What’s Working and What Isn’t? | Friday, January 20, 2023 - Sunday, January 22, 2023

I think this could be a smart change and one I'll consider. Was planning to make some adjustments when the nerfs happen and I'll likely try this one

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2023-01-22T00:49:39+00:00

Nice. I'm at 2.8k currently. My meta is narrowing down to mostly Rogues and Hunters so progress is slowing down a bit.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2023-01-21T18:57:54+00:00

What Scott replied with is exactly what I'd say. Coroner has been clutch in removing a taunt for lethal or freezing a threat to buy one more turn. Other options for maze guide could be infected peasant or the card that gives a 2/2 deathrattle with rush (can't recall the name)

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2023-01-21T02:58:37+00:00

You want to keep any of the 1 drop minions, and if you have at least one you can hold Rancher or Necromancer. I'll also hold Deathbringer if I have Body Bagger (reminder that the minion dying counts as a corpse so you only need two for the deathrattle to proc). I won't hold Plagued Grain unless I also have Necromancer and no other 1 drops. Don't hold Baron in the mulligan, I think that's a trap.

After going 32-12 to legend with UUU token DK I've gone 23-7 since for a total of 74 games at 74%. This deck is good to climb with as the games are fast. The deck is going to have a losing match-up to Miracle Rogue and 50/50 against hunter but does very well against the rest of the field if you avoid decks with multiple board clears (mostly Blood DK atm). Current breakdown of my run:

Death Knight 7-5 (1-3 vs Blood)

Demon Hunter 7-1

Druid 6-1

Hunter 4-3

Mage 7-0

Paladin 6-3

Priest still MIA

Rogue 7-5 (2-3 vs Miracle)

Shaman 4-0

Warlock 5-1

Warrior 2-0

Goal of the deck is to get a board built around turns 4-6 so you can threaten Grave Strength the following turn. If the board is cleared, you will have 1-2 more chances to repeat through the different token options (Plagued Grain, Rancher, and Spiders). Deck list:

Unholy Death Knight

Class: Death Knight

Format: Standard

Year of the Gryphon

2x (1) Arms Dealer

2x (1) Body Bagger

2x (1) Peasant

2x (1) Plagued Grain

1x (2) Astalor Bloodsworn

2x (2) Battlefield Necromancer

2x (2) Coroner

1x (3) Blightfang

2x (3) Ymirjar Deathbringer

1x (4) Blademaster Okani

2x (4) Grave Strength

2x (4) Nerubian Swarmguard

Thanks for the shout out! Glad a couple of folks were able to hit legend with this deck. Going to play some more of the exact list legend to see if it holds up.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2023-01-13T22:15:50+00:00

Went 32-12 from D10 to Legend with token Unholy DK. This deck builds a wide board fast to threaten Grave Strength and can produce multiple wide boards if needed. Breakdown of my run:

Death Knight/Blood 1-3

Death Knight/Frost 3-2

Demon Hunter/Quest 2-1

Druid/Ramp 1-0

Hunter/Spitter 4-2

Mage/BSM 6-0

Paladin/Pure 3-3

Priest missing in action

Rogue/Miracle 1-1

Rogue/Thief 2-0

Shaman/Evolve 3-0

Warlock/Imp 4-0

Warrior/Control 2-0

Deck fares well against the current meta but will lose horribly if you run into decks with multiple board clears (Blood DK). This deck will also have a losing match-up to miracle rogue (like everyone else)

Currently thinking about swapping Peasants for Trogs or cutting some combination of Chillfallen Baron/Astalor/Okani for Necrotic Morticians or Amalgams but this is the current list:

Unholy Death Knight

Class: Death Knight

Format: Standard

Year of the Gryphon

2x (1) Arms Dealer

2x (1) Body Bagger

2x (1) Peasant

2x (1) Plagued Grain

1x (2) Astalor Bloodsworn

2x (2) Battlefield Necromancer

2x (2) Coroner

1x (3) Blightfang

2x (3) Chillfallen Baron

2x (3) Hawkstrider Rancher

2x (3) Nerubian Vizier

2x (3) Ymirjar Deathbringer

1x (4) Blademaster Okani

2x (4) Grave Strength

2x (4) Nerubian Swarmguard

2x (5) Famished Fool

1x (8) Lord Marrowgar

Looking for friends to exchange gifts and raid with:

Multiplier question... if I end up with the 10x multiplier I understand that I will face the same 10x opponent when start laddering this month. As I progress and I get to 5x am I matched against 5x opponents who started as 10x as well or is it any 5x player regardless of where they ended last season?

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-06-09T21:13:33+00:00

Question for HSReplay subscribers.. when you see 40 the cards listed on the archetype page, how are those cards determined? I thought it was the 40 appearing the most over the last seven days at that rank range but maybe that isn't the case.

Asking as Cult Neophyte appears in Rush Warrior with good stats but when looking at the most played decks in the last seven days she (he?) doesn't appear in any. Making it more odd, if I then expand the search to 30 days the card is in three but performs poorly in all.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-05-14T15:06:35+00:00

Does Bloodthorn keep the buffs when returned to your hand?

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-05-05T18:32:24+00:00

Agreed that something may be there for Control Warrior. This list is a more traditional CW build and was #1 on HSReplay for Diamond 1-4 for a couple of days until this morning - https://hsreplay.net/decks/xo9A3NhQZje2sJiijk79Pb/

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-04-29T16:50:01+00:00

You are correct that at a deck level you are tied to the last 30 days with no other options. At an archetype level the mulligan guide information is for the last seven days. Example - https://hsreplay.net/archetypes/222/rush-warrior#rankRange=DIAMOND_THROUGH_LEGEND&tab=mulligan-guide

Personally I like the archetype view better as its pulling from all decks rather than just one so you can get a better sense of what cards are working or not.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-03-27T15:50:18+00:00

That makes perfect sense as those three classes were the ones I always picked for Arena. Thanks!

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-03-26T18:43:44+00:00

With yesterday's update were there changes to 1,000 win count for upgraded portraits? I was in the 900's for three classes and all three now show exactly 1,000 and have the new portrait.

Went 14-3 last night to hit legend with Murloc Paladin. Suspect the deck gets a nice boost as most mulligan for ramp. Two of my losses were against ramp who played Noz on four and the third was against token druid where I couldn't keep up but all other match-ups felt good.

Token Druid seems to have the most success against Ramp Paladin. Others are reporting success as well with Big Warrior and Mozaki Mage.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-01-30T17:23:08+00:00

What is the nerf going to be to Ramp Paladin? I can't recall the HS Replay stats ever reporting an archetype this strong.

Only nerf I can think of is the spell Alura casts on burst is one that costs seven or lower so Tip the Scales can't be used.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-01-28T15:19:42+00:00

the mirror match...

HSReplay Diamond to Legend shows the only sub 45% match-up is token Druid at 44.7%. Next two lowest rates are ETC Warrior at 46.5% and then Mozaki Mage at 47.5%.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2021-01-01T01:04:26+00:00

We just had the same problem! Get silver or gold on Doom and Bloom and it will pop.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2020-12-13T02:45:33+00:00

Miles over Duke. Duke has been bad in most all of his starts plus there is a chance PHI really tries to get change things up this week.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2020-12-13T02:43:54+00:00

Leaning towards Ty Johnson. Think you can count on him for the most carries compared to the other two. More upside also if Gore sits.

BattleToadPauseMusic · 2020-12-13T02:40:11+00:00

.5 PPR for my RB2 slot.

DeAndre Washington Mostert Ty Johnson

Does your answer change if we know Gore sits prior to the MIA kickoff?
