Mulligans
General Mulligans
In general these are the only cards that you will need. Call to arms thins your deck and gets you on board. Loot hoarder is a good turn 2 play and cycles itself. Truesilver champion can deal with your opponent's minions easily and give you board control.
Aggro Mulligans
Against aggro pyromancer is always a keep as it can clear the board pretty easily, especially against aggro paladin. Loot hoarder is a keep because it cycles itself and you do not have a 2nd turn play most of the times. Call to arms is essential for getting on board, thinning your deck and bringing out cards that you do not want to draw past turn 4. Consecration can clear the board. Vicious scalehide is a good turn 2 play and heals you, the same goes for Righteous protector, it can extend your survivability and fight for board.
Midrange Mulligans
For midrange you will need to keep Truesilver champion in order to deal with your opponent's minions easily. Peacekeeper is a good way to neutralize the big threats, mainly spiteful summoner's effect, and once again call to arms to thin your deck and get on board. Loot hoarder is just a good turn 2 play which cycle itself.
Combo Mulligans
Against combo you will need to play for board in order to pressure them. Later in the game you will need to combo them before they do, so Uther can be a keep if it is a more control oriented combo deck. Ooze can be a keep for cubelocks taking out their weapon and in general if one of their combo piece is a weapon.
Control Mulligans
If you are certain that your opponent is control, then Uther is a keep in order to OTK him as soon as possible. Call to arms thins your deck and gets you board control, loot hoarder is good for turn 2 play and cycle. Truesilver champion is good to keep to deal with your opponents minions easily.
Hello,
I have been testing this deck since the beginning of witchwood and I have managed to get legend pretty easy. It has pretty good match-ups against aggro and contains the OTK combo against control.
To begin with, the combo consist hero powering while having Uther of the Ebon Blade in play. Next, you play Ancient Brewmaster in order to take the first horseman into your hand. In the next turn you do the same, however you need to be aware of taking a different horseman into your hand, the second time. Lastly, on the next turn again, you take the 3rd horseman with Zola the Gorgon. Then, on your next turn, you play all of the horsemen that you have from your hand, FIRST, and then you hero power for the full combo. It seems a little bit slow, but it ACTUALLY works. However, your opponent needs to be a control deck.
Against aggro deck you need to play for board and having in mind your board clears in combination of Wild Pyromancer with Equality and Consecration. In many cases you will have to adapt to the situation according to your corresponding hand and realizing what is your win condition, either clearing the board over and over again or getting ahead on board and maintaining it.
I have to admit that the deck is very strong and it can win against any type of deck, having also tech cards like Gluttonous Ooze for weapon removals, especially against cubelock and Aldor Peacekeeper mainly for giants and spiteful summoners. In addition Blackwald Pixie is in the deck in order to punish any opponent who does not respect your single horseman that you have in play, because one horseman in the board while having another one in the hand in combination with Blackwald Pixie is lethal. Also, when having the coin, Blackwald Pixie makes the combo faster requiring only two horsemen in your hand. It is decent against aggro, too having a 3/4 body.
The only replacements that can be made in this deck is replacing Tirion Fordring with Lynessa Sunsorrow, however in my opinion Tirion is better.
Thank you for your time, I hope you find my deck interesting and have success with it. If the deck gets many likes or views, I will consider putting more details about muligans and against every single matchup.
I watched someone beat Dog with this the other day. I got Uther right after rotation and have always liked the otk strategy. Thanks for the post, I’ll give it a try
