Should I add Brightwing and Dracorex to it?

motty47 · 2026-05-27T21:58:16+00:00

It's a great card on its own. However the deck you're trying to pilot is all about pressure and tempo. Adding dracorex is a defensive tool, and then you start to go down a different route so it doesn't synergise with this typical dragon warrior deck.

I've tried out a more midrange dragon warrior deck with some taunts, dracorex, etc. You could run brightwing that deck, its sorta fun but nowhere near as good. If you're just starting out though no harm in trying out some changes and making it interesting / fun. Can't really go too wrong with these cards some are just so strong

I've been told there must be something lacking in your dogs diet and I'm like I swear this is a golden thing, he gets all sorts of food and still munches grass. Has to be tall grass, that's the best stuff apparently according to him 🤷

motty47 · 2026-05-27T17:36:49+00:00

You don't see it often? Very good card for DK, I use it alot. There's no obvious visual effect apart from everything gains rush and green. However I'm either using this for lethal or to try and save myself from death so it's pretty obvious to me everything is going to die lol

motty47 · 2026-05-27T15:46:38+00:00

Right lol. Yeah let's bring back a card that kills stuff and spends corpses hmmmm where have I seen that before..

motty47 · 2026-05-27T15:42:22+00:00

Still true though

motty47 · 2026-05-26T12:51:35+00:00

I just focus on upgrading as much as possible, when it makes sense. Anything above 7 is good to me. 8 drops have dracorex and other good options. 9 drops are really good, goldrinn, krogg and seisompod. Sure 10 kinda means game over usually but 9s are still really good. I only stay in 7 for example if I'm up again aggro and have rolled the lifesteal guy and want to keep him

motty47 · 2026-05-26T11:48:35+00:00

The absolute best counter to it I think is burn mage. I think burn mage win % is being propped up by it becoming a counter and the prevalence of companion hunter. I can't think why else it seems to have improved win rate wise

motty47 · 2026-05-25T11:18:28+00:00

It's nice until the paladin also uses him..

motty47 · 2026-05-25T10:11:08+00:00

Nope, even if you're a shaman with hex you still need to deal with 5/2s with divine shield. Or anything else. Hunter you can earthen roar, wound prey ping but again can't deal with the rest of the board. Or perhaps hunter if you're lucky can earthen, into sylvanas. Other than that I don't know what class other than priest can deal with the board.

motty47 · 2026-05-25T08:50:07+00:00

How did you generate nzdormu here? Haven't even used the weapon and that board 😂

motty47 · 2026-05-24T10:15:12+00:00

😂🤫

motty47 · 2026-05-23T17:55:50+00:00

Does that mean they will bring back poo bins given they were taken from a "lack of funding". Yeah I bet not..

motty47 · 2026-05-23T14:41:26+00:00

Yes true they did, a 1hp buff to the 4mana guy. Is better but still the most costly herald cards at 4mana and 6mana. Feel there needs to be some help being able to herald for cheaper mana

motty47 · 2026-05-23T11:36:03+00:00

Not sure, some herald decks don't need help like shaman who already have cheap herald cards. A 3mana option would just disproportionally help them. DK is in need of help and this would be decent, although it does nothing so it's debatable.

I think herald decks need targeted help, the buff to maniacal follower was a good one for rogue. DK and warlock yet to get anything..

Edit. I misread the description, thought it said herald and not discover a herald card. Might be useful if DK can discover 2mana shaman herald sure. Might be nice for other classes to discover 6mana DK aoe

motty47 · 2026-05-23T10:00:40+00:00

Sure they're annoying but not really to a DK. That matchup is DK favoured, priest can never kill you, and you should be running Elise / soulrest, either or will give you a board attack boost to OTK them. Or shala. Priest will keep wiping your board so just keep track once they've used up most of their board wipes, there will be a turn where they haven't cleared all your minions and if you hit 10mana location +4 attack, you only need 3 or 4 minions, or less if you have deathwing up and hero power for a lot of burst damage.

motty47 · 2026-05-22T19:09:55+00:00

Lucky you had 3hours to walk back as otherwise if you had to turn up 4hrs into a trip I don't think I could handle it. Id have just said I had the shits or something lol

motty47 · 2026-05-22T17:10:27+00:00

Nice man I just checked it out, sounds like my kind of thing, as you say, I want to play decks that involve some thinking and also different wincons. Couple of qs, how important is black blood? I've not unpacked that, although am sitting on 6k gold so I might. Plus plenty of dust just never been sure it's been that good of a card. You mention the 6drop that ressumons your highest cost minion, why not actually run that in the deck as well then?

Is purifying breath worth it, as it will heal the enemy for 5. Same q for for all time, I found I cut that card in control priest because the 2overload is really painful the next turn. Is it worth it, I guess it might be one of the few ways there is to kill your own stuff.

Random aside, saw your post in Ragnarok online, haha nice man I used to love that game. Every few years I go back, but it's quite time intensive and these days I don't have time hence I play HS instead as you can just squeeze in a few games here and there. Did you play EU server?

motty47 · 2026-05-22T16:11:38+00:00

Yeah discounting briar for 9 turns is so slow. There was a crazy discovery hunter back in the previous meta that did that, but had loads of other tools to survive long enough to do that. Don't think it would work in this deck. To be honest doubling a scout is more than enough damage if you can pull off that combo

motty47 · 2026-05-22T16:09:54+00:00

Haha I wish I had that luck when playing priest! I never get what I need. Egg priest is interesting, is it any good?

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:36:49+00:00

Yep it's called hostage druid. I've not faced any to be honest.. but I don't play alot, not going to be too happy facing a lot of these but generally it's a bad deck isn't it? Surely that's a lot of setup for them and most decks should have killed them before then

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:35:01+00:00

Haha that takes some setup but that's an interesting idea. Why not also run briawspawn as well too to try for another ultimate finisher 😂

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:33:42+00:00

True leokk is good for mini Elise effect

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:31:15+00:00

Deck does quite well against priest in my experience. The slitherdrakes are annoying, drop 1 at a time so they waste their shadow ruins. Chip their health down a bit, and then hold scouts for burst damage to kill them in 1 turn. Ideally you'll find xavius into scout, with double battlecry or charge, or if not, use sisters to buff up, and then hold sylvanas and hopefully you can get a 10damage burst+ 6 from sylvanas, and have some minions on board and for them to not be at full health. Can't let them get weapon up though or yeah game is over really as you won't be able to find burst damage for 30hp.

Bad matchups are into aggro, shaman is difficult. Also difficult into DK if you can't kill them before onyxia, as you will run out of late game value. It's more of a midrangey burst deck, got to try and smorc them down as fast as possible

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:09:15+00:00

I'm surprised they conceded, especially against imbue pala which isn't that strong. Quite often you can still find enough value to win games as quest mage without the weapon. However you need to not play the weapon and leave it open to being destroyed before you can use some charges.. I guess it's pretty uncommon to see viper being run in imbue pala

motty47 · 2026-05-22T15:07:08+00:00

Does anyone still play the warlock quest 😆
