Hi guys! This is the first time I share one of my decks in Hearthpwn.
This list is not that innovative, I'm sure a bunch of people are already using something like this in ladder, but I saw that Kolento used a deck similar to the one I had built so I had to share it.
The best thing about the deck is that it counters Quest Rogue, and beats easily Elemental Shaman, Midrange Hunter, Warlock, Priest, Miracle Rogue and Quest Warrior. It has also worked pretty well for me against Jade Druid, Quest Mage and Pirate Warrior. The only archetype I've been getting rekt by is Aggro Hunter and sometimes Token Druid, as they flood the board very early and this deck doesn't run AoEs. As I'm not encountering many of these, I decided to not include Consecration and have 2 Golakkas against Rogue and Warrior, but feel free to change things up. I saw Kolento running Wickerflame, but I have Acolyte and it works well. You could even think of running a 2nd one and getting rid of a Hydrologist, but since I shut down a Deathwing thanks to her I haven't even thought of replacing it.
Mulligans and strategy are simple: try to keep handbuffs in your initial hand, and 3 drops such as Igneous Elemental, Tar Creeper and Acolyte are fine to keep too. Try to play on curve, and use your 1-cost elementals wisely to keep the synergies alive every turn. I like buffs to hit at least three minions unless I see that playing on curve is what is gonna make me win the game, so maybe not playing Smuggler's Run on turn 1 if you don't have a 2-drop in hand is fine against Midrange opponents, but I would recommend using it when playing against Aggro.
Let me know your thoughts on the deck and your suggestions and I hope you guys enjoy playing this list! Who knows, it might be a Tier 1 deck :)
Been playing this for a while and it was untill very recently still a deck you could climb the ladder with. But the last few days (Rank 15) I been loosing pretty much every game. Dunno what changed or if my brain just got cancer all of a sudden.
Maybe time for an upgrade? :)
Pretty good deck, replaced Tar Creeperx2 with Ragnaros, Lightlord and Wickerflame Burnbristle.
I usually get Ragnaros out of the Servants of Kalimos but nice replacements anyway :)
I got to rank 10 and I'm now trying different decks, but I'm sure I could at least reach rank 5
