The combo is indeed OP, but it’s also very hard to pull off. Sticking Malygos to the board is almost impossible (opponent will most likely just Silence or kill it), and even if you do, it’s usually better to just kill your opponent with it 🙂 8 damage Frostbolts and 11 damage Fireballs should make it quite easy. So even if you stick Malygos, you’d rather just throw a bunch of damage spells at your opponent than play Unexpected Results.

The card seems more powerful with cheaper sources of Spell Damage. Even 1 or 2 Spell Damage is enough for it to be pretty damn powerful.

That’s correct.

No real “requirements”, you just have to log in here: https://gleam.io/dZpkD/hearthstone-top-decks-boomsday-project-giveaway and do some simple tasks like following on Twitter to have a higher chance to win 🙂

Between Void Ripper and Spellbreaker, I’d say that Void Ripper is better in this deck.

I wouldn’t really remove the Corpse Widow, though. If you cut one, you might run into situation in which you don’t have enough Beasts to pull out of Kathrena too often.

The thing is, Malygos Druid does not play Oaken Summons already. It has cut the card quite a long time ago, actually.

…or he just didn’t complete it.

Did it? I haven’t seen it in a single Constructed deck, ever.

It’s just a template, we don’t know the distribution of rarities yet and there is no point in adding blanks. There will definitely be many more Neutral Commons.

There are two cards like that, revealed simultaneously by Brazilian and Spanish streamers / YouTubers. It’s still a single card, nothing to think about 🙂

It looks like it!

Not really. It’s only works like a spell, but it doesn’t count as one. For example, Counterspell won’t stop it, and it won’t generate a Fireball with Antonidas on the board.

If you’re from Europe and prefer the CEST times, here is the official CEST reveal schedule.

What will other 6 classes get?

Other cards. Mechs aren’t the only thing in Boomsday.

Are they going for same 3-class concept as in mean streets of gadgetzan?

I’m almost sure that it isn’t the case, they would highlight it with the reveal. It’s very common that only a few classes get support for some kind of new mechanic.

E.g. in The Witchwood, only 3 classes have got an extra support for the Odd mechanic – Druid, Mage and Priest. And funnily, neither of those 3 decks have a working Odd deck. On the other hand, only a single class got Even support – Shaman (and this one worked, actually). And Warrior was the only class with Rush synergies, despite it being a new keyword introduces in that expansion.

Different classes have different focus, and that’s a great thing. Imagine every class being about Mechs this expansion, it would be boring, and if the Mechs / Magnetize would fail, then the whole expansion would be a flop. Maybe some of them will have a bigger focus on Projects, on Omega cards, maybe we’ll get a new unexpected in-class synergy (like Freeze Shaman… but let’s forget about that one) etc.

Thank you! 🙂

Probably the biggest tip would be how you handle Devilsaur Eggs. While it’s best to Silence it (obviously), you don’t always have one. If you’re ahead or at least have enough resources to kill the 5/5, it’s better to pop it yourself. Otherwise, you might get completely wrecked by something like Play Dead + Terrorscale Stalker.

Another tip would be clearing off any bigger minion if you can. Trading against this deck is important. With no significant minions on the board, they have lots of dead cards in their hand, like Cube.

And if you play Token Druid, flooding the board is also one way to win against this build. This deck doesn’t run Unleash the Hounds or any other AoE spells, unless you face a Secret version or Wild Pyro version, but those are less common. In the most common builds (at least most common at higher ranks), Deathstalker Rexxar is the only wide board clear, so you can often risk a Wispering Woods even without Soul of the Forest. Setting up a big Wispering Woods into Savage Roar/Branching Path can be a big win condition.

The matchup isn’t amazing for Token Druid, but you should be a slight favorite. However, if your sample size is not that high, your 47% win rate doesn’t seem particularly bad. Remember that no matter how well you play, in the end RNG plays a big role.

I’m using Amazon Coins too! I’m not buying anything other than pre-orders, because I don’t need more packs. With pre-order + packs from gold I usually end up with ~130, which is enough for me – this time I’ll get the 80 packs bundle + over 80 from the gold, so over 160 packs. It won’t give me a full set, but I’ll just craft the useful Epics & Legends. I’m doing this for the last few expansions and I can play every deck I want.

But yes, Amazon Coins are a great deal. If you can get them from 20-25% off, then you’re paying much less for the packs. I wonder why more people aren’t doing it.

And yes, it’s obvious that they made this game to earn money. Every company works like that, they don’t do anything for free. If players are willing to spend money, then it’s a good business. I don’t really mind the prices. I buy one pre-order per expansion and it’s enough for me to play whatever I want. Spending $50 (well, now $80) every 4 months is not a lot for how much I play this game. The only thing I would improve is new players experience. It’s great when you’re already playing the game for long and you can afford anything, but when you just start, you have to grind for months and months to build some meta decks or spend hundreds of dollars at once. Which is a bit steep for someone who just started playing.

That combo won’t work. Electra reads that “your next spell this turn casts twice” – applying the same Battlecry second time won’t change anything. Your next spell will cast twice, no matter how many times you play Electra.

If it read “your next spell casts one extra time”, then it would be a different story.

The wording is clever, it’s most likely made specifically to not work with cards like Murmuring or Brann in the Wild – otherwise some really crazy combos would be possible 🙂

It’s a weird thing. On the one hand, it’s not autonomic. It’s just a big robot piloted by a Goblin. On the other hand, Shredders and Mekginner Thermaplugg were basically the same, and yet they were classified as Mechs.

So my guess would be that they aren’t making it a Mech for balance reasons. Which is more important than staying consistent, in my opinion.

I’m not sure if that would work, though. I think that the Echo card would be added to your hand first and THEN you would add a card, so the right-most would be your top-deck, not an Echo card.

Keep in mind that Luna reads “AFTER” you play your right-most card, not “WHENEVER” – it means that the card draw procs after the card lands on the board and resolves.

To be fair, I wrote the guide BECAUSE the deck was getting more popular, not the other way around. As much as I like to believe that we (HSTD) have a big impact on the ladder, it definitely wasn’t our doing this time 🙂
