OTK Deathknight Combo MAX DMG 59 without discoveries. Standard.

Key cards: Death Growl, Naval Mine, Tour Guide, Cover Artist

OTK cards, 2x Death Growl, Tour Guide, Naval Mine, Rimefang Sword, Construct Quarter, Cover Artist,

Optionals: Queen Azshara, Cover Artist, Emerald Skytalon, Frequency Oscillator

How to play in a sentence:

Draw all the cards you need to pull the combo while killing everything your opponent puts into play.

How to set up the combo:

Have Construct Quarter ready.

Have Tour Guide discount hero power to 0 mana and save for later.

Have Naval Mine, 2x Death Growls and Cover artist in hand.

(Play Frequency Oscillator to reduce mana cost of the mine)

(Use Rimefang Sword to discount Death Growls to 0 mana.)

(Play activated Queen Azshara, pick the spell that changes to a copy of most recent spell it will cost 1.)

Total damage somewhat varies based on the situation.

Assuming no discounts and no minions on board:

When at 8 mana, use hero power to summon ghoul for 0, then play Cover Artist for 4 mana and copy the ghoul. Play Naval
Mine for 2 mana in between the ghouls. Cast 2 Death Growls for 2 mana total on the Naval Mine
so it spreads “Deathrattle: deal 4 damage to enemy hero” to the
minions. Use Construct Quarter to destroy the Naval Mine. At the end of your
turn the ghouls will die and their deathrattles trigger bombing the
enemys face to smithereens.

Total damage if you could hit face with both ghouls: 4+8+8+1+3 = 24

Assuming no discounts and a minion on board that can hit enemy minion and die:

When at 8 mana, use hero power to summon ghoul for 0, then play Naval Mine for 2 mana in between the ghoul and the minion. Cast available Death Growls on the Naval mine so it spreads “Deathrattle: deal 4 damage to enemy hero” to the minions. Use Construct Quarter to destroy the Naval Mine. Then make a copy of the ghoul with Cover Artist and hit face if possible, kill the other minion with spread deathrattles. At the end of your turn the ghouls will die and their deathrattles trigger bombing the enemys face to smithereens.

Total damage if the minion on the board you spread the deathrattles died and you could hit face with both ghouls: 4+1+3+8+8+8 = 32

Total damage if the minion on the board you spread the deathrattles died
and you couldn’t hit face with ghouls: 4+8+8+8 = 28

At 10 mana and discounted spells / mech you get to play another Cover Artist and Death Growl.

Total damage if you’ve done everything possible to aid the combo and can hit face with ghouls: 4+1+3+3+12+12+12 = 47

Total damage if you’ve done everything possible to aid the combo and can hit face with ghouls and played Emerald Skytalon or had a minion on the board that could die this turn:

4+1+3+3+12+12+12+12 = 59

It’s even more if you get discounted Death Growls with Nerubian Viziers.

Pros:

– Plenty of clear to survive aggro.

– Most cards draw cards to set up the combo.

– Damage goes mostly over taunt minions.

– Usually can kill opponent without the full combo.

– Works against most classes.

Cons:

– Usually can’t deal with Blood DK, their max hp goes up to 55, with discoverys maybe even more.

– Mages who repeatedly use Solid Alibies, Counter Spells or Objections will counter the combo.

– Full combo is slow.

– Warriors and Druids who gain a lot of armor are hard to beat.
