4th September update: Duwin's Hadronox Taunt Druid ft. Guardian Animals (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Taunts (Hadronox). Deathrattles (N'Zoth). Beasts (Guardian Animals). Another cool deck from Duwin.

Duwin's top tips:

- Save naturalize for Hadronox, especially against Reno decks.

- Only play Biology Project if you plan to use the extra crystal that turn or next turn - e.g. Hadronox and Naturalize on turn 9, or Guardian Animals on Turn 6?

- Branching Paths can help you push lethal, so don’t throw them away.

30th August update: Heatfireash's WILD Big Warrior: Rag never misses face! (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Commencement feels like a massive boost for Big Warrior. Although, sometimes Woecleaver is all you need! (or a Rag to the face...)

Reno N'Zoth Hunter - thanks to Duwin for the deck (https://twitter.com/DuwinHS). Turns out King Krush is great against Reno Priest. Sylvanas is great against Cubelock :-)
Oh, and it is a DUWIN deck. That means it is awesome.

23rd August update: Boltzmann's Reno Quest Shudderwock Shaman (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Shudderwock Shaman :-) It's back! Thanks to Boltzmann (https://twitter.com/boltzmann2718) for the deck.
This deck excels against aggro, as you can see from the first two games. How would we fair against a Reno Priest?

2:20 Vs Darkglare Warlock
8:41 Vs Mech Paladin
12:52 Vs Reno Priest ft. Prince Keleseth?!
27:00 "My jaws that bite, my claws that catch" :-)

22nd August update: Evildevil's Beast Jade Druid Part 2: Mindrender OP? (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Part 2 of our showcase on Evildevil's Beast Jade Druid. Whilst Yogg didn't go off in any of these games, the final game against Reno Quest N'Zoth Priest was fun. I forgot Mindrender exists in Reno Priest!

21st August update: Evildevil's Beast Jade Druid Part 1: Praise Yogg!!! (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Jade Idols. Beasts. Ysera, Unleashed. Yogg-Saron. What a beautiful deck. I am loving this deck so much, I have split the content across two videos.

In this video, we take on a Demon Hunter, Secrets Paladin and Secrets Mill Rogue. That last game against the Rogue was the strangest game of Hearthstone I have played this year! The winning play was most satisfying.

5:02 vs Demon Hunter

13:26 vs Secrets Paladin

16:35 vs Secrets Mill Rogue

Sunday bonus video - time to try out Odd Rogue. Thanks to Faguoren (https://twitter.com/FAGUOREN_) for the deck! Turns out Loatheb is pretty good :) Also, turns out Odd Rogue still works...

15th August: GetMeowth's WILD Egg Hunter ft. Bloated Python & Vectus (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Egg Hunter has some cool new tools. Very refreshing! When you play Hearthstone after midnight, making good plays is hard :-) Do excuse the bad trades that I was making... Vectus seems good in this deck. Teron Gorefiend is spectacular in this deck! Thanks to GetMeowth for the deck (https://twitter.com/GetMeowth).

14th August update: ZelKnow's Discardlock to Legend: Loatheb is Awesome (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Misplaying my way to Legend in the August season. I kept moving between ranks 1 and 2 on the Diamond ladder, until Discardlock boosted me through Rank 1. Loatheb was incredibly useful, particularly against Quest Mage.

The final game against the Quest Mage was weird. I misplayed significantly towards the end? - but still managed to sneak out a win. Hmmm. The consequence of having no sleep the night before and then trying to play in the morning!

I remember a few months back, I was discussing with a friend how Discardlock needed to make a comeback. It was still a deck played on the fringes, not having any major acceptance. Now, the deck is seeing lots of play. That's not a bad thing!

13th August update: LordXav's Leoroxx Burst Reno Hunter ft. King Krush (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Reno Hunter with beasts! Late game damage from Dinotamer Brann and Shan'do Wildclaw is a nice finisher.
Also, Leoroxx putting out King Krush and Charged Devilsaur (or any other big beasts generated by Deathstalker Rexxar) is significant.

9th August update: Hijo's WILD Jade Druid: A tale of terrible tragedy! (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Barnes and Kael'thas shenanigans. Barnes means there is no room for Ysera Unleashed in this deck. That makes me slightly sad :-)
Overall though, another fun Jade Druid deck! Thanks to Hijo (https://twitter.com/HIJO_HS).

8th August update: RenoJackson's WILD Odd Mage ft. Ras Frostwhisper (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

The second deck that I played for the Scholomance expansion. Odd Mage with some cool new cards.
In summary: Spell damage. Flamewakers. Antonidas (who never saw play).
A surprisingly effective deck that really wins games! Oh and Ras Frostwhisper has potential in my opinion.

Taunt value. Deathrattle value. Reborn value. Satyr value. Taking on a Mage meta! Thanks to Knoepklapper for the deck (https://twitter.com/Knoepklapper_HS).

My first deck played for the Scholomance Academy expansion.

2nd August update: Memnarch's WILD Even Shaman: Journey to Legend / The Lurker Below is glorious! (1080p)

Last minute legend in the July 2020 season - Thanks to Memnarch's Even Shaman. (https://twitter.com/MemnarchHs/status/1289459476123144194).

Really enjoying playing The Lurker Below - I suppose board positioning really matters if trying to play around it. Deck code: AAEBAaoIBM30AqH4AualA5PCAw3TAb4G1g+yFLUU+6oCoLYC9r0ClO8CnaMD2qUD+aUDrK0DAA==

1st August update: KilleRacoon's Big Priest ft. Kel'Thuzad: No Barnes? Renew is good! (1080p)

I don't think I have ever published a Big Priest video. So why not give it a try? :-) This deck does not run Barnes. Running Kel'Thuzad seems greedy - but is a lot of fun - as you can see from the first highlight. KilleRacoon was able to get legend with this list.

Big Priest is certainly not as oppressive as it used to be.

Librams. My first experience with them. Thanks to RegisKillbin for this deck (https://twitter.com/RegisKillbin).
This particular version of Pure Paladin has allowed me to beat Priests. Priests are tough to outlast on Standard mode!

25th July update: ChristianHS WILD Big Dragon Rogue: Nozdormu? Nefarian? Ysera? Chromaggus? (1080p)

Big dragons cheated out early? Excellent! Just need to remember that Necrium Apothecary is a combo card!

How often are you likely to pull off your big combo? More often than you would think!

Thanks to Christian Hearthstone for the deck. More footage of this deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26tplvmglVo

18th July update: Dane’s WILD Egg Hat Hunter ft. Deathstalker Rexxar (1080p)

Today's deck features Dane’s Egg Hat Hunter –with the addition of Deathstaker Rexxar.
This deck has done surprisingly well for me – beating a Pirate Warrior and Reno Dragon Priest! Feign Death feels strong.

I added Deathstalker Rexxar to the deck. Why? Is it because:
1) He has the best emotes?
2) I have him in golden form?
3) The beast generation lets you last the long game against slow decks?

Probably a mixture of all 3 reasons! A fun deck overall, that is different to anything else that is out there on the ladder.
