Five Exciting Witchwood Decklists From Hearthstone Pros
The new expansion has arrived and we're seeing some awesome decks being created from the community. In our first deck spotlight of the new expansion, we're checking out what some of Hearthstone's pros are playing. If you've had success with any new decks, tell us more about them in the comments and be sure to add the deck to our site via the deckbuilder. Bonus points to those who write a guide!
Savjz' Shudderwock OTK Shaman
Variants are really popular right now and there's a lot of people calling for nerfs already. If you picked up Shudderwock, you should definitely play with it, just maybe not on a break because the games are crazy long.

Zetalot's Odd-Cost Chameleos Buff Priest
It would be a crime to not showcase a Priest deck from Zetalot! Lots of buffing action in this deck along with some sneaky stealing Priests are known for.

Kibler's Toki & Arugal Elemental Mage
Elemental Mage gets a buff with Archmage Arugal's duplication thanks to the heavy use of minions. Toki, Time-Tinker also makes an appearance, for fun really, and could easily be replaced with just about anything. I wouldn't get rid of Frost Lich Jaina though, so you'll want her if you're going in!

Mr. Yagut's Tempo Rogue w/ Tess & Face Collector
Mr. Yagut has been playing this deck and slight variations up at the high end of Legend with success. Lots of playing cards from your opponent's class can be expected with the inclusion of Tess Greymane, it's a definitely a deck worth checking out and it may even be competitive!

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)It was fun discovering Shudderwok, Life Drinker, Saronite, and Grumble on my own. The shell I built around it (Twilight Drakes, Novice Engineers, Bone Mares etc.) wasn't super consistent, but fun. Once I hit the combo for the first time though, it was clear to me last night that it was already busted beyond belief even in my amateur deck. Savjz's already looks way better, and it's still probably several degrees away from optimal. Something will have to be done about Shudderwok or Grumble. Zola on a Saronited Shudderwok or a copy in the deck through Banker are fair ways to get copies, but 1-mana Shudderwok can't be a thing going forward. I don't remember Patron being solved as quickly as this. I've also been playing around with mid-range Rush Warrior and having fun even though Warlock is just a terrible matchup.

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)Anyone could figure that out, they showed most of that in the reveal stream, just not lifedrinker and grumble but even I realised that, it was an obvious combo.

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)fun to play aggro style mage . but needs setup on turn 1-3 mana wyrms , turn 4 is where you start your vex crow.
arugal+ aluneth in turn 8 if need to dup your minions.to replenish ur board ussually they might hit by aoe .
keysmith , depends on situation counterspell and explosive runes are good.
slow opponents board with 3 skills , Nova, Cone, Blizz .
same old style kill burn at ending if no more minions left.

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)Ah, so this is why I've only seen these EXACT 5 decks on ladder so far. Not one single list have I faced that hasn't been a carbon copy of one of these decks. Well done. At least I'm playing something different.

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)I agree haha. Out of 30 games yesterday, I played 12 paladins and 12 cubelocks. And the cubelocks still rope every time despite having played the same deck for a couple months -.-
As frustrating as it is to see the same classes, I'm at least happy the paladins quickly put Shudderwock shamans in their place haha. The first game I played was against Shudderwock shaman, and it was sooo annoying. I can't believe the Shudderwocks multiply their battlecries (so that the battlecries are doubled every time they're played =/ )

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)Hearthstone's community in a nutshell. Hearthpwn in a nutshell.
They bitch about that card, whine about this expansion, moan about that mechanic over yonder, but at the end of the day, most folks have zero imagination and zero capacity for strategic thinking to the point where they'll just outright netdeck the very shit they were complaining about an hour ago.

Posted Apr 13, 2018 (Witchwood)@WhiskyGeorge, When Jade Druid became so hated, the community realized that they could whine as much as they wanted about a deck and everyone else would follow.
Weeeeehhhh, Razakus Priest is overpowered.
Weeehhhhh, Cubelock OP af.
I agree, they bitch non-stop every time there's a new change in the meta. If ya'll hate the ladder and game so fucking much, just stop playing already, why complain 24/7 on the forums and Reddit?
