Hearthpwn

The new expansion has given us a brand new bounty of shelled snappers, ready to grace our screens with their glorious scales. If you wish to see the insightful commentary and stellar strategy of the old version of this deck, feel free to check out the spoiler below.

Otherwise - onward, to a new, fantastic future filled with terrific terrapins!

As always, this guide will give you an in-depth look at each card in the deck, detailing exactly why it was included so you know that you're getting value for your money.

Minions

Tortollan Forager - First-time foragers will find this card difficult to use at first, often getting useless cards like Amani War Bear or The Lich King. Not to worry though - with a bit of patience, you'll soon figure out how to get Tortollan Primalist every time.

Eggnapper - Eggs need their rest too! Otherwise they'll never grow up into big strong Tortollans!*

*Not all eggs will hatch into Tortollans, according to reports

Ornery Tortoise - While hostile at first, this poor fellow is only upset that he's been labelled a Tortoise as opposed to the superior Turtle. Not to worry - we accept all Testudines here, so he'll quickly calm down.

Stonehill Defender - Another incredibly skill-testing card, proving just how deep a game Hearthstone is. He too will offer you trap cards like The Lich King, but don't worry - you'll have 3 options, so it's much easier to correctly get a Turtle from him.

Oasis Snapjaw - The Original Snapster. A Beast among his peers, he is glad to welcome the newest beastly addition to the Turtle family with open... umm... jaw?

Shellshifter - This master of disguise can infiltrate the ranks of the dinosaurs, learning their plans so she can relay them back to her brethren at a later date. A fantastic pick-up for the complex stealth missions later on in Hearthstone's Story Mode.

Spiritsinger Umbra - One might question the wisdom in bringing Umbra along to a deck with so few Deathrattles - and you'd be right to! Unfortunately, she kind of just... won't leave. Try and get her to wake up the Eggnappers or something.

Travelling Healer - WANTED: Dalaran Law Enforcement are offering 100 Gold to any adventurer with information regarding illegal herbal remedies. 

Elise the Trailblazer - Hold your fire! She comes bearing gifts! Her mysterious ""card pack"" can gift us with much needed reinforcements of the shelled variety.

Snapjaw Shellfighter - Listen, I told you guys. Duct-taping Turtles to your arms is just good strategy. I didn't expect it to be a defensive strategy, but nobody can ever be 100% right.

Tortollan Primalist - A devout follower of the one true Yogg, this guy is all you need to win games. I don't even need to say anything else, you all know this guy's the best card in the game.

Spells

Earthen Scales - Sometimes you just need a bit of me-time, which is why including a nice mud bath for your Turtles is essential.

Mark of the Wild - Power yourself up with the new-and-improved Mark of the Wild™. Our brand new Rotation™ technology has powered it up with fantastic Turtle deities, including Shifter Zerus, Mal'Ganis and of course, our lord and saviour Yogg-Saron, Hope's End. Due to conversion costs, you may see a slight downgrade in the buff you receive compared to these cards, but the distilled Turtle essence is still there in every mana crystal.

Mark of the Wild™ - If Everything's Broken, Nothing Is.

Blessing of the Ancients - Don't take this Blessing for granted, you can only get it like, 80 times in one game.

Bite - A Snapple a day keeps the Meta away!

Swipe - Ask Snapjaw Shellfighter for tips on how best to attach your Turtles for a more effective swipe.

A perfectly updated deck ready to crush your opponents at any rank, provided they too are running this exact deck. After all, it's only fair if everyone is playing the exact same deck - we wouldn't want you beating them too badly!
