The Trump Theorycraft Train to Un'Goro
The self-proclaimed Mayor of Value Town has been up to his usual post-reveal theorycraft now that the entire Journey to Un'Goro set is out in the wild, and oh boy does he have some ideas. Below you can find all of Trump's creations. It sure will be interesting to see if any of them can go further than his Old Gods C'Thun Druid!
Thanks to ShadowsOfSense for putting these lists together from Trump VODs! A true hero.
Spotlight: Elemental Tempo Mage
No Mage Quest here but we do see the Elemental tribe make a strong appearance alongside the new Mage Legendary, Pyros. The goal is to always have something awesome to drop on the field and to use Elementals throughout to always active their synergies.
Lots of common Mage tools in the deck, so let's highlight some of the new cards you'll be playing with.
Elise the Trailblazer
Awesomesauce. Seriously, this card is going to be great since you've got some good draw to help thin out your deck, improving the changes of obtaining your pack. The value of the pack is higher than a normal pack you'd buy out of the store as you are on average going to get a Legendary but will at the very least get a rare. It should also be noted that the expansion contains 22 Elemental minions, which are great for synergies within your deck.
The 2 Mana to play Un'Goro Pack is just so silly. You should be sent to jail for getting 5 cards for that cheap because its an absolute steal, especially when that hand thins out late game! This card is the new Loatheb.
Blazecaller
The better Firelands Portal! You'll cut out the RNG factor and due to the amount of Elementals in your deck, and Elemental generation potential, you should almost always be able to play this later on in the game.
Tol'vir Stoneshaper
This is one annoying stone cat, and beats out the classic Sen'jin Shieldmasta by a mile. It should help kick any aggro you find to the curb and be a nice annoyance like our old friend Sludge Belcher to anyone else you come across. Play it alongside one of those cheap Elemental tokens you received early on via Igneous Elemental to keep the synergy rolling onto your next turn.

Spotlight: Quest Rogue
Rogue isn't dead! Well, at least we hope it isn't! The deck makes use of the new Rogue Quest, The Caverns Below which grants Crystal Core.
- The deck plays off of low-cost minions which can be played whenever drawn and to get out tons of damage once your Quest completes for the ultimate in value.
- You should use Mimic Pod or Thistle Tea to draw one of your cheap minions.
- Shadowstep or Youthful Brewmaster will help bring that minion back to hand to get extra plays. Shadowstep preferably!
- The quest will complete very quickly and then you just need to go crazy! 5/5 Patches the Pirate - the Dream!

All The Decks!
In total, we've got 12 theorycrafted Un'Goro decks from Trump. Do you have any awesome ideas for new decks?
I like Trump, but no not even he will play any of these theorycraft decks. At the end of April, all of these decks will have been proven weak and have to change quite a few cards and he will most likely choose rank 1 deck from some other streamer.
What?
Sure, Hearthpwn gets more site views, but how does this really benefit Trump? If everyone is playing good decks, that means it's harder for him to get ahead in the meta. As for netdecking, there's no way you're ever going to stop it, people want to play the decks that are the best in the current game, and a big part of the skill you need for ladder is knowing what decks to expect and how your deck can win against them.
Sharing decklists has been a thing since the inception of CCG...
They used to print MTG and Pokemon Decklists in Magazines in the 90s lol
all shitty
Someone forgot to put Vanish in that Rouge quest deck...
Why would i listen to a guy who makes missplay like almost every turn and whos decks dont make it to constructed ladder?
Nobody told you to. You can copy the deck and change the cards all you want.
hahaahh thanks for the nice laugh at the end of a day
Didn't Trump say that the Rogue quest will be trash?
TRUMP IS THE MAN AMONGST THE BOYS
wutface
"I wonder what Trump will do with the Paladin quest!?"
*reads lists*
"fuck"
Lol patches in rogue quest deck...and I thought the nightmare will be finally over :(
Don't see any reason to play sorcerers apprentice in the mage deck tough
His warrior deck is shit seriously. This guy should stick to be newbie mentor.
Lets compare the Elementals to the C'thun decks to see if they are bad or not.
C'thun minions have vanila stats to their mana costs. They also have a small bonus like dealing two damage. In the end they also have the bonus of buffing c'thun, a huge minion that is likelly to win the game or clear the board and get hexed.
Elementals seens to strugle to get vanila stats, and some are worse. Also the bonus they get have a condition of playing an elemental last turn. In the other hand, te bonus they give are generally ok, and in most cases, better than the c'tun ones.
In the end they seem to be very similar to c'thun, give or take.
But c'thun decks are no tier 1 at the moment, so, maybe this means elementals will be trash? This is a question!
This is ridiculous. You can't compare them to C'thun cards. They are more similar to dragons, and dragon decks are pretty strong.
