I enjoyed playing 1 mana 1/1s that gave me „cannot attack“ minions against 2 fledglings multiple times. Who wouldn’t.

Always makes me remember that my time with Anduin, Rexxar and Jaina is on the clock. I will be incredibly sad when the rotation hits. Everyone already hates me for missing Patches but I stand by my words. I miss the little fella.

Good job saving everyone time with that abbreviation there lul

Thanks for sharing! Playing a lot through the friend list as well, so a fun deck is very welcome. Would not ladder with Tempo rogue personally… My recommendation for that would currently actually be the Thijs OTK Paladin. It sounds like a meme but the foundation of control paladin plus the absurd healing of swinging with Uther + Kangor is really not to be underestimated. Give it a shot if that’s something you can get behind!

Love tempo rogue but recently the decks were quite underwhelming. What are you piloting? I am kinda sick of Kingsbane/Quest/Thief and would love to find something that works as well as the old builds used to (when Patches was around it was beautiful for Tempo Rogue, but even after there were great decks, those I mean)

I have played BSM eversince Boomsday launched and I do not doubt the BSM mentioned above is a good deck but to me it wasn’t fun enough compared to the older versions that run more big minions (which I really loved). Interestingly, somehow the Arcane Keysmith completely vanished. Personally, I experienced that this card helps a lot against all sorts of decks as well. Give it a try if you’re looking for substitutions, it’s just a very fun card!

Druids inner works are just busted. Malygos being the only viable druid archetype is also just not true. There are just too many.
Currently, a German streamer is on EU rank 5 with Togwaggle Druid – arguably the slowest deck there is!

Only yesterday I lost a game against a similarly annoying archetype when it works out –Hadronox Druid! After he spent his entire hand being super aggressive with curving against my control paladin, instead of being limited by his choices in terms of responses he could sinply go UI and then used Doom Pact from the LK to burn 11!! of his cards, killing my 28dmg Tarim board. And he still won the game despite the fact I cleared 4 of his Hadronox boards after myself, being entirely immune to card disadvantage of 13!

So does this include Malygos at all? No, the ridiculous armor gain druid has together with draw AND ramp at the same time (hell, even the same card, Nourish) makes it the perfect deck to do any sort of shenanigans with expensive cards. Druid should just be more vulnerable.

Overall, as stated a million times before, hand disruption would open up ALL sorts of design space. It would force combo decks to be built around more than one win condition, which the good ones are either way.

Malygos is absolutely fine and I do not understand how we can even begin to talk about removing 1 mana 1/1 chargers or 0 mana 1 dmg cards. That’s literally the bare minimum of a card. Just remove the tools that artificially cover all the weaknesses a deck that utilizes such combos naturally has.

I for one do not understand how that is so hard.

Kinda had the same idea yesterday and I think Topsy Turvy + Egg could also be interesting.

Just always pick Jaina and rope on T1 = concede

(This is honestly kinda unfun after the first pristine match before you know what’s coming your way)

His deck contained binding heal instead of holy smite, so it’s (considered to be) another one

Lul, definitely
I played it a lot recently and I think my favorite scenario was 2 mind blasts before T9, then Zereks with Velen, Maylgos and both elementals (+thalnos). Mindblasts cost 0 and deal 20 (22) each.

Doesn’t mean the order is always like that and every rez hits Velen exactly after so many minions died. I played versions of these decks myself and it’s just not what normally happens. If it would, there wouldn’t be so many activators in there.

Saw this yesterday for the first time and had 3HP left as Big Spell Mage before being able to turn into Jaina (and I did not draw second artificer). Given that I had no idea what I am seeing there and that I did not know against which Win condition to play I kinda think that this will be very fun to play on the one hand; on the other I think it will turn out kinda weak and not reliable enough. 1 hit with a water elemental and I would have been at 6HP, with the priest having played absolutely everything he had besides his original Lich King and trash spells that do not do damage. He only won because he had a second Mind Blast in hand the next turn after having absolute God draw from Zerek into resurrect velen into resurrect velen into resurrect Malygos, Velen and Thalnos twice all game – also was his last card in hand and the rest in the deck without any draw.

I think on a second encounter, knowing the decklist, the BSM could rip this priest in half before breakfast.

I started to test Harrison instead of Ooze since I am one of the #neverlucky players, I keep having problems to draw a card that will get me my Kingsbane.
Granted, he‘s a 5 Mana card but with the additional card draw it’s imo worth it. Since Ooze is a tech card, it’s not important to curve with it. So the only downside I can see is that you cannot play it as early (which you would not want) and that you cannot use it as a vilespine activator from T8, only from T10 onwards.
Other than that, I think the effect is more valuable overall. What do you think about Harrison instead of Ooze?

Only guessing, wondered the same:

+Swipe = clear treants
+Starfall = deal 3 to all (more relevant, lookint at 3 drops)
+Deal +1 with spellstones, which can be upgraded of course but when you can’t, +1 is often nice to have

I would replace one with Thalnos if that’s the idea cause he does the same but draws you a card…
That’s what I can come up with

I could totally imagine something like purify coming back, but maybe this time it’s something like 1 mana silence all of your minions. If that happens that would be sick, you could choose between winning = keep DRs for the value and draw and losing = get 7 vanilla bodies with pretty good stats overall in one turn.

I really tried but other than that I am struggling to find an application and think this might need support. It’s got to be busted SOMEHOW I just cannot figure it out.

Aren’t the giants the last elementals that are still around in Azeroth from even before there were any humans and orcs though? I get that that’s not the case for all of them but sea giants for example are not elementals, even after the new patch, as they are of a different origin. Having a giant label would be awesome and crazy in terms or gameplay and possible cards, so I’d be all for it, great idea. But I think Molten & Mountain should be „Elemental Giants“.

Hmm yes, playing priest very often so i can totally see that. Thanks!

Has anyone ever played that card? (Before my time, I only heard it’s bad.)
And, lorewise, isn’t he hiding the fact he’s a dragon? I thought that’s why they didn’t include the label, so it happened on purpose.

It sounds so nerdy but I was really annoyed when I saw that Moonkin are classified as beasts and that giants aren’t elementals
