i. About Me
Heyo! So you may have seen my name out and about for the past couple years. I took a major break from Hearthstone since the Yogg Nerf, RIP Yogg. If you are a veteran player, you more than likely have seen my deck Sylvanas's Dirty Little Secretes.
Anywho, my name is Kenneth Slavik, I am the founder & owner of the amateur esport organization Running With Turtles. Everyone just calls me Slavik. Anyways, I know you guys are not here to read an autobiography... So let's begin....
p.s. follow me on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/rwtslavik
ii. Scope of work (end goal)
The goal is to win of course. Be the very best that no one ever was. This deck is about controlling the board and either defeating your opponent by pure damage or force them to realize that you provide an impenetrable defense (curse you Brawl) and they will concede by turn 5/6.
iii. Mulligans
So the cards I recommend keeping: Redemption, Mysterious Blade, Duel!, Call to Adventure (ONLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ARCHMAGE), Archmage Vargoth, Desperate Measures.
iv. Suggested Play Style
So hopefully you start off with the correct Mulligans... Let's begin.
Turn (1): Redemption
Turn (2): Mysterious Blade (Don't attack unless to clean up minions)
Turn (3): *SITUATIONAL* So here it depends on whats going on with the board. Does the enemy have a weapon or minions? Can you clean up the board with Blade? So much to think about right. So If they have no weapons and you have coin, Coin + Archmage. If you don't have Archmage, Call to Adventure.
Turn (4) *SITUATIONAL* So, you now have Archmage, you are excited to play him right? I know you are cuz our initial response it to play our minions. This is very wrong lol. Sorry.
We look at the board and see if they have anything that can possibly eliminate our Archmage... If so then we don't want him to die right away. Yes we have Redemption still in place but that What if factor... What if enemy kills him and then he is resummoned and killed again? Well then you are Shit out of luck. GG. Now you are like Anakin Skywalker in the duel against Obi Wan... but there is always a chance.
Anyways, by turn (4) you might have another weapon to play. Equip it maybe?
Or if you have coin, Archmage, & Desperate Measures.... you might to be able to survive the next turn. But you need to think before you play. Hell, Consecration can be played to help board clear.
** So now we will go on 2 different paths.**
Turn (5) ARCHMAGE:
So you have archmage on the board. Time to whip out you Big THICC D!!!! Duel! you perverts, god I swear... you all seeking at lewd content... well at this point we are about to see some serious poundage ;) You know that meme where Piper Perri is surrounded.... Well yeah, your opponent is Piper Perri and your minions are about to go to pound town. At this point, your opponent will more than likely have conceded by now.
Turn (5) NO ARCHMAGE:
Well this is going to be a tough one. At this point I would either play Duel!, Prismatic Lens, or Zilliax. But whatever you do, do not freak out. Stay positive.
Turn (6) : It's game time. Hopefully you have a good understand how to play this deck. Never underestimate your opponents and constantly keep that board clear.
**MORE GUIDE TO COME. JUST GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK**
v. Combos
Tunnel Blaster + Lightforged Blessing 3 x [INSERT # OF MINIONS]= HP!!!!
So this is like Frost Lich Jaina + Baron Geddon but more cost effective and has taunt!
v. Replacements
So... now we have come to this section. The "Oh fuck, I don't own this card, what should I do."
Well you give up and quit. JK don't. We are here for you. We ant you to succeed. I want to face my deck more and more since this morning was not enough already -_-
(Yes I am being toxic about my own deck, damn copy cats. LOL)
Anyways, let's begin.
Shirvallah, the Tiger
Oondasta
So many people do not have these cards. I understand... I had to create them myself when i wanted to run this deck. Being a F2P, some of us can not spare 3200 dust. So what can we replace with them?
+1 Bull Dozer (nasty man... Like, this is a great replacement for Tiger. Get yourself a Divine shield 9/7. Next turn, magnetize with Zilliax a now you got yourself a 12/9, divine shield, taunt, life steal minion. If I see this, I am quitting. Cya.
For Oondasta... I really don't know what to tell you. This card is great but again I understand. So we want something to survive and have rush.... Burly Shovelfist is our boy. Yes, its an expensive card. I get it. But we are here to clean the board. 9/9 minion with rush hurts man. AND its a common.
Not liking the +2 Tunnel Blaster? Replace them with +2 Bull Dozer
vi. Videos
Huge shout out to user kiwiinbacon. He created a great video of what this deck is like post Rank 5. 90% WR is not a joke.
shout out to another streamer, Jeleniowatyy. This man proves that this deck is usable in Legend!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!
vii. Updates
So, have you ever been so successful at something that when you try it again... it just does not go to plan anymore? LOL well that is where I am at. RNG is bending me over and giving me my high cards at the start after swapping them. Thankfully this is on my alt account and not my main. Anyways, I made some changes. I would like to thank everyone here who provided some insightful feedback.
So I broke down and added +2 Batterhead.
Stop asking for Grizzly. See Spoiler.
I advise against Grizzly. I am typing up my report now on why Grizzly is a big no.
long story short, duel is wasted on the 3/12. Prismatic lens fucks you when you grab Grizzly for a Consecration.
All in all.... Grizzly sucks in this deck.
A combo that has saved my ass countless times is Tunnel + Lightforged Blessing. So much HP comes back. This also helps with the board clear.
But a big no on Grizzly. Please don't do it. I want to throw my self out my office window because how much of a fail I have received. Oh, yeah, play Call to Adventure hope to get Zilliax then YOINK!!! you get a fucking Grizzly.... UGH please don't get me started lol.
Um I have tried Bull Dozer... Cool card. Great replacement for Lion, if you don't have... but it is extremely slow.
4.25.19 UPDATE
So long story short, we need more hp and control
+ 2 Humanity
+ 2 Deranged Doctor
-2 Tunnel Blaster
Prisim + Humanity is god like. lots of WTF as well when you play humanity.
this is by far, one of the best decks i've played recently.
fun + very good WR.
KUDOS my friends!!!
thanks man. I haven't tried playing with this deck in sometime, been preparing for my wedding lol.
Enjoy trying to read this since you didnt post anything. #Troll4lfye
If you want to play a Big deck in this meta, Big Shaman is the way to go. This deck is a good idea and well executed but it lacks the removalHagatha's Scheme, rush healingWalking Fountain and sticky minionsBig Bad Voodoo/Ancestral Spirit of the shaman variant.
Your deck is a bit too slow and Rogues are a bit too fast.
*Spends 10,000 dust on this deck.. loses horribly first match.. laughs nervously*
No you must be mistaken it has 90% winrate.
:^)
The BEST decks, and I mean the very best, have a win rate in the high 50s. This is a game of margins and what separates a good deck from a mediocre on is about 5 percentage points.
Okay so after 3 days of playing: I am actually having a lot of fun with this deck. Two things I notice though, Mulligan is such a toss up. Very good chance I am getting hurt bad before turn 5, and that's even if I pull a Duel by then. The other thing I notice is I run out of cards/minions and then I end up losing cause all i have is some healing spells left. Otherwise... I am liking this deck! Even though it's unpredictable I have some lel moments. Very good for shutting down those annoying Aggro decks while climbing the ladder.
Exactly why this deck was created my friend. Its a great deck for the start of the season to shut down all aggro decks. I am trying a different style this season. If I knew how to attach photos I can show you my current progress.
Swapped the Deranged Doctors for a Bull Dozer and a Burly Shovelfist. imo theres plenty of healing in the deck as it is and bulldozer and shovelfist proved much more value. I put one of each to see which one i like best.
Im also thinking that mountain giant may not be the best thing to have in this deck as if you pull it with Prismatic Lens, it makes a spell completely useless
Edits: to fix card linking
I agree. I am thinking more mechs and revive them but haven’t had the time to try it out much. I was theory crafting with people on stream yesterday.
Great guide, but your clickbaity winrate is hard to respect. Not saying it's a bad deck, but that's obviously bs.
https://hsreplay.net/decks/#playerClasses=PALADIN&archetypes=288&sortBy=winrate
The highest consistent winrate is 52% right now for any big variant. Don't post something with a tiny sample size just to get clicks or you're part of the problem.
Sound like you are miss reading. No click bait when I say it’s from 20-5 and that I only matched up against aggro decks when climbing. Best of luck to ya.
It's click bait. What is the sample size? Where are the screenshots? The whole point is people click thinking they're going to get anywhere near that (because you put the ridiculous number in the title) and obviously based on the stats I provided that's unlikely.
Realize that not everyone has these cards already and posting misinformation like this is how people waste tons of dust.
Good morning/afternoon everyone! So this weekend we are going to make alterations. Maybe add more mechs? Revive 3 late game? Just theory crafting so we get from 5 to legend.
Currently at 3 stars in Rank 7...Can't beat these Summon Mages at all, any suggestions or just fight through them?
The list I've been running for a few weeks now uses Kangor's Endless Army, 2 Bull Dozer, and 1 Damaged Stegotron (I might swap the numbers on the last two there). I also use Exotic Mountseller (which I first saw J4ckiechan use) over the Mountain Giants. The Exotic Mountseller lets you use the Desperate Measures and secrets to generate another threatening board (against warrior's multiple, multiple board clears).
I originally had a Oondasta package as well, but I think it's much worse against control matchups. It's a really fun deck though! Good luck on the ladder.
I did something similar. Swapped Oondasta, one Mountain Giant and both Amani War Bear for Kangor's Endless Army, 1 Bull Dozer and two Damaged Stegotron so that I would get slightly better reload and Duels against slow decks.
Thus far I am at 61%, albeit in a small sample of 18 games and at low ranks.
Mountseller might be worth trying, thanks for the idea!
expensive deck, great guide though
