This deck is a twist on a common variation of shudderwock and cthun decks, instead of buffing cthun it focuses on a select few legendaries like prince kelseth and prince valanar, health doubling from faceless lurker, and most importantly; the 10+ damage from omega defender to create an unfeeling unloving wall of death. It is dependent upon the new shaman quest to really make use of these battlecries. Prince kelseth and the mist walker buff cthun and shudder, increasing their damage from cthuns battlecry, but even better is that they buff cards like doppelgängster and faceless lurker to create crazy 7 mana plays with minimal setup like a 5/20 taunt or 5 4/4s, or you can manually pick to buff and add another tick of their battlecry with bog shaper to create a 7/28 taunt or 5 6/6s, between these synergistic plays And cards that appreciate in time like blubber Barron (who gains +1/+1 each time you summon a battlecry, gaining +3/+3 from vanilla doppel or +5/+5 when doppels bc is doubled, same with shudder wock, meaning if kept and you’re forced to shudder early you’ll most likely end up having a 3 cost 30/30 to clean up with) and hagathas scheme which is a good board wipe and not that harmful as most of the creatures in this deck are more for being traded into and adding their battlecry to shudders arsenal. The antique heal bots add unmatched healing for a common after you finish your quest, and healing rain is a cheap heal early for Aggro decks. Electra stormsurge either acts as another healing rain, a cheaper and worse volcano, or a much better hagathas scheme allowing you to double it so damage for 3 mana whereas drawing a scheme or using archmage vargoth would only trigger one damage from hagathas scheme. Whether you get kelseth early and you’re ahead of the curve or you get him late and use your quest reward to double his effectiveness he’s a better help in this deck than most. This deck isn’t the most efficient, it’s not the fastest, it’s not the most clever, you might get bad draw and lose before turn 10 or face an aggro deck and not get the hagathas schemes you need. But I promise you if you try this deck (or at least the closest you can without dusting every legendary in your other classes {I regret nothing [but hypothetically if I did I’d say kelseth valanar and Zola are unnecessary and there are good 2 cost, 4 cost and minion return cards you can easily use]}) you will have fun in a different way than most decks and nothing is more beautiful than watching shudder hit 50/3000, gain lifesteal and taunt, summon 6 copies of itself, and then blast 50 damage across the board. There are a few flaws in this plan, like having to draw omega defender before making use of valanar, or having to wait to play emperor thaurisan until you have shudder in your hand to make it compatible with your battlecry doubler, but I find I still have fun playing a match that seems close, only to see someone realize that everything they saw up until shudder was me just trying to stay alive and the fact that they couldn’t kill the bodies of battlecry minions that were simply waste from setting up for the wock. (Hint: it’s like sex, drugs, and watching someone else mill a shudderwock combined) there just so much to tell about this deck and it’s synergy, whether you can play kelseth and mist walker more than once, or whether you double their battlecry with the quest reward, having them all played again with shudderwock leads to everything in your deck remaining when you play shudder becoming over 10/10. The only card in this deck that isn’t carrying its weight in some way is lone champion, a relic from before I added prince balance and I also ran nesting roc for the guaranteed taunt. But if you don’t have valanar then those two might be good to look at. And in the same vein if you don’t have it don’t want to run kelseth than echoing ooze is lovely because if rng screws you snd grumble battlecry plays after doppelgangster you’ll still have 3-4 shudders after you end your turn with the final shudders boosted stats, and echoing ooze is a good early card to play especially with bog shaper for a good turn 2-turn 3 combo
P.S. and of course not everyone is a crazy sadist like me so feel free to put another sludge slurper for a faster quest completion or swapping valanar for some life drinkers and another omega defender. There are plenty of tweaks to be made and lots of fun to be had with this. You wouldn’t understand until you blazing invocation into a kookie chemist and one of your 50/3000 shudderwocks becomes a 3000/50, so get to it scrub and go ruin someone’s day
P.P.S yah of by the way when shudder gains lifesteal and cthun battlecry goes off at 50 damage it takes a little while for each tick to heal you so also if you wanna screw someone over like this go for it
P.P.P.S sorry for the ramble, first time uploading a deck I’ve just been a fan of shudder wock since it came out and I’ve always wanted to see the extremes of his ability, so maybe the classic doppel (or old chaingang effect) grumble 1 cost shudderwocks are kinda useless when everything starts dying the second you play shudder wock, but Jesus is it fun to watch
P.P.P.P.S. Sorry if this is s confusing read or you don’t understand, you’d have to be intimate with shudder wock or just be as batshit crazy as me, and already have shudderwock and grumble to even make this a viable dust effective deck to build
P.P.P.P.S. If you do play this deck and you decide it must be destroyed along with its creator i totally understand I kinda had it coming, but…. but I had to know… I had to see! I.. I… I have become death, destroyer of worlds.
