Hello there UkendtKunst and @Gnomen here.
Merry Christmas! We'll hope you all have a lovely time with the ones that you love. We have both been loving the new expansion - especially after the nerf of shaman. I've just hit legend with this new combo Galakrond Warrior and my brother, Gnomen, just hit top 100 on EU. Sadly we don´t know the creator of the deck, so if any know him - hit him up.
We think that its the best list right now. Most of your hard matchups will be vs Rouge, and you´ll need a very fast list - which this is. It consist of many separate strong finishers and a pretty clear gameplan. But we also think, that it's a bit harder than the other versions since you´ll mostly have to combo to win. Therefore you have to know your matchups and weak points.
In this guide we try to explain the decks combos and how you'll play the most common matchups and we'll provide some video footage when it's edited.
Matchups
Highlander Deathrattle Rouge 50/50
Properly one of the matchups you'll face the most in legend and 5-legend. It's a pretty hard one. But it can be won. Just pressure hard and try to invoke your Galakrond as fast as possible. Sometimes you also need to just play your Galakrond - because the win condition is usually by combo - and therefore draw is very important.
Deathrattle Rouge 45/55
Same as above. But they are more consistent - which makes this matchup harder.
Galakrond Warrior 55/45
The guy that draw best win - but since you got a lot of draw compared to other decks, you'll often cycle faster.
Pirate Warrior 50/50
The guy that draw best win. But in general try to preserve your health and therefore don't trade too much with your face. I actually have footage of a game played wrong and right.
Galakrond Shaman 60/40
The matchup is a bit tricky. But usually they play a bit slower than you and therefore you should just pressure him. And if you sense he got Galakrond be sure not to your Plague of Wrath on something stupid.
Face hunter 90/10
This is your best matchup. I've never lost it. Most actually concede when you play Armorsmith. Just hard mulligan for Armorsmith and Eternium Rover.
Highlander Hunter 60/40
Try to control their board and play around secrets. Then you should be fine.
Zoo Warlock 80/20
This is a bit like hunter. Mulligan for earlygame and hard for Awaken!.
Handlock 55/45
Race them down. Try to evaluate when to use Plague of Wrath with most value. If you take a lot of damage to your face be aware of their burst.
Quest Priest 20/80
This is a very hard matchup. Everything need to align for you to win this one.
Quest Druid 70/30
Pressure them and end with combo before they can stabilize.
Holy Wrath Paladin 60/40
Just draw your combo and burst him for 20 or 30 dmg.
Statistics 3 - Legend
Mulligan
Always keep Galakrond, the Unbreakable, Town Crier, Eternium Rover and Ritual Chopper. Don't keep two Ritual Chopper.
Against Zoo: Keep Awaken!
Against facehunter: Keep Armorsmith and don't keep Galakrond.

Very nice deck! I climbed from rank 16 to Rank 6 in 4 days. I managed to win vs priest with this strategy: I dont hit him at all, just upgrade Galakrond, draw and clear his minions untill i equip last lvl of Galakrond with 5/2 weapon then when i get the chance i burst him with combo.
i was stucked at rank 7 with my interpretation of galakrond warrior half midrange half value. Thank to this one i went directly from rank 7 2 stars to rank 5 with 1 loss.
Probably this number of games is not sufficient in order to judge the true winrate. Now i'll try to reach legend.
Thanks to you for sharing this list with us.
Is it still worth crafting after the nerf?
The nerf is not destroying the card, because 4 9/6 with rush is super strong, but with 4 mana cost some times you feel locked.
If you are on budget my advice is to wait at least a week in order understand the meta
What you think about adding mad deathwing somwhere ? Just packed a golden one ;)
You can replace Plague of Wrath I think - you can also go with a value galakrond warrior list, where you use dragon breeder as well :)
Hi!
Awesome list, enjoying it so far. You are mising a combo damage in the writing: Inner Rage + Inner Rage +Kor'kron Elite + Bloodsworn Mercenary + Bloodsworn Mercenary = 24 damage / 36 damage buffed
Thanks mate. I'll put it in :)
;)
I love this deck
Glad you love it! Thank you!
It's an awesome deck, been having a lot of fun and good results. The problem is it gets completely DESTROYED by quest priest, there is literally nothing you can do
You’re completely right. I’ve only Got one techniche agianst it that work. It’s very unreliable but it work. You’ll have to draw kro’kron elite With buff or leeroy with coin and have 2 bloodswonn mercanary and 2 inner rage. Then u Can burst + 30 dmg which Manu of Them don’t play around!
Seems really strong at 5-legend so far. Depends alot on the meta though - would change immediately if i meet to many bad matchups! :-)
If you face an abundance of quest priest I think you’re right - but in general the deck can combat most things!
But we are glad you like it!
Btw, do you play Rogue at all? If yeah, planning to make a GalaMaly deck?
My brother and I doesn't like playing rogue right now, so we are definitely not gonna make a GalaMaly. :)
Great deck and great guide! I only had one Plague of Wrath so I replaced it for a Warpath and I'm doing pretty well with it. I keep Plague of Wrath as my ultimate removal and Warpath to clean the board on early turns. The deck sucks a bit when you can't invoke well and/or Galakrond level 3 doesn't draw any of the combo cards, but that's about it. Quite the deck overall.
Nice! Thanks for the reply. Also gonna make some card substitution chioces for people not having everything!
Great guide! was using a version without plague of wrath, gonna check it out :)
