Deck Description

Dog used this and the OTK Cube Demon Warlock to get #1 legend. He named this deck for @Rage_HS which likely means it was his list.

    Omfg. Most fun I've had since pre flurry nerf. Unstoppable. Thank you Dog.

    Any replacements for valeera the hollow?

    1. Bigplays

      Not really is a must for the deck to work

  3. Dod

    Remove the Hero card. You can easily kill yourself with fatigue. It's a god awful deck with Valeera.

    1. Shacal

      Nop, with kingsbane u can't fatigue yourself, copy it with valeera and play it every turn.

  4. Marvin

    Is evasion really necessary? it would be good if i replace it for another cheat death?

    1. charles

      it like saves you Health points. like some people puts prince 4 in mill rogue for the life steal. same as the three cost 3/3 heal 3.

    2. PTR

      It is mainly realy good against raza priests, i saw many players run 2 evasions. Its rly good card for this deck.

  5. juicemath

    I'm terrible with this deck, but it's so much fun to play. I'm hoping by game 50 i will have the hang of it.

  6. css09

    This deck is not fun to play against...which means it is probably fun to play and watch your opponent suffer! May have to try it just for that reason.

  7. DanTheMan

    is there a bit of a guide somewhere?
    I understand that i want to just buff the weapon,
    so do i muligan hard for coldight?

    and is there a decent replacement for doomerang?
    (i dusted mine once unfortunately)

    1. Scho3dl

      You could watch my gameplay if you want some kind of a guide. I changed it a little bit but that's just my personal preference.

      https://hsreplay.net/replay/gvob44wJCnzjxfqFMFg2xg#turn=5a

      If the other players are not playing aggressiv (in rare cases) i try not to show them coldight.
      But you will lose agains many aggro decks.
      And try to never overload yourself with cards. ^^

      1. DanTheMan

        thnx I really enjoy the deck, but not very good with aggro yea

  8. CocoAsticot

    Do you guys keep kingsbane in opening hand ??

    1. Me

      Ofcourse

  9. Lol

    This deck is soo fun to play and also really good! I hope it doesnt get nerfed too hard

  10. Lol

    Honestly my favorite expansion so far. A while ago, the meta was full of raza priest and jade druid, and now... rank 1 legend kingsbane MILL ROGUE?!?!

  11. darkfortunne

    how to play against jade druid? can't win of mill because of jade idols, should we run skulking geist if so what to replace with?

  12. Barack

    Dog actually got rank 1 mostly with control warlock. He was queuing this deck for a few seconds and if he didn't get a match he would swap to control warlock. The reasoning was that almost all of the players at the top were playing priest and this deck had a favorable matchup against priest. After a few seconds in queue without finding an opponent, the matchmaker looks for opponents at worse ranks (who weren't all playing priest). This deck struggles against aggro but beats control pretty easily. It is especially good against big priest because sap and vanish provide answers to their big minions without making them resurrectable.

  13. Bobo

    its really hard to rank with this deck....its super vs slow control decks (and it can still fail vs those too) but vs aggro it has really slim chances.....if you see hsreplay it shows it has a 40% winrate

  14. DanTheMan

    So there is a version on Hs replay that runs greenskin and two doomerang. That has the better wr.

    Anyone know who came up with this version and it's actually better than this or just easier to win with pirates on board for noobs?
    Thnx

  15. De4thWing

    Can any body explain how this deck does the OTK ? Thanks!

    1. Highball

      You buff up Kingsbane throughout the game. Then drop Brann and a bunch of coldlight to mill them. Then smack them with a 22 power weapon or something.

      It isn't an OTK like Beardo/Uther or Exodia Mage but it can kill them in one turn.

      1. Nope

        That's not how it works at all.

    2. Nope

      It's not an OTK deck. It's a mill/fatigue deck, you basically get of your Kingsbane weapons in your deck with Valeera which means that you'll never run out of cards. If you need further explanation reply to me.

      1. FakeDeath

        i want to make this deck but i am not sure if its really goood on ladder. i know that its not a good ladder deck its kind of fun but still would u recommend me to make that deck?

    3. MrMeme

      it's not an OTK, he goal is to burn ur opponents resoources and kill them with a buffed kingsbane while they fatigue.

  16. Justice

    This deck is a Dark Horse for the new TempoStorm metagame. I made the adjustments below, and it's been ok also versus Paladin, Hunter and Zoolock. Worst MU is Tempo Mage, but can't do anything against burn with a mill deck.

    -1 Doomerang
    -1 Edwin
    -1 Cheat Death

    +1 Bloodmage
    +2 Fan of Knives

    Also, I subbed in Naga Coursair instead of Squidface. Too easy of a target for silence removals, they play around it with Ooze, and the buff is too slow v aggro. I have not tried Greenskin in that slot, because I don't have one.

  17. Chriz2213

    Is van cleef necessary

  18. ElPablo

    Can I swap out Edwin for something? I feel like I already have to use alot of dust for most of the cards here

    1. Carl2Cards

      I'm trying Phantom Freebooter in place of van Cleef. At worst, you have a dagger from the previous turn and it's a 4/4 for 4. Later in the game, though, I can easily see it as an 8/6 or more. Not quite as good as van Cleef, but getting closer.

  19. DarthNay

    Can any1 say me what should i keep on muligan vs agro and vs control decks)

    1. Snufflux

      Against Aggro, mulligan for doomsayers, kingsbane or shinyfinder, edwin and backstab. Also, don’t be afraid to coin out a 4/4 edwin on turn 2 against Aggro. Having a somewhat large body on board that you can contest early on with can help later on. Another thing to keep in mind is to not feed them cards. Against Aggro you actually don’t really want to play your coldlight unless they have lethal on board and you can draw into something that will save you. Against control the only thing to really keep in mind is to save your cold lights until you can guarantee they will mill 2+ cards or you have a way to bounce it (shadowstep, vanish, etc.)

  20. ds1385

    @Evident would love to get a deck guide based on this one :)

  21. Wikator

    I really like this deck but Southsea squidface will go to the wild soon can anyone tell how can I replace him so I can play standard?

    1. Bobbo

      its freakin common card dood

    2. Bobbo

      its a freakin common card dood

    3. nuh

      when the rotation happens there may be new cards released too...

  22. Thurwell

    This beck beats absolutely nothing, control, raza, aggro, it's helpless. The only thing that makes sense is the comment where someone said Dog actually made rank #1 with legend and used this as a rare counter queue. It's just awful. There's 2000 dust wasted.

    1. Shichi

      Lol, you're just bad with the deck. Its very good against razakus, cubelock and other control decks. They cannot get rid of their hand fast and are easily milled. Generally ok against combo because you can easily burn essential combo pieces. The only real threat is aggro, still winnable though.

    2. nbderen

      no you just shit. the decks is good.

    3. Cheekychaise

      Yeah the deck sucks and that's why dog hit #1 legend with it...

  23. boyblue

    i just built this deck i'm having fun with it, i don't have Edwin but in place i used Sonya she is good to have but sometimes i feel that if i had Edwin i could do a little better but then i couldn't have the option of milling out my opponent by casting oracle many times, maybe having both would be good, idk though like i said i just built it, hopefully i get better but its hard to say because its a deck that suffers from misplays. but i also do tend to find myself mulling from a okay late game hand then mull into a really bad hand, idk how to avoid that any suggestions on how to survive with bad hands?

    1. rns

      I dont know but I have a question, Is kings bane required for this deck?

      1. CropDustr

        Absolutely. All of the weapon buffs in the deck are meant for it and at the end of the game it can stop you from taking fatigue and you can play it every turn if you still have your original hero power.

    2. abaddoncv

      Edwin give ur a chance vs aggro decks and dragopriest.im dont have Edwin and used Sonya too.Edwin better-trust.but Sonya may beat some decks.too many tips with sonya.

    3. SilentAssassin

      If you get the chance I suggest having both Sonya and Edwin, I have both I love being able to get a lot of minions back and being able to buff Edwin up aot, it’s a lot of fun and I’ve only lost one match due to a missplay

      1. rethwrhew

        what did you switch out?

  24. Azog

    What cards for Mulligan?

  25. Ghoulcrest
