Here, sorry: http://hearthstoneplayers.com/ek0ps-savage-roar-token-druid-cenarius-variant/
Hi Giordy! Your deck has made my life wonderful, Thank you! Woot, getting close!
I snagged soooo badly at rnk 14 for some reason, played since season 1, nvr gotten past it. Then I started using this deck this season; after a rough week at 14 it all clicked and in the last two weeks I've climbed to HERE:
tad excited...
I swapped in Imp Master for a Harvest Golem for grins, and I'm working on crafting Thalnos. There have been so many times when I could have used his 1 mana buff ftw... le siiigh.
anyways, I've been really having a hard time with zoolock. I can usually win against everything else, especially Handlock and even Druid. I subbed in a starfall for Cenarius, as suggested in comments; this has helped. Then I played the same guy 5 in a row (!) at rank 3 and 4 this morning. Won 1 and lost 4. He suggested I use Weblord. What do you think of swapping him in for 1 Loot Hoarder?
Just went from rank 8 3 stars to rank 10 4 stars with this deck lately. Getting terrible match ups as of late... is it the changing meta, or bad luck? Last season I took the deck all the way up to rank 4... so I know it works.
I made a couple changes that have helped lately. The loot hoarders did absolutely nothing other than draw a card, so I replaced 2x loot hoarder with 1x Faerie Dragon and Nat Pagle. Instead of a 2nd force of nature - soul of the forest. Sounds crazy but even if you have just 2 or 3 minions on the board, making them all "sticky" means you can do a great turn 8 setup for your turn 9 FoN + Roar combo, having even more minions on the board.
I just put in an acidic swamp ooze...
Giordy. Question. Alot of your mulligan strats work well now but if you happen to get an innervate when should you keep it vs throwing it away?
Good job!!! Keep going :)
Where the locks zoo at all?
Why BGH vs TBK? Not sure which to choose
how do you play that without wild growth? Why not put it instead of Argent Squires?
Really love this deck!
I started playing it this season, I'm currently at around level 15 and encountering lots of aggro decks which I struggled to handle. I've since taken out one FoN, BGH and Cenarius and replaced them with 2 senjins and a claw. These changes seem to have helped me against aggro. Are these changes valid? Are there better changes I could make?
I personally wouldn't take out a FoN in a combo deck.
weak sauce against zoo.
I have a ~75% win ratio against zoo with this deck. I subbed in starfall for cenarius and bloodmage thalnos for one loot horder.
Yours are all valid points. If your comment gets at least 3 likes I will replace Loot Hoarder with Thalnos. I'm still not 100% sure about The Black Knight replacing Cenarius, but I will consider it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
Maybe it has to do with play style? I am getting high win percentage against hand lock. Zoo, on the other hand, is wiping me out turn 5 or 6 most times. I've replaced argent protector with Starfall. Can handle one big minion or a bunch of tiny ones... if I live to turn 5 to play it.
Yeah, Mirror is the worst matchup. If you keep encountering many druids, I'd suggest you swap either Cenarius or the Big Game Hunter for The Black Knight.
Interesting changes! Let me know how they work in the long run!
Nice deck, I personally use Argent Commanders over squires though. The squires are decent against zoo and great against aggro rogue, but poor against everything else. They just feel too weak and not rewarding enough for the card slot even if you get lucky enough to buff it with power of the wild, it's also a sad card to draw when you are in top deck mode. Commanders are just way too valuable.
I also use wild growths instead of loot hoarders, but I might try it. Though I would personally use 1x Loot Hoarder 1x Thalnos.
This deck needs early board presence, and argent squire is the best for that.
It combos perfectly with hero power / wrath / PotW / KotG / Swipe to keep tempo and board lead in the early game.
Using argent commanders and wild growth, your deck looks more like a midrange deck (which is also very good but the gameplay is different).
I also use thalnos instead of 1 loot hoarder (as well as BK instead of Cenarius).
