Since I'm in the final development of my own game I had some time spare and made this deck. I have had zero counters and climbed to legend with ease.
If people are interested I can write up some strategies as it requires a bit more skill then most decks since you need to play around your own combo's of which the deck is filled with.
Just picking it up won't be easy due to specific play required vs aggro compared to slower decks. The deck crushes all types of play, if I had more time I would go top 10 if not rank 1.
Proof: I connected my battle.net id to this account so it's Athene posting it. If anything else is required you can pm me.
Cheers,
Athene
Yeah Valdris does not feel that good as I thought it would I have to agree with you guys. I find pretty good if you have reactive hand and can "dump" some of your cards and you have Valdris in hand it is pretty solid play on curve and increasing the hand size is good overall but in the later stages it feels like you dont really have time or hand space to play 7 mana draw 4 maybe it would even be better with less draw printed on the card :D . Thanks for the feedback and liking the vid!
Tried this deck with mixed results, would def appreciate a little more explanation.
Frizz Kindleroost feels like a wasted slot as it doesn't stack with plot twist, not sure if it's even worth playing after completing the quest and getting the tome.
Frizz is almost a core card in this deck. Even after getting tome, you can reduce Maligos to 7 mana instead if you would get to draw it normally and being able to get that extra spell in guarantees lethal. Also when using plot twist after you played the Frizz, all dragons in your hand that have been drawn through plot twist from your deck will cost 2 less mana. Zzeraku at 6 mana cost is also very strong as dropping it early and using Rain of fire or tapping to proc it can be a game changer.
There is in total 6 dragons in this deck, so even if you have one or two dragons in your hand when playing it you can get 6 or more mana reduction overall which is great value. A 5 4 stats for 4 mana isn't bad either which has to be dealt with, overall the card has a lot of value.
Thank you for the insight, I've cleaned up my play and have improved dramatically. Everything you said about Krizz is correct, a great card in this deck. Still struggle a lot with heavy aggro, but I feel I have a chance in any matchup out there. Looking forward to future contributions, cheers.
I would like to see also more of the guide :)
Athene from WoW?
Yes
That crazy idiot that started a cult?
quite surprised Athene from WoW is playing Hearthstone..
But I have always welcome Athene's approach to gaming, look forward to new decks from you.
Would you consider throwing in a Dark Portal or two? In place of a Hellfire/Sense/Coil/Rain perhaps? Or do you reckon it's too slow to be a viable turn-4 play in this meta?
Also think I'm missing something as two hellfires and netherwings seems SO dangerous, even with broodmothers & mo'arg nether breaths to help mitigate it.
You get so much healing that it doesn't affect your health to much. Also hunter dragon decks and demon hunters output so much damage that 3 dps doesn't compare, if you don't get the proper cards you are dead vs them either way and a hellfire to clear board can save you a turn which you wouldn't have gotten without it.
Also hellfire is great as finisher as well when you draw it for 0 mana in combo with maligos which is essential vs many decks. The combo with Zzeraku is also great, as it summons an extra 6 6.
Portal is to slow and is only useful for late-game while other cards provide more synergy and are useful across all stages of the game.
Yes please do write out some strats
If there is more interest I don't mind but it seems not many care to much :). Should perhaps stream getting rank #1 for people to see it's potential but I don't have the time to do that anymore.
Yeah I'm sure that's the reason you can't get rank #1.
