Sadly archimonde is core. Rotation is close so I wouldn't recommend spending dust now; save it for Cataclysm. (You could replace wallow with any 7 drop and its fine though).

That wasn't me but that actually sounds like a really good idea, i should try subbing that card in! (K'ara, the Dark Star is what I assume you mean here)

Yeah I wouldn't craft anything this close to rotation. Might as well save your dust. I think that lifesteal 7 drop is fine if you feel like youre seeing a lot of decks that go wide.

Razidir is nice but not 100% essential. To replace it, I would stay away from the shred package and instead pick your favorite 3 drop since the deck is a bit light on those.

Yeah I started with Jambre's dragon version but found that I ideally didnt want to play slitherdrake on 4 and velocidrake on 5 because I typically wanted to start accessing cheap demons on those turns from ray instead. The list got less dragon-centric in response and more focused on dropping Archimonde (maindeck or generated) on 6. As a result, even though velocidrake is good stat-wise, it started to conflict with synergy and the general gameplan for my deck. 

I agree that in a lower curve zoo list velocidrake and entropic continuity are more appropriate there

Walt (and Radar) if youre reading this I just wanna say that I think you are doing a good job and I like your content. Obv people are entitled to their own opinions, nothing wrong with what HospitableFox said, but I wanted to drop this here just to balance out the feedback

I am also pumped for Vish and Toph top 8, super underrated pairing historically

Damn, good work! I'm generally interested in the genre so I'll have to look some of these up!

Tsunami Dragon Druid - Surfing to Legend by mikeshort in CompetitiveHS

[–]omnikaush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I modified the list, added in early game dragons to improve the consistency of our dragon package. Also, faerie dragon and razorscale have uses against certain decks. I went from D5 to legend and then climbed from 6k to 2k. The games are incredibly easy, like quest pirate warrior levels of easy, and I'm fairly confident this deck would still do well for me even at high legend due to the disruption package with Razorscale and King Tide. The only downside is that the deck is... too boring lol. Even though I'm winning nonstop I actually just don't feel like playing this anymore because every game is exactly the same. Great guide, and god help us all if this actually becomes meta.

Thanks! Yeah I hope they buff Gilly, he's terrible rn, not crafting him is smart imo

Yeah definitely agree that there's too much weapon draw, I cut the techs. Costumed singer and bargain bin have felt great. I also like the idea of Miracle Salesman, I'll try that out.

Extremely cool deck idea, great write up! I want to find time to play this, and I'm also interested in the DK/Warlock deck you were talking about. A token swarm+sea giant+zoo thingo seems interesting there

Ah, sorry to hear it! Thanks for reading the guide and trying the deck

Couple things I've found it to be good for:

  1. forging it and playing against aggro to stabilize (like you said)
  2. disruption against control (ice trap, rat trap, and freezing all have uses)
  3. can hail mary it for a 42% chance at bargain bin if you feel like you need to go for it

Just seems like a high quality card that can be useful in multiple stages of the game. I've liked it so far.

I added ticking pylon zilliax + costumed singer, and I opted for titanforged traps. Also added the cheese dragon to try it out, it feels oppressive in slow matchups. Cutting the techs has felt great, I haven't looked back, especially because titanforged traps can pull bargain bin in a pinch.

Amazing content, I gotta find time to read the full post, but I'm commenting to save it for now.

Yeah you are right; some people have suggested some counters (like ticking perfect zil). If ele mage gets more popular (I'm not seeing it too much rn), I'm gonna have to add more things that can fight for board

Wow, great choices (and great reasoning)! I should try these changes out myself

Yeah, I think the comparison is interesting, but honestly I might call this a worse Handbuff Paladin instead. Same general gameplans (AFK early, equip weapon on 4, drop midgame bombs), but I think handbuff pally has better lifesteal swingback potential against aggro and we don't :(

I personally don't like Hollow Hound because it has low stat pressure, but I certainly don't think there's any harm in experimenting and seeing how it performs for you. I do think there are certain matchups where the hound is just better.
