    1. Hot Spring Guardian is here for a heal and good taunt on curve against aggro matchups like Secret Mage or Odd Paladin etc. The reason why I don't play Secret Eaters in this deck is because it targets 1 matchup only and against other decks is just 4 mana 2/4 which feels terrible to drop at any point of game
    2. Running Novice Engineer and Coldlight Oracle may sound like an overkill until you bump into Kabal decks. Where you realise that the draw engines that you have are really important either it be for milling or recovering from the opponents Psychic Scream. This deck doesn't want to be too much in the late game because that's where Reno decks are superior. And in order to finish games faster you need a powerful draw engine
    3. It's not a mistake. My version is just Token/Bloodlust burst oriented but there are plenty versions out there which run on Evolve shell,Lifedrinker otk shell,Dragon Shell etc. I'm also not saying that my shell is the best. Keep in mind that I brewed it at the beggining of the expansion where people are experimenting and even my archievment with it on Legendary rank can be questionable due to me meeting favourable matchups etc

    Serpent Egg feels better to drop into Explosive Runes or eats 2 triggers of Cannon from Pirate Warrior. That's my reason behind it: It eats up damage in Aggro v Aggro

    November month 2019. A month where a lot of new content arrives into the game. And a month where Wild is more dead than ever

    Because of that I ask you,the players,the streamers and most importantly the developers to help and save the format which is not the most popular one but truly is the oldest one.

    There is no doubt that the format has amazingly big deck variety that Standard format can't even dream of. However. There's also no doubt that format has a lot of issues which drags the players away not only from Wild,but from the whole game:

    1.The SNIPlock

    There's a lot of controversy about this deck. There are some players that are cheating. There are some genuine players. Either way the deck causes amazingly huge frustration and Team 5 still haven't said a clear statement about this deck since the last ban wave. As it stands by now, the deck is one of the only deck in HS history which is placed in Tier S(same as AK47 Druid and Secret Mage at the beginning of Uldum). The deck revolves around certain combo strategies and has: Card draw of a Miracle deck. Clear of Control Warlock. Big boards of Big decks. And finishing force of Cubelock or Mechathunlock. All those traits make this extremely frustrating deck to play against and causes a lot of drama and headache for whole Wild community. It needs to be addressed. Even some clear statement about what is considered cheat and what not will be very helpful. The links below will provide you a closer information about this whole deck

    Tier S status

    2.The competitive scene of the format

    Due to the fact that there's only 1 official Wild tournament. The motivation of players to play Wild and spend money on packs is quite low. As it stands by now there were more streamer vs streamer single player tournaments than all oficial Wild tournaments combined.

    3.The card balance and nerfs regarding the Wild format:

    This topic was brought not so long time ago and remains unanswered. Wild experienced some really odd card changes and design policy. For anyone interested in closer approach,here is the link to he mentioned thread

    https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/dpd3it/we_need_more_communication_from_team_5_regarding/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

    All those points contribute to the lowering amount of Wild players which were staying in the game for Wild only. The format has amazing deck variety, astonishing community and streamers like Dane,Roffle,Solem or Control and is home for a lot of old players. It is truly heartbreaking to see the Wild in agony and lack of competitive tournaments and feedback. So I ask you for help and solutions. Spread the word and spread the information about Wild issues.

    I would like to end this post with a song which usually helps people to do CPR so we all have a a better chance at saving Wild.

    No problem).The OTK part is pretty tricky but reliably archievable. You will get used to it)

     

    About the Amara quest itself I will quote my response from above and add second point:

    1. Amara Quest takes up 1 spot in a mulligan which is quite important due to faster matchups and if you mulligan it away you have a dead draw in the future. In addition to that you have no way to complete the quest reliably without Nzoth outside of 4 Deathrattle minions,twilight call and second copy of twilight call from shadow visions. So the quest reward itself is pretty hard to archieve.

    2. Without the Amara you have already 3 big heal effects in form of Thalnos+Spirit Lash,Priest of the Feast+Cheap spells and Reno the Jackson. In addition to that you have small healing waves from Zephrys and Kazakus as well,espeacially when paired with Brann.

     

    As I said in my conclusion. This deck is even harder to play than usual Reno Priest but even more rewarding due to the fact that you have outs against every matchup. ^^

    Amara Nzoth Reno Priest is a good deck,however it is weaker than Combo Control varriation because of the aggro matchups. About the question if I considered adding Amara Quest and N'Zoth into this deck my answer is: Never. Amara Quest takes up 1 spot in a mulligan which is quite important due to faster matchups and if you mulligan it away you have a dead draw in the future. In addition to that you have no way to complete the quest reliably without Nzoth outside of 4 Deathrattle minions,twilight call and second copy of tqilight call from shadow visions. So the quest reward itself is pretty hard to archieve. Running Nzoth as lategame bomb in this particular build is suicidal. By looking at which minions you summon with him you will get a pretty clear picture: Hes not worth the spot in the deck.

    I havent quite understood your statements about this deck not being able to deal 30 damage since it's one of the winconditions of the deck. Oh well. Let's move to the Renowock matchup.

     

    Against Renowock you're aiming for OTK. Shadow Visions are often used for Psychic Scream since the more minions you shuffe into his deck,the less are the chances that he plays his Shudderwock combo. The Spawn OTK is reliable wincondition. It's the race who gets the combo first. You should be able to do it first since card draw and Psychic Scream. Also not only Arcbishop is the wincondition. The Spawn is tireggered trough cheap token generated spells like Coins or 1 mana Kazakus potions or trough cheap spells in the deck

    Yes Janalai is against slower decks and I will give you some examples why I kept this card in the deck and how she can be possibly replaced.

    So basically. She is against slower matchups meaning those are : Renolock,Reno Mage, Reno  Priest,Shudderwock battlecry decks,Reno decks in other classes,ocasional Big Priest,Arcibishop Priest,Odd Warrior,Big Shaman and others.

     

    Most of the time she has 3 ways how she can be played.

    1. Against other Kabal Reno decks: This is the race of you 2 who will have better Rat. Who will reach fatique faster. And who will clear the board and eventually either wins the board or outvalues the opponent. In toe to toe matchups like this Janalai is extremely powerful minion providing another Ragnaros in late game,which as I mentioned above is powerfull,improves your Kazakus ressurection pool and puts both proactive and reactive minion into play which has synergy with your DK form. At worst cases it helps you dodge the Rat meaning that more important minions like Brann,Zephrys or Kazakus are protected.

    2. Against so called outgrinders aka Odd Warrior or Arcibishop Priest: Those deck want to outgrind all the resources,greed and value that you have. Too bad for them, the deck is capable of winning trough huge boards as well. Janalai coming online in later stages of the game can be comboed with Brann or as standalone pushing more damage and demanding more answers from your opponent. 

    3. Anti Control decks like Shudderwock battlecry Shaman or Big Priest: Again. She can be  droped as standalone. Or she can be comboed with Brann to push 16 damage the turn she is played putting your opponent on the clock. Against Shudderwock Shamans this is crucial. Because against that deck you either Rat their Shudderwock,or you kill them before Shudderwock turn. You simply can't outvalue or kill him once the infinite Shudder chain starts going off. With the amount of clears and proactive plays that this Reno Mage offers you,you are becoming the aggressor and Shamans which usually don't run a big amount of healing(especially Jade variants) are forced to clear your board every turn. In a games like this, Freezing the opponents board with Atiesh equipped and going face or putting Janalai into play is the key to win.

     

    Those matchups are the reason why I kept her and I have no plans on replacing her. However,if you are unsatisfied with the results of this card there are some replacements which are definitely good. To name a few: Siamat aka slightly worse Zilliax but still good card. Dr. Boom which is okayish play on turn 7 and whose Boombots have synergy with Zilliax and Frostlich Hero Power. If you want to go into more value oriented approach, go for Malacrass or Barista Lynchen which are both good in Reno Mage or go for value and body which is Sindragosa(she used to be in older versions of the build)

    I agree that Saboteur is a good tech card but Rat has still more vertisality and is more relevant. Pulling out minions like Shudderwock or Elysianna is the thing which Saboteour can't do

    Hi)

     

    1. Janalai comes later in the game but the card is nuts. Frostlich synergy,Brann synergy,second Ragnaros to Kazakus ressurect pool is pretty good. The cards ads another pressure tool in Control v Control games which is crucial because we are winning trough becoming more powerful Big Priest in late game against Control. Not with Elysiana 

     

    2. Blast Wave is a good clear against aggro. The synergy with clears like Volcanic Potion or Explosive Sheep is huge as well. Also it enables Dragons Fury hitting 5 damage which is good option. In Control Vs Control its a way to generate resources and adds unexpetency moments because those resources are random. Aside from Odd Warrior matchup your hand floats around 6 cards so you will get your spells without overdrawing pretty consistently.

     

    3. Skulking Geist is necessary evil. Because yes in some matchups he is a weak 6 drop but in others he shines. Druid decks,Inner Fire Priest,Odd Warrior,Evolve Shaman,Miracle Quest Mage, all these decks hate this card.  You can replace him with Siamat but the matchups like Odd Warrior or Jade Druid will get harder. A lot.

     

    4. Medivh the Guradian is one of the more underrated legendaries overal. Because in some specific decks he shines a lot. For example in this one. Card is flexible and adds proactive element to your reactive plays like clearing the board. Atiesh has big variety of spells to work with from Secrets(eventually playing 3 drop an Secret is strong,ask some Secret Mage for clarification) to 10 mana Kazakus potions(which is enabling power play + random 10 drop to contest the board). You can replace him with something like Malacrass for more value however,I think he makes Proactive Reactive strategy far more viable.

    So I decided to make this thread since it can turn out to be pretty interesting. What are in your opinion unique decks of this game? I have few decks that just make me happy and satisfied when I play them because of their playstyle. Do you have any yours?

    Anyfin Paladin

    I just love this deck. Hear me out. Something which started as one of the first Control decks with Combo finishers is now by definition Aggro Combo deck with Control tools. The closest deck to this definiton was something Combo Control like prenerfed Patron Warrior. And the flavour is pretty neat too and summarizes Blizzards Paladin class identity pretty well. It has hordes of Murlocs,2 Giants, High Priest and Sunkeeper Tarim with DK Uther or Holy Ragnaros sprinkled on top.

    AAEBAZ8FBOAFucECjtMCzocDDfsBpwXjBfYHpwjcCuoP7Q/SFt/EAuPLAvjSAoT8AgA=

    Reno decks

    I know I know. Pretty generic inclusion but I still love the singleton decks. Because how they play out. Each game feels different and it has one of my most favourite legendaries attached to them from design and unque flavour perspective. You name it. Zephrys truly is great,Reno is amazing and something like Kazakus which literally lets you build your own spell are all amazing effects.

    AAEBAf0EHk2KAcAB9gLJA6sEywT4B/cN/A/DFoUXobcC6boC2LsC2bsCwcEC38QClscCoM4Cm9MC1+ECvuwCp/cCoIADpocDqIcD/KMDkqQDv6QDAAA=

    Singleplayerwock

    In 10% works every time. Hah. Seriously though. The abbility to just pull out the complete lockdown of your opponents cards,board and damage is extremely satisfying. Im glad those types of decks are not meta picks xD

    AAEBAaoICvkO+g6XwQLTxQLq5gKr5wLD6gLv9wKLigPsjAMKgQT+BbIGoLYC9r0C+b8Cx8EC8+cCpvACrZEDAA==

    Odd Rogue

    It might surprise someone. Such an Odd inclusion indeed. However I always enjoyed Tempo Rogue playstyle since the beggining and Odd Rogue is pure perfection of a Tempo Deck. You make use of your mana every turn. You punish your opponent for playing badly consistently and you have some buffs,heals, pressuring force etc. Really enjoyable deck if you like to play tempo decks.

    AAEBAYO6AgivBJsF+g6eEIUXkbwCnvgCoIADC8sD1AXzEZsVkrYCgcIC0eECpu8Cj5cDtZ8D9acDAA==

    And what decks are unique for you dear reader? Is it Kingsbane Rogue which has unique build around playstyle or is it something else? Let me hear your thoughts ^^

    I'm currently experimenting an I've cut these card and added those

    -Research project + Zephrys

    -Oooze + New Reno

    -Ice Barrier +Flame Ward

    -Soulcaster +Banker

    Sadly I dont have Siamat yet to experiment with but so far those changes were reaaaly good and pushed this reactive-proactive build quite a lot. You can expect the guide update in a few days ^^. Also i wouldt cut the Zilliac due to his powerlevel and Explosive Sheep Reno like effect when combined. He is really good.

    https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/3390-value-deathrattle-reno-druid

    ^ Purely value build of Reno Druid. If you like building walls this deck certainly does it. Astral Tiger is an interesting inclusion which allows you to not hit fatique ever and Floop is an amazing second N'Zoth or any other value bomb. Pretty solid theorycraft. New Elise is amazing cards since its a chepaer controlable Malacrass and she certainly enables even more value,heal or clear.

    https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/3392-reno-and-his-jurrasic-park

    ^ I dont know how viable is this compared to Deathrattle shell but it surely does have some neat comboes and burst damage. Aggro might be the biggest concern but the deck should win against Control and Combo pretty consistently. There are couple of finishers available and mana cheating is here as well.
