Cyberyeti Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Shifter Zerus is kind of fun, it was the first legendary I opened of the set (the second was Nat, the Darkfisher :(). You can cram it in control decks and it creates some funny moments eventually. Not a good card by any stretch. Zerus won me a tavern brawl last night, thanks for the BGH. Was also the first legendary I opened from this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Mmmm is 4 swipes too many swipes for arena? It was a long time ago now, but back in classic I drafted a deck with 7(!!!) Swipes. From memory I got 4 pretty early in the draft so I managed to pickup a few +spellpower cards to supplement them. I was pretty skeptical, but the experiment ended at 12-1 from memory.

Antrax Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Back during Naxx or something, I had a friend who drafted 7 flamestrikes. I was watching him and told him it's too many (it's more expensive and more situational than swipe). He still went 12, many games won by back to back flamestrikes, dropping something, then flamestriking and hitting face repeatedly. I think it's really hard to gauge how good or bad multiple copies of spells can be. When you have enough copies of something, you can start making plays assuming you'll have it when you need it, which makes your tactical plays (trade or go face) tighter. On the other hand, there are possible "death hands" for you to draw, mull 3 flamestrikes into 3 flamestrikes and gg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 with 4 swipes I managed to draw none after I had 12 cards left, not a success :) My 2 flamestrike run agains shaman... I got no flamestrike with 7 cards left, but my opponent got stealthought from my spellbender and cleaned my board with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Drew N'zoth and playing a deck with Fandral, N'Zoth, Cayrne and Sylvannas. When it works it really works well. The only thing that beats it is brawl, very agro, or bad draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Or getting your deathrattles Hexed, entombed or stolen with sylvannas. I'm playing a bog-standard N'Zoth warrior now and am still figuring out the midrange shaman match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I solved that problem to some extent adding a corrupted healbot, so I have more big deathrattle minions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Corrupted Healbot is a really good card I've been unable to make work in any deck I tried to fit it in :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 WotOG is pretty fun. Been playing pretty much only standard constructed, it's nice that there is no single meta defining deck at the moment, gives the game a lot more variety.

phoenix214 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 For anyone trying to play Tavern Brawl - priest is the bomb. So many good cards to use - Mindgames, thoughsteal, Lightbomb, Convert?? And the games are quite fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 For anyone trying to play Tavern Brawl - priest is the bomb. So many good cards to use - Mindgames, thoughsteal, Lightbomb, Convert?? And the games are quite fast So far 100% of players who dropped Alextrazsa at turn 1 have won, me or opponent. Priest is very good for this, the bigger of the two power words, entomb as well, being able to faceless opp's big critter, convert it then blow it up with the PW is cool.

Antrax Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I really dislike this brawl, as I do all brawls with a strong OTK potential. Played a freeze mage variant, drew T1 Alex, see you next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix214 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I forgot about alex at that point in time - I think it is a cool brawl still - just make it so that Alex does not exist in it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Opened Cairne today... only 5600 dust to go before I can play N'Zoth Paladin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Opened Cairne today... only 5600 dust to go before I can play N'Zoth Paladin!IMO rogue is the best nzoth variant at the moment, but none is particularly strong. Dislike the unreliability of nzoth paladin in even its 'good' matchups. Cairne is pretty nice anyway in a warrior meta though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Tossing N'Zoth into CW seems to work fine. I played the version with Chillmaw and now gravitated to a less greedy version that settles for bringing back Sylvannas and Cairne (which is btw also great against zoo and Shaman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Welp, I've been having a lot of fun with standard, but there where some things I've always wanted to do but couldn't. So I've crafted myself a pair of Deathlords and am now terrorizing rank 25 wild players with my Mill Rogue deck. Here we go! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wasting your scarce powder with common cards? I though deathlords came form naxxramas adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wasting your scarce powder with common cards? I though deathlords came form naxxramas adventure.Yes, exactly. Crafting is the only way to get them. (And they are rare, BTW, 100 dust each.) Turns out Mill Rogue is pretty frustrating to play, though. Had a freeze mage dead to rights after I responded to his Alexstraza with Brann + Healbot, but it turns out in Wild they still run Antonidas and both of my Coldlights were in the bottom 7 cards of my deck... The dust is not wasted though, wild Control Priest is up next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Turns out Mill Rogue is pretty frustrating to play-snip- both of my Coldlights were in the bottom 7 cards of my deck...Yeah, that's exactly the problem with the deck. You have so many ways to recycle the oracles, but no good way to find them, and usually you can't afford to hard-mull for them because there are no more "control only" classes like Warrior used to be.

Cyberyeti Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Been having fun with C'Thun rogue in the latest tavern brawl, being guaranteed to draw Twin emp at turn 7, Blade of C'Thun at turn 9 and C'Thun at turn 10 seems to work out rather nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Raging Worgen Warrior hasn't been working well lately, so I built a new deck.

Antrax Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 So your thing is janky otk decks? There's a pretty decent Miracle Druid list that catches a lot of people off-guard. You usually burst for 13 or 19 though, it's rare for you to go full OTK. 2x Innervate, Raven Idol, Wild Growth, Mire Keeper, Swipe, Wrath, Living Roots, Moonfire, Nourish, Jungle Moonkin, Azure Drake1x Starfall, Auctioneer, Fandral, Malygos, Emperor Thaurissan, Alexstrasza, Yogg Saron, Thalnos I don't have Fandral so I run Violet Teacher instead. You can mess around a bit if you're missing other legendaries, you could also run mulch in there, I've seen people run rag, that kind of stuff. You hard-mull for ramp basically, then cycle a lot, combo Moonkin with AoE to avoid taking damage and finally burst them with Malygos. As usual if things go south, Yogg's got your back.

mgoetze Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 So your thing is janky otk decks?Well, I think I like control best actually, but it's either too expensive or, well, Priest-tier. Control Priest is my most-played deck since I started keeping stats about a month ago, dat 48% winrate though... For your druid list, I'm missing not just Fandral but also Malygos, Alexstraza and Yogg so... yeah. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
