Hello! Looking to see if this can be more than a meme deck. Really like the different ways Auchenai can be used for damage and would like to make a better burn deck.
I considered Snapjaw Shellfighter to protect Auchenai but went with Seances instead. Considered Holy Fire but thought it might be too slow. Considered Shadowform but seems unnecessary if I can maintain Auchenai presence. Previously tried Blackwald Pixie but the effect wasn't all that impressive. Any suggestions much appreciated!
I would suggest messing around with Clockwork Automaton. That sucker can really snowball if you can copy it. Also Injured Blademaster or Damaged Stegotron are interesting options for maintaining board presence while you're trying to get a combo together.
EDIT: Some other cool options are Shadowy Figure to copy the Shadequill deathrattle and then kill it off with Circle or Prophet Velen as he combos well with Mind Blast or an Auchenai + Regenerate. If you manage to stick an Auchenai to the board, you can do something like Velen + Vivid Nightmare + Double Regenerate for 24 damage. I may have to mess around with the idea myself as well.
@WhatAChamp Hey thanks- I actually really like the Injured Blademaster Idea. Another big body to push damage and distract or even draw if I need a heal target, but what to replace? I miss Shadow Visions...
Automaton is cool... worth a try at least.. a little skeptical about it because of the cost, I'm not running any copy spells other than Seance for the auchenai, no velen, no blackwalds..... hard to justify without making it more hero power centric, I think...
IMO, the Dead Ringer would probably be the first to go. I just don't see much of a purpose in it, particularly since it can run out of targets whereas Loot Hoarder doesn't and you don't need a specific combo piece from your draw. IBM can be used for draw as well with Northshire and Circle or Regenerate. The purpose of Velen was less for the hero power and more for the Mind Blast or Regenerates for bigger hits. That being said, it is fairly slow so I get that it might not be a priority inclusion. I also feel like Divine Hymn is a bit too situational, particularly since it can't hit enemies.
Hey thank you so much for the follow-up. I actually just made a bunch of changes and I can't tell if I am meme'ing so hard that it's good or if I'm getting lucky but I am slamming people with giant Lightwells right now hahahaha
I agree with you totally and removed the Loot Hoarders, Dead Ringers, and Divine Hymn.
I love the suggestion about the Shadowy Figure on Shadequill and the Velen + Regenerate. I find that it has become really hard to make it in the later game so the version I am uploading right now is an inner fire package and I replaced the shadequills since I found that my opponent too often gets the health boost over the damage effect. If you try a more draw-intensive/mid-late game velen-shadowy-vivid nightmare style would you let me know how it goes??
