Budget Lich King Warrior deck that actually works!

Deck based on 2hipz's deck posted on reddit, I only made it cheaper and more effective by adding 2x Inner Rage instead of 1x Brawl and 1x Bloodmage Thalnos. Original instructions updated according to my changes:

Key cards: 2x Obsidian Destroyers 1x Brawl 1x Scaled Nightmare 2x Voodoo Doctors 2x Earthern Ring Farseers. Fill the rest of your deck with cheap draw cards eg. Coldlight, Novice, Acolyte.

Mulligan: Keep Brawl, Obsidian Destroyers, discard all heal cards, and keep draw cards. Inner Rage is also a good keep, see Step 5.

Step 1. Draw like a mad man find the key cards listed above

Step 2. Survive till Frostmourne. Brawl on Frostmourne phase. There should be 1 trapped soul remaining

Step 3. Play the first Obsidian Destroyer. LK will trade the trapped soul into the 1/1 and LK will smack the Destroyer, Destroyer is now a 7/2. Trapped Soul is now 2/5

Step 4. Play the second Obsidian Destroyer. LK will trade into both 1/1 taunts. Trapped soul is now 2/4. This gives you 4 turns to ramp Scaled Nightmare but it's not enough. This is where the heals come in.

Step 5. Play Scaled Nightmare. Heal 2/4 Trapped soul with Voodoo Doctor. Trapped soul is now 2/6. If you got it in hand, play Inner Rage on Scaled Nightmare to gain extra tempo. This can be vital if no heal cards drawn in time.

Step 6. This gives your Scaled nightmare 6 turns to ramp its damage. 8 > 16 > 32 > 64 > 128 > 256... Kill 2/1 Trapped soul, smash LK. GG

Note: Although it does sound tedious, with mass draw there is absolutely 0 RNG involved when it comes to having certain cards. All you need to do is survive till Frostmourne phase (Turn 7)

PROS:

  • Deck is consistent:
    No way to get beaten by the Lich King when you are all set up!

  • Almost fully Standard deck list:
    Only 80 dust (2x Obsidian Destroyer) needed to craft it for Standard players like me who dusted all their wild sets long ago.

  • Really low cost:
    Only two epics (1x Scaled Nightmare and 1x Brawl) and two rares (2x Coldlight Oracle) needed!

 

CONS:

Might take a little time to set up a working hand.

 

SUBS:

Adding another copy of Scaled Nightmare and Brawl might help getting the key cards sooner.

 

PROOF:

Scaled Nightmare with 256 damage is piece of cake, see screenshot of my victory after a couple of tries with this deck.

(Playing on Android, don't judge me...)
