Tons of fun with this deck. I've cruised from Rank 18 to 5 and I'm still going.
There are 3 major win conditions.
1. When you go VTH, drop those giants, 2 copies at a time. Also great to vanish back into hand if their board is full (Jade Druids) and then drop 2-3 giants right back down after. Huge tempo swing and often enough.
2. After VTH, you can drop 2 Sherazins which can be a constant pain for opponent. Shadowcast for an extra 1-2 more which will win you most fatigue matches.
3. After VTH, Shadowcast your Shadowcast with its copy for unlimited and low cost Shadowcasters the rest of the game. Huge for getting extra Sherazins, Vilespine Slayers and especially Maly's!
Street Tricksters are critical for a high petal deck. They are super sticky and double/triple your petal power. They also destroy early aggro since they don't leave the board and help to more easily clear the board when coupled with FoK and petals. When they realize this, Aggro will often waste their attacks killing a 0/7 instead of going for face saving your ass. I always keep them on mulligan and drop them asap. They are the sole reason your petals keep you alive until Maly or giants are ready.
Petals are also great for Auctioner, Sherazin, and finishing with Malygos.
Activate Valeera the Hollow ASAP to double down on all of your cards.
I tried Questing Adventurer but it's way to hit or miss. Better to focus on spell damage and petals to get great board clear and enough control for late game survival. Petals + extra spell damage are awesome against early aggro too.
And if Maly doesn't work out, doubling those arcane giants will do it. Wait to play them when you have VTH. If VTH comes late game, then you can instantly drop a copy of them when you activate her. Or multiply your Sherazins.
Vanish is really working out nicely. Might even consider a second one instead of Mimic Pods. Vanish is the ultimate counter to a heavy Jade Druid board, Evolve Shaman, and that new big minion Priest deck, and for the turn after playing VTH. Or just to bounce back your battlecries like the Vilespine Slayers and giants so you can multiply them again.
Shadowstep is great for Vilespine slayers, auctioneer or to bring Maly back into your hand to use as a 7 drop on the next turn with 3 petals for TKO to avoid removal.
Some cards I've tried in this deck but did NOT really work out were Hallucination (too RNG), Swashburgler and Patches (petals are better), Questing Adventurer (too hit or miss), Lilian Voss (fun RNG but works too much against Maly), Burgly Bully (could be perfect for auctioneer and Maly but a little too slow). Shadowblade doesn't go well with the other cards or deck style.
Other possible adds I've tried that HAVE been working well are Alex to either heal yourself, but usually it's a great drop to follow a 2 giant board drop when your opponent is feeling confident with 30 health. Alex has won me many games but it can clunk your hand some games too.
I haven't tried Yogg yet although it seems to make sense with all the spells. I worry mostly about overdrawing cards though, and I'd rather an extra Vanish or Maly+Prep+FoK for board clear.
Leeroy can be great too for a double Leeroy VTH burst.
Have fun with this deck and let me know if you have any adds.
I have had soooo much fun with this deck. Sure, it may not be a top tier deck but man is it fun! My most recent game was against Priest, he was at 30 health and I was at 3. He had built a decent board and was about ready to kill me, but then with Maly on the board I returned a Shadowcaster with a Xaril poison, played the caster on Maly, played the copy Maly, played a Lasher, returned the Lasher with another Xaril poison, played it again. Here's the kicker though, I'd already gone Shadow Valeera, so now I had 3 petals and 3 mana crystals left. Well, 33 damage to the face and I won! Couldn't believe it! Gotta say thank you to brentus33, this deck is awesome!
Yes!! That's what Hearthstone is all about!
Too combo dependant. Everything is conditional.. Looks fun but no so much when you keep waiting for your synergies to come and they never do.
EDIT: Well, that was a bad 1st impression. Just adapted it to Wild (+Emperor Thaurisan, + SI7, - Mimic Pod, - 1 Vilespine) and having some fun with it. Gratz for the deck
Yeah Emperor definitely takes it over the top in Wild.
What rank are you playing this on Standard? I've recently dropped the Shadowcaster (which was too clunky and combo dependent for sure) for Alex. I spend most of the game playing control with the petals. Then when I go DK, I drop a copy of 2 giants then Alex on the next turn for the win. Alex also puts me in Maly range too. Give it a try if you find your too far behind for a swift kill mid-late game.
Loving this deck!!!
Special Note Against Aggro: DO NOT save your petals for Maly! Get those Street Tricksters down asap and then use your petal and FoK ammo to knock out the early aggro threat. You've got plenty of petals in this deck to restock later for Maly.
You can also sub out Xaril for SI-7 for more anti-aggro help.
Shadowcaster is very slow against agro decks. What do you think about swap her to Doomsayer ?
I don't really like Doomsayer in this deck because it counters trying to stick the Street Tricksters (which tend to stick well). Might consider swapping with SI-7.
i hate to bring it to you, but you will never ever survive in the current meta till malygos winning conditions
Then feel free to swap Maly with Leeroy. And swap a razor volley with Cold Blood.
Swap out Xaril with an SI-7. If you don't have Sherazin, then drop him and Shadowcaster and replace with Leeroy and Cold Blood. Might even consider dropping one of the Razorpetal Vollies then too and add another SI-7. Alex works well in this deck as well for a burst before Leeroy, Giants, or Maly.
There's no set magic configuration. Lots of options. One of the main differences in this deck is coupling the petals with Street Tricksters to wipe out aggro using petals and FoK as board clears pretty easily. How you TKO from there, you've got many options.
I am calling bullshit on that climb. The meta is full of agro again, I have played about 10 matches at rank 15 and haven't got to turn 9 once.
"Aggro Meta" they printed 9 playable death knight control cards, druid is the most represented deck and you still think its an aggro meta
Losing because your rank 15 doesn't mean its an aggro meta
I'm playing another variation of this deck now that includes 1-2 Shadowcasters.
After going DK, you can fill the board with Shadowcasters, 3-4 Sherazins or additional Maly's.
I think the high petals + Sherazin + Maly really go well together. Giants and Shadowcasters take it over the top with 4 win conditions.
It's a pretty different deck without Sherazin because he's constantly a target because he's reviving just about every turn. However, if you don't have him, I would try putting in a Leeroy who can give you a solid burst option besides Maly. Alex has also been doing very well in this deck to either give you a solid heal or drop your opponent to a quick 15 for a Maly finisher the following turn.
