I see this subforum mostly silent (btw. where are all our BG specialists? bored to death? so many new things and still no one discusses)
So I decided to post some of my winning builds, enjoy!
"Gold Maker Build"
I was about to die so I had to improvise very hard. Fun build allowed by Elistra, Amal. always gets DS back and you always get your 4 golds/elementals to your hand. Note to say I killed everyone very fast so there was no cosmic scaling at all.
"George 'Taunts Kick Your Ass' The Fallen"
This was DS taunt build almost all the time pretty much. Got lucky golden Baron (0 mana spell T16? I guess) into Kangor and that was the last push. But I have to say DS taunts (Voidlord especially) hold very well whole game with 'endless' +3 from 4/5 (didn't find golden one though).
"Stolen Menagerie"
Just a standard menagerie build, right? Except this one was fully stolen with Tess. I really like Tess gameplay and I would never skip her. Such a joy for me. Here I just picked the best parts for my ZOO and killed everyone else with them. BGgasm :)
"Kill Yourself Or I'll Sting You - Build"
Yeah, full anti-cosmic build at its best. Everyone goes 1000/1000 whatever? Easy solution for you. Specifically this positioning was against 200+ Garr & Molten Rock elemental build. One DS refresh on Amalgams and they had no chance. I pick The Curator almost everytime these days, if there are at least Mechs in game, I like this slow building Amalgam from old days.
OK, this is not a cool build. This is the most high-roll shit I ever had. Sometimes you feel sorry for your opponents. On top of that I discovered George's hero power and got Argent Braggart from DM Prizes. As a bonus I accomplished the 40 dmg achievement against Ghost. One would say The Perfect Game!
I always wondered how well could perform Brann with actual Brann and this is the result. Got lucky early Brann from tripple and going menagerie was no-brainer. I sold the Brann before the final rounds though, there was also Baron for a while but I decided to put Lightfang in against the very last opponent (because of Zapp). note:This build wasn't carried by Annihilan Battlemaster (got sting all the time).
There's no perfect way to do it, but you are putting both your baron and Goldrinn at risk of getting cleaved with that setup. Elistra should be on the right side. After that, your call. Baron's more likely to die to a cleave, but if somebody happens to have a 25+ attack cleave then it completely kills your comp if the wolf goes down. Unlikely, though; I probably wouldn't play around that unless you're up against a left side buffer like Ragnaros or Al'Akir.
If you know your opponent doesn't have a cleave (because they don't have Mechs. Wildfire Elemental or Beasts - and anyway you have more or less bought all the Hydras;) then you don't have to worry about positioning from a defensive point of view. However since Elistra will absorb the first 4 attacks, unless your opponent has a mega-windfury guy, it makes more sense to put Goldrinn second so that your Hydras will potentially have the maximum buff when they get to attack. If your opponent has a mega-windfury minion that will take care of Elistra in one attack then the setup looks fine

Feel free to post any cool builds you've got...!
Nice builds...what is Baron Rivendare doing in your first build tho ?
Didn't manage to get more than 2 Barons after the stats were big enough. Otherwise pretty perfect board. Ice block can prolong games when there's 3-4 people left.
This absolutely beautiful monster of a comp that is borderline unbeatable (The ONLY thing I can think of is praying to RNGesus that your red whelps are actual gods.)
Edit: Added a "results" pic so people can see just how insanely huge stuff got. Mind every one that this is after these things have gotten to attack like 32 times in a row and already annihilated most of my opponent's board.

NOOB LUCK
7 AFK PLAYERS.
7 GOLDEN TIER 6 MINIONS
Congrats on the Curator win, he's hard to win with. The other shots have lamely OP hero.
Prior to the new patch, I was floating around 11 K MMR.
I like some of the changes, I like the extra decision point. Sneeds is less likely to crap out a self-defeating horror (the Beast, Shifter Zerus).
But somehow I find the compositions that win the game repetitive and uninteresting.
Divine Shield, poisonous, Elistra The Immortal.
There seems to be no room for fun or normal builds with Murlocs, Dragons, Beasts, Elementals or Demons and definitely not Pirates.
So now I just play for fun with a hero I haven't won with and if it starts going bad even early, I throw in the towel.
They added extra decision points, but somehow made same-trible synergy almost irrelevant.
Big dudes are worthless if they aren't divine shield and poisonous.
manz right screw the OP blud
"Double Brann Blud Build"
I always wondered how well could perform Brann with actual Brann and this is the result. Got lucky early Brann from tripple and going menagerie was no-brainer. I sold the Brann before the final rounds though, there was also Baron for a while but I decided to put Lightfang in against the very last opponent (because of Zapp). note: This build wasn't carried by Annihilan Battlemaster (got sting all the time).
Mimsy Were The Borogoves
I've started playing battlegrounds recently (after a long time just watching Zalae and Firebat) and this is one of my best final comps yet
By the way, is the order correct? I wasn't sure about how to position goldrinn, baron and elistra.
Also, second goldrinn vs third hidra?
There's no perfect way to do it, but you are putting both your baron and Goldrinn at risk of getting cleaved with that setup. Elistra should be on the right side. After that, your call. Baron's more likely to die to a cleave, but if somebody happens to have a 25+ attack cleave then it completely kills your comp if the wolf goes down.

Thank you both for the input! Looks like I have a lot to learn :)

Oh my god! Never seen crazy pirates like this. Anything close to this was only single pirate over 1000 hp and attack... You must have amazing APM.
How do you even get pirates to be that massive? Legit asking, I'm astonished
Just had one of my best Murlocs comp ever, at least since Megasaur was removed from BGs
