Hearthpwn

Hi all,

Back with another challenge this season called "Plebstone" with the following rules:

*Only basic/common cards allowed

*NO ADVENTURES (exception for Firelands Portal since it is from the Prologue to Karazhan which is FREE to all players!)

The goal is to design some decks that a fresh player can craft within a couple days of starting Hearthstone. The hope is that these will be high enough quality to reach rank 5 at least, but this will have to be play-tested more extensively to see if they can compete with the tier 1 meta decks.

Strategy

Like most of the Plebstone decks, this one will mostly be fighting for tempo and board control. That means you want to mulligan to fill out the curve and get that 1-2-3 drop start. Some cards are much stronger when you have something on the board like Cobalt Scalebane and Bonemare, so plan those turns out carefully. Check out the example videos to get a better feel of how the deck plays out and some of the thought process behind the turns.

Card Substitutions

This question will always be asked about "upgrading" these Plebstone or F2P decks. The most expensive versions will probably look similar to other tempo/secret mage decks on the site, but I will go over some midrange options and cards to consider.

Kabal Courier - great F2P discover card

Counterspell - helps with the secret package to diversify

Medivh's Valet - great tempo card with enough secrets in the deck

Kirin Tor Mage - great battlecry effect

Kabal Crystal Runner - good for decks with 3-4 secrets
