Pure Paladin - Legend (nekotama) - Ashes of Outland
Legend with this deck?’ I wanna be in this dudes meta!
Malygos Druid - BoarControl - Ashes of Outland 17.2.1
Yep. I hit legend with the Quest Maly deck but it certainly wasn’t oppressive and required a fair amount of skill to pilot.
Combo decks are important for the game imo because they serve to counter greedy control style decks.

Can’t agree with you here. I can’t remember the last time a Maly deck was anywhere near oppressive.
Deathrattle Galakrond Rogue - #40 Legend (てっぺ) - Outland
I think you’re right but there is some merit to the deck for sure. The Galakrond package is so insanely strong that you can pretty much add whatever you want to it and it’ll be ok/good.
The secret package can be really underwhelming in some games. Unfortunately there aren’t really enough good deathrattles in standard at the moment.
Secret Galakrond Rogue - #1 Legend (XiaoT) - Ashes of Outland
The Stickyfinger is an interesting inclusion. I suppose there is a lot of hunter, warrior, rogue and some Galakrond about that the tempo swing it can provide is helpful enough.
Galakrond Priest - #80 Legend (RayC) - Ashes of Outland
I love this deck. So much value and not annoying rez priest bs. The wild pyro tech is incredible for small wide boards from warrior, DH and hunter.
Wild pyro + Apotheosis= agro heartache
Spell Mage - #17525 Legend (BobShow) - Ashes of Outland
Respect for hitting legend with spell mage if this isn’t a meme.
17.0.2 Balance Update Details - Kael'thas, Albatross, Felwing, Altruis, Battlefiend, Glaivebound Adept, Sacrificial Pact, Bloodbloom, Open the Waygate & Libram of Justice
True but nothing puts out damage like DH other than face hunter which is a terrible matchup for warlock.
You barely get there vs agro DH even with double sac pac. My only hope is that DH goes a bit more midrange which will give other classes a chance. If DH continues it’s dominance I’ll stop playing. Such an unfun brainless deck.
Galakrond Warlock - #1 Legend (Pavelingbook) - Ashes of Outland
I think it’s mainly there for the Nether breath combo, 8 health and 8 damage is a nice swing turn.

Man that murders Galak warlock vs DH which is not good news.
Nerf Patch Early Next Week - Battlefiend, Altruis, Glaivebound Adept, Kael'Thas, Bad Luck Albatross, Frenzied Felwing, Sac Pact, Open the Waygate and Bloodbloom
Demon hunter won’t die but it’ll HOPEFULLY be more skill intensive instead of any brainless idiot hitting above 50% win rates by going face and barely trading.

This basically.
It’s not really a problematic card but it’s ridiculously efficient for its mana cost. It ruins pure paladin and no minion mage which is a shame as neither of those are exactly tier one decks.
Budget Spell Mage Deck List & Guide (Ashes of Outland)
Great article as always, thank you.
I’ve been playing a few variants of this deck for a while and it’s super fun. You can build surprisingly big boards very quickly.
A few tips having played it for a while:
– Learn Dranonic is insane, keep it in the mulligan and try and time when it goes off. If you can get it down at the same time as playing Nether portal, that can be a really hard board to deal with.
– As mentioned above, your minions can synergise with secrets so try and font of power before playing a secret unless you’re in dire need.
– Keep in mind if you get the Prime, he will mess up your deck requirements. He is worth playing though.
– You will hate albatross.
– Keep an eye on hand size If you have an evocation in hand and you’re close to lethal. You may wish to dump your hand for a turn or two.
– if you have the quest, try it. It’s not normally run but it can be good in slower matches.
Eggro Warrior - #2 Legend (NoHandsGamer) - Outland
Gets an upvote from me for the name alone.

Honestly I get your point. I personally think Kayn is one of the dumbest cards in the game.
Sac pact is a problem card I agree. I run a portal warlock deck and that also gets heavily countered by it: I also love Jaraxus and he’s completely unplayable at the moment.
However tempo/otk demon hunter decks are pretty over powered at the moment and sac pact does help balance that a bit. Not a perfect or good balance but one nonetheless.
Highlander Priest - #3 Legend (NAGON) - Outland
Had a look at your list; I like it. Gala priest is quietly a lot of fun and seems teched well to beat most meta decks at the moment.

Sac pact is the only card keeping DH slightly balanced at the moment. DH is still really over tuned and the amount of damage they can deal by just curving out is ridiculous.
I tell you what feels more unfair to lose to, Kayn.
Demon Hunter Nerfs - Coming Out... TODAY?!
Yep. It’s a really fun class and if they dial it down it could be a really skilful one.
Right now their tempo is so obscene they can make really sub-optimal plays in the mid game and still end up well ahead. Mainly because you have to feed your minions to Antean or you risk leaving lethal damage with 15+ hp.
Demon Hunter Nerfs - Coming Out... TODAY?!
Phew. They probably just need to do something about SoG, that card is ridiculous and backbreaking.
This deck is right up my alley. I feel like Crystalsmith is a no brainier though. Decent 2 drop against agro and potentially huge healing later on with Libram of Hope
