OK, this is not a cool build. This is the most high-roll shit I ever had. Sometimes you feel sorry for your opponents. On top of that I discovered George's hero power and got Argent Braggart from DM Prizes. As a bonus I accomplished the 40 dmg achievement against Ghost. One would say The Perfect Game!
I see this subforum mostly silent (btw. where are all our BG specialists? bored to death? so many new things and still no one discusses)
So I decided to post some of my winning builds, enjoy!
"Gold Maker Build"
I was about to die so I had to improvise very hard. Fun build allowed by Elistra, Amal. always gets DS back and you always get your 4 golds/elementals to your hand. Note to say I killed everyone very fast so there was no cosmic scaling at all.
"George 'Taunts Kick Your Ass' The Fallen"
This was DS taunt build almost all the time pretty much. Got lucky golden Baron (0 mana spell T16? I guess) into Kangor and that was the last push. But I have to say DS taunts (Voidlord especially) hold very well whole game with 'endless' +3 from 4/5 (didn't find golden one though).
"Stolen Menagerie"
Just a standard menagerie build, right? Except this one was fully stolen with Tess. I really like Tess gameplay and I would never skip her. Such a joy for me. Here I just picked the best parts for my ZOO and killed everyone else with them. BGgasm :)
"Kill Yourself Or I'll Sting You - Build"
Yeah, full anti-cosmic build at its best. Everyone goes 1000/1000 whatever? Easy solution for you. Specifically this positioning was against 200+ Garr & Molten Rock elemental build. One DS refresh on Amalgams and they had no chance. I pick The Curator almost everytime these days, if there are at least Mechs in game, I like this slow building Amalgam from old days.
Need to be massively overnerfed now or nothing else than control warlock and hyper aggro will exists.
this, yeah, people will be pissed off very soon, after 10th not-completed C'thun, after 15th discarded N'zoth, after 20th never played Yogg.. they just say: well, that wasn't fun at all, fuck it, there goes my face hunter boys and I mean it...
It's OK without Shudderwock, not many games last so long. It's nice to have as plan B against heavy control decks. Creepers on the other hand are pretty big, especially when they clear your rabbit board with theirs, it's basically 0mana 8 drop. You can still win with your OP Doppelgangsters + Corsairs turn though.
IDK, with such a deck you go on board always in "waves".
1st wave could be Desert Hare + Evolve or Shard, Brlock (if survive) + Clacker
2nd wave could be Doppelgangster / Coaster + Knuckles swing OR Coin + Knuckles + Dread Corsair + Dread Corsair + 0mana Creeper / Mogu
etc...
last mega wave is Shudderwock (if needed) - fills your board, equips Knuckles, evolves something...
That's why AoE evolve is better in this deck and you have at least 12 AoE evolves here (2x evolve, 4x Knuckles, 4x Knuckles from Pillager + 2x Knuckles from Shudderwock). Of course you can try UE and see what happens, but I wouldn't cut Dread Corsair - drop rather Brrloc or Coaster. Dread Corsair is such a versatile card here, he saved me many times against agro as 0mana 3/3 taunt (evolve first then look if you have a taunt, if not then play him as your last chance).
IDK, I'm Wild only player but in such a heavy control deck you really want Doomsayers or/and Barrels (Depth Charge) for early game. It works in Wild so I expect it has to work in Standard too. I would also consider new Revolve and maybe even Desert Hare for early pressure (turn 4 - devolve theirs, evolve yours - better outcome than with Pit Master btw). Too bad you have no more those Storm Chaser elementals, this card would be great here. But you can add some weapons and draw them with Custodian to thin your deck - Knuckles wouldn't be bad with so many battlecries, also corrupt your 4-drops... just an idea.
Maybe drop some AoE's because there will be always those two cheap AoE spells from C'thun, but you have to test the meta first anyways.
I wonder if there is any reason to not hit diamond 1 rank (or legend even) before the new system implementation. I'm sitting on D2 full stars currently and I guess once you get there you have to wait until season reset to obtain whatever is waiting there (is there anything?). Or it doesn't matter at all and you get everything retrospectively?
Can't wait to play this deck. Cagematch Custodian will be so strong here. 90% of all my losses were when I didn't draw Knuckles in time. Now I don't even have to keep Knuckles in mulligan, nice, very nice.
speaking of Yogg I have to say I really like this new Elise, especially her yogg-ish turn3 (buy one, HP/discover one without needing to sell) - very strong and consistent early game - can't wait to get her again

Probably synchronization bug again and again - you see that you won last match but in reality, on server side, you lost badly (30 dmg at least)
boats, shredders, baron builds or any high-roll minion can do this

it's like when they printed Sex Pistols pictures on Visa Mastercards - you see the irony? :)

oh, I meant rewards, achievements, whatever... and how it will work after this update

yeah, I can't wait to see elementals rotating as other tribes (it worked with murlocs but now we have two banned tribes every run)
it was fun for a while but now we are ready to let them go every 3 - 4 games, I guess :)

if you use Deck Tracker then just click on any tier and there you can see 'unavailable tribes' below - even while choosing your hero (just a hint)
