Mulligans
General Mulligans
Malfurion the Pestilent isn't a must-have to get on the mulligan, but when you have enough ramp (like 2 of the other cards) you can consider keeping it against some aggro or burn match ups (like Tempo Mage).
Be careful when keeping Nourish, it is slow against Aggro deck, only keep it when you have the Coin.
Aggro Mulligans
Spreading plague is really important to keep against aggro decks which expand a lot on board (ex : Odd Paladin), it gets you so much tempo. Swipe is only strong against Paladins to clean tokens before turn 5 to avoid an overpowered Level Up!
Ferocious Howl is cool to keep with Lesser Jasper Spellstone against Rogue, because it calms down his burst potential and getting your Jasper to level 2 is important to kill his 3-turn which are his main tempo cards.
Control Mulligans
Ultimate infestation can be kept if you have at least a Nourrish and a Wild growth to ramp a lot and then get your hand back.
Version 0.1
I feel like this list has some improvements to get, but I’m quite happy with its design.
Against aggro deck, the goal is either to control and board clear with cards such as Lesser Jasper Spellstone , Swipe and Spreading Plague to reach the point of the game when you get board control with cards like Ultimate Infestation , Arcane Tyrant and The Lich King to finish him, or to ramp as fast as possible with the classic ramp cards + the new Biology Project , which is like getting two turns in the future and helps you to reach more easily your Nourish or Spreading Plague if the opponent is expanding on board. Then, you can outvalue him with all your lategame cards.
Against control/Midrange decks, all you have to do is ramp and draw fast to get your combo ready. Naturalize is here to prevent you from big Mechs which will be hardly played at least in the early of Doomsday Project, and from the potential Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake which can come early against warlock match ups for example. When you get Flobbidinous Floop , Faceless Manipulator or Malygos in hand (or all of them !), you can play your Dreampetal Florist to reduce one of their cost (obviously the best to get is Malygos , but the others are nice for different reasons which I’ll give you). Be careful when dropping Dreampetal Florist on board, as if you are behind in tempo it is hard to use 7 mana of your turn just to get a 4/4 as an immediate effect, and you will probably get overwhelmed by the opponent, especially if he is playing a Midrange/Tempo deck (and I think that it’ll be common for the next month as Mechs will be played to test the Magnetic Key-word).
The combo is different depending on which card is cost-reduced in your hand. If malygos is reduced, you can play Malygos + Flobbidinous Floop for 6 mana (Malygos costs 2 + Floop costs 4), and get 36 damage on hero with Moonfire x2 and Swipe . If you don’t have Flobbidinous Floop but Faceless Manipulator in hand, you can’t play the Swipe unless you kept Biology Project , which in late game just gives you 2 mana for 1 crystal (in this case it kind of works like an Innervate ). So the combo with Faceless Manipulator would be : 7 Mana for double Malygos (Malygos costs 2 + Faceless costs 5), Biology Project to get 1 mana back, and the same 36 dmg as before with Moonfire x2 and Swipe . However if you already used your Biology Project earlier in the game, or, if you don’t have the possibility to use Swipe (is you used it before or have it still in the deck), you can still deal 22 damage with 2 copies of Malygos + Moonfire x2, which can sometimes be enough to kill your opponent !
If you cost-reduced either Flobbidinous Floop or Faceless Manipulator , you will have to drop your Malygos to pressure the opponent so he is forced to deal with it (I think that I don’t need to explain why). Most of the time he’ll find a way to kill it, and on the next turn you can play Flobbidinous Floop + Faceless Manipulator for 4 or 5 mana depending on which one is cost-reduced, and then get the 36 dmg combo.
Notes :
– You don’t necessarily need the full combo to win, depending on the matchups. Against aggro, you can easily get a lethal with only Malygos and double Moonfire (12 dmg) + the damage you’ve already done with your other creatures. Alexstrasza can help you with this by dropping the health of the ennemy hero to 15. In some situations you can win like this against some control matchups, like an Even warlock which didn’t manage to heal up fast enough after your Alexstrasza , or a Big spell mage which really depends on his Frost Lich Jaina to heal himself.
– Also, playing Alexstrasza in most control matchups will get a lot of pressure on the opponent, as he knows that if he doesn’t heal himself fast he can get killed at any moment. This can engender reactive plays, which is great for you to setup your combo.
– Against aggro matchups, Flobbidinous Floop can be played after The Lich King to get instant value out of it.
– Be careful when dropping Dreampetal Florist on board. Even if against control decks tempo isn’t really the matter (moreover he’ll have to deal with it still, as letting this card 2 turns on board is gamebreaker), it is a great tempo-loss against mid or aggro matchups, so drop it when you are safe and know that you have the time to put a 4/4 on board for the whole turn.
– Notice that you can get even a greater combo if you managed to get Death Coil out of The Lich King, with Flobbidinous Floop and cost-reduced Faceless Manipulator + Moonfire x2 + Swipe + Death Coil for a 51 damage combo. But don’t play around it, because it doesn’t happen that much.
Here are some cards that I could see played in the deck but that I didn’t reach to put in this decklist for the moment :
– A second Biology Project , Innervate , Juicy Psychmelon , Ixlid, Fungal Lord , Prince Taldaram , Starfire , Bloodmage Thalnos , Floop's Glorious Gloop , Wrath , Starfall .
