Hey guys! Since Duel! will rotate this year and we were gifted this week with Shadow Hunter Vol'jin, I tried to play one more time this fun/meme deck, and for my surprise it worked very well! I went from Diamond-5 to Legend with a good winrate!!
Barricade is an amazing addition to the deck from the mini-set, turn 3 Ceremonial Maul followed by turn 4 Barricade is very strong! Shadow Hunter helps as well since we can have a crazy turn-5 with a 3/6 + a huge minion. Even playing it at turn 7 (with hero power) is very strong. The downside is that he is a bad minion for Duel! or Commencement.
So the core of the deck is:
# 2x (0) First Day of School
# 2x (2) Air Raid
# 2x (3) Ceremonial Maul
# 1x (4) Archmage Vargoth
# 2x (4) Barricade
# 2x (4) Consecration
# 2x (5) Duel!
# 1x (5) Shadow Hunter Vol'jin
# 2x (6) Hammer of the Naaru
# 2x (7) Commencement
# 1x (8) Plagued Protodrake
# 1x (8) Tirion Fordring
# 2x (9) Runaway Blackwing
# 1x (10) Colossus of the Moon
# 2x (10) Scrapyard Colossus
About the minions, I think Colossus of the Moon and Scrapyard Colossus are must have. The other ones are questionable which one is better. The dragons are really good with Commencement, and Tirion is great with Duel!. Turalyon is also an option. Another option is to cut 1 big minion (but I liked this number so we don't run out of steam VS control decks).
The other "support" cards I choose were this:
# 1x (2) Hand of A'dal
# 1x (2) Lightforged Blessing
# 1x (2) Subdue
# 1x (3) Underlight Angling Rod
# 1x (5) Libram of Justice
Feel free to replace them if you want, they are not "core cards" but there are not many options to fill the deck with, so I mixed some help to the earlygame and some removal (libram works well with the consecration and subdue can be usefull as well). I didnt like to use any of the paladin secrets.
On mulligan look for your early game cards, barricade and duel!
And Have fun, I really enjoyed playing the deck on this meta!
Replacement to Colossus Of the Moon??
Another plague protodrake or u can try turalyon if u have it
Interesting idea, but Duel and Commencement seem to pull Shadow Hunter Vol'jin a few times too often for my liking.
The chance is on average 1/9 (actually a little bit less than that since we can keep vol'jin on mulligan)... I do think it is worth it, if you have a minion to bounce back it is better than Duel! If no, u can compare with commencement (7 manas), no taunt + divine shield but a 3/6 body.
