HI! Back again with a new deck! Based on my Triple Six Silence deck this deck actually just has 2 new card additions: Kabal Songstealer. This equals out the deck with eight silencing cards with: 2 Silence, 2 Purify, 2 Wailing Soul, 2 Kabal Songstealer.
It is very much a gimmick deck based off the silencing cards and cards that can't attack or have a opponent benefiting deathrattle. Zombie Chow, Ancient Watch, Barnes, Ragnaros and Faceless Shambler are the stars of this concept.
For those of you who don't know, you can silence the card that Barnes brings out which brings it back to its regular stats. If you have Silence in your hand you are almost completely guaranteed a decent card, especially if it is Eerie Statue.
Ragnaros is a fun ender because you can silence him the 2nd turn and hit face. Incredibly convenient card to have in this deck.
There are buff cards, which is pretty contradictory but so far I haven't had much conflict with them. It is really good when you can silence Eerie Statue, buff it and then Faceless Shambler it.
There isn't a ton of hard removal right now with the release of Gadgetzan so it is a good deck to work your way to the top. I keep playing around with taunt in this deck to help beat out all the aggro decks... Pirate Warrior I am talking about you! I feel that Excavated Evil is better than Holy Nova in most cases since most of the cards will outlive Excavated Evil! But, that extra healing is nice too. It is a flip flop sitaution on that.
Feel free to write me in the comments section! I am making minor changes here and there to make it the best gimmick deck I have ever made :) Hope you have fun taking people off guard!
What about Fel Reaver ? With all numerous silences in the deck, I really think this card is worth it. I made my personal list which I think works better, at least for me ;)
And I have to say that the combo : Herald Volazj + Wailing Soul is hilarious !
I love it. I did think about Fel Reaver but axed it just in case I never had a silence. I do like the addition of Herald Volazj, especially if you can play Wailing Soul that same turn. I will have to try this version out!
HA I just read the combo part - yes hilarious! Thaurrisan may be a good addition to the deck too.
Replacement for Vol'jin? Should I craft it?
You don't need to craft Vol'jin. I put him in the deck more recently because it helped me out with tempo. A mid-game card would be useful even though I replaced one of the Power Word: Shield with Vol'jin! As someone shared above, they use Fel Reaver, which I think would be a great addition!
(Sorry this is not a great reply - at work - let me look when I get back home :D)
Fantastic deck, thanks man - really good fun and surprisingly effective! Biggest problem has been running out of cards on longer games. Completely murders Mage - haven't lost to a single one, even Reno. Pretty great against the agro decks too.
Thank you!! I had fun with a Silence Druid deck a while ago and once Karazhan came out with Purify it made it so easy to come up with this deck! I always find that gimmick decks are the most fun since they are unexpected. Card draw can be an issue, especially if it ends up being a long game with a Jade deck. I did have another Power Word: Shield in there but swapped it out for Vol'jin. It's constantly changing.
Happy you are having fun with it :) Let me know if you make any changes!
I'm really keen to put Herald in there - more because he's been sitting in my collection unused forever! Any idea who I should cut?
Barnes is almost useless here. Besides Ragnaros the Firelord and Loot Hoarder, everything is just plain 1/1 or worse (Eerie Statue, Zombie Chow..)
Of course I know it. But you have to play a silence card to silence the zombie after Barnes, which is unlikely to happen.
The good thing is that Silence is 0 mana! I am still periodically making changes to the deck but Barnes has done me really well, especially when he pulls out Eerie Statue.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for changes!
I have used Barnes to great effect on multiple occasions comboed with silence - he's a brilliant inclusion.
Looks fun I'll try it out. At Rank 15 Wild right now.
I assume that it is just as good at 15. A lot of people don't expect it, which makes it really fun!
