Deck Description

Brann Bronzebeard is looking like a staple in most Dragon decks. The Dragon cards just have such powerful battlecries, e.g., six damage Blackwing Corruptor, 12+ health Twilight Drakes, and 2 cards from Azure Drake! These are just some of the possibilities of what Brann can bring to the table. This deck is more control based because it doesn't rely so heavily on Savage Roar and Force of Nature. You'll be using your ramp cards to get to your strong Dragons, and once there your opponent will struggle to get them off the board. Brann can be used for defending against early aggro, but it's best reserved for getting at least one strong trigger from a battlecry. This is a well-rounded deck, and got Hotform to legend this season!

    Rend blackhand replacement ?

    1. Evident

      Second BGH or Twilight Drake.

      1. Thx4Playing

        I would use Mulch over a 2nd BGH if looking for a Rend replacement. Mulch is hard removal that is non-situational where BGH is limited to a 7+ attack minion. Yes, there's a drawback in that they add a random minion to their hand, but it is totally random and includes all minions in the game, many of which are bad. I plan to try this deck as is and even replacing the 1 BGH with a Mulch and see how each does.

        Rend can kill 2 legendaries?

        1. Evident

          No, it can only target one.

    NICE DECK

    SOME REPLACAMENT TO ALEXSTRASZA

    1. Evident

      Nefarian.

  3. gaz72

    Black knight? No u think bgh better?

    1. Evident

      The Black Knight has been fairly weak for a while, it usually ends up only hitting a Sludge Belcher. BGH will take care of most of the big threat minions.

    The first match was a nice opening in round 2,
    with coin bronzebeard and innervate aspirant...

    :) 4 mana and board control... at this point it was quite easy to trade build a board :)

    1. Joy

      Rogue (deathraddle) WIN
      Warlock (handlock) WIN
      Rogue (miracle) WIN
      Warlock (handlock) WIN
      Hunter (midrange, control) WIN
      Priest (velen) WIN
      Hunter (smorc...) LOSS
      Warrior (control, double brawl) LOSS
      Hunter (midrange) LOSS
      Warlock (zoo) LOSS
      Rogue (deathraddle) WIN
      Hunter (fatigue ?!) WIN (jackson, taurissan and lock and load :D)
      Hunter (midrange) LOSS
      Hunter (face) LOSS
      Shaman (overload, aggro) LOSS
      Mage (casino) WIN
      Druid (aggro) WIN
      Hunter (aggro) WIN
      Hunter (aggro) WIN
      Shaman (aggro, overload) LOSS

      ==> 20 Matches: 12 Wins / 8 Loss => 60% Winrate

      ... was looking really good in the beginning, ended up in a not OP deck but still pretty good

      btw.: played from Rang 11 to 9

      1. jonysyler

        thanks for info =)

    ET and Alex don't seem like they do much here. Thoughts on Nefarian and Chillmaw instead? Maybe Boom just cuz he's the best?

    1. Joy

      Alex helped me out sometimes against aggros...
      Replace of ET might be worth it (for boom or a big dragon),
      but sometimes ET helpes you for bronzebeard combos....

    I've played this deck for 15-20 games around rank 5. My starting hands often look very clunky and slow but somehow you find a way to get back into the game. I'll see how far this deck takes me with a little more practice. I swapped Rend Blackhand for Chillmaw, because I found myself missing dragons in my hand a couple of times. Also Chillmaw is such a good roadblock against aggressive decks, if you can ramp into him quick enough.

  7. Rae

    Do Rend Blackhand can kill 2 legendaries on Bronzebeard effect?

    1. Evident

      No, just one.

  8. Mr Bump

    Fun deck! And guys - really liking the site - just one thing; the order of the cards in your deck listing is all over the shop - makes it frustrating to netdeck ;) Would be much better if they were in the same order as in the game.

    1. Evident

      Thanks, I hope to be adding that soon!

  9. pableen

    aviana is a god choice to change by an ancient of lore ?

    1. Evident

      I don't think so.

  10. Enyop

    there is a viable replacement for bronzebeard or twilight guardian?

    1. Evident

      Twilight Guardian is probably the most important Dragon so I would say no.

  11. romain

    i put chillmaw insted off rend blackhand

    1. Pommesfee

      I did the same and would recommend this to anyone trying this deck. While Rend can be really swingy at times, Chillmaw adds consistency to the deck as it's another dragon and has better stats (in a the sense that it doesn't die to the next best 3/4 drop or even cheap damage-based removal). Also it has taunt, which I found especially important against hunters. Played this deck from rank 5 to rank 1 over the last week by the way, so I would assume that I'm doing something right with it.

  12. pouya

    24 - 5 winrate , from 4th rank to legend in last season, worked nice

  13. swag

    Replacement for nourish?

    1. Evident

      Second Twilight Drake.

  14. Cindrine

    This is a really fun deck to play! I'm having a huge amount of success with it. I am just having a difficult time with mages. Any suggestions to make this stronger against tempo mages? Other than that my win rate is almost 100% with all other classes. Thanks !

  15. HPanda

    I was thinking of putting in Aviana to spice things up in this deck. Do you think Aviana would fit or nah?

    1. Evident

      It probably doesn't fit, but you could try it!

  16. gaz

    So second bgh for rend, if I've no sucess with Alex, could nef be a good switch ? Dragon for Dragon for same stats ? Need to keep ysera

    1. Evident

      Sounds reasonable.

  17. kattavenos

    Any replacement for bronzebeard?

    1. Evident

      Second Twilight Drake.

  18. silverhand

    Any replacement for 2 Twilight Guardian

    1. Evident

      I don't think you can play this deck without them.

    2. Chinto

      Sludge Belcher?

  19. Sebochan

    Can i use oracle as a replacement for nourish? Nourish is kinda slow for this deck i guess. Or maybe HJ for late game purposes against controls?

    1. Evident

      I think you can live without Nourish, I might try a Mind Control Tech.
