Mulligan hard for Crazed Alchemist as it's the best card for this matchup.
Use Wailing Soul, Ironbeak Owl and Polymorph Boar on your "Winter's Veil Gift" to deny your opponent a gift. You can also protect it by playing Deathlord / Annoy-o-Tron.
If you have Flamewaker/Sorcerer's Apprentice in hand it might be right to save up your gifts to play them all for free while doing lots of random damage.
Flamecannon can be used early to get a free gift if you don't get Crazed Alchemist.
Here's a video of the gameplay (3 full matches):
arcane intellects seem kind of pointless. maybe put in spellbreakers or polymorphs to replace them.
Arcane Intellect is usually dead in my hand. So many cards from the gift, so little mana, not worth spending three mana for more cards. Also the games rarely lasts long enough for a non-discounted Flamestrike to be playable, if I really need it I'll grab one from a gift.
Instead I had good use of Mirror Image to protect my own gifts early. Can also be played for free with Sorcerer's Apprentice for extra damage with Flamewaker.
Hey there. I also did a Denial Mage deck, especially against a Rogue game, my Wee Spellstoppers were really annoying after the mid-game :P
5 wins in a row for the quest. Crazed Alchemist FTW. Genius deck! Cheers!
i am a little confused with the wailing soul in this deck??? can somebody explain to me what good silencing your OWN minions do?
Since you have no way of killing your OWN minions it's better that if THEY kill it they won't win the card.
sure you can kill you own minions, i do it all the time :) just hero power spell them down :)
Doomsayer is a must - with coin you get two gifts at start of T2 and they are denied your gift on their T2. (barring owl)
I agree. If I revised the deck I'd include 2x doomsayer. I'd take out a wailing soul and one zombie chow.
I don't think Arcane Intellect and Unstable Portal are needed. I've never ran out of cards with this deck as you should be getting gifts (if not, you are dead anyway). I actually won against a few people that drew too much. Azure Drake is iffy. It's not a high value card. If you have Thalnos, he would probably be better. Again, drawing cards is not a problem for me.
Here are some cards I'm using in my deck you can experiment with to see which is better:
Mirror Image: Helps protect your crates, becomes free with Sorcerer's Apprentice, great when you get Antonidas, which is more often than not.
Abusive Sarg: Helps when you have a crate not sleeping, which sometimes doesn't happen. You can tech in one and see how it works.
Counterspell: Needs more testing. If you can get a gift with it, great.
Loatheb: Seems to work well. I play it when I know they have a gift or multiple gifts. It can get you back on the board and/or lock out the game.
All freezing spells I've found really great in this Brawl. If you are behind and don't want him getting a crate with minions. He can only use his spells. Loatheb + Frost Nova and they can't do anything, you have a 5/5 to att a crate next turn.
Sludge Belcher: Serves the same purpose as Deathlord, Annoy, and Mirror Image.
Flamestrike has always been good, especially with Frost Nova. I run 2.
First deck which with I won. Well done!
