First of all, its not my creation, I saw some streamer watching Hunterace play this.
This is the new meta breaker that will define the meta until rotation. The deck has it all: defence, great swings, mana cheat and lots ant lots of value.
Goal of the deck:
The main goal is to cheat out Tip the Scales by turn 5. This spell summons all your "bad" cards in 1 turn to make your future topdecks good. Also, 6-7 murlocs that clears whatever opponent has and threatening him next turn is no joke.
You have 3 ways to cheat it out, making it super-consistent:
1. 2x Redscale Dragontamer gets you nozdormu if you have Tip the Scales in hand
2. Drawing Nozdormu himself
3. High Abbess Alura with coin or spell from Wandmaker
After you play Tip the Scale, you just play "usual" gameplay with corrupted minions, clowns etc.
Mulligan:
Always keep Redscale Dragontamer , Nozdormu, High Abbess Alura with wandmaker or coin. Keep Tip the Scales if you have either Noz or Redscale Dragontamer.
Important: its awkward, but you DO NOT KEEP anything else, including 1 mana cards.
Replacements:
I have tested 2x Broomstick instead of armor vendors and Lord Barov instead of Libram weapon. It has been ok in mirror matchups, but I feel that in agro matchups its worse. You often skip turn 1 even if you have broomstick in hand, while with armor vendor you play it, having a solid starting board.
The best replacement is to add Sphere of Sapience instead of Libram. It adds more consistency to your draws.

Thx to CrimsonpandaHS for this gameplay video!
Enjoy!
I was considering it. But the thing is, its a spell, and yes, its good to get it from alura, but not as good as Tip the scales. Its not gonna thin your deck for murloc, and then you ll get bad topdecks. So it must be bad
Bad idea, it kills the purpose
Thank you for replying and advices
I will thinking again to improve it
I like this deck, its awsome and already got me 4-0, but i am gonna replace Armor Vendor with First Day of School. This way you have a 0 mana cost card to play when you can iff you dont have the coin.
That will be terrible, mate. Its the whole point of the deck that your Alura can only cast Tip The Scales. If you take 2 new spells in the deck, she will just cast 0 mana spells sometime and loose you the game. In cases when you dont have a coin, you have wandmaker for Alura. If you have trouble finding wandmaker, add Sphere of Sapience weapon instead of Libram for more consistency.
i stoped playing the deck because this. it doesnt feel fair.
Long time since any Murlocs make their ways into a good deck !! Thankyou
The original list plays an Ooze instead of the Libram, for a better Rogue matchup.
Rogue is hardly an issue for this deck. Once you cast Tip the scales, they just concede, they cant clear that board. If you dont like Libram, I suggest adding Sphere of Sapience for more draw consistency.
Sphere of Sapience is not great in this deck. Because the deck has no card draw at all, it takes too long to make up for the initial cost of one card.
Vulpera Scoundrel is probably a better option, as it adds consistency to the Alura plan, while still being an acceptable draw on 10 mana.
Edit: there is some additional value to the Sphere, as it can help ensure that a copy of Tip The Scales remains in your deck for Alura to cast, but that's probably not a common enough problem to take into consideration.
The issue with this deck is the unmanageable swing of High Abbess Alura on turn 4 with the coin.
If you don't have a near full clear in your hand on turn 5 there's not much you can do to come back. It helps if you can clear the Warleaders since with them the Fishy Flyer's have 8 damage. There is a good chance you'll be at 5-10 hp by turn 6.
Unfortunately that swing just isn't balanced in terms of what is available to most classes.
Warrior and Warlock deal with the swings of this deck the best since they have the most low cost tools(in meta). Tickatus Control also does pretty well against this. I actually think Nozdormu hurts the deck the most against Warriors and Warlocks. It would be better to just hang onto it and play a slower game but people cut and paste these decks from here and don't think for themselves.
In the last 3 days it has been nothing but paladins playing the three variants of this in D5 to D1.
A tip, in my experience, the worst matchup for this deck is spell arbor up druid. You cant clear those large boards and if 4+minions stick, you just die. So if you meet a lot of these paladins, I suggest you try playing some druid )
Insane deck, lets enjoy before the nerf
This deck is the nuts. FINALLY something that works for me........or maybe i just have to wait to the last day of season to climb, haha. Anyway, I just climbed from d10-d6** with 8-1 record. Amazing.......just follow your mulligan suggestions and it's amazing. Even if the cheating out doesn't work, the corrupt game is strong.
thank you, thank you, thank you!
OH, and i DID add Sphere of Sapience.
I can try to help if you'd like. Shoot me a private message
How do i shoot your a private message? please add me, all servers. BigDaddy#13238
I'm missing three cards from this list: N'Zoth, God of the Deep, Darkmoon Rabbit and Nozdormu the Timeless. Especially Nozdormu serves little purpose outside of this deck and also it's rotating pretty soon. Also Nozdormu seems pretty vital for this deck. The question is, is this deck worth 3600 dust?
its a top 3 archetype right now and the only that's not an aggro deck. All three missing cards are vital (Noz is the lynchpin, Nzoth for tempo reload, darkmoon for post noz tempo swing/corrupt activator).
