Step 1 : The Marsh Queen
Step 2 : Starving Buzzard
Step 3 : ???
Stat 4 : Profit!
The goal is to harass and to kill later on with Timber Wolf / Tundra Rhino / Carnassa's Brood, thanks to the draw given by Starving Buzzard with the low-cost Beasts. Other options are a huge Scavenging Hyena and the value given by Stampede.
A 10-mana combo can be : Tundra Rhino, one/two Timber Wolf, three/four Carnassa's Brood, for a total of 20 / 23 damages ! It can go higher with Raptor Patriarch and Crackling Razormaw.
There are 10 of these low-cost Beasts : Alleycat, Fiery Bat, Jeweled Macaw, Timber Wolf, Raptor Hatchling, Raptor Patriarch and Carnassa's Brood... In addition to these, the Fire Fly is here because it counts as two 1-mana cost minions thanks to its Battlecry. They can all be drawn by the Tol'vir Warden. making The Marsh Queen completion much more reliable.
This deck is Beast-based so Crackling Razormaw is very interesting and versatile. There is 71% of either getting Shrouding Mist, Liquid Membrane or Crackling Shield on a Starving Buzzard (even a Tundra Rhino) making it likely to survive until the next turn and thus allowing crazy plays. Moreover, there is 83% of getting Living Spores, Poison Spit, Volcanic Might or Flaming Claws on a low-mana minion to put pressure early on by up-trading. Furthermore, a sneaky lethal could also happen if Lightning Speed was given to the Queen Carnassa or a huge Scavenging Hyena ! Anyway, Rocky Carapace is a solid buff to keep the board pressure and Massive is useful against aggressive decks. Adapt is a really cool mechanic that is definitely viable.
3-mana drops are important because two 1-mana minions should be played on Turn 2 and the tempo is needed. Rat Pack and Animal Companion are solid beast drops that easily take the board, great on the curve with Houndmaster (especially against agressive decks). The former also is excellent with the Cult Master or even the Starving Buzzard thereafter.
Drawing cards is necessary since the hand is quickly empty with all the 1-mana minions needed to complete The Marsh Queen. That's why in addition to the Starving Buzzard, a Cult Master is in this deck. It can't allow sick combos with Carnassa's Brood without the Tundra Rhino but it does make use of the low-cost minions to achieve the quest faster, granting stability to the deck.
In addition, Stampede can quickly refill the hand and make a lot of value with these low-cost beasts, the Jeweled Macaw has a nice synergy with it giving a lot of options in mid/late game. This card is faster than a Starving Buzzard which can help in some match-ups.
Hunter's Mark is a tool thats can come in handy to answer to a huge minion or even a taunt. This deck has the tokens to make use of it.
Alternative : the Hungry Crab is an option since it's a 1-mana cost Beast if the Murloc Shaman exists in the future metagame, probably instead of Raptor Hatchling which isn't that significant. Also Ironbeak Owl can be better than Hunter's Mark depending of the metagame.
Maybe kill command or deadly shots instead of a knife juggler? I always feel like knife juggler is a good option until he's actually in my deck ha
I think if a 2-mana cost Elemental is revealed, we can get rid of all the Knife Juggler/Scavenging Hyena/Unleash the Hounds/Houndmaster part and add like Glacial Shard, Tar Creeper and Tol'vir Stoneshaper, to be better when The Marsh Queen isn't completed and against aggro decks.
probably an excellent option. I'm personally tired of the same old go to cards. Hunter seldom gets good replacements. That is besides highmanes. highmanes can never be replaced
And Quick Shot ? ;_;
Also Kill Command for burst.
Indeed there is many good cards that could enter this deck, but we only have 30 slots :(
I'd think Argent Squire would be great in this deck
Interesting list! It definitely looks like you're going for that Miracle/Control style list. I theorycrafted my own list also, however it's more on the Midrange side than Miracle/Control.
You only have 8 minions with a 1-mana cost and no Fire Fly, your Quest won't be done easily I think
True. I'll probably swap out Mistress of Mixtures for Fire Fly
The problem is that you have to draw the 7 1-cost minions first
You have to draw the 7 first 1-mana cost minions before, you never have enough drawing power (especially on decks where your hand is empty quickly). Starving Buzzard can be a great addition even when you have your Carnassa's Brood, to draw an insane number of times like a Miracle Rogue can do (more, actually).
