This deck allowed me to climb to rank 5 easily in Wild. It'S built to win against secret paladins, aggro shamans, and zoolocks, but it's also very good against control decks (I don't think I've ever lost vs control warrior, and rarely against control priest, just be wary ofEntomb).
You have Deathlord, Dark Iron Skulker, Sludge Belcher to survive the early game against aggro, and you have Nerubian Egg (withAbusive Sergeant and Defender of Argus as activators) and Unearthed Raptor to put early pressure on slower decks. Abusive Sergeant are great to combo with SI:7 Agent or Eviscerate as well. One of the worst matchups for Raptor Rogue pre-nerf was Druid, but I don't think I've faced a single Druid in wild this season.
So this is basically the deck I used before WOG was released, but replaced 2 x Piloted Shredder with 2 x Deathlord to improve vs aggro shaman and zoo. And added N'Zoth, the Corruptor, which makes this deck really really good in the late game. N'Zoth is never a dead card by turn 10, it will always cast a least 3-4 other minions, some with taunt (Belchers, Deathlords), some very good against board clears (Eggs, Cairne Bloodhoof), maybe with a sprinkle of Boom Bots, and if you're playing vs control, perhaps an Anub'arak or two? If Anub'Arak is infinite value, I guess 3 of them (which has happened at least 2 times against control warriors and renolocks) are worth triple infinite?
I'm sure you can take it to Legend, but I didn't have the time! Thanks for reading.
Hi!
Seems a interesting deck, now I want to try it :)
Can you suggest me a replacement for Nexus-Champion Saraad???I think that some viable cards (mana cost/stats/deathrattle effect) can be, without any particular order:
Piloted Shredder
Corrupted Healbot
Mechanical Yeti
Anubisath Sentinel
Tomb Pillager
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
That card is probably an outlier in the deck, it doesn't have synergy with other cards, it's basically there to provide solutions in desperate times or to serve as an alluring target for Entomb so you can play Anub'arak safely. So either you find another non-deathrattle target for big spells, or you can go the deathrattle route. Previous versions of the deck used Piloted Shredder, so I don't think you can go wrong with it. I also like Tomb Pillager, the additional coin might be useful with all those big late-game minions.
