The Trump Theorycraft Train to Knights of the Frozen Throne
The self-proclaimed Mayor of Value Town has been up to his usual post-reveal theorycraft now that the entire Frozen Throne 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!
Spotlight: EZ Big EZ Jade
A take on Jade / Ramp Druid for Frozen Throne. Give yourself plenty of extra mana crystals, survive, and go to town with huge hitters. Let's take a look at the new cards that are joining the roster.
Spreading Plague
A great anti-aggro card! Will easily help you to sustain yourself from the mid-game to ensure you'll get to play some of those powerhouses. Why was this printed again?
Malfurion the Pestilent
Control Powerhouse. The best friend of Fandral Staghelm, another card residing in the deck. If you can pull the combo off, it's some easy board control for you. No combo? No problem! Bringing out Fandral later still works with the Plague Lord hero power for excellent control. He's also a bit cheaper than other heroes, which is a huge plus.
Ultimate Infestation
Five fives for five plus five! The card is seriously insane and if it doesn't end up being an auto-include in most Druid decks, it's probably been nerfed by Blizzard. What's not to love about stupid amounts of value?
The Lich King
Do we even need to mention this dude? The Lich King has been forecasted as an auto-include for a lot of decks due to the insane value of the cards he spawns. There are a couple of Death Knight cards that aren't the best, but he's too good to pass up. Learn more about the Death Knight tokens on his card page.

Spotlight: Corpsetaker Control Paladin
Upgraded Control Paladin! Onward to see the new Frozen Throne cards being used in the deck.
Chillblade Champion
Honestly not entirely sure if this is the best card for the slot, and the community is pretty evenly split about this being playable or bad, but it does help us ensure we can give Lifesteal to our Corpsetaker! It's guaranteed to give us health back, so that's nice.
Corpsetaker
We're already making use of most of these keywords in the deck which means you're on point for a trip to Value Town! Running a couple of these guys is pretty much just adding two extra Wickerflame Burnbristle into your deck.
Do note however that you only get the effects provided that they're still in your deck. Your hand or discard pile do not count.
Uther of the Ebon Blade
Uther is a strong independent Death Knight who don't need no Tirion Fordring (please excuse his inclusion in this deck). Effectively giving you 20 health, DK Uther will be able to help you trade efficiently into the opponent and if you can manage the control game very well, you can end up with the four horsemen on your side for an automatic win. What a fun card this is going to be!
The Lich King
Refer to the deck above where we mentioned The Lich King.

All The Decks!
In total, we've got 14 theorycrafted Frozen Throne decks from Trump. Do you have any awesome ideas for new decks?
T H E M A D M A N !
I think people are looking at it all wrong, when trump theorycrafts you go opposite of what he says never do what he says. If he says a card is terrible its really good and vice versa.
I think the worse about Trump is not his ratings or his inability to theorycraft decks, is his cocky attitude, the guy even argues with the chat like he knows everything when we all know that his predictions suck and his decks are awful
*note: english is not my first language, so, sorry in advance
Yes, never argue with Twitch chat, because Twitch chat is the truth. You are all know the truth. You are all the chat.
I think trump is slightly more accurate than that, but not much. All of these decks feel about as bad as blizzards recipe decks if not worse. They really just lack focus and run bad cards because they look cool, they aren't actually good. The corpsetaker deck and the priest otk deck are probably the least bad of these, and they would require significant refinement.
So people are going to follow advice from a washed up "pro" who has proven countless amount of times that he can't theory craft at all? How many more times are people going to follow this dude who without fail ranks every top tier card as garbage and tries to ignore the fact that he was once again wrong?
I can go ahead and list every single card he was/is wrong about but that would take to much time. Highlights include, doctor boom, darkshire councilman, sunshard, glyph, druid quest, warrior quest, rogue quest, primordial drake, stonehill defender.... the list goes on and on.
Remember when he theorycrafted the best quest rogue deck, the one that later everyone used and said it will never be played?
He's still very smart,but nobody can be 100%
Remember that he didn't craft the best rogue quest deck. He talked trash about the best possible rogue quest deck for weeks then copied someone else who DID make the best rogue quest deck but then he tried to take credit for it so he can try to look as a success.
Trump has NEVER made any deck and all the decks he designed were garbage. He always copies someone else deck and claims credit for it from believers like you who believe he had the "smarts" to create it. Trump is the same man who said for weeks that the best card in Un'goro was the 3 mana 4/8 can't attack plant and he argued with people for a whole month saying un'goro was trash.
Its funny but he has an amazing record about being 100% wrong about cards so far.
Trump sucks...end of story. Wish they would stop posting stuff so he will go away. Tuck Frump
If you two idiots think that Trump actualy thinks that all of these decks will be good or meta, than you are a lot more stupid than you think Trump is.
Seeing as the last 3 expansions, Trump was wrong on nearly everything on both card ratings and theorycrafting (giving Patches a 2 star is the best highlight ever), you better not start crafting cards for this.
Also, missing Arfus
Edit: genericuser1 rectified me, Trump gave Patches a 5 star rating.
That is just a lie. He gave Patches 5 stars. Can't believe how many upvotes this has.
Just watch any "Trump reviews Trump reviews..."
Haters gonna hate... Maybe a lot of salty Kripp fanboys here.
From Journey to Un'goro alone, he gave the following cards a wrong rating.
Jungle Giants - 4 stars
Tortollan Forager - 4 stars
Elder Longneck - 3 stars
Living Mana - 1 star
Giant Anaconda - 1 star
The Marsh Queen - 5 stars
Raptor Hatchling - 5 stars (although this was probably with the Marsh Queen in mind)
Tol'vir Warden - 5 stars (again, see The Marsh Queen above)
Arcanologist - 3 stars
Steam Surger - 4 stars
Primordial Glyph - 2 stars
Hydrologist - 3 stars
Spikeridged Steed - 3 stars
Sunkeeper Tarim - 2 stars
Every priest card from Un'goro - 1 star (here comes the Priest review of him that he simply state that priest won't see play, so he rates everything 1 star. Jokes on him).
Yes, even Lyra the Sunshard he rated 1 star.
Are those enough examples or do I need to keep going?
