Total Deck Rating
24
This deck boasts an 80% win rate against Warlock, Rogue and Mage Aggro decks. The entire idea is to kill as many guys as possible while developing yout board, eventually winning with an Earth Elemental. This carried me through the sea or Warlocks from rank 3 to rank 1.
Mulligan choices :
Against warlock, you must mull for lightning storm, the only exception is that you have 3 other pieces of removal, then maybe you can keep it.
Against Mage/Rogues : 1-2 pieces of cheap removal and/or wolves. Just keep the board clear and your life totals high and you'll be fine.
Against Control : Its difficult. Your ONLY chance to win is to have wolves give you a good headstart in lifetotals, and burn your opponent out mid game just as he stabilizes. If you expect to play against many control decks, consider switching to warlock aggro.
Thanks for this deck, finally snapped a losing streak against over-aggro match ups!
LOL HE'S PLAYING A DRUID BAHAHAHAHAHA
Made an account to post this but played a few games with this deck all with wins so far. One game was back and forth trading with a priest until we both ran out of cards, but I got lucky I with a few points of damage at the end and he died of fatigue first (we both would have died on that turn to fatigue and all of my minions were at the bottom of the deck). Another game a mage flooded the entire board with low hp minions by turn 4 and I got a lucky with a pyromancer + forked lightning + lightning bolt combo to clear all of it and he ended up conceding shortly since I had an answer to everything he dropped.
If you had some more of the commonly seen legendaries, what would you put in/replace?
Just ran this deck through ten un-ranked matches and went 8 and 2. This deck had an answer for everything thing that was thrown at me EVERY time. The games I lost where.. well hard to avoid losses. One of them I got him down to 5, then lord D and back up to 15, back down to 5, then alastrasa (how ever you say/spell it) and back up to 15. I mean I almost beat him even with all that.
Hunters, no problem.. mages, no problem. Real solid deck. This is my new rank deck now.
He's also got a Nourish so I dare say he may not be playing the Shaman in the picture...
One of the most underrated decks I've seen on this site given the cost and how fun it is to shut down the FOTM Murloc rush. Maybe it isn't going to get you to legendary, but it's a ton of fun to play and works great against the most annoying meta deck out right now (for those of us not running into Warrior OTK).
What do you think about replacing the Mana Tide Totem with a Nat Paggle?
Would you consider adding Tinkmaster Overspark for removal against control-heavy decks such as druids?
I also added Ragnaros as a finisher and replaced Flametongue Totem and the Pyromancer by two Acidic Swamp Oozes (loads of OTK Warriors and Rogues out there these days).
The deck carried me from Rank 7 to 5 with no more than a single loss against a mage. Thanks for sharing it and keep up the good work.
no card Sylvanas Windrunner, what would you recommend instead?
Missing an earth ele and sylvanas. What are good replacements?
wow. was running quite same deck for a little long time for now. And i would not say that this is highly diffucult vs control decks except freeze mages, with those its tough and tricky to win. I currently run 2x faerie dragons to split targets out of cone of cold.
Why farseer? I dont think heal3 is better then other choices. And also i usually swap some legendary finisher either ysera rag or malygos, if i run too many not-aggro decks

Any tips for like opening hands? Strat? Stuff like that to help maybe new users trying to make a deck like this?
doesn't seem that viable against warlock rush decks.....can you explain any strategy with warlock rush decks at high ranks?
Kill everything you see. Don't play your dudes unless you're sure you won't get blown out by a buff.
I would probably run a second Mana Tide
Drawing both is almost a death knell against a fast deck.
Missing Bloodmage Thalnos, what would you recommend instead? A second Flametongue? Pyro? Mana Tide?
I'd play another pyromancer, all you want are insurances against blood imp.
