hi any replacments for the chow i think its a bit to dangerous to play it incase it is duplicated :D

So far i faced 3 damn facehunters in a row and they lost so bad...Haha the deck is really fun to play :D

Your deck is really nice and very fun to play! I will make only one recomandation: i think its  needs some draw power so you might want to add at least one arcane intellect.

PS: That feeling when you crush the facecancer :p

This deck is brilliant! I just completely destroyed two face-hunters in a row! :)

Isnt it hilarious when you face face-hunter with this deck? :p

This deck is more effective than I thought it would be and it is a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

I feel like Molten Giants are counter intuitive to the deck's strategy of healing. Unless you hold all of your healing minions until after you drop your giants, they will delay them every turn. And those healing minions can be a lot of your mid game board control so I don't really want to hold on to them too long. Why not replace them with Mountain Giants since you hold a lot of your cards for combos? Or A Ragnaros maybe?

I haven't played a ton with this deck yet so maybe they work better in practice than in theory. We'll see! Love the deck idea though and can't wait to try it more!

Yeah, you just proved my point. He had his healing cards in hand instead of playing them. The massive molten giant copy drop can be accomplished many ways, like Day[9]'s echo deck. But this deck claims to have a main strategy of healing while you don't want to heal to do your combo. You simply can't do both at once. Sure you can heal up like crazy after you drop your molten combo to get you to stable, but by that point you've already won the game so what's the point? Ice block and Alexstraza accomplish this on their own.

I love echo/dupe/handmage/molten decks - have tried many variations - and am playing one very similar to yours right now. It's slow climbing the ladder because games are long, but it's just so much fun! Especially control matches, it feels like a long fencing match.

A few comments:

1. I don't use Kezan Mystic, I don't run into very many secrets, and mine are rarely stolen, and when they are, I usually get killed immediately, I don't have time to steal it back.
2. I don't play sheep or chow, just because the ladder has been control heavy for me on NA the last few days, and I feel like the deck has enough tools to win a decent amount against aggro without them. But I've used sheep on and off.
3. I use Illuminator, sometimes 1 of, I've seen hardly anyone play it except Zetalot's medic mage. I think it can be pretty good if you play it carefully. You can think of it as a minimum of 8 healing and 2 damage for 3 mana - it tanks 4, heals 4, and does 2 to whatever kills it. It goes well with frost nova on turn 6, when it usually heals at least 8 (3-mana healbot w. upside!) - more if you then wipe with flamestrike. It's much easier to fit into an Echo turn than Healbot.
4. I don't run Poly, as it doesn't serve the dual reach/removal of fireball, and I'd rather freeze the opponents whole board than remove one creature. I run 2 frost novas and 2 blizzards.

Anyway, good stuff.

Hi! This is very fun and nice deck to play, but i still autoloose to warriors, druids and priests(((

Nice deck. Just duplicated Kezan Mystic against secret mage and.... "You win this one" - she said. So much fun playing this deck.

Great guide dexd I am big fan of these kinds of decks. However I have one question. When you say combo giants after healing how is that possible? When you heal you just make the giants more expensive in terms of mana. Unless you mean waiting to heal until you get to 1 or 2 health.

Sorry my english is a bit bad, i mean use the giants then use alex/healing to have 1-2 8/8 for free and got healing :) 

Ah nice thanks alot for the help! And your english is fine :p

2 Moltens on the board then Alex= LETHAL!! I played a lot of variations of this deck and I had one that I had that easily dealt with aggro. I added an unstable ghoul and 2 abominations. Great for board clear. 

Nice deck, I swapped out an Antique Healbot for Emperor Thaurissan and it's worked pretty well. Highlight of my games was vs a control warrior, we both went to fatigue but I won quite easily, I played Alexstrasza 4 times that game (1 original, 2x duplicate and the 4th from Echo) I healed myself twice and him once (4th wasnt needed), definitely a fun deck :D

Edit: Typo

I upvoted you because this deck is actually pretty good and a lot of fun.  There's a lot to think about each turn, how to get value out of duplicate and echo especially.  

Explosive sheep is great vs druid shades.  I just finished a match vs a druid where he had to kill 7 sludge belchers (4 from duplicate, 2 from deck, 1 from echo).  The druid just flat out RAN out of steam and I was healing for so much by hiding my illuminators behind the belcher wall that I never even got to drop moltons.  

Speaking of molton giants.  I really don't know about them.  It did help me in one game vs a pally, but if you play right, you can heal for a lot during a match.  I think if you replace them and put maybe another polymorph, and maybe ragnaros, it might be better.  I might try this myself.  

Also, THARASSIAN is AMAZING in this deck.  You literally have so many cards in hand by turn 6 that you can just blind drop him.  Also, he's perfect after a duplicate and echo.  I put Tharassian in this deck OVER sylvanas, because I ran into a lot of silence while going from rank 18 to 15.  

Yes I know 15 is low, but the season just started and I've reached rank 3 before.  I might try to tweak and master this fun deck and go for legendary this season, but it's a damn grind.  

is illuminator useful as you only have 2; 3 with kezan secrets total

Of course, two blocks are secrets that u have all the time and can guarantee at least one heal from illuminator, is really really good and must for this deck.
