Hearthpwn

Why no one is running Polkelt anymore? Is he not good?

Admittedly I had a terrible start when playing this deck, going 0-3 against stealth rogue x2 and a Paladin deck that cheated out the 7/7 10-drop guy on turn 5, but I found the list enjoyable to play and after a while started to feel more comfortable with it. There's a lot of interesting things to think about that are probably obvious to folk who've played DH more - for instance, Wandmaker isn't necessarily always your 2-drop because Outcast exists, as well as the usual Twin Slice + Altruis tricks that have always been around.

My biggest concern is that most of my wins felt like "oops I win" moments where I notice I suddenly have lethal through some combination of legendaries + burst damage, rather than it all being planned in advance. Probably more indicative of me as a player.

I'm reasonably sure I understand when I'm aggro and when I'm the control deck, but even then it's much more difficult to change gears with this than it is with other decks - for example, I got to Legend playing Pure Paladin, and you have a pretty consistent gameplan with that deck regardless of your role. With this deck, I felt the need to sometimes not automatically just kill all my opponent's minions and go for an early Skull turn to build up; however, I almost always got destroyed when I did this so maybe I should just go back to what I was doing before.

I still have a long way to go in levelling DH and getting the extra portraits, so this should help. I'd likely play it more next month, but for now it's a good stopgap to clear quests and get a few extra wins.

Overall I'd recommend this list to people willing to try something new, but I wouldn't say it's the best at any particular gameplan. It's just a regular midrange deck, and I think other classes do the job better.

Nice deck. What would be the best replacement for 2 x Felsteel Executioner ?

Top 5 legend?? This is garbage.
