Hearthpwn

When I've saw Nighmare Amalgam, the first idea that was come in my mind is a Menagerie deck with Murlocs, Dragons and Beasts. I've found Druid the best class for this decktype.

I'm came up with this deck. It's a 9-11 so far in rank 9-8.

Is there any way to make this deck better, or it's just a dead idea? I know this isn't gonna' be a Tier 1, 2, or even 3 deck, I just want to improve it to at least to a 55% winrate deck. It feels pretty fun to play, to find the synergies between the cards.

I've tried to pull it to be a little more aggro-ish, then a little more control-ish, but I found that the best option is tempo. The early game is Murloc, mid-game is Beast and late game is Dragon.

Thoughts? Ideas?

 (Sorry for the English, I've tried my best)

Hello!

I have tried to make curator decks work for a lot of different classes, paladin being my personal favorite, and this looks like a decent list so far.  

What I've found:

The Murloc theme often isn't worth focusing on.  I would personally recommend getting rid of the murloc synergy cards in favor of some just generally good murlocs (coldlight oracle, bilefin tidehunter, etc).

I would also like to suggest focusing more on the beasts, because Menagerie Warden is a massive tempo swing if you can pull it off, and there are some other beast synergy cards already fit into druid (Mark of ysarraj or however you spell it, Wildwalker, etc.)

However, I haven't tried the version with the nightmare amalgams yet so I don't know how much that helps you with the synergies.

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

It's hard to make a deck like this work. Especially when you don't know what you're looking for.

I made this deck a while back:

It's obviously different to your deck in terms of theme as it relies heavily on transform and beast minions. It does run curator though. It juts tries to be minimalistic about how it's done. Please feel free to try out my version (a reader said he achieved a 95% winrate across 13 games).

Alternatively shoot me a private message and tell me exactly what issues you're having with your list and I'll see what i can do to help! :)

Take care.

I don't see why it wouldn't, it's literally all three of the things Curator can draw.

(Maybe I misunderstood your question,) when you play Curator it's randomly picks Nightmare Amalgam as a Beast, Murloc or Dragon, then you draw two more cards from the two remaining type.

I'm run out of dust at the moment, this deck needs more time to being improved.

The curator draws the cards in order of how iy is worded. I would add Chillmaw and Ysera and get rid of a few murlocs and the gentle megasaur

EDIT it is actually random.

As much as I love the idea and the deck design, this kind of deck is quite weak to be competitive compared to other decks in the format.

I think a nice change would be to make this into a Dragon + Beast type menagerie deck with some murlocs.  I might be wrong or my opinion might be highly judged, but its just how I think Curator decks work (from my experience).

Out of interest, did you not find Hunter to work better than Druid for a menagerie build? There's already some Dragon support with the Carrion Drake and Emeriss, and Beasts are as natural to Hunter as they are to Druid. This is the deck I've been playing around with. Definitely needs refining, but it's working ok at the moment.

Druid of the Fang anyone?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll try the Hunter version, bit I have to make it a little more budget.
