UPDATE FOR JULY 2016 meta:
Replace Eternal Sentinel x2 with Tuskarr Totemic x2
Replace Ancestral Knowledge x2 with Thing from Below x2
Optional: Replace Earth Shock x1 with Flame Juggler x1
INTRO:
I have tried few different decklists and changed a few cards around until I came to this version which served me very good. I went from rank 4.2k to top 100 legend in 2 days with it.
The deck is very strong for this early standard meta and I consider it S Tier (Super Tier that is above all the T1 decks out there).
As there are no more Deathlords, Sludge Belchers and Antique Healbots in standard this deck got a lot of stronger, it only lost crackes but it gained Eternal Sentinels and insane Flamewreathed Faceless! But you need to have the board when you drop it so we went for stronger early game in terms of Argent Squires and Flametongue Totems.
So all with all those changes in consideration this deck came up on top of...well every other deck out there atm. I do believe however that as the meta gets older and other decks more polished, this deck will drop down to T1.
UPDATE: Got #61 legend with it 2 days before the end of the season. (Total score is 43-15 from rank 4.2k and up).
Gameplay videos:
Here is a list of my games from today, went from 4.2k+ to rank 127 legend in a day. As you can see the deck is VERY streak-y so if you start with a losing streak don't get discouraged!
REPLACEMENTS:
-Eternal Sentinels can be replaced with Flame Jugglers.
-Sir Finley Mrrgglton can't really be replaced but if you don't have him you can try Worgen Infiltrator or a Lava Shock.
-Tunnel Troggs can maybe be replaced by Worgen Infiltrators if you absolutely have no other option, but note that the deck wont be nearly the same.
FAQ:
Q: What hero power should you be trying to get with finley?
A: Hunter usually, if you need some board control you can get the druid one (it works well with doomhammer), vs control or zoo sometimes you might want to get warlock hero power, next one is mage, then pala. You pick warrior/priest only if you are playing vs another aggro deck and you drop it late game and just need that 1 extra turn to kill your opponent.
Q: small guide please?
A: Argent squires + Abusive / Flame tongue are for early board control, you can watch the video above, I tried to include as much gameplay tips as I could.
Q: What are the cards that I should mulligan with?
A: It really depends on the matchups and if you have coin or not, but usually you keep 1 drops + abusive, totem golems, and if you have coin and play vs something like zoo or other shaman you might keep a 1 mana removal with coin.
As for doomhammer, you can keep it if you have 1+2 drop or if you are playing vs a control deck and have 1 or 2 drop, I don't recomend that you keep it if you don't have an early game minion or if you are playing vs an aggressive deck.
As you know every deck builder needs some sort of incentive, so this will be the plan:
10+ likes I will make a quick video that includes tips about the general playstyle of the deck
50+ likes I will make a list of possible replacements (those are always in high demand)
Videos that other people made:
since 2 days playing this deck... 23-4 so far ... nice deck to ladder !! :))
You fight for the board with this deck, you don't go just face from turn 1, try watching my 2 videos and maybe the new VOD from twitch, I hope those help answer your question.
I've been getting mixed results with this in Standard (maybe 15-12?), but then went Wild and absolutely steamrolled (9-1). Only 3 or 4 of those wins were against obviously netdecked stuff, but that's still surprisingly good.
Related question: can this deck somehow benefit from Naxx/GvG stuff?
Stuck at rank 15 on EU.
At the moment I have 6-1 with my zoo lock. If you are able to control the board from turn 1 he has no chance...
I tried to replace 1 Doomhammer with Leroy, any thoughts on that?
If you draw it early, it is kind of dead, but if it works for you go for it.
Wouldn't do it... doomhammer has so much potential, and the combo with Rockbiter Weapon is just insane to pass on.
Thx
They take Belcher out of the meta and somehow people think the can run minimal taunt. Then this deck capitalizes on the lack of taunt and people cry foul. The ugly truth is that decks that have no room for taunt will fall out of this meta thanks to this deck.
This deck is literally ruining this game. Actually let me rephrase that, the communities choice to play the fuck out of this deck is ruining this game. I face this deck at least 1 out of every 4 games. How do you find this deck fun? It's been a week into the expansion and you all run to an aggro deck.
Face-kids have downvoted the comment. Butthurt much smorcers?!
dude atm patron and this deck are the only decks i can craft/afford as f2p player .
This deck is the reason this game is a joke
