Miniguide:

Ideal starting hand can be slightly different depending on vs class. If vs druid, I actually want Glide in hand just in case they play Juicy Psychmelon so I can throw that shit right back in lol. In general I want my deathrattle minions in hand and possibly an Immolation Aura vs board spamdecks.

Ideal plays. Educated Elekk should be used in one of 2 ways. Firstly comboing with spells yourself, ideally Mana Burn and Eye Beam. Secondly, as a stall to an expected swing turn. For example turn 6 before Commencement or Guardian Animals. even though these spells might not be ideal for your deck, it might serve as a deterrent for your opponent to play them until elekk is removed. I've had multiple spell heavy opponents concede simply because they didnt want to interact with that card.

Burn combos:

King Mukla to fill opp hand into Coldlight Oracle or killing a Dancing Swords

Obviously Brann Bronzebeard Coldlight Oracle

Playing Mana Burn on these same turns is extra spicy

Ideally you should set yourself up with Emperor Thaurissan to discount a 8+ hand

Niche cards:

Firstly I think Star Student Stelina is pretty trash. It has a cool effect but it's only on outcast...wtf blizzard?! This is only in deck because this was the free card they gave me. There is no way I'd crapft such a niche and hard to get value from card. If you dont own this, just add a second Vulpera Scoundreland hunt for more Mana Burn s or tools you feel needed for your matchup. Ok, now that I'm done bitching on how poor this "legendary" is. When to play Stelina depends solely on knowing your matchup and what your opponent might have. For example, playing before a deathknight or galakrond turn. If they played Kronx Dragonhoof, you know they have it. In the match I posted a screencap off below, I played Stelina after he played Ysera, Unleashed and kicked hisUltimate Infestation out. It's really about know what dumbshit your opponent does lol. Swing turn killer Stellina. It'd be good if it wasnt outcast. Forcing something left and locking other left outcast cards out is annoying.

Glide. Oh glide. The combo breaker. As I already stated it's a play to counter things like Juicy Psychmelon, shadowstepped cards, and other obvious tutored out cards. Ideally you dont want to lower your own handsize to play it. King Mukla or milling before glide can be decent if you dont like your hand/dont have a follow up to further mill. Glide will also force fatigue dmg when your opponent has less than 4 cards in hand and empty deck.

I think I've said enough about about elekk. They get summoned by N'Zoth, the Corruptor, so your end game adds more cards to your deck, has 2 decent taunts(Deathlord) and 2 mill Dancing Swords. I switched over to playing a standard again with new expansion but this was the one wild deck i had to try after getting Stelina.

Good luck. Enjoy.

 

testing a possible new asshole strat

might try a version with fragments.

Hard to tell how good this deck is when every opponent is a fucking baby and ragequit after one or two burnt cards.

Had a complete match vs burn mage. He got rekt. Not sure he realized he was giving me spells by braindead flamewalker spamming with my elekk on board.

This is a Ramp/Ysera Druid. This poor soul gave me a posion seeds which I ended up using and then clearing his whole board of what used to be RNG big dragons. By this picture you might think he was winning. He/she sure probably thought they were. He also gave me like 4 armor cards....basically he kind of defeated himself/herself. Respect The Elekk! Endgame he got me down to ten then i gained 12 armor and played glide when he only had two cards left in hand and he died with a -9 level fatigue.
