combo, which gives you 9/11 stats for 5 mana.

Reckless Experimenter + Voodoo Doll: Assassinate with a 4/6 body, can't be counterspelled. Can be combined with the previous combo.

Reckless Experimenter + Mechanical Whelp: Comes pretty late at 8 mana but gives you some nice stats, 11/13 in total.

Devilsaur Egg + Carnivorous Cube: The old classic, only really weak to silence and even then you get 9/11 stats. Also works as T3 egg, T4 coin + cube.

T6 Mechanical Whelp -> T7 Carnivorous Cube: If the opponent doesn't kill your whelp, they're in for a tough time.

Reckless Experimenter + Devilsaur Egg/Mechanical Whelp + Carnivorous Cube: The ultimate combo. Nets you 19/21 stats on T7 or 25/27 stats on T10. Watch out for screams and nethers, though. And Equality.

Mulligan:

Try to mulligan for Devilsaur Egg.

Northshire Cleric is almost always a keep as well.

Dead Ringer is a keep in slower matchups.

Doomsayer, Spirit Lash, Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Madness can be kept against aggro, Shadow Madness is also good against Cubelock.

Reckless Experimenter, Carnivorous Cube and Mechanical Whelp should be kept against Control.

 That's it! I hope you try this deck at launch and/or get inspired to make your own deck with Reckless Experimenter. If you think I should change any cards, post a comment and I'll try to answer it as swiftly as possible.
