Small tweak to an existing Archetype meme. Turn 4 Lens + King Phaoris is almost as hilarious as turn 5 clown board.
Hard mulligan voor Prismatic Lens and keep Sphere of Sapience if you have it. Get 1 mana clown and corrupt it around turn 4-5. Win!
King Phaoris is here in case you draw both clowns and still need to corrupt them in the late game. Early draw with Phaoris through lens can get you a sick board in the early game. Save the 10-mana spell for the corruption of the clowns.
Val'anyr would be a blast in this deck, its pretty freaking slow and garbage though.
yeah, val'anyr on clowns would be the most hilarous stuff, but just playing corrupted clowns twice is usually game winning, so val'anyr is kinda like a moot point or win-more. I like that weap more in regular handbuff paladin, for which there are way better decks out there of course ;) Just waiting for that cheap weapon-tutor (like shaman and rogue have) card for paladins or neutral so we can start playing val'anyr more reliably..
I've played about 80 games with the different versions. I'd say a few thoughts yours. I might sound aggressive, don't take it too deep ;)
It's bad to run more minons, because in reality, you lose percentage by drawing that bad minion from Lens. Better to concede the games, where you drew 2 Clowns. You never corrupt the Clown with a 10 drop, there's just no late game, you either hit it in the mid game or not. Getaway Kodo isn't good for that reason.
Forbidden Healing is a bait. I mean it's cool when you swap with a 0, but you are oriented to swap with a 1 anyway and this card doesn't do anything, when you have it. Farraki Battleaxe is too slow. You are already skipping a whole turn with Lens and vs aggro you can't skip another. The buffs you potentially getting from it are redundant anyway.
So you're missing Rebuke, and it is a game changer vs control and mid decks, it is a must. And Competitive Spirit is a core too, at least 1 copy. It's slightly worse than Righteous Cause, but RC is the best buffing card so we always take a less superior version.
I'm kinda fine with everything else :)
If we are cutting Battleaxe maybe add more cards to corrupt with like Flash of Light/Hand of Adal. Add Underlight Angling Rod instead of Rallying Blade. Yes, Rod is less budget, but damn it's really good. The murlocs allow us to fight back and you can also corrupt with them. 3/4 murlocs in the pool are 2 cost or more, but they are usually for board, not the coruption :) Definitely worth the dust spent, much more than Forbidden Healing.
That's my version I took legend with, if you are interested: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1375382-clown-pala-76-wr-to-legend
He's literally running one more minion than your version and he provided a very good explanation as to why it's included. I mean nice job trying to hijack the thread and all though. I'll go downvote your version now.
Sorry, I'm usually a bit faster in feedback. I put the Angling Rod in there for your pleasure, the most important part is the mana cost tho, not specifically the tempo or damage I recon. Thanks for the tips!
I totally get the point about the tweaks, I think in my case I'm not a whale, so I make due with what I have. That said, every time a deck comes out with Prismatic lens, I always think of my main man King Phaoris!
Will take a look at your deck and see if I can craft it. Personally I only like these kind of decks for the memes, not for the laddering part. Just feels a bit like tossing a coin, rather play any odd paladin deck with 2 x Witch's Cauldron :)
Why the hell Rallying Blade is here? Synergise with nothing :D also you have much better options, such as Ceremonial Maul
My guess here is that he is relying on getting Argent Squire or Righteous Protector from First Day of School ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Could simply just be he doesn't have Maul or Angling Rod.
Budget is a good reason :) That and bubble minions from First Day of School and of course to corrupt clowns.
Yes sir! Small upside.
Also made a few changes to make me win more consistently against aggro and shit.
I got diamond with it. tryin legend now. Can't upvote, don't know why
No need, sharing is caring <3
