Friend @HsCxyyy used Holy Wrath Paladin to get #1 Asian.
Hey man!
I really enjoy this deck. I saw Dog played this kind of OTK and it works very well when I tried it. I just have one question: why no Elekk? I put it on the deck and it works so great because u obv get two Shivs to finish off the game. But you also run two Baleful Banker so it's kinda the same... but why do you not replace one Banker with an Elekk. I did it and it worked so well + I really see your idea with two Wraths so you're always able to kill your opponent if they have 30hp+. But I would love to hear an explanation with the Elekk thing. Have you tried it?
Double Baleful Banker and Holy Wrath enables you to kill your opponent in 2 turns.
1st turn: Shirvallah, Baleful and Holy Wrath
2nd turn: Shirvallah, Baleful and Holy Wrath
The opponent usually doesn't have the healing or shields (instead of Odd Warrior) to outheal or outshield your 2 turn kill combo.
Yeah that's impressive, but that's a total of six cards in hand to pull off (Tiger, Zola, 2x Banker, 2x HW). And that's assuming you aren't dead yet from mostly sitting back all game. I prefer Dog's hybrid version that ads more flexibility. He ran it with only 1 Banker and 1 HR, plus Uther, and 1 Youthful. Basically if you run down your opponent's HP below 25 (and you know they can't heal), you go for the single 25 dmg combo. In that scenario you can use Zola & youthful to bounce Shirvala a few times for added clear and heal. In the second case, facing a class that heals or armors up, you build your game plan around horsemen, with your banker acting as a bounce.
Overall, the added Uther weapon plus Shirvala bounce heal gives the deck more teeth on the board and fends off threats more than with just Equility, Cons and Pyros.
I'm short of 1x banker, 1x lense, and thanlnos..... What can be replaced with?
Maybe Laying off Hands instead of 1 Lense? Im missing one aswell but didnt tried the deck yet.
Acolyte of Pain probably, since you're losing 3 card draws from those cards.
To compensate the missing Baleful Banker, you could use the one you have on Shirvallah, the Tiger, then bounced it back by an added Youthful Brewmaster, to get the extra 25 dmg.
I don't understand prismatic lens either. Is it worth crafting, or can it be replaced by other card draw?
so you should play Prismatic Lens only when you have already Shirvallah, the Tiger and the 2 bankers in your hand ...
I'm familiar with Shirvallah OTK but I really struggle to understand how this deck works: why double Holy Wrath if you can use it just once? Do you use it the other one only to draw a card? In that case, why double Baleful Banker then? Scared of being milled?
It seems like Augmented Elekk should be added
Anecdote:
I just played this deck a few times and ate the pavement by burning second Baleful Banker twice, then in the next game misplaying the OTK. Whole time I'm sitting there like, yeah, wtf is the point of the duplicates?
Then in the NEXT game that I just finished, I won with just one Holy Wrath + Shirvallah, the Tiger to finish out the game.
Result:
It was at that point I figured out why there's two Baleful Bankers and two Holy Wrath:
You can do the combo two turns in a row if 25 damage isn't enough.
T1 Shirv + Baleful + Holy Wrath + Timeout (so you guaranteed don't die).
T2 (Baleful'ed)Shirv + Baleful + Holy Wrath.
I felt so dumb.
Damn I didn't think about that! Thanks for the explanation!
Tiger-banker on tiger-zola on banker-banker on tiger 2x and 50 dmg next turn
that doesn't work... you draw one of the tigers start of next turn. you have to shuffle 3 in in order to double Holy Wrath
It does. You might have read wrong:
Your deck must be in fatigue, and you need these cards in hand: Tiger, Zola, 2x Banker, 2x Holy Wrath.
It work very well, play that combo and next turn you draw one tiger and 2 will stay in deck, so you can use two wrath for 10 mana. You will play 3 bankers because of zola in one turn
