- Mulligan for a 1-cost minion. If you have one, mulligan the rest for 1-cost buffs.
- Play a 1-cost minion on turn 1, then the quest on turn 2.
- You want to play Galvadon on turn 5, or as soon as possible.
- Use Zola the Gorgon on Galvadon (or other big minions)
- You can use Forbidden Healing on your minions for zero mana as a quest activator.
This deck sucks. If you don't think so, you haven't loaded up Primalfin Champion or Immortal Prelate with a tons of enchantments and have it owned by a silence. It's too SLOW! 0/10
Sorry you had a bad game! Realize that Prelate and Primalfin are icing on the cake but not win conditions. It feels bad to have a large lad get silenced or bounced, but that just means they are less likely to silence a better minion like Sunsorrow or Galvadon. Knowing your matchups is improtant too; don't go all in vs rogue or priest and expect them not to have SOME kind of answer. The more you play the deck, the more you'll learn. It's definitely not an easy deck to understand at first :)
Prince Liam isn't even good in this deck
It is, remove useless 1 mana minions on late game
Is there any replacement for the runic egg ?
I'd try Wax Elemental or Argent Squire. You want a 1 drop that can survive.
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you.
This deck is super fun and i enjoy playing it.
I also have a question, how ok is Drygulch Jailor for this deck?
I've swapped it in myself and found it ok if i really need a Silver Hand Recruit to buff on.
That's a neat idea, especially for the last ditch 1-cost body. I don't like how slow Drygulch Jailor is, 2-cost and a wait to have 1-cost bodies. I like just having 1-cost bodies up front.
I never thought of Zola the Gorgon, Arcane Anomaly or Small-Time recruits, I'm gonna toy with that.
One thing that I'm surprised you haven't brought up are eggs. Runic Egg and Devilsaur Egg are fantastic mines that opponents are usually left at an impasse to deal with. They either waste offensive time attacking them and give you a draw/massive minion respectively, or they leave a minion on the board giving you free buff targets.
Also considerable is Wickerflame Burnbristle, but honestly he's just been so-so for me, as early game I don't need the healing and late game the healing he provides is usually too little too late.
I'm gonna play with a variant on this (subbing some of the cheaper buffs for eggs and Tarim) and see how it goes.
I think Devilsaur Egg is just a tad too slow, but Runic Egg is definitely worth including. May even be better than Meanstreet Marshal. Or maybe I'll include it in addition to Meanstreet Marshal. I'll try it out.
deck looks pretty cool. already have a lot of the cards for it as well.
I may change a few of the older cards I need to craft, doubt i'll craft smalltime recruits and the marshall epic card. I know what to do in regards to smalltime recruits, but anything you'd suggest in place of marshall, please?
The Meanstreet Marshal is good for the draw and the buff body. Either Worgen Infiltrator or Runic Egg.
This is brilliant. Thanks. Best Galvadon deck I've come accross. Zola-ing a galvadon brings me great joy. Climbed a little but plateued and now holding steady at rank 13.
How much milage do you get out of your Voraxx though? I have about 5k of dust just sitting there and I'm tempted to craft it. (just memes missing from my collection anyway).
Im using Bolvar instead as there's so many divine sheilds kicking about. So he's usually a 7/7 after his bubble is popped. If you think I'll get more value from voraax then I'll go for it...
Usually The Voraxx only comes into play near the end late game, by pairing him with a Spikeridged Steed. I'm usually not wanting to play a minion just to have one, lots of more important cards to be playing in the early game. Loads of fun though. Not a viable card outside of this deck so craft if you'd like. If you like Bolvar, Fireblood I would just keep him.
How good is Meanstreet Marshal? I don't want to spend the dust since it is rotating soon and isn't really used in other decks.
Quite good. And the draw is important so that you dont run out of steam. But, he's not a good card in other decks. You can try replacing him with Worgen Infiltrator or Runic Egg before you commit to the craft.
I SOOOOOOOOOO want this deck to work. Anybody have luck with it?
I can answer that. It "works", like the deck achieves it's goal, but it is definitely not useful past rank 15. I'll keep working on this deck, but it's currently more fun than legend viable.
replacement for Small-time Recruit?
Divine Favor works well also.
