Deck Description

I had not seen this idea previously, but StrifeCro is running a Deathrattle Paladin that includes Corrupted Healbot in it. I have to admit I only thought I'd see this card in Combo Priests, but it works in this deck as a way to control the board. N'Zoth, the Corruptor is a huge board swing, this is especially the case if you manage to get a second Tirion Fordring from it!

    I've played this deck a few times. It can handle a lot of the aggro and compete with midrange/control decks flooding standard. Going to see how far I can take this deck.

    1. Apolytos

      Awesome deck so far! And really fun to play with!

  2. Azeroth

    This deck is so dope, wish I had all the required pieces to play one.

  3. hero

    lol there's so many cards in this deck i thought were trash.... i dunno about this one.

  4. Alex

    Very nice and fun deck! 5-0 till now!

  5. Subnero

    Honestly i have gone more then 10 wins without a single loss, even the games that i lose for almost the entire game i still easily comeback in the end...
    This deck is insane... i've beat C'thun decks, hybrid decks, aggro decks, control decks... This deck is broken.

  6. Steeve

    What would you run in place of corrupted healbot?

    1. Evident

      Not sure about this one.

  7. Iban

    Any good substitutes for Cairne?

    1. Evident

      Second Keeper of Uldaman could work.

    2. braive

      You should craft it - because its a strong deathrattle for NZOTH

  8. Popstop

    Anyone have doomsayer replacement?

    1. hero

      nah this card is kind of vital in stalling your opponent in the first couple turns.

  9. Phillip

    Just tested a few games just to feel the deck, 3/0 all perfect wins with 100% of life. Tomorrow i'll test more.

  10. hero

    i take it back... this deck is f'kn broken. Forget C'Thun and Yogg Saron. N'Zoth is RIDICULOUS.

    Awesome deck. TwilightSummoner sucks though. Polluted Loot Horder is much better.

    1. Dodo

      I disagree with this. I typically use twilight summomer, wild pyro/equality combo and have a 5/5 on the board after the dust settles. Not that it always happens that way, but it's pretty common to have it on board as a 1/1 until you choose to sacrifice it to a creature for the 5/5. Unless they can immediately deal with the 5/5, they leave it on the board as a 1/1.

  11. emzero

    What exactly do you keep in the mulligan? I'm not sure.

  12. DontClickMe

    Replacement for solemn vigil?

    1. Evident

      Hammer of Wrath or Azure Drake.

    2. MaSQue

      its 40 dust lol craft it

      1. Bling

        I wish, but its part of blackrock, meaning you need to pay 25 bucks and beat all of the wings to get it

  13. Wobble

    Crafting the ragnaros was worth it!

  14. Clay

    Any possible cards that can replace solemn Vigil?

    1. Evident

      Hammer of Wrath or Azure Drake you need something that would draw cards.

  15. Kain

    Whats replace for Forbidden Healing?

    1. Evident

      Nothing, that's one of the strongest cards in the deck.

  16. Hyer

    Which cards should I keep as start hand?

  17. Justin

    What's a good card to replace keeper of uldaman

    1. Evident

      Not sure about this one, that card is really versatile. You could maybe try Big Game Hunter to deal with bigger minions.

      1. Justin

        Gonna try it till I'm done being cheep lol that 20 bucks is annoying lol been trying to build decks with no c'thun and no LOE(cuz I'm cheep)

  18. Shecky

    What purpose does the corrupted healbot serve? It seems counter productive

    1. Duck

      just a heavy deathrattle minion that N'Zoth can resummon i gues

  19. Duck

    What is a good replacement for Ragnaros? Do you think another Lay on Hands might work?

  20. N3XUS

    ok so how does this deck beat "steal/copy yo shit" priest. We both almost always end up in fatigue and they have more cards than me.

    1. Harley

      Well, all decks have a weakness...but that kind of priest is not so common, so it's okey to lose once in a while to a specific type of deck. It you try to make a deck that has something against every specific deck you end up with a crappy deck.

      1. N3XUS

        You got a point there. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

        1. Ch3t3r

          Add Elise.. They can't Deal with so many threats :) and don't use your draw cards, but instead transform them into legendarys
          Worked out for me :)

  21. Tallus000

    I put in an Avenging Wrath. It is devastating late game.

  22. Ingversen

    Standard Mulligans, please?

    1. Ingversen

      I mean common mulligans. :P

      1. hero

        i look for Doomsayers and board clears (pyron/equality/consecrate)

        stall out the early game until about turn 4 or 5 when you can start dropping your death rattle minions.

        1. Ingversen

          Aight, seems reasonable. Ty

        2. RingozwenY

          Thanks

  23. WalterPY

    wait
    Acidic Swamp Ooze > Harrison jones ?

    1. hero

      you already have a ton of card draw....and 4+ mana minions. Acidic can slow down weapons classes as well as act as an Early drop.

  24. Edfearan

    i must have the worst luck, the first 3 games i have had with this deck i have faced agro shaman's that have had perfect card plays and beaten me by turn 5 each time, they could deal with my doomsayer, no equality' clears for me at all. I should start streaming coz i swaer since this xpac landed i have had the worst luck in this game ever.

  25. NakedJelly

    Replacement for cairne?

    1. Evident

      Polluted Hoarder, maybe there's an argument for Abomination, but probably not.

  26. Guigui

    Went from rank 4 to legend with this deck in a day. This is pretty solid, play it !

  27. Marx

    Replace for Ragnaros?

    1. Evident

      Maybe Cult Apothecary for another heal? That's a tough one to replace in this deck.

  28. Nomak

    Any replacement for both twilight summoners? :)

    1. Evident

      Second Infested Tauren and Keeper of Uldaman.

  29. N3XUS

    Yep, this deck is pretty awesome. Just survived TWO C'thun drops against druid and still won. wow, just wow.

  30. Gabriel

    Made a few adjustments. Exhaustion was happening a little too much for comfort:
    -1 Twilight summoner
    -1 Corrupted Healbot
    -1 Infested Tauren

    +1 Chillmaw
    +1 Ysera
    +1 Deathwing

    Thoughts? Seems to work well so far.

    1. Inst4ntKarma

      I can understand dropping the Infested Tauren. Also, dumb question but, which Deathwing? :-P

  31. Cerastes

    Any replacements for Solemn Vigil? Also thats from last wing in BRM right?

    1. Evident

      Second Infested Tauren and Stampeding Kodo. I've also seen people playing Tuskarr Jouster.

  32. Impulsaxl

    Corrupted Healbot has been played by the French Community since the release so it's not really revolutionnary btw.

    1. Internet

      It's also been played by the NA community since release. No one said it was revolutionary btw.

  33. Acidscream

    I love to play strifecros deck list and this is by far one of the funniest yet! I crafted a few cards and was able to get a good win streak going .

  34. MrVintage

    I dropped the heal bouts and add 2 facelessmanipulator and its been working like a charm

  35. mlaslnflnlqw

    replacement for eadric?

    1. Evident

      Lay on Hand or Twilight Summoner.

  36. blacky09

    do i really need "Eadrik the Pure? i mean is it much weaker without him or doesn't really matter that much?

    1. Evident

      I wouldn't craft it, I'd go with a second Humility.

      1. Lowchamp

        I think it's good tho, I crafted it after disenchanting a bunch of crappy cards.

        1. Evident

          It can be good, I'm not fully convinced it's going to be in this deck long term yet.

  37. Nazar

    Baron geddon can be a good replacement for eadric?

    1. Yasiel

      No. Baron geddon removes minions with 2 health and eadric reduces damage by big threats lowering their attacks to 1. Eadric is use mainly after ur oppnent plays nzoth or to deal with a big board and also synergizes with ur 2 stampeding kodos. U can put geddon in ur deck if u like and u can also play equality and then drop geddon to clear it but u have consecration and pyromancers for that too. Its up to u

  38. izmimario

    isn't a second acolyte better suited for ladder than eadric the pure?

  39. popex

    this deck loses to almost every other deck played right now.I don t understand how peoplecan get legend with it...and it costs a whole lot of dust...when u have the heals u dont have minions and vice versa...and its too dependant on eq combo

  40. Shwitz44

    Isn't the latest update Chakki's list from Dreamhack Austin?

    1. Evident

      It's very similar: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/chakkis-nzoth-control-paladin-dreamhack-austin-standard/

      1. Shwitz44

        My mistake. Saw Eadric and failed to check the difference.

        1. Evident

          No worries, they are very close!

  41. 3mr

    why justicar?

    1. PiddBoo

      It's amazing against other control decks. Especially the warrior matchup becomes so much better.

  42. 3mr

    hogger doom of elwynn works great in this deck
