When this was created Ping Mage wasnt even a thing. So no news there yes.

Yes, we got it, you are doing it bad with it, time to move on. Btw, pirate warrior is a favorable matchup for you. If you loose to it b4 he completes quest, you are just playing way too greedy. Remove everything he has, your wincondition is not going anywhere. He cat pass your armor demons without killing them. Very easy matchup

I agree, that the meta has shifted again towards spell oriented decks. It doesnt mean the deck can not be OP again with some adjustments. I will do the experimentation. Perhaps more agressivness is needed.  I dont agree that its draws are inconsistent. In my games I very selfomly sit with full mana cost Tickatus. And even when I do, I still win very often. Winrate with the deck is still not bad. I am sure it can be even better.

Thank you man, I created it myself. Started with tasmin + tickatus only and ended up with Vandar. 

Quest priest is absolutely beatable. You burn their deck, wait to complete the quest, then use Mutanus. Thats why he is in the deck. Quest warlock might be the problem, yes, but I havent met any in 30 games. Neither did I meet elemental shaman, only OTK, which you beat. Either you play a very different meta then I did or you are doing somethig wrong. Its strange I get so polarized opinions, I guess the deck is not for everybody.

I am sorry it didnt work for you. It works very well for others, perhaps you mulligan incorrect? Remember, it is a control deck. Tickatus is your wincondition only vs OTK decks. Vs agro you just need to defend,  sometimes it is better to copy armor demons. I still believe this deck counters whole todays meta. Lost only to 1 pirate warrior so far and to 0 paladins. Maybe full agro hunter beats this, but I havent met any.

If you draw tickatus with full cost, you can still corrupt it with 8 mana demons, leutenants or mutanus. There are plenty of options. And remeber, you dont have to wait for full 7 minion armor combo , just playing it on 2-3 can win games.

Hm, I use to mulligan it away, but I guess you might keep to have an upgraded version right away

I played the deck a bit yesterday. First of all, it does work quite consistently and has good WR. On the negative side: it has trouble to dump your hand vs classes that does not play minions, like warlock, mage or priest. As a result, the deck is a bit slow and it is hard to draw the whole combo consistently. I wonder if it is possible to make the deck more aggressive to make it draw much faster and put earlier pressure on the opponent. Also, it is quite easy to disrupt your combo with mutanus or freeze trap. But there is nothing to do about that.

I will try to experiment. For now, I have exchanged librarian for Thalnos. It is very good with many aoe spells present and helps you cycle.

So you have a 6-piece 10 mana OTK?: To the Front - To the Front - Captain Galvangar - Battleground Battlemaster - Faceless - Faceless  for a maximum of 18+18+18 = 54 damage... Hmm, that's interesting. Though I am sceptical to that it works consistently, since too many pieces are needed. But the idea is great, upvoted!

Owl lock is fine. Disruption tools are there: weapon removal delays their combo greatly. You can also mill them with 4mana 5/5 pirate. Or you can just kill them with tempo decks. Also, that deck is vulnerable to big minions. I am playing slow ramp druid and I manage to kill 50% of them. I even survived full double combo (14*8 damage) once, cause I had 80+HP and 5 minions on board. It is no Quest Warlock by any means. 

This deck is not terrible or great.. took me a few games to understand the combos... Still it's not an consistent deck imo. But it's quit satisfying when de combos pop of. That's why I love rogue decks. I think this deck is good in wild with some Dr activators 

Great feedback...  no rhyme or reason as to why....  

Going out on a limb....    maybe it's the pilot of the deck...    

go back to your comfort zone of OP net decks...   you may find that Druid is more your style.

suerte

loving it! 13-5 currently

I feel like with the power of these buddies they should increase the general health pool by 10 or so and still keep the armor as well. 

Quote from TheLemming >>d

I can't help but think Tess got a massively short end of this "expansion's" stick. Hunter of Old right now basically seems to be "Gain 1 coin each turn while this is in play." simply due to how the other buddies work in conjunction with their heroes. I mean Crabby's ability is all about the damage your HP does, Spirit Raptor's is purely based on elemental invocations used, Raging Contender requires Hooktusk's hero power...

 ? She works perfectly in line with how the hero works.  If you play against something irrelevant to your comp she's worthless and on the flip side she can be very powerful.

Tavish will be a great addition for late game positioning minigames. Couldn't love Brann's buddy more!

This deck is a blast! I’m 4-0 with 4 concedes. The turn when you rip 3 Tickatie, and you mill half there is deck is a feeling that can’t be described in words. Very fun and sweet deck thank you RomanKnight

Amazing deck, where did you found it? I got mirror recently,so i assume it's a bit popular.

Super fun actually, would love a more in depth guide

to upgrade :D
