UPDATE! HOLY MOLEY 150 UPVOTES! Wasn't expecting this for my first deck! I wanna say thanks to everyone who understands this is a budget deck and its made so newbie players can have a fun time climbing the ranks, and get to ranks without having to spend money! Thanks hearthpwn for the second deck mention! http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/3286-popular-hearthpwn-standard-and-wild-decks-of-the
This got me rank 20-10 in 1-2 days, the current meta at those ranks can't deal with a good hand or a taunted buffer that can make your deck go out of control, Stonehill Defender can get you all the broken pally legionaries, and he can get you lich king now as well as chain gang.
Possible Changes and modifications I ran for the longest time:
I recently added Crazed Alchemist to counter mage and priests doomsayer (other decks are running it too) and it can make scarab taunts into 5/1 which can be killed with a silverhand,
I used to run two Equality but it hurts your buffed minions and generally there aren't times you want to sacrifice tempo.
Possible Swaps, -1 Rallying Blade or Alchemist +1 Spikeridged Steed or +1 Acolyte of Pain (I stopped running double steed because it harms the deck, you want more buff targets and rallying blade is similar, acolyte can get you some good draws, a 4/6 acolyte makes your opponents pull their hair out)
-2 Hydrologist and +2 Equality or Spike (if up against too much control)
If you feel your board is being wiped alot, replace a hydroligist with a Skelemancer, this thing + buffs or spike or bonemare = cancer for your opponent
+10 upvotes and i'll write mulligan and strategy
UPDATE: 10 Updoots completed. Guide being written.
GUIDE:
Mulligan: Stick to low cost minions (1-3 cost), keep all buffs, get rid of spells or weapons (keep sword if you have divine shield targets or if youre up against warrior, mage, or priest) if you have a buff card in hand as you want the max buff targets!
Gameplay: Buff minions to gain attack and health, play them when you get the most effect, drop a argent protector for tempo if needed. Do not waste chillblade champion unless needed, always wait for a buff! Try to get a taunt down before you drop enforcer, that ensures you get the max amount of buffs, keep enforcer alive as long as possible, he can make your deck go wild!
Late Game: If your opponent has 20 hp, you have nothing in your hand, no tirion from the turtle, or no super buffed minions, just concede and go to the next game, don't waste time, otherwise, try to go for the best trades!
THANKS FOR THE MENTION HEARTHPWN! http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/3271-playing-hearthstone-on-a-budget-heres-our-top
Wanna say RIP and rest well my sweet deck. I hope it helped many budget players have fun, but alas, gadzetzan rotated out.
It was the first deck that made me love hearthstone, it was the first deck with which I hit rank 10 coming from months of rank 20 seasons, just thank u Kaj, it still rocks in wild btw!
Loving it so far but I have a hard times agianst magical/secret Mage... any advise? (dont have ONiK addon and to much dust...)
Love the deck Kaja, it is main deck for 2 weeks! Any advise for any upgrades on this deck (without pally legendaries).
Purpose of alchemist?
to counter Crypt Lord and Spreading Plague I assume
...and Doomsayer too.
Thanks for the deck OP - had to tweak a bit to match my collection but still lots of fun!
Hi
What update will could do to move this deck from budget status and get more performance ?
Thanks.
I played around 50 matches decent win-rate, and also a fun deck. The only down side is that the strategy is so straight forward.
Would Lorewalker Cho help? Because deck has few spells so it brings a bigger downside to the opposition.
If you have Lorewalker Cho, I implore you to use it in any handbuff deck with low spells. Even if he gets a single buff, he becomes a very irritating target for your opponent. I've won quite a few games off Lorewalker Cho alone, because either my opponents just don't realise his ability, don't think he's a threat, or are just too stupid to know otherwise and play many spells for me to use against them later.
I'd say with Jade Druid roaming the top ranks, adding Cho might be enough to stall an Ultimate Infestation or Spreading Plague for a turn or two.
All I'm saying is if you have Cho, try him. It might work, it might not. But most importantly, have fun with it.
ok thanks mate
If this is aggro wouldn't Leroy help it?
What about run 2 Vicious Fledgling and 2 Spellbreaker?
Suggestions?
