Nah, i still think that Odd Pal is stronger - i've seen mech pals only 3 times with my Odd Pal, but won em all without much of a hassle. Now i test different DMH Warrior decks, i waited sooo long for Control/Fatigue Warrior to comeback as a tier 1 deck, and i think it happened with Boomsday lol))

Even tho atm i test pretty weird non-meta versions (mostly mechs heavy) i think Warrior will definitely take his place at the top-tier ^^

Well, guess u were lucky. This deck gets obliterated by Even Sham, Odd Pal, rogue etc. U can win only if u super lucky with opening hand or if u face against slow combo/control deck, which r less popular in current meta. So gratz with legend, but it's not like this deck is very potent for climbing...

Well, i've met 4 classic statues+rag+ysharadj+arthas priests and 1 with maly and velen it seems. Won only 1 match of 5 btw =\

As to "tier 1"... Well, i don't say that im super good, but i doubt that this deck is still legend viable in current meta in EU. Maybe if u super lucky with opponent draws or something)))
Atm it goes like that:

• ress priest: 1/5
• renolock: 1/1
• cubelock: 1/1
• shaman shudder: 1/1
• rogue kingsbane: 0/1
• renomage: 0/1 (dirty rat + deathlord he killed by himself)
• hunter odd: 1/1
  5/11 lol

Well, deck is fun - i forgot about time and played all evening till late night))) but sadly it seems that Maly is not rly viable in current meta - there too much aggro (Even Shams, Eggadins, Odd Pals).
So i tweaked deck a bit: -2 Innervate / +2 Deathlord, -1 Nourish -1 UI / +2 Starfall
but still it's rly hard to win against em
I played 37 games, not much, but atm stats go like that:

• warlock: 3/3 (ez matchup)
• mage: 3/4 (lost vs OTK mage, missed 1 hp on my combo before his)
• hunter: 3/3 (even easier than locks)
• priest: 0/2 (lost vs Ress priest - couldn't do much against KelThuzad Barnes and Ysharadj x2 lol, also lost vs Dragon priest - board was too strong + he stole my Maly ='(
• druid: 3/3 (weird but i won 2 mirrors with slightly different decks - both had Raven Idols, and 1 match against Togwaggle - pulled his Azalina from deck with my Deathlord lol)
• shaman even: 2/8 (can't say much - 7/7 dudes, giants 8/8, +2 dmg totems, devolve after plague etc.)
• paladin odd: 3/6 (not that hard as shamans, but still that board overflow =\)
• eggadin: 0/3 (when met it first time - thought it will be ez, well, it was not =) also 2 matches were against same player - so it's not like that deck super popular it seems, i mean comparing to odd pal
• rogue odd: 1/2 (wasn't ez, but i think wr should be about 50% if not more)
• rogue king's bane: 0/2 (1st burnt my Maly with double murloc, 2d just was too fast, but i think i had misplays and my planning was off at least in 1st match)
• warrior pirates: 1/1 (slightly harder than hunter)

So 19/37 overall - it's like 51.4% wr, but it can just go lower with more games i think))
And also, considering that earlier i've gone like 2/8 or 3/9 (wasn't writing it up) before i tweaked deck, i'm kinda fallen back to rank 4 from rank 3, i bounced back and forth during matches tho, but still it doesn't help with climbing up)))
But deck is rly fun as i said, much funnier than OTK priest or quest mage - involves lot of predicting and planning.

Daam, man, that deck is cool, also thx for tip about Branching Paths, now i do realize that this card is rly good and versatile. Also i got lucky - found golden Temporus in Cobold's pack - dusted him and now even after crafting Maly OTK i have 2k+ dust left, so 1k dust more and i'll craft this Togwaggle version ^^

Well, this deck is rly good, i think one of the best combo decks ever, but daam, so expensive. I thought that having over 4k dust will be enough lol not at all - i miss 4 legendaries and 2 epics which equals to 7200 dust Oo jeez ='((
As i can see u have lot of good decks posted and seems u rly know about meta and stuff like that so can u check my collection and suggest me any good deck which i can craft with 4k dust? I now it's kinda too much to ask, but still =P 
I really wanna to hit legend at least once but im stuck and can't climb past rank 2 for 2 months already. I've hit rank 2 in previous month for the first time with Odd Pally but never was able to get rank 1 with any deck i've tried (Odd Pal/Rogue, Even Shaman, Taunt Druid, Reno Lock, OTK Priest etc.) I also miss some legs for most decks, but i just not rly sure which of em rly important - like Kazakus and Godfrey in RenoLock, or Hagatha for EvenSham, Bloodmage  Talnos for OTK Priest... etc. So can u plz give me some advice - what deck is good to clim from rank 2 and also what i need to craft to get this damn legend?)))
I mean it's just 2 ranks, why it's so hard)) it feels that i played for past few months almost same amount of matches i played since CBT of HS for few years lol

Well, i'm not surprised u had better results, versions of this deck with Godfrey and/or Glinda are obviously stronger, i've said in the beginning of description of my deck that it is for those who still have no them (like me). But congratz to u anyways. Oh, and as to Sacrificial Pact - it was a good card since Cobold & Catacombs cuz there r so much warlocks out there, but also this card was always good in wild in conjunction with Voidcallers, and cuz i play mostly wild, i guess i never actually stopped using Sacrificial Pact for few years lol

Sry dude, don't even sure how unlucky u were. I had 7/3 with that exact deck and 5/3 with slightly different version where i replaced Mortal Coil with Baleful Banker, Gnomeferatu with 2d Beetle and 1 Siphon Soul with 2d Twisting Nether.

SO it worked before, but when i relogged (HS forced me to do so cuz of maintenance) now it shows empty list with some bs message about "Export Deck" - there r no such button anywhere in the UI. I even tried to copy Brawl Deck and use it in a standard game mode (it worked), but when i returned into brawl mode - still same "whoopsie" bs... Seems it ruined for the rest of the run =\
Fix plz?

great deck if u play somewhere around rank 20 (nope, even then it's bullcrap)

Yeah it's going to be an issue. Because psychmelon is such a retarded card everyone is teching against druid now so there will be issues when trying to climb. Star Aligner would probably be the most safe version to use on ladder since it is a bit better equipped to deal with dirty rat due to minion density.

Personally I am taking a break from Druid and rocking Paladin. I just posted my mech paladin List for Boomsday. Thing is a beat. Currently sitting at 63% winrate over a lot of games. In my last one I punched through 70 health worth of taunts and even more armor and still won the game. With the right build, paladin can carry :D

Yes in Jades as you don't want necessearily to grumble them, it also messes up OTK Charge in all in charge decks.

However it is very good against control decks where you know the will not be able to punish you instantly when you can not push face next turn with for example jades. And you can continue to make more massive jades. I like to run a zola and a baleful banker. Chances are i get a shudder back without sacirificing the board.

Still in my reno charge decks it is a must as we can not garantee to find Hogleader. There you can add Nightblade to do damage with Shudder and Grumble.

The reason we want nightblade is that we want to draw mukla coldlight and midnight drake in those decks.

The mill withbrann coldlight and mukla can be very good and the only wincondition agaist Decks like malygos druid. You can burn up 5 cards with it and draw 4.

I'm sorry, this could be taken as a bit mean spirited but I mean it in the most literal of terms.

If $80 constitutes a "huge paywall" for you, perhaps you have more pressing concerns in your life than the next alternate hero skin. 

Thanks!

Hey mates gunnolf and markus ,I want to tell you how to defeat kingsbane rouge, 

Easy just don't draw, just burn your cards as fast as u can ,and never try to use ur UI or nourish to draw cards , branching baths just use it for armor or giving your minions +1 attack if u have a big board. 

Thx gunnolf for the great list though, having so much success with. 

Edit:I found that using Zola instead of ixlid is just useful (instead of alexstraza), so we can have 3

Hey Guys... I found a HARD counter to even shaman... oddly enough, no pun intended... all you have to do is run the best odd shaman cards in a shaman tempo deck... featuring Shudderwock for the knockout punch if you haven't already grinded down their board.  Besides simply running the strongest odd shaman cards (and obvious even ones too) adding lots of high health taunts really gets the job done.  The matchups are very grindy and it's a chess match for about 20 turns with a billion trades, but by the end they run out of steam and get outvalued as their minions are static and yours are dynamic with the evolve spells.

Even shaman dies a slow painful death as they lose the board to higher health taunts and the evolve combos, and they have no healing or board clears other than maelstrom portal (whoopee!)  Once they fall behind on the board they are screwed, and to top it off they have no card draw.  Three really giant problems when you think about deck crafting.  Board clears, healing, and card draw are three problems I don't have with my deck thanks to some key odd cards they wish they had.

Genn Graymane is COMPLETELY wrong... they have not turned their greatest weakness into their greatest strength... their greatness weakness is YOUR greatness strength.

I'm laddering between rank 5 and 3 with a funky oakheart druid deck at the moment, but I am around  90% win rate when I counter que even shamans with my shaman counter.  The deck also does really well against tempo/secret mage, another bane of my existence.

Here's the most important cards to consider, in order of strength:

- Shudderwock... Auto win if you get off a chain gang and a doppel or two and a healbot hopefully.  Unlike the combo wombo lifedrinker shudderwock plays, you can simply play shudderwock like a bonemare on steiroids on curve, or like an EXTREMELY beefy doppelgangster (that can evolve into a full board of 10 drops).  Even Shaman has ZERO ways to deal with a full board of 6/6s, not to mention if you evolve them into 10 drops or get them all to have divine shield and taunt from the lone champion battlecry.
- Doppelgangster/Evolve (thank god they are odd cost cards!)
- Unstable Evolution (try to save for turn 4 or later to make an 8 drop if possible)
- Volcano (Great way to regain the board)
- Lightning Storm (goodbye totems!)
- Tar Creeper, Lone Champion, Deathlord, Chain Gang, Hot Spring Guardian for midrange taunts (i've considered adding in the 2/4 echo taunt)
- Mana Tide Totem (great to hide behind your high health taunts)
- Antique Healbot (erase a smack to the face from a sea giant)

I also run Grumble to basically reheal my taunts if needed or to replay healbot, but he's not necessary for shudderwock to autowin.  I've thought about adding in zola to duplicate the shudderwock, but the duplication is not needed against even shaman and a 3 mana 2/2 is absolute trash in the matchup from a tempo perspective, but might be something to consider against other decks that could clear the first wave of shudderwocks.

And I also run my favorite card ever... Yogg Saron... mostly as a troll card because I REALLY hate even shaman... but also as a backup prayer reset switch to clear a board you're behind on or to get some card draw.

My decklist is below, but you could probably put your own spin on it and perfect it as I only use it sparingly as a counter que to even shaman and tempo mage.

I really don't want to sound like a conspiracy artist but blizzard matchmaking is a certified prick. I've been running tests by including single 'test tech cards' in my deck. Specifically when I played Burn Mage I added in 2 volcanic potions just to see what I would get. Went 15 games in a row w/o facing a single aggro deck >.>

I honestly call bullshit sometimes with the way the games work :D

Dead Man's Hand warrior is a decent deck but honestly the games take so long and the skill cap is so high that I just never want to play it haha.

Branching Paths is one of the most important card for druid nowadays and it is extremely versatile. It essentially sees play in almost all druid decks apart from aggro. So it's a good craft in general.

Specifically in reference to Malygos Druid. Check out my guide here. If you scroll down you'll see multiple ways to build the deck and the merits | demerits of each list. ^^

Dranei Totemcarver?

haha if you think this is expensive just wait and see your average renomage list. Without exception they cost about 20k a piece :D.

It's relatively hard to advise on viable decks in general because in my eyes almost anything can be used to get to Legend. Myself and other players have proven it by playing decks considered sometimes tier 5 by Tempo Storm or Vicious Syndicate and using them to get to Legend. 

However, all that aside. In terms of a really cheap deck you can use to get to Legend I would recommend either Pirate Warrior or Burn Mage. Burn mage costs 4680 dust to craft from scratch but you do have a few of the cards so it won't be that expensive and Pirate warrior is about 6680 but you can easily knock that down to 5480 with the included f2p inclusions.

I regularly use Malygos Druid when I'm stuck on ladder but that is quite expensive as a deck and requires a more than decent amount of practice to avoid missplays.

Most likely I would recommend burn mage as it is cheap and others have used it for Legend climbing. It has some issues against faster decks like paladin. But against odd shaman it's about a 50/50 split and when it comes to control decks you usually just walk all over them barring them having the absolute nuts.
