This is a reno N'Zoth, God of the Deep deck, with some corrupt cards that I felt fit the menagerie build well. We originally had Y'shaarj, the defiler, but I feel like he was too situational with only 3 single copies of corrupt cards.
N'zoth Pool (Circus Amalgam can be any of these ofc):
Elemental: 6/6 Holy Elemental, Zephrys the Great
Mech: Carousel Gryphon, Zilliax
Demon: Terrorguard Escapee
murloc: best case you get Murgurgle Prime or Fishy Flyer, but this one is pretty much going to just be a random murloc
Dragon: also fairly random with Dragonqueen Alexstrasza being your best pull, but she herself gives random dragons so it's hard to say
Beast: Weasel Tunneler, Fleethoof Pearltusk
This is also a Weasel Tunneler deck for some reason, so I put Prince Liam in the deck to catch the other half of the weasel and to destroy secrets in your deck that haven't yet been pulled. Prince Liam is kind of a backup plan in case you dont draw mad scientist or weasel tunneler. this deck can finally start corrupting after turn 5, so if you haven't drawn mad scientist weasel tunneler or still have secrets in your deck, it's best to just get rid of them with liam. Since for the most part this deck draws one card per turn, you want each draw to be worth more than 1 mana preferably.
I like to run Call to Arms as a way to chew through the deck, making your future draws of higher quality. It's the best way to thin your deck while still fighting for tempo. It may be unsatisfying when it pulls Sir Finley of the Sands and especially zephrys, but the way I see it they aren't doing much anyway if they are in your deck. It's much more important to just get to the impactful cards.
I tossed in Rally! just recently because the deck actually has some decent ressurects. your 1 drop will usually just be a silverhand recruit, but hopefully you can get a Weasel Tunneler. We are obviously very happy if rally resummons mad scientist, redscale dragontamer or murgur murgurgle for the 2 cost minion. And at 3 mana we have Bronze Explorer, Terrorguard Escapee, Wickerflame Burnbristle [/card] and [card]dragonrider talritha. Talritha is definitely the worst of the 4, but come on, you are not going to be mad if you resummon Dragonrider Talritha.Terrorguard Escapee is a pretty sick summon, we run him to mess with freaking big priest and he is conventiently a demon for n'zoth.
Mulligan:
Usually just toss all secrets, you would much rather pull them from your deck. If you're sneaky maybe you keep Oh My Yogg! to destroy quests or Shadow Essence, but in general I would just toss it because it's hard to determine your match up in mulligan.
Keep all 2 and 3 drops and weasel tunneler against all classes.
Against mage, paladin, rogue, hunter, demon hunter: keep Reno Jackson
Against priest: keep Call to Arms and try to play terrorguard escapee on turn 3 with all your hearthstone skills.
Pretty much throw everything else away, they are better to draw later in the game.
deck is pretty heavy, far from optimized, but it's a really fun idea and really would appreciate suggestions in the comments.
How are you getting multiple weasels out of this aside from rally and nzoth? I don't see how it is impactful
you usually don't get any extra weasels, it's just silly.
XD
This is why so many players complain about wild, look at this list.
lol right?! prince liam weasel paladin is so cancer. man wild is just a bunch of garbage.
Not only that, but the expensive legendary cards too.
I've tried Taritha in fully dragon builds, but the best value I got from her was in an aggressive Dragon deck, with some Murlocs.
I've played more than 4000 games with Paladin and got to legend with many decks.Well, the problem is that it has too many options agaisnt late game decks, which means it's weaker against aggressive decks. 1) I would swap Alexstrasza for that 5 4/6 dragon that heals your hero for 8. 2) Also, I've tried Hidden Wisdom and it's really bad. How about Solemn Vigil? Usually it's a 3 mana spell. 3) Taritha is useless, so I would swap her for something else. Truesilver Champion, Aldor Peacekeeper, Acidic Swamp Ooze, orEater of Secrets. Hell, even Tinkmaster Overspark is better because it counters big priests and may also help your little guys become dinosaurs. 4) I would definitely swap Bellringer for Call to Adventure. Gets immediately your Weasel for your Shenanigans. 5) Finally, swap Mad Scientist for Hand of Ad'al. Basically you don't want to fetch random secrets, because Liam won't have many targets and Redemption needs to have specific targets.
Do this and you'll still have a fun deck, but with more chances of wrecking your opponents.
Disclaimer: For any smart snowflakes. I know these aren't the ultra pro tips, but it seems that this guy is also looking to have fun. If he wanted actual pro tips, he could watch some Trump videos, he doesn't need us.
Thanks for the tips, I'm glad to have a paladin veteran like you review my deck. basically the idea behind having the scientist and bellringer, is I feel its the most efficient way to thin the deck and make my future draws better while still developing tempo. (its the same reason I put in call to arms) I think solemn vigil is a really good card to put in the deck. It pains the greedy deck building part of me to take out alex, but It probably is a little redundant with how much late game the deck already has. Amber Watcher is a great card, and I will try it.
I want to keep dragonrider talritha, she's fun, and i never play her in any deck. There are obviously decks that can better utilize her, and this deck really lacks a high tempo turn 3 play. Theres really no good reasons to be running her other than she is fun to get off of rally. The deck has a handful of dragons so why not.
