In my eyes there is just one problematic card: Spreading Plaque!

Without that card, the whole comboparts become what a combodeck should be: not over 45% winrate.
And we would have other druiddecks.

Cause the mix between ramp, carddraw and a lot of armor is to OP with Spreading Plaque together.

Just my two cents.

By the way; good article

@Stan1745 and BoB, the good and the bad side of this deck is the same:it cann win against almost every deck but it can loose to every deck. The winrates are not high but also not low.
So it really depending on youre knowledgement about the different decks you face and how to handle them with this deck. Making 2 or 3 bad dicsions and you will loose quickly. I don’t mean the actuel situations, i mean the next 2 to 3 turns. It need a good pilot.
In my opinion its harder to pilot than a lot of other decks. Maybe thats why you both think its lousy but its a good deck.

Hi, i like youre guides and the Questwarrior you bring here is much better than my version i played before but:
the Questrogue from the Proplayer Dog is much better than this Rogue.
I really would say that you try it out by yourself and you better bring his deck here.

But aside that: thanks for all the good work you doing here.

Peace

No, you need Elise against all Controlmatchup especially Jadedruid.

A few days ago i found a familiar deck like this from a player named JohnnyquestHS. The only different are: minus 1 Slam, plus 1 Deathwing. That was before iread this guide. I was reading this because i wanted to know whats the different about the usual controlwarrior and from Johnnyquest. At the end, there is not really a difference. 😉
I startet on rank 22 and become now 14. I face a lot of Jadedruid. From my expierence with priestdecks and a controlshaman last month i was of course thinking that this matchup would be lousy but too my surprise i won 8 games from 11 until rank 15. And still won 2 games from 3 to rank 14 with 2 stars.
Then i was thinking about why. Of course i startet on very low rank and there are a lot of player who pilot their deck not good. And 3 dont have Fendral Staghelm. 2 have played without Auctioneer. But still funny for me.
What i can say is that i allways keep Dirty Rat an my hands. If i have 2 then i keep also both. My thinking about is, that Jadedruid have only 1 minion what you dont wanna put down from his hand: Fendral Staghelm. All others are battlecryminions like Jade Spirit, Jade Behemoth or Azure Drake. And in the early game they hold of course no Staghelm or Brann. And Elise won me also 4 matches.
I am still wondering about my high winrate against Jadedruid. 

The matchup against Tempomage is not good. 1 from 3 i won. Piratewarrior is a bit better 2 from 3. The only Hunter i faced until now was no problem. The only Rogue(Miracle) was easy. Star is here of corse also Dirty Rat. Shamans are also easy.
So i see why this deck is unfavorated but i come easy now on rank 14 and it work fine for me in my meta. Maybe the people dont know how to play against a controlwarrior because they dont see much on the ladder in the last month. Maybe i have just luck. Hell, i dont know but i like that deck in the moment.

But i need one advice: I dont found Deathwing really useful. What you think is a good replacement. A secondSlam is not necessary cause i have allways enough cards on my hand. In the moment i use Nefarian, because he bring me in the lategame against other controldeck 2 cards what i can change than with the monkeys to legends. But i wondering what will be youre advice. I have allmost every important legend so advice what you think is the best.

Thanks for youre good guides and the good work you both doing here. Thumbs up.

Very good article. Thumb up

Also good analyzed. But i doubt that B.B. and his team will have learn something and will not make wrong cards like Smalltime-Bucaneer etc. I mean honestly:
Who could not foresee what happen with the meta after reading the text from Smallime B.?

Everybody i know agreed with me after we see the pirate and discuss about. And then, like aggro-shammy was not since long time tier1, they bring bring Spirit Claws!
Like: Hey Ben!
Ben: Yeah?
would it be not fun to make the aggro-shammy more stabil.
Ben: Yeah, why not…HAHAHA..looks great with the new pirate. I mean i havent look in the last 3 month on the tierlist or so but i guess it will be a lot of fun…HAHAHA

So i highly doubt that B.B. have learned much but, to be fair, the new change seems very good in my opinion.
The nerfs was clear and comes 1 month to late but they not really kill the cards but they would be now not Autoinclude in shammy anymore.

or look now at Verdant Longneck! Would he be 4/5 insteed of 5/4, it would be a playable option. better than Stranglethorn Tiger in my eyes. Because having x/4 body is to easy to kill. Often enough with 1 single spell. Or would the cost be 4 insteed of 5 it would be playable. But so…like you said.
I mean its totally clear that they could’n’t make everycard playable but still. Why presenting a card like this as one of the first cards? Maybe to show us just to demonstrade a week card to make us say “yeah” after we see then the good ones? Hm, but to me it looke like a waste of time for programming and design this card…

But let us hope the best. The new expansion make me curious and i wann see more. Could be great for the meta with the other changes.

again, good article and nice presentation.

Peace

First of all: great guide. And thx to the design it looks really good.

But for me are 7 dragons are too less. I like to play min. 8 better 9. What you think i can change? Also what for dragons in and what out?

Thx in advance

The deck is fine but i needed some games to learn how to use it right.
I miss Eddy in this deck.

And Aya Blackpaw is not a class legendary.

And for Holy Smite i would advise Power Word:Shield, cause there is not much carddraw and Holy Smite should be not necessary in this build.

imho

This looks really interesting, but i would do 3 changes:
– Midnight Drake
-Onyx Bishop
-Potion of Madness
and
+ Brann Bronzebeard
+ Blackwing Corruptor
+ Netherspite Historian

The reasons are:
Midnight Drake is not a good dragon, cause toughness 4 is too fragil. Corruptor has a good body, even with a toughness of 4 and kills a minion. With Brann a big one.
Potion of Madness is not necessary, but a early minion is. And this minion gives you a dragon and a body. And with Brann 2.
Onyx Bishop is also not so good with so many battlecry minions, but Brann fits very well.

When the next expansion comes out i will try this out so.

G

Zkool47 is right.
Amaz has two great Decks with Barnes, Ressurect and Onyx Bishop.
Both a very good on the ladder. You have one here!

But the Rest of this Thread is really good analysed. Sorry for my english.
Great Job!

Oh man, now i have seen that someone else had the same idea like me. combine dragons with C´Thun.
lol. God thanks that you go an other way like me so i don´t have to erase mine.

How it goes with this on the ladder?

And why you don´t play Twilight Darkmender? He is really a reason to play C´Thun as a Priest.
