So here is the basic idea: Freeze mage with alarm-o-bot. heavy card draw with big minions and mountain giants. lots of board clears for aggro and enough big minions to outlast control deck removals.
please check it out! I think it has a lot of potential. I think any deck that works with Nat Pagle and Alarm-o-bot deserves a look! If this turns into the next meta buster please give me credit :D I'd love a shout out from a pro or something like that.
However a few normal questions: what rank are you? Have you tracked your winrate?
I am glad you are having a blast but I can't imagine this will be the next meta breaker. Gave you an upvote for making your own deck and trying out something different.
Thanks so much for looking! I’ll admit I was being a bit click baity with the meta busting stuff. I’m only playing in the high teens rank. I guess I was hoping someone here would tweek the deck and it really take off. I really feel like there is potential here simply because i’ve Been beating all of the popular decks right now. I can honestly say this deck can beat any deck right now with a lucky card draw. Now I know that’s not how it works but many of the decks out there always have a counter in the meta.
Thank you ibbinx!! I’m not sure what you just said but I’m so excited someone is willing to try this. Obviously, no deck is unbeatable but I think with this being completely different you get an edge. I’ve tried to add in a otk combo in the deck (exodia?) but it just doesn’t work for me. Please let me know if you at least Ed enjoyed playing it! I’ll try to find you in game :D
I guess what I feel is original is the freeze alarmbot strategy.
Ah! Sorry I don’t think I’m a noob but I never got involved in the community before. So I don’t know the lingo. I also just came back from a long break, so I don’t know all the decks out there. But I can always go back and realize that if I knew my opponents deck I would have played differently. I can say that rush decks are probably the hardest to beat due to them being able to take out the alarm bots and doomsayer.
It definitely is clunky! But that’s where the freeze spells work their literal magic. It gives you time to work it out. One other thing I like about this deck is it forces you to play in you mind turns ahead. It’s not a deck like zoo where you just pick the best curve.
also feel free to call it shite! I will find that amusing as well! And then let’s play! :D
Props for trying something new, but I don’t see this working out.
Nat might be fun to use, but there are better draw options out there.
It seems like a deck that wants to be able to do everything, and as a result actually does nothing well. Alarm-o-bot it so much fun, but with the lack of value targets it can draw from this deck, it just falls flat
Gotcha, thanks for the critique! I get a lot of value from malygos and the giants. Maybe I should trade the 6 card minions for bigger ones? I think there is a mechathun combo in here but I don’t have that card to try yet. Maybe Luna? Gonna keep tweeting. Can you suggest the other better draw options? But I hesitate to remove nat because.. we’ll nat and I like to win in style (aka meme style).
I tried to do my own version while keeping the spirit of yours.. and I'm still not convinced it will be any good. But if it works for you and is fun (which it certainly seems to be) that's enough i guess. What it lacks most is impactful minions in my opinion, so I added some taunts and minions that do something if you actually manage to make alarm-o-bot work. Also slightly lowered curve by putting in 2 Stonehill Defender, which will (hopefully) generate big minions instead of you cluttering your deck with clunky big minions, while defending your hero portrait from mouse cursors. If and when you keep altering this deck, just keep in mind, that the minions that you try to cheat out actually need to have impact on the board. Better even if that is defensive impact (is that even a term..?) for you, like taunts/removal etc..
Stanley Thank you!!! great feed back. yes I can see where you're going. and great suggestion with stonehill defender. So in a nut shell the spirit of the strategy is creating insane tempo with alarm-o-bot and freezing the enemy minions each turn. Hopefully, you're able to cycle alarm-o-bot for several turns each dropping a massive minion. So I think this could be a new deck archtype (hehe I want to believe I created a new archtype) called freeze-bot mage.
Welcome to the community, glad you are having fun with your deck!! imo a lot of slow cards which are also easy to deal with by opponent. the 5/3 resummon a minion, 8/2 stealth and of course alarm o bot itself.
Also you use Malygos mostly for AoE spells (I see only 2 frostbolts that can do damage to the face)? In general Malygos is used in combo with spells to the face, if you combo with AoE spells it makes your deck even slower.
If you really want it to be able to deal with the meta you also should add tech cards (Ooze, Counterspell, Silence etc.)

Oh and how satisfying is it to win with Nat pagle and alarm-o-bot!!!
Alright, let's test this claim. Ibbinx#1475. I'll run you through Ike's lineup for the hct tourney.

He's challenging you to try your deck against him using Ike's lists. It looks a bit clunky tbh.

I'll try out your suggestions.
See if you can hit rank 5 with it and post a screenshot.
Most decks play a minion with silence and that kinda kills your whole win condition of Alarm-o-Bot pulling big minions.
It sure the hell does :*(
