Hi guys, i recommend you try this deck out. It's the ultimate control deck, with plenty of early game to beat all aggro decks as well as Pirate Cancer.
Updated for Gaz: +2 Dragonoid Operative = Best new Card. +2 Dragonfire Potion = Best Clear in the game. -1 Azure Drake (doesn't combo with potion) +1 Book Wyrm, as there are many 3/4 in the current game.
+ Brann Bronzebeard because we are greedy for more Draknoid Operative combo.
You will never run out of cards using this deck. Just focus on clearing the board each turn and mounting control of the board.
So far i have climbed rapidly, including a 9 game win streak
Mulligans:
Fairly standard in this deck. Usually we want to keep Zombie Chow and Twilight Whelp regardless of who we are playing.
We can keep Northshire Cleric, but we only play her turn 1 against heroes that can't destroy her. Warrior, Druid, Warlock, Mage, Shaman can clear her mostly. Great to play turn 1 against Pally.
Twilight Guardian I nearly always keep. We usually draw another dragon by turn 4. With coin Azure Drake is also nice to keep. We really want some dragon action early, a had of spells could mean you begin to far behind.
Museum Curator is ok turn 2, but I prefer to draw him rather then keep him in starting hand. He is a good card when we don't have much of a play and can provide us with what we need. Sometimes a 2nd Chillmaw which is handy to keep in hand.
im enjoying this deck very much :D
Ty. It doesn't lose to often!
N'Zoth seems way better than Yogg here
I keep trying this deck in ranked, and I can't manage a good draw (mostly 5 mana cards) which makes me lose 90% of the time.. This deck just can't outlast mid-range druid without more board clearing spells. Playing that deck, you just can't afford to leave anything on the board or else FON+SR will humiliate you instantly.
I love the idea of this deck, but its just not a winner in this meta.
this deck gets MURDERED by freeze mage.
it sure does. Most slow decks do!
Nice deck. Rly good against agro. Good against druids (!!!) and Zoo (slightly better then 50%). Not rly good against secret paladin (maybe I played it bad?).
My replacements:
-1 Shrinkmeister +1 Eydis Darkbane
Suggested replacements:
- 1 Elise Starseeker for now don't know with which card to replace, Justicar Trueheart may be. Or some big dragon.
- 1 Twilight Whelp +1 Faerie Dragon
Also I think, in standard this deck will shine even better.
I originally swapped Chillmaw for Deathwing, I did find this to be very helpful and had more wins from Deathwing than Golden Money, you just need to know when to play him. I got to rank 5. I got stuck between 5-6 for that season. This season I am trying to address some other problems with this deck. I removed the Shrinkmeister and added a Lightbomb and have been very pleased with the results. Zombie Chow I replaced both with 2 Faerie Dragon, you can't heal the card Power Word: Shield or Velen's Chosen, you can not even heal with your priest hero power, I am crazy right? Well this minion sticks will vs Warriors, Mages, and Shaman in this meta who use spells to remove your minions. It also is a dragon so it gives more chances to have your early game cards work. Plus you can hide it behind lots of the early game taunted dragons in this deck for more survivability when the enemy has minions on board. It has been working surprisingly well. Zombie Chow was healing the enemy too much if I drew it late game, normally I could work around this but without the Zombie Chow this deck can be used a lot earlier too. I have also been considering Brann Bronzebeard because many of the dragons have battlecries. Also have been considering Justicar Trueheart but having a harder time finding a place for her in this deck.
-1x Chillmaw
-1x Shrinkmeister
-2x Zombie Chow
+1x Deathwing
+1x Lightbomb
+2x Faerie Dragon
trash deck
That's because you're a trash player. :)
Rank 9 doesn't count. Post back if you go past 5. Thanks.
This was a fun deck to play in casual, but im getting annihlated in ranked even at 15.
That being said I don't have Chillmaw - replaced with a faceless manipulator (double ysera-mirror), but I consistently draw terrible hands and cant recover.
Maybe the local meta is unfavorable for the deck, try another archetype until you pass the blockade, then try again.
I like this deck a lot. I took out Chillmaw for Dr. Boom and just got legend using this deck ;)
Great against aggro decks and control aswell!
Most people who have commented and used this deck this season, have either made it to a higher rank then ever before, or hit much higher then rank 10.
You must have been very unlucky, or all those other players have all won the lottery.
Man, how you lose against rouges? =) For me them are free elo.
0-2 so far. Lost ot secret pally. I actually saved my Lightbomb in the mulligan, and boy was it useful after the Dr. 6. But, I didn't draw into any of my Dr. 7 answers and one of his boom bots did 4 damage to my azure drake, swinging the game.
Then lost to a pretty standard Zoolock. I just couldn't keep up or draw into my holy novas.
So... it seems like a pretty solid deck, but, so far the results have been poor.
Hit rank 5 easily
Hit Rank 5 with this deck. I am stuck now between 5 and 6, but i got the awesome chest. Thank you<3 Its really fun to play :)
Yeah I had the same problem here 5-6 deck.
