Hey there guys :)
This is my first created deck here on hearthpwn, hope you enjoy playing with it as much as i did.
Mulligan:
1) Vs control decks - Flame Imp, Dire Wolf Alpha, Rafaam´s scheme, EVIL Cable Rat
2) vs aggro decks - Voidwalker, Knife Juggler, Rafaam´s scheme, Flame Imp
Guide:
So basically the main strategy of this deck is pretty simple: Swarm the field with minions, buff them and go super aggro on your opponent.
Till the third turn, maybe you´ll need to build some board, do some important trades to carry your strategy efficiently, and then... Face Face Face ( sometimes it´s inevitable that you need to do some trades but focus your mind on getting aggro). To do these on the early game, you have some powerfull minions like Flame Imp, that can in most of the times snowball the board along side Dire Wolf Alpha to do the damage you need, or even get a protection package against wicked aggro decks with Voidwalker and Knife Juggler.
After this, it´s time to call the legions! Rafaam´s Scheme and Fiendish Circle are the core cards to build the strategy of this deck. Try to allways mulligan Rafaam´s Scheme for the upgrading mechanic and to play it on turn 3 or 4, and then buff the imp´s with Impferno or Grim Rally. Fiendish Circle is doable on the same way, but you don´t need to mulligan it. These cards will also be the perfect bridge for you to summon the Sea Giant, in fact sometimes in my games i had a hard time putting so much minions on board and get a free space for the giant :p
Soulfire works on this deck like kill command on mid hunter, it´s a good removal but i prefer hitting my opponent in the face with it on the late game.
Finally, the very soul of this deck is Illidan Stormrage. Illidan has granted me many wins against aggro decks, cause they start to lack at resources to deal with him and that makes him great as a finisher card. Plus, he has sinergy with every card of this deck, and if you try to combine illidan with the 1 mana cards and Impferno, you´ll realize that it works a bit just like Rafaam´s Scheme [/card] or [card]Fiendish Circle, filling the board once again on the late game. Yeah it´s kinda slow and you won´t be able to play it most of the times, but i put it on this deck to work as a Zul´jin and, if you think of him as a last resource on a very long game, it´ll give you some extra wins.
Possible Replacements:
- 2x sea giants for + 2x Jumbo Imp
- Illidan Stormrage for + Zilliax
- 2x Witchwood Imp for + 2x Magic Carpet
Here´s a showcase of Kiwiinbacon playing with this deck, thanks again for all the work that you put on this video man :)
Deck is not working,aggro hunters and secret palladins owns me
Opened a Golden Illidan today, this was the only deck that came up when I searched by card on HS Replay (It actually tries to hide Illidan due to low usage if you search by card)
Anyway, I copied it, took out the two Blood Imps for 1 ea. Witches Cauldron and and Jumbo Imp. Went 5-0 vs 2 token Druids, a Cyclone mage, an Overload/Aggro Shaman and Secret Hunter.
Illidan never got to put to use, but was played as a victory cigar right before I got the concede once.
Would you mind posting some of your games?
The shits and giggles earned from flattening a token druid with this. priceless
As an update, would you mind posting some of your games?
.... I REGRET DUSTING MY GOLDEN ILLIDAN NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
what a fun deck to play with! I always loved thematic decks and this hits home :D
I had a blast playing with the deck so I made a video showcasing the deck in action, I really hope you all enjoy!
It’s a fun idea and can snowball if you get illidan to stick, but I feel like he’s too slow to justify dropping Magic Carpet.
Definitely a good tip, and surely could work well. however taking out Illidan Stormrage of this deck meens that you would lose a valuable resource for late game, cause Magic Carpet is really eficient on the middle game, but if you don´t have ways to put minions on the board (This is important cause i haven´t put any draw card on this deck), you´ll lose steam power. Nonetheless, it´s an excelent addon for this deck. Thanks for the tip :)
How about use Jumbo Imp?
I did put jumbo imp on this deck first but when playing with it i realized that sea giant is more consistent and easy to play. However, with the right cards, jumbo imp can easily be on this deck too ;)
I'm a simple man
I see Illidan, i press like
I love to use him for the memes but quite often he is just a bit too slow
I have the feeling that Illidan Stormrage is not necessary in this deck :)
Yeah that´s a valid point, however the idea of this deck is to constantly spam the field with minions, turn after turn. And illidan has granted me many wins against aggro decks, cause they start to lack at resources to deal with him and that makes him great as a finisher card. Plus, he has sinergy with every card of this deck, and if you try to combine illidan with the 1 mana cards, you´ll see it´s great though.
