Theorycrafting Livestreams Recap with Decklists
Thursday saw a Livestream event, first from Blizzard HQ, later from all around the world, where streamers could play with the new Saviors of Uldum cards, and try and build all the new theorycrafted decks as well as compete with them against other theorycrafted decks.
Many cool things happened, but our favorite moment came when Alliestrasza, playing Rogue, managed to play a board full of Mogu Cultist summoning Highkeeper Ra and then COPIED the Highkeeper to her deck several times. Sadly this wasn't enough to win, because her opponent, Dekkster, was playing a Paladin Highlander deck with Sir Finley of the Sands which had given him an upgraded Warrior Hero Power, which had lead to him having full health plus some 40 armor. Maybe it will work next time!
Here's some of the decklists we saw used by your favourite streamers, some for the memes, and some really strong:
Kripparrian:
This deck revolves around getting High Priest Amet out, buffing him, playing Boar, Topsy Turvying him and hitting face. Watch it in action!

Alliestrasza:
Alliestrasza didn't just meme it up with the Mogu Cultist deck, she played this Big Dragon Mage too, which lead to some hilarious Yogg's Puzzlebox turns.

TrumpSC:
A Highlander deck with 2 copies of a card?! Yep, not an accident! Trump says he expects about a 70% chance that by the time he could play Dinotamer Brann, he would have already drawn one of the Hyena Alpha's. Watch gameplay footage and see if his bold strategies pay off!

Slysssa:
Slysssa brought a more no-nonsense approach to the Theorycraft Livestreams (while wearing a Murloc hoodie) and played this Quest Shaman deck. Once the quest is complete you can bring some serious face damage in a hurry. Watch this strong deck in action!

RegisKillbin:
RegisKillbin was perhaps the most prolific in trying out new decks, and one of the things he spent some time trying to pull off was the Linecracker + BEEEES!!! combo. And he actually succeeded, 80 damage to the face!

Dekkster:
For our last deck today we bring you Dekkster's Quest Burgle Tess Rogue. It wasn't just a fun deck, it was downright unfair sometimes. Copying 12 Tess's into your deck shouldn't be allowed (according to his opponents). Watch that and more unfold on his stream from yesterday!

There were many streamers just playing some fun silly decks to try out the different cards. Unfortunately this article decided those decks weren't worth mentioning in favor of other decks.
