Hearthpwn

Hello all,

So I have never bothered grinding to Legend at all in either formats ever since I was playing Hearthstone, but with the achievements there I decided to give it a crack with both formats.

To climb to D5 I used Secret Mage obviously because you want fast games and make use of the win streak bonus stars. But once you cement at D5 you just want to increase your chances of winning each game. The climb took me around 4-5 hours and I was winning more games once I got the hang of the deck and the draws as I dont use any deck tracker etc...

The deck fairs well against aggro (Odd Paladin, Token Druid, Pirate Rogue, Kingsbane Rogue), its all about draw against Secret Mage, and mostly wrecks any control apart from Malygos Druid (unless you land a good Brann Bronzebeard & Dirty Rat combo). Mill Rogue is going to be ridiculous to beat of course but I didn't see any.

Unsung hero card of the deck >Hysteria: won me many games, specially in mirrors.

Cards I can do without and didnt use much:

• Glacial Shard: its nice to have for sure against Kingsbane Rogue to buy and extra turn, or to stop heavy damage from a minion but I often found myself tempo-ing it out.
• Plague of Flames: Never had a huge board of minions myself or anything to combo with it.

Tip:

Be careful of Voidcaller  pulling Tickatus, it happened to me once but I was smart to kill my own Tickatus and get it back with Raise Dead.

Any questions or feedback please leave in comment section, much appreciated.
