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:
Thanks for your deck! I reached legend for the first time :) Here is the proof! I substituted one Lightning Storm to replace Eternal Sentinel as I felt I was encountering many aggro decks.
Did you mean Lightning Storm ?
Like crafting it, or playing it?
Because yes to both.
if i replace Eternal Sentinels with Flame Juggler, what are the setbacks?
You lose the tempo you gain by dropping a free 3/2 body (in most cases) but you gain a nice minion that can ping off 1hp minions which can be very crucial at the start of the game.
I would guess its the other way around since this decklist is way older :P
Wouldn't running 1 Lightning Storm be good since many people run aggro decks and this deck has 0 clears? Also synergizes well with Tunnel Trogg and the deck runs 2 Eternal Sentinel which help with the overload.
The opposite happened to me, I've lost almost every single mirror game because their lightning storm cleared trogg+feral spirit minimum, in other games i've lost up to 6 monsters to it.
can i build this deck with replace Eternal Sentinel to Lava Shock ?
Try using 2 Flame Jugglers instead. I didn't find that unlocking Mana Crystals was too useful, and 3/2 bodies are bad against other aggro decks. The 1 damage ping was crucial a lot of the time and has won me a lot of games right from turn 2.
great deck! any way to put in 1 more Earth Shock? dont know what to take out. thinking about one eternal sentinal
I kind of like Huge Toad more than Eternal Sentinel in this deck
The 1 extra damage has changed games while the unlock hasn't really aside from giving an additional totem mid-late game
Are you crazy?
What does SMOrc mean?
It's a twitch emote that people use when a streamer attacks someone's face. So an inside joke, i guess?
SMOrc means Space Marine Orc... Its from warhammer 40k
Work With 1 Doomhammer ? Good against c'thun decks ?
Please guys dont believe this thread. Tried almost 2 days results are really awful like 15w-21l. Don't even try this cancer(it really is not your opponent thats you). Im the man who plays this game beginning of beta.
Oh you're the man! I've been looking everywhere for you! Everyone, come see the great and terrible beta man!
