I love this deck! I'm at 70% winrate @ Rank 10-6 this season. It only loses to very greedy decks like Quest Shaman (not the murlocs!), Reno Mage, etc. It has pretty good game against Secret Mage( which is half the games in wild). Thanks for sharing!
I am glad you like it! You can also beat greedy decks sometimes, you just have to figure out how. I used to struggle with Renolock a lot, then I figured out that i just <snip> them with well timed Potion of Polymorph into his [Hearthstone Card (Void Caller) Not Found], and 5 mana Kazakus potion (polymorph) into his big demon later. Against Reno mages, I just try to go aggro as much as possible.
I have a similar deck in Wild that's doing well. I sadly don't even own a copy of Aluneth so I substituted Subject 9. And while there are a few other differences I think the most glaring are your lack of Cloud Prince and Ethereal Arcanist.
I agree, Cloud Prince is a must. I also added Barista Lynchen for some value. I did not really consider Subject 9, it might kill your other three cards that want you to have secrets in your deck.
Was this deck intended to compete seriously, or is it more of a 'for fun, and might win some games' deck? In my view it's suboptimal from the conceptual level and up, but obviously if it's more for fun than tryhard then that's irrelevant.
Well, first i tried to merge two archetypes for fun just because i can. I have updated the list later, will update here also. I would still not call it tryhard deck, more like "it works by accident".
EDIT: I'm kidding, that is not possible. But it would be great! Anyway, Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron created plenty of great moments for me. I played it a lot in highlander mage before the Luna's Pocket Galaxy nerf. There is nothing better to go full YOLO when everything else fails.
My holiday plans to reach legend in wild for the first time failed miserably. Made it to the rank 1***** like 5 times within one week, with my own deck. Did not manage to do win the last fkin game. Better luck next year i guess.
Blizz be like: Let\s butcher this because priest went out of garbage tier for 2 weeks! Meanwhile, let's leave agrro mech hunter bullshit as it was. Also, let's "nerf" control warrior.
Big priest will not care much. All the other classes that also played Barnes will get hit with collateral damage (rip big rogue). Change the 1/1 to be another minion (actor), and just copy the ability (deathrattle, battlecry, end of turn stuff, whatever is the card text, tribe, i do not care).
I don't think that it makes any change for control warrior. You just play it later. So what. Combination of the battle cry and rotating hero power is the problem. Not the mana cost.
Congratulations to winners! Dammit, now I have to preorder:) Anyway, I am happy that the codes went mostly to people with multiple posts on this site, and not just to people who registered just because of the giveaway.
Asked Flux about it yesterday and he hadn't drawn the winners yet. Haven't seen anything after that which would suggest otherwise. Don't worry, I will keep reminding(/complaining to) him about it.
And sorry about the lack of communication on the matter, I believe he's been super busy trying to get some fancy stuff ready for expansion release.
Hi Frosty.
Could someone at least state this bellow the article so people do not rage there? I was myself also refreshing the page several times a day because i was hoping for some news.
Hopefully Flux will draw the winners soon, i am waiting with the preorder until this giveaway is solved. Many others might be doing the same.
I do not want to talk trash about the card, it is amazing and I like it very much.
But it makes me wonder, maybe that Mind Blast went to HoF because of this. Can you imagine better finisher than that? And who knows, maybe Vanish also was HoFed because of that. These two might have been the pain in the ass for the algorythm while finding the perfect card.
These two were part of the basic set after all, right?

I play on both, screenshot is from mobile.
My favourite moment: Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron into Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron into Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron

All praise the great Yogg!
Not playable I guess, but it is still two fkin legendaries in one pack man! :) First time after 3 years of playing. Wohoo!![]()

What is this nonsense?

This was probably comming, but I would prefer to see the Mountain Giant hit instead of this. Hope it will still see play.
Aaand it is garbage again. Would be worth to try at 6 mana. I don't like this change.
I don't think that it makes any change for control warrior. You just play it later. So what. Combination of the battle cry and rotating hero power is the problem. Not the mana cost.
Time to craft Kazakus i guess. I like that it is similar to the current standard reno mage, i will give it a try for sure. Thanks!
And Luna's Pocket Galaxy
Did you consider running Heistbaron Togwaggle? You got Lackeys from EVIL Miscreants, you can even Shadowstep him for more of treasures.

They used summoned King Krush to trade a minion. Don't watch it. It is painful.
