Hi Guys, I just climbed to EU Legend with this deck and I want to share it with you. Very cheap, easy and fun to play. I recommend players that are trying to climb Legend. If you have any questions, please comment below, I'll answer them.
Edit: Dragonmaw Poacher out, Frizz Kindleroost in. Because Frizz Kindleroost is never will be a dead draw. You can play your dragons cheaper and 4 mana 5/4 is not reduce your tempo.
General Strategy
This deck is all about mana cheating and it is fun as hell! Cards that cheats mana are the core of this deck. Embiggen. Strength in Numbers and Breath of Dreams.
With Embiggen, your minions will be much bigger, your tempo will be unstoppable. Once you play minions with big bodies and effects, opponents will not be able to out tempo you. Your minions' extra effects like taunt and untargetability, forces your opponent to trading. So a big advantage for both offense and defense.
Breath of Dreams is an excellent card with ramp and draw power. Especially very effective at early game so you can play bigger.
Strength in Numbers is the biggest trick of this deck. It grants extreme tempo advantage at whole game. No matter it is early or late. It can summon Evasive Wyrm, Winged Guardian of Zilliax.
Deck has a weird side in it. You can have surprise lethals, so always check for lethals, It may be surprising even for you. Because you always have a big and wide field. You may have 10-12 attack Leeroy Jenkins or 2 Swipes and Scalerider in hand. While you have big taunts like Emerald Explorer or Winged Guardian, it is better to play aggresively and attack to face with your big minions.
Beast package Winged Guardian and Witching Hour is a nice addition to deck after new adventure. Most of the decks can't deal with a 8/10 Winged Guardian but sometimes Witching Hour can be a dead draw, so be careful with it. Note: If you discover Nightmare Amalgam from Emerald Explorer, don't forget that Nightmare Amalgam is also a beast and it can ruin Witching Hour.
Matchups
If you are against an aggro deck like Face Hunter, Zoolock or Mech Paladin, go fast and play your cheap minions and don't let your opponent gain tempo until midgame. After that, their fuel will be out and you will win the game(mostly they will concede lol).
If you are against a non-aggro deck, no need to rush, play on curve and don't trade with your big minions, your opponent is supposed to do trades while you are going face.
For heavily control decks like Quest Priest and Holy Wrath Paladin you should go extremely aggro and smash their faces until they got their objective otherwise you will lose. These decks are the worst matchup for us, so don't be upset if you lose.
For mirror match, most important card is Strength in Numbers. You need to complete it before your opponent.
Mulligan Guide
!!!Always Keep and Hard Mulligan For All-Star Cards !!!
Embiggen Strength in Numbers Breath of Dreams
For aggro matchups you can consider to keep Fearie Dragon, Injured Tol'vir and Scalerider but for others I always hard mulligan for the all-star cards.
Card Preferences
You can try these other cards in your deck if you want:
SN1P-SN4P, Spellbreaker, Archmage Vargoth, Batterhead or Dragonmaw Poacher.
You can cut these cards from deck:
Frizz Kindleroost, Witching Hour, one Injured Tol'vir, one Scalerider.
Yeah it can be tested but I am concerned about dead draws.
If you play Gloop Sprayer in conjunction with Strength in Numbers, the quest pops before the battle cry and you get 2 of the summoned minion if it’s adjacent to Gloop.
@Oroveso You are right. It is a good ruling to know.
Got just enough dust to craft this deck without legendaries and beast package. Is it worth? is there a way i can replace those cards
Legendaries are not must for the deck but the beast package is pretty important. Winged guardian is too powerful. Maybe you should try a different deck if you have limited dust.
when u high roll u high roll u low roll u really low roll, chanses of dead hand can get a bit high might need some tweking
I don't think that is the situation here. You don't draw bad most of times because you got decent 2-3-4 drops in the deck. You don't have to draw Embiggen, Breath of Dreams or Strength in Numbers in your opening hand every single game but if you draw it, it is incredibly good. That is why you need to hard mulligan for them.
Personally I don't always hard mulligan for them. I'm keeping 2-3 drops in aggro matchups.
If you want lesser dead draws, you can cut Witching Hour and Dragonmaw Poacher to add Frizz Kindleroost and SN1P-SN4P.
Is It a place for copy-paste hsreplay top decks?
I just tried some decks and I had fun with this one, also climbed the ladder quickly, so I shared it with a little guide that have my thoughts and experiences. Is it a problem for you?
It is obvious that this deck is not a new crazy theorycraft. I marked this deck as a Ranked deck, not Theorycraft. Competitive decks are not much different from each other, it is pretty normal. Anyway it is not copy-paste, it is my list.
ok, let's give a try!
Please share your feedback with us. I am still looking for better replacements.
Fantastic deck! If you want to see this deck in action, check this video > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiOR_3hHzn4 !
