Ever since Whirlwind Tempest came out, I have tinkered with the idea. I have tried many different approaches, of just how best to use this card. I was wondering if anyone would like to theory craft and test this card/theme in a deck together?
Ill post some of the different decks I made just too show the different approaches I have taken, and for brainstorming ideas.
*****I know there are "better decks" out there, so please dont chime in with those useless comments please.*****
I would love to tinker with the idea with some of you fellow Hearthpwn'ers!!
Alot of these decks I will post havent been used too much, and alot of them are shitty. LOL Its just to show ideas and avenues we could go down building a MEGA WINDFURY deck.
1. Combo with Zentimo and Windfury for and OTK style.### WindfuryElly (v1.0) # Class: Shaman # Format: Standard # Year of the Dragon # # 2x (1) Dust Devil # 2x (1) Young Dragonhawk # 2x (2) Earthen Might # 2x (2) Menacing Nimbus # 2x (2) Windfury # 1x (2) Witch's Brew # 2x (3) Bog Slosher # 1x (3) Electra Stormsurge # 2x (3) Far Sight # 2x (3) Haunting Visions # 1x (3) Zentimo # 2x (4) Hex # 1x (4) Windspeaker # 2x (6) Fire Elemental # 1x (8) Al'Akir the Windlord # 1x (8) Hagatha the Witch # 2x (8) Walking Fountain # 2x (8) Whirlwind Tempest # AAECAaoIBiCyAafuApn7AsuFA8WZAwwzvQHqBIEF/gWyBrDwAoqAA4qFA4uFA4qUA6adAwA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone # Generated by HDT - https://hsreplay.net

So there are so many more, but for space sake I wil stop there. LOL
***NOTE: Mega windfury is 4 attacks! Imagine Zentimo casting Windfury on three, 1 attack minions, equals 12 dmg! If we can buff those same minions with Rockbiter Weapon, thats an amazing 48 dmg!!!! with Whirlwind Tempest
So let me know if your in and lets make a deck!!!!!
I have even considered using Whirlwind Tempest in a different class alltogeher! Maybe Priest, with all its Ressurection skills, maybe playing Windfury minions and reviving them would work? Jepetto Joybuzz also comes to mind.
You can't have that many minions in the deck. Most reliable way would be to have just muckmorper pull out Tempest, give it windfury and then some attack buffs. It costs too much and you can't pull it off in standard.
I think the easiest way to pull would be Windfury + Whirlwind Tempest + any big minion on the board from previous turn
yes of course, however, that a 10 mana play, and if theres taunts in the way etc....Silence is 1 mana, so with coin you could do it. But how to build the deck. Just removing 2 cards from any deck to fit these in is the challenge! what would you suggest? an Elemental deck? A Muckmorpher etc?
The thing about windfury tempest's mega-windfury is that.....it's kinda overkill?
Most of the time when you zentimo rockbiter, windfury 3 guys you only need the 6 attacks from those three
LOL I guess you guys missed the part wher I said, I know ther are better ways to build a deck, but if u dont have an real contribution, just stay out of it. Its too easy to just comment and nitpick and not actually participate in the threads idea, which is, building this particular deck together.

so, once again, im asking for actual participation in building the deck. Not just "just put those cards in and it will work" LOl I know that already. the challenge is building a viable deck with these cards. if you have real ideas and want to share, great. If not, thx anyways. Using Muckmorpher is one idea I have used and tried, how to build it the best way? Playing Muck on 5 and getting Mega windfury guy doesnt do anything and actually hurts us with loss of tempo. etc....
I think the best way to build this is minimal amount of minions. I think we play schemes and quakes, earth shocks, hex, storms. Control the board and try to cheat mana. Jepetto, 2 far sight, 2 haunted visions for more combo or aoe. So the minions that seem good are a single muckmorpher, al-akir, walking fountains, Alex, and Ysera. If we get nightmare off Ysera we can go Al Akir for 1 mana or whirlwind for 1 and hit hard. Any combo piece off of far sight adds a ton of damage.
When I think of Whirlwind Tempest being played, I see it more as a 1-of that has some marginal synergy with the deck to punish your opponent when a Windfury is left on board late game. Not really a card to build the whole deck around. Siamat,Walking Fountain, or Al'Akir on left on board late? Tempest + Earthen Might is going to clean up.
There's a huge drop off from Al'Akir/Saimat/Walking Fountain when it comes to windfury. Stick to the best.

So I have tried a few ideas and might even build a Priest version. Heres a game from today with Shaman, in a play test with a buddy. He didnt know anything about my deck, so it was a natural game. the ending was POG!https://hsreplay.net/replay/4B4RFWcFkmk7s88fSd7DGB

The thing about windfury tempest's mega-windfury is that.....it's kinda overkill?
Most of the time when you zentimo rockbiter, windfury 3 guys you only need the 6 attacks from those three
Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!

I played a big shaman in the last expansion and just got shit on by CC. It was decent in most other matchups even vs control warrior.
Ravenholdt Assassin + Whirlwind into Whirlwind Tempest + Rockbiter Weapon is a 40 dmg two turn i just have it as an alternative win condition but my games never last long enough that i play it that often.
Im gonna try some Priest ideas today with Windfury and resurrect ideas....maybePsychopomp on Young Dragonhawk, buffed with Extra Arms and then late game play Mass Resurrection !?
What about using High Priest Amet to make small Windfury minions like Young Dragonhawk and Thrallmar Farseer have big health, then play some kind of OTK with either Divine Spirit or Crazed Alchemist?
Ill do some testing of this idea today as well.

heres my game from today which did the very thing you talked about! https://hsreplay.net/replay/4B4RFWcFkmk7s88fSd7DGB
quite fun to actually pull off LOL
