StrifeCro you should try a deck I made before standard comes out. You play Raptor Rogue in the early game, with more one drops like Lepper Gnome and the 2/1 pirate that has charge when you have a weapon equipped. After you go face with cards like eviscerate and cold blood. You use Assasin's Blade in combination with deadly poison, and you end up with a deck very similar to aggro shaman but cooler because it has Unearthed Raptor.
cool i've tried to make a slower tempo mage including rhonin because he's just awkward to fit in a fast tempo deck.
and I used to love playing the dragon mage. anyway I haven't watch this vid yet but may give it a try
sad to hear that you didnt make it through preliminaries, you said your matches weren't streamed but are they recorded anywhere?
ITS NOT GONNA DUPLICATE BOOMBOTS !
Go on the hearthstone science channel and you gonna see im right
18:10 I'VE GOT THE STREAM IN MY SIGHTS ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ·︻̷̿┻̿═━一
有點香又不太香
At like 14:30 when he played Ethereal, did he get a priest spell or Mage spell?
I'll probably craft Malygos when standard hits, but for now, what should I replace him with? I'm thinking Antonidas or Alexstrasza.
This is just a refined version of Noxious' deck…
Even if you duplicate the Spellbender, if you had Elise it wouldn't be a problem.
Miss lethal at 7:11
You should ping your own boombot x)
But no matter ^^
Always good to see someone would play original and creative decks over no brainer decks like secret pally/zoo/face shaman/combo druid…good job.
I would love to see your take on a control oriented Rogue deck. I've been trying to make that work for a while with limited success and would be very interested in seeing how you would approach adapting Rogue's tempo oriented cards to a controlling playstyle.
Nice deck
7:15 miss lethal gg wp
spellbender would actually be really good against entomb, even better than counter spell except in a fatigue match which the second match probably isn't
Priest entombs Conjurer -> plays Conjurer -> gets Entomb
Infinite Value!
Why are Shammans using Flame Jugglers, which streamer fooled the internet again?
Kolento I thought you were straight but this deck is so nuts you have to be gay
Get it
I'd love to see more of this deck.
The first game against face shaman you gained 30 HP, and proc'ed iceblock. Not to mention the turn 8 ( 4:44 ) bran + antique healbot combo was disgusting. Still the face shaman was one turn off of winning. Although it's true he got lifetap turn 1, it just goes to show how scary the deck is.
Control Mage winning versus "the nightmare" (Secret Paladin) and he lose versus the "old and extinct" Midrange Paladin
StrifeCro fisted himself ^.^ ^.^
The shaman almost killed him through 24 healing… That's disgusting.
Have you thought of archmage instead dr boom?
Malygos won't accomplish anything in the deck, it is hard to pull off and ends being a dead card in most matchups. I would play Rafaam or Archmage instead… or even Nefarian
Тупоголовая колода. 0-5 проигрышей… Друиды просто разрывают….
brs?
pretty awesome deck! good job!
When the aggro shaman well played after the lava burst HAHAHAHAHAH FUCK YOU aggro fuck
I enjoy the innovative deck buildings but these winconditions are few and kinda weak and very dependant on getting 0 cost missiles, frost bolts and/or icelances. I am really not a fan of the malygos purely because of the 9 mana cost. more cards draw and you could try the 4 mana 3/5 inspire gain spelldamage for a solid midrange minion I stead of malygos
Strifecro, i tried on your tempo mage and it was absolutly awesome. Went from rank 14 to rank 4 in under 2,5h last night but i wanted to get your opinion on what i can replace Flamewaker with? I havent unlocked all wings to get that card. I added one more secret and one low cost minion instead of two flamewakers but should i just go knifejugglers instead? Or bring it up one more mana and add water elementals instead?
That shaman thought he had you, lol
Is Malygos replaceable?
Plz upload more, love the deck!
damn at 18:30 I was so sad to see the Rhonin entombed, my god that 8 mana Malygos with triple arcane missiles would have been glorious
I love these super interactive decks.
deck is bad…
bet you wish you brought polymorph for tirion
For this list I'd really consider adding a Kirin Tor Mage, because of how many secrets you wind up getting from Scarabs and Conjurer. Pulling secrets from the deck with Scientist is less urgent of a need than dumping them from your hand, for this sort of build. -1 Mad Scientist, +1 Kirin Tor Mage.
Vs. that priest, the 2nd Scientist stuck around in the hand from turn 1 until the end of the game, never acknowledged. Kirin Tor would've made that awkward turn 6 way smoother. Plus, Kirin Tor is a way better duplicate target than Scientist is.
Just want to share my experience with playing 2x Scarab, 2x Conjurer lists. My builds are admittedly more draw-crazy (I put Coldlight in everything), so pulling secrets from the deck is a bigger priority here, I'll grant ya.
I really don't like the Malygos in this deck. There's the potential for Frostbolt/Ice Lance shenanigans, but you mostly need Frostbolts for control; you're not freeze mage. I'd cut the Malygos for another Ethereal Conjurer for sure; you'll still have burst, but no dead cards.
just a bad version of maly freeze mage
