I've seen some great threads about other potential archetypes but haven't seen any Deathrattle conversation around Mechanical Whelp.

Pros- Lots of activators in Hunter. Meatwagon + Fireworks Tech could bring the Whelp out depending on how carefully we groom our minion pool. We have a few ways to break open the Whelp (Shaw, Goblin Prank, Cube, Mossy Horror, etc)

Cons- Potentially too slow- 6 drop might not reliably do much when it comes out. More expensive to combo with.

Deck possibilities:

Deathrattle focused deck similar to current Egg/Cube decks

Mech focused deck with a few key Deathrattles (at least Spider Bomb & Whelp), Fireworks Tech, Play Dead and maybe Cube?

Questions:

1. Does Secret plan synergize better with Meatwagon?

2. If we don't use Meatwagon what is the alternative to help us more consistently find Whelp/Deathrattle? Oozeling? Stitched Trackers?

3. Early game with Spiderbombs/Venomizers and maybe another cheap Mech or two could be pretty potent as a stall 'mech'anism- good enough to give us time to combo?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I don't think that Meatwagon would work with Fireworks Tech since it says a minion with less attack, not equal.

However, I do think that Seeping Oozeling could be cool with it.

Good catch!  Shows how much i've played with Meatwagon...lol.  So unless we use a solid base of Magnetic minions this approach probably won't work.  Still think that a Whelp deck could work with the other tools we have available, though.

another big problem with Mechanical Whelp is that it can be stolen by Cabal Shadow Priest  making it a huge risk to play against priest

 Do you encounter Cabal Shadow Priest a lot? At least personally, I haven't seen them in a while. Granted, I haven't played much in the last month, so maybe that has changed.

It just depends how fast the meta is. If half your opponents are killing you by turn 6 then no. If we get a slow meta then yeah it could work. I really doubt thats what we're going to get though.

Love the points!  Lets compare notes on best Deathrattle decks as we go.  Also loving current Deathrattle synergies and Cubes!
