Hey there,

Bloodmage Thalnos serves two purposes: Cycle and spell damage. He is unique because he is the only card to provide both of this things for such low cost.
There are two substitutes: Loot Hoarder and Kobold Geomancer which both for the same cost serve one of the two purposes you run a Thalnos for. I haven’t tried any of them but I would probably advice starting with Loot Hoarder.

Update me on how it works out 🙂

Hey!

I have been trying to replace Ancestral Knowledge for a while, after some testing, your idea of Lava Shock fits perfectly. Have updated it on the guide!

Thank you and keep it up!

Hey there!

I mainly run Elise because of Warriors and Priests. At start I wanted to out fatigue them and also ran with 2 or 3 cards in the end when I used the monkey. After some play I realized the better way to win aggainst those decks is be agressive like a midrange would be, if you have the opportunity to use an early monkey, you should do it, despite not having used all the hexs, for example. There is no way those decks can deal with so much threats continuously.

Rafaam is f** awesome and I’ve seen it more and more, specially on warriors. You can easily replace Elise with him. But I would advice either replacing Ragnaros or Yogg due to the similarities on the cost. Most of the times Elise is a sweet and clean 4 turn drop if you are not overloaded by using the wolves.

Keep it up!

No problem, keep it up!

Hey!
Forget about it! I know what it is to play drunk ahahah
I am glad you were able to climb the ladder and have fun!
keep it up also, good games 🙂

Hey!
You can try to replace it with Cult Apothecary, it won’t heal you that much, but should be able to give you some good health aggainst aggros and it also has a good body for 5

Hey!

You should be able to get past rank 15 with this deck.
Play less around randomness, that’s why thalnos and azure drake are here, so you can boost your AOE’s in case you need it.
Saron was the reason I created this deck, it looks crazy and can turn out really bad sometimes. But if you use it when you have no board it really is amazing most of the time. He can even win a game alone.
Elise starseeker, gives us the monkey that gives us more randomness, but I added it also, you have to wonder why.
Because despite being random the odds are on your favour if you know how to put them on your favour.
Sylvannas is a really strong card and is working wonders, but that is on most nzoth decks, so I guess I agree with you. I’ve already replaced it with Emperor Thaurissan and it makes a huge difference. I need to update it to the guide later.

hey! I’m glad you are enjoying it!

I think you won the frost shock argument with da kikirikiki ahah xD

Most of the game you are just trying to survive until you estabilize, so there aren’t a lot of situations where you could do the windfury combo you are talking about or simply just freeze a minion, lightning bolt is a great removal and deals with the threats immideatly

jeweled scarabs was already asked, I skipped it because I didn’t find any card that I would want to trade it with on the deck, but probably it can fit somehow if you are crazy enough to do da freeze windfury scarab double damage kirikiriki combo, who knows! ahah

Keep it up 🙂

Hey!

The reason I chose to ran Sylvanas instead of black knight was that, sylvanas has some good synergy and sometimes you can steal bigger minions with elemental destruction in case you ran out of hexs. But of course its another great option due to all the c’thun decks with twin emperor.

Icehowl is a reasonable replacement fo Rag, but only if you don’t have him. It is way easier to deal with Icehowl since it gets to lower his HP a lot, considering you would use it to remove a big threat, because for the small threats we already have plenty of AOE spells.

I understand the prespective of introducing ancestral healing but I think the card overall is weak and will stay dead for a long time in the hand. Perhaps you can combo it with sylvanas also but I cannot find what card to replace.

You have to try all that options you can check the results for yourself

I am truly glad you are enjoying it! I’m also finding it really fun!!

I will be further updating it, thank you for the feedback 🙂

An effect like Thaurissan reduces the cost of cards in your hand by 1, and since this card remains being Shifter Zerus I think it makes sense if it does stack up the effect like it does with any other card.
Even in the scenario where you have a 2 cost card reduced by 3 at the end of that turn. At the start of your next one you, if you hypothetically get a 4 cost card, it will only cost 1.

much wow, much fun, much crazy, much wild, much standard, much wtf???

with all the removal cards there are, why would one choose to swap two 9/9 targets for one damn 30/30. Let’s see:

Paladin shits on it with all the damage reduction shiet;
warrior shits on it, ez
if its freeze mage he ignores it easy, if it’s not mage is prbbly fuked, maybe poly is back who knows.
rogue saps it and the pleasure is his.
hunter matches doubtedly can reach that long and the same goes for shaman, if it’s control/midrange shaman, hex would be a must on the deck so there’s your answer.

I’m glad the game can’t have a creature that can’t win the game alone. who the fuck want’s it right? But a 30/30? damn, that’s some nasty shiet, I will love to see how it turns out in the first 2 surprise weeks of the release before it is turned to dust ahah xD

It makes all the sense to copy the current one, that’s how the mechanism in HS works.
You can get the best example out of Faceless manipulator like in above comments.

Another downside to it is if it gets silenced since it will turn to a miserable 1/1. I don’t believe it will see much play, possibly in warlock but…. meh…..

hey!

Nice idea of deck, I’m really enjoying playing it! The name is great, reminds me of MTG ahah

After some testing thou, everytime I get Nourish on my hand it doesn’t really feel that helpfull. We already have Lores for the draws and darnassus + wild growth for the extra mana. I understand the extra boost it grants but 5 mana seems way too much.

I’d rather apply some more early game with living roots or even a bgh, but i guess in the ends it’s all about opinions and ladder position maybe!

Great guide and explanation towards the Dragon Storm mulligans and deck strategy!! 😀

Cheers and keep it up!!
