RASTAKAHAN RUMBLE UPDATE!!
Have you ever wished to climb with a fun deck? Actually I m at rank 4 and have an high winrate (I could do better but I have no time for taking seriously Hearthstone).
DO NOT REPLACE DECK OF WONDERS! NEVER!
Not because it's essential, but because Yogg itself will curse your RNG if you ll do.
CARD CHOICE EXPLANATION/ CARD REPLACEMENT
Wow, didn't expect to reach so fast 10 upvotes, thank you for the support!
Arcane Artificer: Very flexible card that can provide a lot of Armor against aggro or simply trigger Elemental Synergy when needed against other control
Fire Fly: Fantastic One Drop that help building early presence against aggro and give us token to trigger other elementals effects
Black Cat: 3 mana 3 3 draw a card js already good, than it provides also Spell Damage. It s a better Azure Drake/Thalnos
Tar Creeper: 3 mana 3 5 taunt slay every minion in an aggro deck. Your hero power will do the rest
Ironbeak Owl: Since the list can t run Polymorph, at least one silence is neede (has also synergy with jaina)
Gluttonous Ooze: Very good, if not the best, weapon removal. DON T RUN HARRISON, the deck has already a lot of card draw and you need that armor vs aggro
Voodoo Doll: our single target removal, has obvious ynergy with ping and Icy Touch as well
Zilliax: MVP of the set now, provides early game survivability
Arcane Tyrant: Good card that helps building a board after an Aoe, also Elemental Synergy
Bonfire Elemental: 5 mana 5 5 plus card draw and lifesteal in late game. Sounds good
Dragon's Fury: One of the few Aoes. You have to play them carefully otherwise you ll end them too soon. A tactic could be to stall the board with Giggling Inventor and then play this or Flamestrike the turn after
Deck of Wonders: more an ideological card than an useful one. It gives you hope when everything seems lost, or simply some goods tempo swings. Or a Cataclysm when you are winning (happens sometimes XD). Beside that, it s useful if you have no spell left in your deck but a dragon fury in hand, or if you want to play Arcane Artificer without killing him or wasting an Aoe if you really need that armor
Azalina Soulthief: Our Tech card against Combo decks (mostly druids). Or you can also use it if you have dead cards in hand like Dragon Fury or Baku to get huge value
Blazecaller: Basically a better Firelands Portal, it casts holy fire if you have already played DK, can help applying pressure against control as well as destroying treats of aggro decks
Baron Geddon: MVP against Odd Paladin, it s a better Reno Jackson with Jaina
Flamestrike: Best in game AoE just after Psychic Scream and Twisting Nether. Synergy with artificier and Dragon Fury
Baku the Mooneater and Frost Lich Jaina are pretty self explanatory
Alexstrasza: One of the best control tools ever created, it provides both health and burn so its extremly versatile
Dragoncaller Alanna: It s our finisher against Combo andother control decks. Be sure they have already wasted all of their Aoes and you will win for sure.
REPLACEMENTS
Since the deck allows only Odd-cost cards, you have a really restricted poll of cards to choose between
Dragoncaller Alanna: Sorry, no replacements for her. You won t win any game against control and combo otherwise. If you really want to play the deck you can try with Ysera or Onyxia or another Astromancer
Baron Geddon: You can swap him with an Astromancer or with a Servant of Kalimos
Alexstrasza can be swapped for Astromancer or if you really struggle against combo and control Azalina Soulthief
Deck of Wonders can be swapped for... jk can t be replaced
Voodoo Doll can be instead swapped with Mind Control Tech, Coldwraith (i ve tried it, that s not too bad) or another Silence
DECK SHOWCASE VIDEO ( thanks Khristophesaurus an kiwi ^_^)
FULL GUIDE
MULLIGAN GUIDE
Against Aggro and Midrange: Keep Fire Fly, Arcane Artificer, Tar Creeper and finally Dragon's Fury
Against Control: Keep Frost Lich Jaina, Black Cat, Bonfire Elemental but the last only if you already have drawn either Fire Fly or Tar Creeper
Against Combo: Keep Azalina Soulthief, Black Cat, Deck of Wonders (but only if you feel lucky XD).
Special Mulligan: Keep Ironbeak Owl against Hunters and Gluttonous Ooze against Paladin, Rogues, Mages and Hunters. Keep instead Azalina Spultief against Druids ( and Shamans but only if for any reason Shudderwock Shaman wil become tier 1 again)
GENERAL STRATEGY
Against Mage: Actually there are 2 types of Mages: Aggro and Control (and Exodia but I won t treat it because the stategy is the same for every combo deck and they are like the 0,001% of all Mages)
Against Secret Mage (aka Face Mage): Your plan is survive till he runs out of resources. Hard mulligan for Fire Fly on turn 1 so that he can't play his Arcanologist on turn 2 without killing her because of your upgraded Hero Power. Play around his secrets and if you manage to survive till turn 9, you play your DK and[deck]Deck ID or Code[/deck]Card Name is gg.
Against Control Big Spell Mage: This is a very geedy deck, full of removals and big treats. Try to force him playing his AoEs in a non efficient way, don t flood ever the board and try to pressure him as much as you can. Basically your Fireblast Rank 2 must turn into a Steady Shot.
Against Priest: Actually the only existing Priest Deck is Big Priest. In tge Mulligan phase, try searching for Voodoo Doll and Ironbeak Owl. They don't have lot of removals, just 2/3 Psychic Screams and DK. Build a strong board, hit them hard in the face and you should win. An MVP here, if used wisdomly, is Dragoncaller Alanna. NEVER PLAY HER IF HE HASN'T ALREADY ENDED HIS REMOVALS.
Against Rogues: There are 4 Rogues deck atm: Quest, Maly,Odd and Deathrattle
Against Quest and Maly: The plan is going face. That's all. Save your Ooze for Necrium Blade, retard his Malygos and play around Vanish
Against Deathrattle: The mu is identical to Deathrattle Hunter's one. Hard mulligan for Silence and Ooze, remove Necrium Blade when he has ni Deathrattle minions and you should be ok. A key card in this match is Dragon's Fury, he can slay every Devilsaur cheated, works better with a turn 3 Black Cat that can attack the Eggs.
Against Odd: It's a normal Control vs Aggro. Play the Ooze on turn 3, before he plays Hench so that you slow his attack, gain armor and build a board. Avoid damage as much as you can, otherwise you ll be overwhelmed
Against Warlock: There are 3 Warlocks Decks out of there: Zoo, Even and Control
Against Zoo: Ez aggro vs control, your upgraded Hero Power is the core for the win. You can also play The Coin on turn 1 to ping a Flame Imp.
Against Even: Hard Mulligan for Voodoo Doll and Giggling Inventor, they are full of big treats like turn 3 Mountain Giant or 4 mana 7/7. You have to keep the control of the board, play your silence tech against [card]Twilight Drake[/crad].
Against Control: This is another ez match up, play your elementals, play around Defile and finish them off with Alexstrasza and powerful plays likeAzalina Soulthief when you are out of steam but also [card[Dragoncaller Alanna[/card] to finish him off
NOTE: They run double Demonic Project and double Sacrificial Pact, so if you ever gets Lord Jaraxxus DO NOT PLAY HIM
Against Paladin: There are 2 types of Paladin: OTK and Odd Paladin
Against OTK: It's always the same story, apply pressure before they can play the combo. Always destroy their Horsemen and play around Equality + Consecration/ Wild Pyromancer. They don't have any single target removal, so try having on the board just 2 big minions, they will have trouble removing them
Against Odd: I think that's more a Token Deck than an aggro one. Your MVP here is Dragon's Fury, place it after cards like Corridor Creeper and Raid Leader
Against Hunter: They have two archetypes: Deathrattle and Midrange Secret
Against Deathrattle: Key cards here are Ironbeak Owl, Dragon's Fury, Black Cat and Gluttonous Ooze. If they manage to summon an Egg on turn 2/3 always respond with your Silence Tech, if you have it, or with Black Cat. Why? On turn 4 they will play Stalker and Play Dead, if you also have Dragon's Fury (chances improved by Black Cat's Battlecry), you can attack the Egg and play it.
Against Midrange Secret: Try avoid more damage you can, hard mulligan for Ooze, your Ping now allows you to solo Huffer, so hope they get it XD. Save Silence for Secretkeeper, play DK and win
Against Warrior: The only existing archetype is Odd Warrior (LMAO Fatigue and Mecha C'Thun)
Don't worry about his growing armor, it doesn't provide any value and despite they could reach 70 HP, soon or later they will play Reckless Flurry. Try to not drawing extra cards with your Bonfire Elementals, if it is not turn 5 and you have already played an elemental last turn. Most of the matches will end in fatigue in fact. For the rest is a simple Control vs Control, but you just have more value.
Against Shaman: Only existing archetypes are Shudderwock and Even
Against Shudderwock: Again, Control vs Combo, the easiest way to win is forcing him to play both his Volacanos and finish the game with a massive Dragoncaller Alanna
Against Even: Simple Control vs Aggro, you are the favourite, save your Voodoo Dolls for their Corpsetaker, play your Aoes wisdomly and you will win 90% of time.
Against Druid: Last class, 3 pseudo archetypes, they are similar for the 90% to each other
Against Maly/Togwaggle: They don't have removals beside Swipe and Naturalize, so force your opponent wasting them, don't flood the board or they will play Spreading Plague and apply pressure till they die
Against Big Taunt Druid: Play arounds his removals (see below) and when they play Master Broakheart answer with your Silence on Hadronox. Blazecallers and Voodoo Doll will help you controlling the board while pushing damage face.
Against Token: Same removals, same tactic, just save your Aoes for big boards. It's a very hard match up, since Wispering Woods[/card!] into [card]Soul of the Forest Combo is nearly uncounyerable, that s why you have to keep the control of the board till the very end
NERF UPDATE:
Removed 2× Giggling Inventors and a Chief Inspector for another Ironbeak Owl, Zilliax and Arcane Tyrant (I may consider adding a second one later). Added also Azalina Soulthief instead of Astromancer
Hi, this seems to be a good deck, I like the kinda elemental version of Odd Mage. Althought I still don't have all the cards, and I need a replacement for Dragoncaller Alanna.
How about Luna's Pocket Galaxy ? The decks runs a lot of minions, having them cost one might be good. And I was also thinking about Zola the Gorgon, which fit perfectly after Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk.
yea great update 👍
OMG this deck is getting huge support in RR!
Expect a big update ASA expansion hits. I may even consider cutting Deck of W... nah just kiddng :P
I saw a similar deck on brawl today with new cards including the dragon hawk card I was totally kicking my deck I really need a update
I want a wild version of it.
Can t wait to add the new 3 mana 3/4 to the decklist from RR. It has very good stats and a perfect effect with pur Upgraded Hero Power!
Thank you guys :)
I feel realized now
Was a pleasure to vote it up.
I also use zilliax now. It´s a good replacement for giggling. My deck is a bit diffrent but the same type. And that comment that it´s crap and only works to LvL 17 .... I decided to use it over my odd warrior to climb and had something like a 9:1 eavening yesterday now at rank 7 again.
Here my version. It´s less elemental focused. No silence or weapon destruction but i often get hex or earth shock ;-). Games showed i barely need them. Silence is only needed against cubes. (ok sometimes i want to silence that mechanic dragon ....)
Also double Astromancer is mandatory in my version and they win me a lot of games. Dragoncaller woudl definitely fit but would be another 9 mana card. Replacing antonidas and the cauldron`s with and owl, ooze and Allana would be a good version for shure but not as enjoyable for me :-)
Comment on your replacements: Can´t replace Voodo dolls. They saved/wonn so many games .....
only works b4 lvl17, crap deck, cant counter any relevant deck
lol Im level 4 and using this deck. Maybe your not smart enough or skillful? Or just an angry kid who needs to complain once your deck starts failing on you
Wow just 1 upvote and reaches 100...
I don t beg for anything usually, I m not that kind of person, but PLEASE THAT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY :D
Giggling inventor should be playable since it only cost 2 more I could wait a round or 2 to play is since of the rng could be bad..
but why zilliax? There’s not a single mech in the deck? A wasted combo I say ^^
Giggling at 7 mana is a dead card. 2 mana more is a lot.
On the other hand Zilliax is good also as a standalone card. You can compare it to a Flanking Strike with an Holy Light attached for 1 mana and 1 card less (3/3 beast is quite similar to a 3/2 Taunt Mech)
Updated list for upcoming nerfs. May Giggling Inventor rest in peace... Sorry, after that there won't be any Deck of Wonders Funny Moments Compilation, nerfing Giggling they also have taken away all of his happiness D:
Thx for suggestions btw, added Zilliax and Arcane Tyrant. I may add a second one, I have just to experiment a bit
Great deck to play come on upvote!
I play a variant and also don´t want to craft Alana. In adition i understand that Jaina is powerful but also 9 mana and again i am concerned in crafting her maybe i go for it annyway. I run it with antonidas as win condition and often fireball them to death :-). Especially if i can put down a 1 cost Antonidas from Galaxy ... I am currently tring to design a fun version with double Scroll. It´s so cool to spam random spells. The majority will benefit you. Main problem is the 2-3 (Scroll + augmented Eleek) card slots for the variant hurt. In a pressure match a scroll just sits in the hand while struggling to defend ...
How did you get the attention of that deck while i got ignored some time ago ^^. Maybe people thought no Jaina = Bad Mage deck XD ... Jaina is not the holy grail ^^.
What i am converned is the mana curve. 10 7+ and 8 5+ ... If i play such a loaded deck iit feels like I loose 50% in T5-6 from high draws ...
Note: I played against it yesterday :-). Mage duell to the end of the decks ... I looked like exactly your list while i did try the fun scroll version. He did well waiting with Alana till no dragon´s furry was playable and won it.
If you play Double Scroll and Elek, without Jaina and Alanna, it becomes a meme deck XD
Despite the tons lf high-cost cards, you can easily survive against aggro. Use Fire Fly/ Ping/ Tar Creeper to stall till turn 5. Then you play Giggling Inventor/ Dragon Fury to take control of the board. Continue stalling till they fill the board for another massive tempo play with your Spells (maybe paired with Arcane Artificer for Health). Then play Jaina or big drops and it's gg
I know how it plays. I made mine some time ago while testing with Galaxy. And yes 2x scroll and Elek goes to meme but with a lot of fun. Library empty, 2x elek and scroll in hand (one elek is discounted from galaxy) and win after the chaos storm it caused XD. I go to sepreate a fun scroll deck and a good one for ladder and i might craft Jaina. I did not main mage so i am still missing her. I will keep playing it diffrent not going heavy in elementals but the type is the same. But i lost one yesterday by starting with an all 7+ hand after mulligan...
Regarding the weapon remover and silence owl. I barely need the weapon remover in this deck. Shure its nice sometimes but i don´t see much paladins with vinecleaver, can mostly ignore alluneth and Skull is only a threat if i get some kind of cubelock. and here we come to the silence. It helps but unless i have to silence a cube i can work arond it quite well. Shure it can buy a lot of time against deathrattle hunters but most decks i meet are Zoo, Evenlock, Shudder, Spellhunter and all kinds of Rouges (and they all feel like copy/paste meta)... Lately some big mages and odd warriors splashed in.
Just made this deck and haven't lost any stars at rank 24! Insane!
