Deck record is 31-5 through mid ladder
This deck works off of Dragon and Deathrattle synergies. Use heavy control and healing to get to mid-late game where the deck shines. Healing is significant enough to outlast any rush.
Dragon Consort is a great tempo play to set up the rest of the dragons. All of the Deathrattle minions have significant impact. and when combined with N'Zoth, the Corruptor on 10 is a knockout.
Abomination plays well with your own Twilight Summoner while limiting aggro at the same time.
Mulligan for early removal and aoe. Doomsayer, Wild Pyromancer, Aldor Peacekeeper, Equality, Humility, Truesilver Champion
Looking to limit opponents board and damage until after turn 4. Try to save Doomsayer until T3. It's hard for the opponent to remove here and sets up for a clean turn 4 where this deck takes off.
Turn 4 plays are all fairly strong
Twilight Guardian, Truesilver Champion, Twilight Summoner
Turn 5 Not a single bad play here
Abomination, Dragon Consort, Azure Drake
Turn 6
Sylvanas Windrunner or Chillmaw if you have him set up from an earlier Dragon Consort
**Edit ** -2 Twilight Summoners, -1 Azure drake, -1 Deathwing +2 Blackwing Corruptors, +1 Emperor Thaurissan, +1 Nefarian
++Edit 2++ -1 Thaurissan +1 Ragnaros the Lightlord -1 Blackwing Corruptor +1 Azure Drake
80% win rate over 60+ games
I like the concept, but isn't N'Zoth a bit underwhelming with only 5 death rattles? Especially considering that Abomination + Chillmaw can be a liability.
Tirion, Chillmaw, and Sylvanas alone make N'Zoth worth it. I have only had Chillmaw and Abom both trigger twice in 60+ games. Rately at that point in the game do you have a dragon in hand or have seen both die before playing N'Zoth. That said I have subbed out Abom recently in favor of Harrison as a meta call with the popularity of all the weapons classes.
Thanks for the feedback. The deck as done well so far and I just subbed out Humility for Keeper of Uldaman. The deck is 28-5 so far so it definitely needs more play time. Peacekeeper is on the active mulligan list so that is fine for T3. Occasionally I will play a naked Pyro if the match needs the board but I have found that most of the time some patience is fine given how strong the mid-late game is and recovery of the deck. One of the losses is to face shaman so you're not wrong. But I have had great match ups so far beating shaman and zoo multiple times. The deck draws 6+ cards as is and that is plenty given the quality/ body of the drops. It almost always up values trades. I chose LoH instead of Rag since it is missing the card draw by not having vigil. It doesn't need Rag since the rest of the board is so strong. The other benefit of LoH is that I can target what I want rather than relying on luck to get the heal to the right place. There are alot of N'Zoth pally decks and this is just my take given the strong dragon tempo synergies of Paladin. Deathwing on 10 even with N'Zoth in hand isn't bad and adds value to N'Zoth. Also, you don't always get one or the other by that time and this gives you 2 options which adds to the consistency that you have a value 10 drop to swing the board.
Edit* I'll also add that Freeze Mage has no 3, 4, 5, or 6 drops an is still a top 5 competitive deck. You don't need the tempo if you can out value an opponent. This deck has 4 board clears, 4 AOEs, 4 taunts, and 3 cards that mitigate damage as well as 2 of the best heals in the game. Not to say it's perfect, I'm no pro, but I can say it has performed admirably so far.
