Hello! My name is Alex (Smokinace) from Germany. As I reached standard rank 1 Legend this season I decided to improve my deckbuilding in Wild mode. After putting a lot of time in adjusting the deck to the meta I basically winstreaked from rank 13 to legend (Rank12) in 1 day, As this happened I decided to share my first deck with you guys to get some feedback about the deck and find out how it works out for other players.
This deck aims to win by controlling the early game, dropping on curve minions in midgame and finishing the opponent with the amazing Call of the Wild and nZoth which in most cases just wins the game instantly. It is really important to use your mana efficient with this deck because if used wrong it is possible you run out of cards.
Tech decisions:
Eater of Secrets is a card which makes unfavourite matchups against freeze mage winnable but also makes it even more easy for you to beat other hunters and of course secret Paladin which in my experience is an easy win. It can be replaced by Kezan Mystic but Eater of secrets would sure be my first choice.
Doomsayer is a strong card against aggro but also control as it makes you a clear board a lot of the times to drop your sticky minions like shredder or highmane and get a huge lead on the board. If you dont have it or like it it can be replaced by Zombie Chow or Explosive trap.
For questions and feedback feel free to message me in hearthstone: smokinace and hashtag 2347 :)
Good Luck!
Edit:
I was asked how to play the deck so I decided to do a little mulligan guide for you. The most relevant cards are named first.
Shaman: Doomsayer, Animal Companion, Mad Scientist, Haunted Creeper, Quick Shot, King's Elekk, Eaglehorn Bow
Mage: Animal Companion, Haunted Creeper, Mad Scientist,Doomsayer(weak against freeze strong against tempo), King's Elekk, Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow
Paladin: Doomsayer, Haunted Creeper, Animal Companion, Mad Scientist, Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow, King's Elekk, Unleash the Hounds, (Eater of secrets to have it turn 6 Against secret pala)
Warrior: Animal Companion, Mad Scientist, Haunted Creeper, Eaglehorn Bow, King's Elekk, Piloted Shredder (when having sth in hand already to secure early game),
Hunter: Animal Companion, Mad Scientist, King's Elekk, Doomsayer, Eaglehorn Bow, Haunted Creeper, Quick Shot
Warlock: Doomsayer, Haunted Creeper, Mad Scientist, Animal Companion, Quick Shot, King's Elekk, Unleash the Hounds, Eaglehorn Bow
Priest: Animal Companion, Mad Scientist, Haunted Creeper, King's Elekk, Quick shot, Eaglehorn Bow, Piloted Shredder
Druid: Mad Scientist, Haunted Creeper, Animal Companion, King's Elekk, Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow
Rogue: Haunted Creeper, Mad Scientist, Animal Companion, King's Elekk, Eaglehorn Bow, Doomsayer, Quick shot
Always keep in mind what direct damage your opponent could have when playing doomsayer, because you usually don't want it to be cleared.
Another really important thing is to keep Eater of Secrets against secret paladin until they play Dr. 6. Against Freeze Mage it is also often nice to keep to destroy his block when it is totally unexpected.
If you guys are interested I'll write a detailed guide for this deck.
cheers:)
As it seems a los of you guys struggle against Secret Paladin. Maybe i will one day do a Video playing against it. The mulligan is very important!
Thank you for the deck. I just started the first games with it and it goes well.
Did you use a hunter to reach rank 1 Legend on EU (standard format ofc) ?
No i used Jackiechans wisp druid:)
Can I replace huhuran with sylvannas??
Yes but i would prefer 2nd belcher in this meta
What do you think about taking out 1x Doomsayer and 1x Haunted Creeper. And put in 1x more Sludge Belcher, and 1x Explosive Trap ?
Depends on what you are facing. The Deck was adjusted to my meta
If thats true i suggest to delete the game
what was your winrate vs CW and cheese(freeze) mage?
CW is good for me. Freeze Mage only seems winnable with unecpected eater of secrets when Alex already played.
Try with a Second king's Elekk and one Zombie chow:)
I won my first 4 at rank 5, swapped out the creepers for an additional kings elekk and sludge
Seems reasonable! Haunted creeper is just in this Deck as an additional Strong Card against Aggro. Glad it works out for you!
Why no hunters mark or houndmaster?
I ran both of those Cards in the beginning, but in my opinion houndmaster is hard to activate and hunter's mark was useless for me as well. You could think about adding a deadly shot, but hunters Mark is not a option in this deck in my opinion.
Awesome deck, I made a video for it: Gameplay on Ranked
Dunno if the Eater is that necessary, I played around 10 games now and never needed to play him (didn`t see a Secret pala or freeze mage though)
Youtube-Player:
Thanks a lot for that I will watch the video as soon as I have a good connection:)
yeah you are right that the keeper is replaceable, but in top ranks you face a lot other hunters, Paladins and mages, that's why I decided to add it and it worked out for me. Before that I was running a houndmaster but eater often wins you the more difficult matchups.you can also put in kezan for its better stats against non secret decks.
Yeah sure, I just started playing wild yesterday after playing std for the last month so I`m not sure how the meta is on the higher ranks. Hitting a winning streak with your deck and now I`m sitting at rank 12.
I am also a standard player normally;) While watching the video I noticed you are sometimes afraid of playing Doomsayer when they can deal with it. But keep in mind that even if they can deal with it it is in most cases still a 2 mana ice barrier! sometimes it just buys you a turn.
Right, I always look for some kills with doomsayer^^
Eater brought me some wins after I posted the last time so he will stays in the deck for now!
