Savjz and the Reno Dream - Rank 1 Legend Kabal Decks
Savjz has been destroying the European ladder recently with some awesome decks from the Kabal side of things! These decks are all of the Reno Jackson style which requires you to run no duplicate cards in your deck. A few things before we get started:
- All these decks require the new legendary minion, Kazakus. He's awesome, craft him now!
- Your wallet is going to break. Baseline, the crafting costs of each deck are at least 11000 dust.
- You should go follow Savjz on Twitter and Twitch!

Savjz Plays Mage and Warlock
You can watch Savjz pilot the Mage and Warlock decks below!
hahahaha!
Alexstrasza is the core of this deck. Collect strong cards and finish your opponent off with her. It's that simple
Roaring Torch + Fireball + Frostbolt = 15hp
Dragon Priest is already a grinding strategy deck, with no precise win condition... A Reno Dragon priest is necessarily even more... Ethereal.
I'm still unconvinced about the fun factor, at least for priest.
No Inkmaster Solia? :( I really wanna play that card...
Yeah, I guess so. I've crafted her and Archmage Antonidas and really wanted to work those cards, but both slow the deck severely and I couldn't manage to get a consistent game :/
Well, shame's on my. She's a great card and tempo swings she offers are huge, but I don't think the meta is slow enough to allow them (especially Tony) in Kabal Reno. :( I've always thought it's easy to make a highlander deck, because you can have more different cards. Until I've made my first one, I didn't realize it's extremely tight there :/
Wouldnt she work for Rafaam discoveries, too?
Definitly would. I did DE Rafaam, tbh xD
The problem isn't synergy, but putting her somewhere in the deck. I've tried to push her and Tony and it doesn't work, as I tend to lose tempo hard enough to not be able to bounce back, but that might come from the fact, that I'm still a shitty player.
Looks like I should craft a Dirty Rat after all, Savjz seems to rate it pretty highly.
I wonder what I am missing, it does not seem that strong.. Maybe it combo with the AoE to drain an additional resource? Or maybe it is huge against pirates?
It's strength is in it's versatility. Against an aggro deck, you can deny an important battlecry (such as from Defender of Argus) while also putting up 6 health they have to get through. If you do it late enough, you can combo it with AoE to wipe their board and limit their ability to refill it. Against combo decks, you can pull out an important combo piece and kill it, potentially removing their win condition. Imagine if C'thun or N'zoth get pulled out and immediately killed, that would be a huge loss. I think this latter use is actually what it's best for.
Savjz runs a dirty Dirty rat combo. He plays: Brann, Dirty Rat to pull out two minions for his opponent that already has 3 minions on the board, then plays Mind Control Tech STEALING two minions. It's been on today in hearthstone videos as well as one of savjz's own videos. It's pretty incredible when pulled off. (I think in Savjz's video, he steals a sylvanas and an alexstraza from the mage after pulling out Kazakus and Reno which prevents their battlecries from happening.)
more like against jade
I personally dont like it, i prefer to use Second-Rate Bruiser instead, but to each his own.
I've pulled a golden one from my first MSoG pack. DE'd, because I wanted to get as much dust as possible. Crafted Solia...
Be the 2nd?
Nope.
Rank 1 legend?
Yep.
