Hello and welcome to the Team Rocket. My name is Le Dawg, I'm in charge of this organization bent upon bad manners and stealing cards.
Want to start your criminal activity ? No ?! Take a look to this, it will change your mind. Or will it control it ?
This deck has one single goal : Steal your opponents favorites toys to break them on his own face.
LAST CHANGES
As you can see, I changed the deck list to go on a Reno Jackson /Raza the Chained deck, including Shadowreaper Anduin. The first reason is he really have a "Toystealer Anduin" style and can help us to control and harass in late, and because of our bad early, Raza and Reno can help us to survive a lot.
The late will be improved a lot by Arfus and The Lich King, the DK cards are perfect for us and we can afford to mill ourselves with Archbishop Benedictus.
So I played with this deck during 2 days and it is so funny and so strong, god, I think the deck is perfect now.
There is just a little variation : At the right of the page you can see the Geist version of the deck.
An other version of the deck would be : - Skulking Geist - Recombobulator / + Convert + Pint-Size Potion
FROZEN THRONE UPDATE
First thing to say : We were expecting for our lord and savior Archbishop Benedictus, here he is ! Eternal Servitude is the playable ressurect we were expecting, and we have also Spirit Lash as a clear option. With Gnomeferatu, we can also play with Kabal Courier to try to get one. Embrace Darkness can be very funny too but can be easily countered :/ Same problem for Devour Mind, it gives us 1 more card than Thoughtsteal but the mana cost is bad.
Messing up with th enemy cards is our first goal, this is why WE HAVE to include Skulking Geist, according to this, I will try to play without Mind Vision, Potion of Madness and Pint-Size Potion
I'm very disappointed by Shadowreaper Anduin ... But I suppose it can be used as a late game board control option and face damage source..
The Lich King and Arfus (that you can rez with Eternal Servitude ) could fit in our deck : The weapon and the Death Grip are the best options for us, but the other spells to control the board are very nice, and with Archbishop Benedictus we can deal with this self-milling effect
UN'GORO UPDATE :
Great extension : Crystalline Oracle will replace Mind Vision because it get you value on the board for the same effect. You can duplicate a spell with Shadow Visions or a Sylvanas with Mirage Caller. With the deathrattles we have, Spiritsinger Umbra can fit very well to the deck. Curious Glimmerroot can also be added but you can fail at the discover and get nothing, this is why I don't play it.
GADGETZAN UPDATE
Not a great extension for us, but we havePotion of Madness and Pint-Size Potion that can be used ! Dirty Rat can be added to combo with Mind Control Tech
OLD GODS UPDATE
Nothing amazing to improve the deck, but add 3 nice cards which fit with our concept and can make replacements. We have Forbidden Shaping , a card we can play anytime if we are in an emergency and need a minion on the board. Shifting Shade is really good, and Herald Volazj can duplicate Sylvanas or some stolen minions ! But N'Zoth, the Corruptor, if you play with 2 Shifting Shade + Sylvanas, is quite amazing !
LEAGUE OF EXPLORERS UPDATE
The Toy Stealer is more powerful than never, with Entomb and Excavated Evil we are now able to face any type of decks (except the mill decks) if the Gods of RNG are on our sides. You can see my current version of the deck at the right of this page, the Recombobulator can be trade with a Crazed Alchemist, a second Faceless Manipulator or one of the legendaries from the list at the bottom of this page !
CHEAP VERSION OF THE DECK (If you have 0 Legendaries)
Now let's see all the cards which can fit with this play style
TOYS KIDNAPPING
- Mind Control Essential
- Entomb Essential
- Shadow Madness OR Potion of Madness Essential + Great combo with Youthful Brewmaster or Recombobulator
- Cabal Shadow Priest Essential
- Sylvanas Windrunner Essential
- Mind Control Tech Essential can combo with Dirty Rat
- Kezan Mystic Sadly, this card is useless if the opponent has no secrets. You can put it on the board to offer it as a tribute to your angry opponent.
- Embrace Darkness
TOYS COPYING
- Thoughtsteal Essential or Devour Mind
- Mind Vision Essential
- Crystalline Oracle and Shifting Shade
- Mindgames Essential
- Faceless Manipulator
- Convert
- Archbishop Benedictus Late game card but awesome
- Lorewalker Cho (Explanations at the bottom)
TOYS MAINTENANCE
- Recombobulator Return the toy to the store and trade it for a new one.
- Youthful Brewmaster The toy is damaged, has a cool battlecry or want to go back to his owner after the Shadow Madness ? The Youthful Brewmaster is one the most useful card of the deck !
- Kel'Thuzad Fix the broken toys
- Eternal Servitude Resurrect the toy you want !
TOYS CUSTOMIZATION
- Shrinkmeister OR Pint-Size Potion Can combo with the Cabal Shadow Priest and most of your spells.
- Crazed Alchemist or Confuse Same than the Shrinkmeister
- Confuse Can be an option, but I don't like it
- Mirage Caller Combo with Deathrattles
TOYS DESTRUCTION
- Skulking Geist Destroy the enemy cards, essential for us, except if you want to play with 1 mana spells.
- Excavated Evil This card is AMAZING, it will be a dead card for your opponent because you never play toys, and if he use it to kill the toys you stole from him, you will be able to use it again for kill more toys !
- Shadow Word: Death Can combo with Sylvanas Windrunner for a 8 mana Mind Control
- Shadow Word: Pain You can't steal it ? DESTROY IT
- Holy Nova You're the new master of these toys. Reward your slaves and punish your ennemies.
- Lightbomb Clean up the playground
- Spirit Lash Clean option
OTHER
- Lightwell Can heal you in early and tank some damages
- Kabal Courier Awesome answer generator
- Shadow Visions Awesome for a " no duplicate " deck
- Eater of Secrets To mill annoying secrets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the cheap deck, if we remove 1 Recombobulator, 1 Crazed Alchemist and 1 (or 2) Kezan Mystic, you can add 3 or 4 legendaries to your deck. Sylvanas Windrunner is a must have, but let's see the other options :
About Lorewalker Cho
When you get some toys with the Thoughtsteal and already used most of your enslaving spells, Cho can be really interesting.
- You can copy a lot of spells
- Your ennemy will focus him like if he has a taunt effect
- Your ennemy will try to never use a spell, and during the lategame, you can use a Youthful Brewmaster to send Lorewalker Cho back in your hand, cast a spell like Thoughtsteal and then you summon him back.
- Use it to block your opponent and kill it with your Crazed Alchemist when you need to use a spell.
Other good legendaries you can use
- Kel'Thuzad
- Brann Bronzebeard
- Herald Volazj
- Chromaggus
- Nefarian
- Emperor Thaurissan
- Confessor Paletress
- Elise Starseeker
- Elise the Trailblazer
- Spiritsinger Umbra
- Reno Jackson
- N'Zoth, the Corruptor
- The Lich King
- Arfus
- Shadowreaper Anduin
Incredibly fun deck, been making a few minor changes here and there but the overall theme is a joy to play.
The one problem I'm having is against mech mage and hyper aggro decks... even with a "good" draw, there's almost no way to win :/
Been having some issues retaking control of the match because I'm trying to hold my 2 drops for combos. If I don't get anything good, I usually have to wait until turn 4 to have anything on the board to take control. But it's still very fun when things play out right. Was able to steal 2 KTs and duplicate my sylvanas twice in my best game which was hilarious!
I find that Light of the Naaru and Holy Fire make this deck far more survivable. I tend to take a ton of damage in the first few turns and the hero power isn't usually enough to make up for it. LotN adds some healing and another target for them to worry about, and Holy Fire helps to clear pesky things off the board that are outside the ability of the current hand of cards to steal and help bring my life total back up.
My most hilarious moments of Hearthstone have come out of this deck, like having 4 KT's on my side of the board before the opponent surrendered lol
cho trash and uselsess in this deck
ok, you win ;(.
HAhaha your videos are very funny and epic! XD
i find priest boring but this looks fun for doing dailies on casual. made a few changes:
-1 Mind Control, -1 Mind Control Tech, -1 Lorewalker Cho
+1 Dark Cultist to round out the 3 drop
+1 Northshire Cleric for card draw
+1 Sneed's Old Shredder for RNGfun.
Nice deck, removed Cho and mindgames (i haven't them) and replaced with second shadow word death, voljin (nice combo with nova, stealing hp is nice too) and an antique healbot (nice combo with brewmaster vs aggro).
Fun and strong enough in normal game.
This deck is surprisingly effective against control decks. Not great, but surprisingly effective. It makes a complete fool out of freeze mage. Aggro is tough to deal with though, as this deck needs to get you to turn 6 before its true toy-stealing power is realized (6 is cabal time but also shadow madness > brewmaster/recombob time as well). With this in mind, you usually want to mulligan into Mind VIsion and Thought Steal so you have something to do in the meantime.
Solid plays I didn't realize until playing this deck:
Tip: don't Mind Vision until your opponent has played their coin. Most people seem to coin out a 2 drop on their first turn, so you won't have to wait long. It sucks to get a coin with MV.
Edit: I don't have Lorewalker Cho, so I replaced him with a 2nd recombobulator. BUT in my very first game with this deck I facelessed a Piloted Shredder and when it died I got a Lorewalker Cho. Illuminati confirmed.
As far as fun decks go this "steals" the show.
Good work Dawg, the Toy Stealer is unbelievably fun to play and the guide + videos are pure gold. I honestly hope it never catches on because I'd hate to be on the receiving end of this evil little deck.
probably the most fun deck i've played in hs. gj!
Enjoying this deck very much.
Is this actual playaböe on Rank 5 tho? :) But well played bro ^^
Thanks for sharing!
You won't win tournaments with this, but who cares, it's fun!!
Still unsure how turn 1-3 should go, as there's not a great deal of early minions you can freely drop. But when things go your way into the mid game, this deck is hilarious. I love weird decks like this, lose 5 in a row, but that 1 win after that makes it all worth it.
