This is a slightly slower list focussed on winning more of the ever prevalent aggro and zoo matchups. The main difference to usual Pogo lists are the inclusions of Necrium Blade and Blightnozzle Crawler, which can make for some very favourably one-sided matches against decks like Odd Rogue and Zoolock with the right hand.
The most important thing to know about this deck is that using the Shadowsteps to grow the Pogo-Hoppers is basically wasting them. Normally the best targets are Giggling Inventor and Sonya Shadowdancer. And don't underestimate the synergy between Sonya and Blightnozzle Crawler, it has won me many games!
If requested I can make a full writeup for this deck, but note that my Mecha'thun Rogue has a very similair list, and I already made a full writeup for that one: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1182524-mechathun-rogue-new-anti-aggro-approach
Hmm, using 11 cards from The Boomsday expansion, might that be some kind of a record?
Edit: Cut (2x) Preparation for (2x) Shiv, because I sometimes ran out of value in the midgame, and there's really only two targets for Preparation, which are Vanish and Fan of Knives. But it doesn't really feel necessary for either. The best use for Vanish is Vanish into double Pogo-Hopper anyways, no need for a Preparation. Shiv on the other hand is just a good cycle card.
If you want to build a budget version of this deck, the priority ranking of the legendaries from most important to least important is the following:
- Sonya Shadowdancer (best card in the deck)
- Valeera the Hollow (insane value generator)
- Zilliax (early-game anti aggro or late-game heal)
- Zola the Gorgon (more value, easier Sonya combos)
- Bloodmage Thalnos (cycle, spell damage)
No it's bad bro
Why don't we just add Academic Espionage in there... Just for fun?
Deck win rate?
Can you link your list?
Quite right, Sonya is in there mainly for the Oozlings and the Giggling Inventors, not for the Bunnies. All in all my deck's gameplan is probably simply a little bit slower than yours.
interesting deck, I've swap out 2 Witchwood Piper and 2 Necrium Blade for 2 Crystallizer and 2 Shadowblade for the heals if played together.
Necrium Blade is a nice card but running it just for Blightnozzle Crawler seems a wasted at least Shadowblade blocks some damage.
Incredibly fun deck. I've been playing pogo in wild for a while and after facing this a couple times against my Odd warrior in standard, I thought it would be fun to play... did not disappoint.
Put your spoiler here.
