GLAKROND NERF DECK UPDATE! IT S WORKING AWSOME EXCEPT ZOO AND HYBRID ZOO-HANDLOCK
So,i had the ideea in mind that Untapped potential had much more potential to be exploited,this is how i came up with the ideea of this deck.It`s crazy fun to play it,do it and you`ll see:)
Small advice: don`t always have in your mind the ideea to complete the quest fast,sometimes it`s better not to complete it till turn 7-8.
I`ll make a full guide if this gets enough upvotes and also stream on: www.twitch.tv/shadowe12
Guide!!
1. Quest Priest
One of the most interesting matchups
Gameplay and mulligan: Usually you want to double first of all Dragonqueen alextraza,oasis surger zephyr and gloop( in this order or alextraza,zephir,oasis,gloop, both are good options) with elise,so you`ll have to mulligan for these and also for nourish which is a great way to find those cards.
2. you basically have not to play anything till turn 4-5(depending on your hand). you just easily complete the quest then profit
3. Prepare your lethal: just don t atack his face unless you have 15+ dmg on board and try to remove anything he plays
4.Keep in mind mass histerya,early game( turn 4-5-6 eventually 7 sometimes) try keeping your board strong so you can remove anything( or deal 15+ dmg) while also not leaving him the chance to fully remove it with mass histerya, just force him to use them on a board where 1 of your minions will probably survive.
5. Turn 9(or 8 with coin) Keep in mind that he has plague on 9 which can remove your whole board,also he can use zereph on 9 so it`s good to have a swipe or starfall by that time or just to keep the board pressure even if he s probably going to remove
6.If you want more board pressure don`t forget about gloop,he can be played in more ways- a. you play oasis on whichever turn,he removes it,you can play gloop to have 2 5/6 oasis(which are immune to histerya,you`ll still have 2 5-1 oasis on board) b. Dragonqueen alextraza- you just play dragonqueen and you don`t play the dragon she gives you(unless they re rly good and you can profit from the battlecry,or ofc,another alextraza) then you play gloop alextraza to get extra value,also,unless he used all removals DO NOT play all the free dragons,keep 1-2-3 in your hand,he s gonna be forced to remove the board anyway.
7. Alextraza
This card is always a nice finisher,if you have 15 dmg on board and alex in hand while having 9-10 mana you win the game,tadaam.
Highlander Rogue
We just hate this deck,we are tilted every time we see it because you don`t know if they re playing this or non highlander,you don t know which version they play.
Well, for this matchup i recomend you to mulligan for all the silences you can so you can stay safe from that turn 4 apothecary.
In case you re unlucky and you don t have them by the time they play apothecary,try to have some board presence and remove anything he plays(except apothecary) while also not giving him the chance to kill the apothecary,till you draw silence and finally end this anoying guy ( P.S, Zephir usually doesn t give you silence, 1 case where it may give is if he doesn t have anything else threatening on board and you leave apothecary with 1 hp,you`ll get earth shock)
After you dealt with the apothecary just be as aggresive as possible and FINISH HIM
3.Face hunter
Just DON`T atack him when he has secrets,you don`t want to trigger them,you just help him kill you
Mulligan: Mulligan for healing cards,ferocious howl,alextraza,zephyr and worthy expedition
How to win? easy,easy,easy,this is the easyest matchup( unless you`re living in Kafkas universe). play minions( preferably no more than 3 at a time on board,maybe 4 is ok sometimes,heal yourself and when he s out of resources and you`re prepared for it FINISH HIM
4. Galakrond warrior
This matchup kinda sucks,you want to apply early pressure but you also need the quest completed fast in order to do it so the best would be to remove whatever he plays and try to stay at over 17 hp till turn 7. Unless he plays the version with barista and has perfect luck to be able to play turn 8 scions and barista so he gets 3 more scions in his hand you kinda win after he plays galakrond(if you have over 17 hp turn 7). Also it`ll be good to have ooze when he plays galakrond and it would be good if he doesn t have perfect curve for invoking every turn till 7 then galakrond on 7,you can t do anything in this situation.
5. Galakrond Shaman
If he plays with quest and plays galakrond on 9 and you don`t have zephyr you kinda lost(unless you play mc tech and you have some board)
If he doesn`t and he just plays the usual version of shaman it`s your lucky day!
The cards you`re looking for in mulligan are: Loti,starfall,silences,albatros,mc tech,warth,zephyr,elise,swipe,all those are good.
Gameplan: 1.Zephyr is your key to victory,your key to deal with shudderwock. Keep him till then.
2.Except this situation,when can i play zephyr? Well,you can play him if you have an extra copy from elise which is ideal,also it s ideal to copy starfall/oasis surger/loti with elise in this matchup.
3.Maintain board pressure,try to have everything cleaned up on turn 5(unless he plays those wolves on 5,if he does you can usually remove 1 and deal some dmg to the other)
5. Aggro/treant or however it s called druid
Is anoying,the obvious cards are swipe,starfall and your gameplan is to keep removing whatever he plays,forget about the quest,just survive and you`ll beat him later
6.Dragon embiggen druid
Keep board pressure and you win,just complete the quest fast while maintaining board control
7.Control warrior(the one with boom)
You just FINISH HIM,it s easy,you`ll see( don t forget about positioning for collider)
8. Singleton mage
Obviously,albatros is a beast here( pun intended)
Board pressure and you win,this matchup is also pretty easy, just try playing dragonqueen before him or make sure you can remove her and whatever she gets from it on turn 9 when she plays it
9.Zoo warlock
Worst matchup( in my opinion,others told me it`s not so hard,maybe they just highrool me very time,feelsbadman)
Mulligan: Swipe,zephyr,starfall,wrath,mc tech,crystal power but you may lose even if you get all of these sometimes:)
If there`s any deck i didn t talk about notify me.
P.s. I know i didn t say anything about singleton hunter but i met only 3 of them in 200+ games so when you see hunter assume it s face because,as they say, FACE IS THE PLACE!
Cheers guys!:)
Its called highlander not singleton 🙄
It's been called both. Hush.

First stream after the nerfs,if you have any questions ask my neck hurts so i`ll only answer questions,not so much comenting otherwise,just gameplay
The deck is going perfect after the nerfs,only issue is zoo or zoo/dragonlock hybrid.
Also,made few changes in the deck,gonna upload them after i play some more games
https://www.twitch.tv/shadowe12
testing today few changes to see how it works!
My flatmate is practicing cello so we ll have music on the background:)
waiting for questions regarding playstyle and stuff on stream,see you there!
Thanks for the deck! Even if it isn't the most competitive it is formidable and a lot of fun.
I've been playing it for 5 days or so now. My changes were:
- ironbeak owl (wasnt facimg enough dr rogues)
- spellbreaker (ditto)
- keep staladris (effect usually reads add 2 bad cards to your hand. Usually i have enough to play. Dont need the 2 bad cards)
- sandbinder (meta is too fast too waste spending mana on this guy. Only 2 eles anyway so often a dead draw)
+ innervate. Deck suffers from a lot of hand inflation where you dont actually play out all your cards by games end. Innervate just makes sense. It can be very nice to have quest finished turn 5 for the rushy twins or starfall.
+ breath of dreams. Working well with just 3 dragons since so much card draw.
+ doomsayer. Very helpful in early rounds. At worst a 2 mana 7+ heal.
+ treeinforcements. Deck needs any early game it can get and can be used for aggro block later on.
You re welcome!
My initial version was with innervate and breath of dreams -2 silences but it wasn t working cause too many rogues,that s why have 3 silences in this,it s personal hate against rogues:)))
Tried this deck at rank 5, got 30% WR in about 20 games. Prior to that, I had tried different versions of Druid, Dragon variation and quest, but also no good. So not really the WR cited.... Then again, on HSReplay the best winning deck is Warrior with around 53%WR, sooooo.....
Reason is, you get recked so easy but Gala Warrior, Rogue, Face Hunter, Shaman for example. Funny thing is, these decks are the most played at the moment, so you're basically a huge underdog for the majority of the decks.
It's a fun deck to be sure, as well as my other Druid decks that I tried, just not so fun getting recked all the time :/
Yea,gala warrior is pretty tough to beat,rogues you beat them 50-50 or 60-40 for you,depends,vs face hunter read the guide,i swear i almost never lose vs them. Gala shaman beats you only if he plays turn 5-6 wolves(or one on 5 one double wolves on 8) enough invokes to galakrond on 7-8 and shudder on 9,otherwise you win if you follow the guide.
Also,galakrond decks will be nerfed soon so it ll be easyer
Update: new nerfs especially for galakrond have been announced on twitter(they didn t specify what yet) so this deck will get even stronger after
Guide is up,enjoy!

ok guys,stream on,playing the deck,answering questions about it,maybe i ll also try constructing one more on stream,i have an ideea. and also gonna write the guide here while playing
Cool deck, thanks for sharing.
yeah this deck deff doesn't have a 70%+ win rate. Embiggen Druid wins more then this.
the curent wr in about 200 games is 60-65% , the deck is rly hard to play tough,i`ll make the guide in few days to explain everything
What ranks are you playing? You always forget to mention the most important thing.
20-legend. i just started to play semi serious last month in the last 3 days,climbed from 20 to 2,it can reach legend for sure just got highrooled a lot by enemy rogues(which is 1 of the 2 worst matchups: rogue and zoo)
Guide coming in few days!
Till then i`m gonna stream with the latest version of the deck
