It's ~17 hours for the next expansion to hit us like a brick, so what last-minute, fun decks do you guys have? Post stuff you're playing with, that uses some of the cards you love the most that are being rotated out.
Mine is a full-on Thief Rogue, and it does surprisingly well.
Sometimes I feel like I'm onto something, but am a crappy deckbuilder myself or lack the cards. So, I call forward all of you skilled players to mess around with good ol' Spiteful Summoner. I played some games with spiteful priest and King Phaoris was a nasty addition to hit those big spells we draw early. Especially, try a Khadgar with Spiteful. Maybe... highlander spiteful mage?!
Spitefull Summoner can be played in two types of decks:
1) Deck that want to play a high number of high cost spells where you do not have to change the deck to make Spitefull strong (example: big spell mage, some reno mage) 2) Deck that can't play that many spells because their strategy is heavily minion based, so that they won't need to cut that much low cost spell to add a spitefull summoner engine (example: Dragon Priest, my quest hunter, some anyfin paladins).
The first condition is something about Mage and other late game high spell class like druid. The second can apply to any class that has at least 2 big usefull spell and that has some archetypes minion-based with a good curve. Remember that Spitefull Summoner is a midrange card, very good if dropped on curve to substain your gameplay.
Spiteful Engines possible:
DRUID: ultimate infestation, tree of life, gift of the wild, the forest's aid, overflow, wisp of the Old Gods, HUNTER: call of the wild, crushing walls, Flark's Boomzoka MAGE: pyroblast, Puzzle box of Yogg-Saron, power of creation, glacial mysteries, firelands portal, flamestrike, Greater Arcane Missles PALADIN: Anyfin can happen, dinosize, tip the scales, lay on hands, kangor's endless army, a new challenger, PRIEST: mind control, plague of death, mass resurrection, Zerek's cloning gallery, free from amber, diamond spellstone, psichyc scream ROGUE: sprint SHAMAN: everyfin is awesome, sapphire spellstone, earthquake, WARLOCK: DOOM!, demonbolt, twisting nether, void contract, WARRIOR: dimensional ripper, the boomship, crush, mithril spellstone
This shows that every class but Shaman and Rogue can play a Spiteful Engine.
That is a deck that performs better then you think. I still think that if you don't mind about high legend, you can play almost anything. Often if the meta is right, the surprise element helps more then you think.
However, as you said, Mage is the best class for Spitefull. I have 2 lists on my device, I'll post it if you like.
Not in Wild: Spiteful decks are viable if you like, but don't expect to compete with top tier decks. Spiteful is just too slow, and quite inconsistent too. And not having small spells generally means your swing capabilities are quite bad, so gl with any Aggro or Tempo deck. Phaoris is stronger but also slower. At that point you should include a stronger wincon in your deck instead.
On a sidenote that links to BSM, Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is an insanely strong card, basically a Yogg that can be tutored, copied and repeated.
Yeah, it's not going to be that consistent but damn it's fun. Also, as much as there low-rolls, there's a bunch of really high ones. Getting that new 10/10 with divine shield and reborn on turn 6 really took people by surprise when I played it.
Also, Synesthey, please do post it, I'd like to give it a try ^^

Exactly, guys! I think you could do a resurrect-like deathrattle priest. Complete Obelisk first and then use twilight's call and all that stuff for the second. I think you could throw in a coffin crasher to bring those Obsidian Statues early on. Also, I think you could tinker more with that Reno Priest, instantly completing the quest while also healing for full might be pretty darn crazy.
Daaamn now I'm hyped to see double-quests for all classes... Leave it down below if you come up with something!
So did anyone try double quests yet? I know you can't use 2 at the same time, but what if you mulligan one away? For example, you could use Raid The Sky Temple and Waygate's. First complete Sky Temple, in wild it should be quite easy, then you find the other quest as a second win-con. Or something like that.
Also, you could complete Hunter's first quest and then throw an Unseal The Vault. I dunno. Just think of the p o s s i b i l i t i e s.
Hey, this seems really fun! But I'm lacking Luna's and Reno, how can I replace it? Also, is a favorite button going to be implemented? As I get more cards I like to visit some stuff I liked in the past.
Hmmm... Druids raising a gigantic barrier called the Scarab Wall..... were did I see this before?...
Jokes aside, great article as always, it's awesome to finally learn all of this amazing lore!
Done.

You go first
I think the best approach is a Control deck, and some way to give the Sporelings rush, like the new augmerchants
Ah yes, we're waving goodbye to this nice boi. He was my go-to deck for gold quests I didn't have a deck for, like warlock.
He'll certainly be missed.

Hmm, I dunno. This expansion has been pretty neat overall. I actually had a blast watching the trailer, it was top-notch stuff.

Ha, that's an easy one. Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is definitely entering my casino mage's builds.
Done.
But damn! 22k dust... I wish I had that much, this seems to be so much fun
Done.
