Great historical article. I will certainly read the incoming ones.

I first time climbed last month to legend with face hunter, and in this season Pirate Warrior is giving good success too (at Diamond 4 right now). I have Dragon Bane too and essentially am using VKLiooon’s list for Hunter, and Krastinov 2 Steeldancers and Green Skin in Pirate, so the latter is not actually budget, but is serving well with much damage coming from weapons (Scythe, Ganarg and Ancharr) countering board clears. With Demon Hunter Aggro I have been suffering more, so I would definitely recommend Face Hunter to climb.

This has been used in Grandmasters, maybe not as bad as people thought? I use one in my Tempo DH, great for silencing Kharthut’s and Convincing Infiltrators.

Great deck, I went 9-0 with it today (4 ranked at Diamond 5-4), even with only 1 Freezing trap.

Do you think Mortal Strike may be better than Korkron Elite on the full version? Is another spell sinergy with Reaper’s Scythe and can go trough taunts, or deal 6 if you are at or below 12 life. Thoughts?

I already had the free returning player Pirate with Greenskin and Anchar for Ashes of Outland, and having opened Krastinov and two SteelDancers on Scholomance I guess I will try this list too.

Nice Guide, since I already had Lorekeeper I put it instead of Amani Berserker, it helped me climb fast to Diamond.

But there’s is one anti sinergy: If you draw a Soul Fragment after you outcast a Skull of Guldan, the next card is not discounted. This is pretty annoying sometimes…

The names of the Demon Companions are acronyms of the Animal ones, interesting…

Shima – Misha
Kolek – Leokk
Reffuh – Huffer

And I of course meant Breath of Dreams too.

Ramp*

Interesting, i have one Mountseller for my spell druid deck, but in this deck Breath of Dragons ramo would activate only by Malygos…

I feel you have a point. i don’t have Alexs (yet) so I will either play Big O Whelp or Twilight Drake or craft Emerald Explorer…

But Alexstraza would not help much in the OTK? Maybe you could survive some time more against aggro with her Battlecry on yourself but besides that I don’t se much point in including her.

I already have most of the cards from the previous expansion of this OTK Druida, but Ysera, Unleashed. Since I will have to craft Omu, até there any possible replacements for Ysera, like Big O Whelp (card draw, Breath of Dragons sinergy, reasonable body)?

Well spotted.

Arcane Intellect is what I put in her place.

Lo, i finished this deck today and got a 13 win streak with it (6 casual, 7 ranked), climbing from rank 8 to 5, with the 7 win streak from rank 7 to 5, and I don’t even have a Stargazer Luna, running an Arcane Intellect in her place.

Yes, odd paladin is a nigthmare, but I won a game against it because firefly and fire elemental gave me huge value, and I got arcane missiles +2 cinderstorms wiping his tokens 3 turns in a row. Even warlock is also very hard, but things like zoolock or the majority of hunter decks are favorable match-ups. Odd warrior is also very hard, but those are a bit rare. Heavy taunts are usually not a problem, due to daring fire eater in early game, or face hero power or face Nights Blade battlecry, which can just finish a low health opponent.

All in all, a fun deck to play, and not underpowered at all.
