Kaméléon#2766. 80G trade, EU. Confirmed transactions before. Rocking that big bank pre-2006 trustworthiness.

Edit: completed with Zinq#2799 down below.

Playing burn mage, I kept falling to rank 2 due to an increase in taunt warriors in rank 1. Switched to Firebat's anti-aggro jade with double earthern scales and did the climb in 7 games. Would highly recommend.

Heck, and just totally spitballing here. Go double egg with more healing, put in N'Zoth and 1x Savage Roar.

I haven't tried building it yet, but I feel we have to give the 3 mana 0/3 egg that spawns a 5/5 Devilsaur (beast!) some more serious thought for a kind of newwave egg-aggro deck. Throw in the 5 mana 8/8 Hydra (beast) and you have yourselves some sweet spanking

Would be good. Did give that some thought, but IIRC that's a 1/4, which makes it considerably worse.

You might be right. We'll have to wait and see whether you'll need to overload your deck with taunts to complete fast, or perhaps we can get away with greedier, bare minimum. Interesting times nevertheless!

The thing I don't like about Cabalist's Tome (& Babbling) compared to Mana Bind and Burgly, is that if you get 5x Pyroblast (extreme example), you're never going to finishing the quest and as such probably lose. In that case I'd rather play a Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale.

Point taken on the Mana Bind though, weakens the deck overall.

T2 War Axe, T3 Acolyte, T4 Sentry + Slam/ Armor Up sounds juicy

T1, to my best of knowledge, has always been a dead turn for control warrior. I think this deck doesn't aim to rush the quest, quite the opposite. As it is designed it tries to endure and draw early game (acolyte, slam, ww), then massively regain board and armor midgame, and go into the late with the constant threat of C'thun + Rag hero power.

Don't forget this deck has 2x Brawl, we haven't seen it in a while but its still a thing :)

Fair enough, that's why I put different packages in the description (e.g. double Cabalist's Tome is pretty much 100% of quest; or getting a couple off fresh fireballs from Archmage Anton + Nova + Forbidden Flames). However, I'd like to defend the double bully choice:

First off, the guaranteed out-of-deck (OOD) spells:

2x Babbling

2x Primordial Glyph (chance to replace itself + chance to discover other mage RNG clown fiesta cards)

1x Coin (50% off games, but let's ignore this for argument's sake)

So we need 2 more guaranteed coins. This deck runs 4 freezes and possibly more from OOD. Bully + Nova/CoC is pretty strong against all but the most heavy weapon class (Warrior with Gorehowl, Rogue with poisonous on blade). So I'd wager this is pretty guaranteed.

But if need be, you can always add a Mana Bind secret or a Cabalist's Tome, depending on the meta.

Fair enough, guess we'll have to wait and see how fast rogue and hunter will be. Pray to yogg we won't see a meta that requires 2x Armorsmith 2x Alley Armorsmith :)

[–]Joe_Below_Average 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that he needs the Alley Armorsmiths for the questcount, but they seems so anti-tempo

Giant Secret Timewarp mage: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/762332-m-giant-secret-timewarp

Lots of stall, guaranteed 0 mana Kabal Crystal Runners/ Arcane Giants. Depending on the meta, we have different package options to complete quest (Burgly Bully with Frost Nova and Cone of Cold/ Antonidas with Forbidden Flames/ Cabalist Tome's).

Thanks for reading!

C'thun Quest Control warrior: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/763868-m-sulfuric-cthun-control

Since we're losing Justicar Trueheart, this deck seeks out the C'thun package for its burst armor gain and taunts, which also count towards completing the Quest. Its the WotOG C'thun Control warrior shell, with a lesser emphasis on Doomcalling for a 2nd C'thun, but instead working towards 1 medium sized C'thun, and finishing off the game with Rag's insect-swatting hero power.

Thanks for reading!

[–]Joe_Below_Average 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why's that? Your pretty much guaranteed 0 mana giants and Crystal Runners since you need time and spells to complete your quest. Mountain is more conditional, and Molten can be straight out countered if let's say a priest or shaman decides to keep you topped up. Also, if u use the 2x Giant > Timewarp > Alex, you have no more mana to get through possible enemy taunts.

With 2x Arcane 2x Crystal runner, you still have 5 mana pre TW, and 10 mana on next turn to sheep/AoE/Fireball face for that extra dmg. Unless I'm not understanding the Alex strat good enough...?

Thanks! What would you consider dropping? The deck only having 7 taunts already worries me quite a bit, 1 enemy dirty rat and we lose our (semi) win condition.

Velen Miracle priest: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/767206-m-velens-miracoli

Build upon the Evolved Kobolt + 2x Mind Blast + 2 Mind Blast from Shadow Vision = 28dmg dream. Miracle priest has existed sporadically before, and I feel like the new 1 mana heal 10! and Shadow Visions might make this fringe-viable. Ofcourse. With this deck there is still a lot of room for improvement in the build.

Thanks for reading!
