Doom in the Tomb Theorycraft Decks - How To Use The Upcoming Wild Cards in Standard
By Stonekeep -

Doom in the Tomb, the upcoming Halloween-themed event, releases early next week (October 8). One of its main features is re-introducing 23 Wild cards back to Standard temporarily (until next expansion). Given that majority of the cards we're getting back were once staples, it should shake up the meta heavily.
Ever since the announcement, we sat down and made some theorycraft decks for you to enjoy. They can be a great starting point once the event is out, or you can use them as an inspiration for your own builds!
Of course, the ones you see below is not all - we'll be updating it with new decks until Tuesday's release. Enjoy!
Update #3: Added N'Zoth Highlander Mage.
Update #2: Added Highlander Paladin.
Update #1: Added Astral Druid, Deathrattle (N'Zoth) Hunter, Tempo Mage and Evolve Shaman!

Looks like nzoth is missing from some of the "nzoth" decks
Stonekeep
Sorry, some cards were not displaying correctly for some reason. I've updated them and they should be okay right now.

What about quest deathrattle paladin? This seems like it would be a strong deck that will crush control. Just think about 2/2 sylvanases and ragnaroses
Goldenpantss
Erm, Flamewaker mage?

Highlander Paly is so strong in current season, the addition of The Curator and a Dragon to the list could round-up its high-roll potential.

Excelent. So, even tho Blizzard has came up with Deck Builder thingy,
I guess nothing can beat meta decks from HTD.
take that Blizzard.
but, no combo deck from Flamewaker Mage yet.
I guess I'll just have to test one myself.
Stonekeep
What Flamewaker Combo would you like to see? What's your idea for the deck? :)
Razze
They brought back thaurassian so just need a fistful of cheap spells and 2 flamewalkers and reduce them for same turn for 32+ dmg
h0lysatan
the idea of the combo is to have a lot of tiny spells on hand, and play 1 flamewaker, and 1 or 2 apprentice in turn 7th. and a way to refill those tiny spells with cyclone mage. (quest is nice too)
Just in case, this is what I thought.

But the downside is, too many tiny spells often ends up with no minion on board. and sometimes leaves you with no cards to execute combos (even with freeze and secrets).
So, I would suggest to forget the idea, because I think, Mage deck is very challenging in this expansion. (aside from nerf and less synergy).
I probably wait until the next expansion. (Still waiting on Exodia Deck to be possible again).
Thanks.

Great lists, thanks ! Just a small detail : in the Paladin list description, the wrong Rafaam is tagged as the card, you mean the standard 7-mana, and it is currently the wild 9-mana
Stonekeep
Thank you, fixed it :)
Razze
Come to think of it, there are plenty of thaurrassian dependent combos that would now be possible. Do you think there are any that would be at all reliable now in current standard?...
MilesTegF
I would not call it a combo... but now that i think about it, you can now double Shudderwock with quest Shaman without coin :facepalm:
All you have to do is include thaurissan and discount Shudder by one mana.
Razze
It is included in the highlander maly quest druid but I was wondering about it in maly hunter or if there is a combo Mage that has revived or sprouted... Big priest or warrior would both benefit from him but are not combos...
Medo
Doesn’t floop reset its mana cost after being discounted if you play another minion? i.e. if you play thaurissan and your floop costs 3 mana then play maly your floop will become a 4 cost maly
Stonekeep
Come to think about it, I believe that they DID change minions that transform in hand to not retain any buffs / mana cost changes etc. But I'll need to test it out since I haven't played with Floop + mana discounts ever since Year of the Raven's Malygos Druid.
