It would be great to add in this kind of posts what was the most banned deck by each player. The ban strategy is really part of the lineup. I don’t know if that kind of data is available elsewhere.

This one: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/monsantos-worgen-otk-warrior-hct-americas-summer-prelims-2016/

Just as a counterpoint, Monsanto just qualified for Summer Championship with a double Worgen, double Charge list (and no Rampage). He said it’s better against aggro because you can draw the combo earlier and it helps against Freezing Trap. It also gave him a good chance against freeze (although he finally lost that matchup), and he used a charged worgen to clear minions against Dragon Warrior.

I just had a walk with this deck: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/magic-mirror-heroic-millrattle/

This is Thijs explaining his reasoning with this deck (and the rest of the matchups) agains Lifecoach in the semifinals:

Yeah, I didn’t mention it but It had the second Charge as well. Thanks for your thoughts there.

Nice write up! I’ve seen versions (in ladder, I don’t have the lists) with double Worgen (which caught me by surprise, playing C’thun Warrior). Any comment on that?

Argent Squire is better for permanent buffs though, like the Defender of Argus and Lance Carriers this deck uses

Please do!

Great article, and totally agree with your comment.

Also, for the record, I tried 2 things after reading this piece: clicking the “+1” button, and reading other articles in this “Analysis” category. Failed at both 😛

A single spellbreaker is great. And without Fandral, you could also replace the Raven Idols with more solid stuff.

I’ll second that. I made an account a few weeks ago but I visit the site daily since I started playing. Great work Evident!
