Building Singleton Combo Druid

Submitted 5 years, 3 months ago by

As more cards from the new expansion get announced, one deck in particular interests me more than any other: Singleton Combo Druid. The things I like most about the prospect of this deck are the various packages you can include in it, and the various possible win conditions. Malygos Combo, Linecracker Combo, King Phaoris boards, and many others that I have not thought of. The amount of draw is a complicated question that I feel can't really be answered completely until we get to play with the deck itself. The decklist posted below is my attempt at building it, with justifications for the different packages included in the guide. What do you guys think? How would you build this deck? Does it have any chance against Warrior and Mage?

    Your moonfire and bees are listed as duplicates? Shouldn't that be singletons as well? Or you wait playing Elise until later.

    The second! I included a line about it in the guide. Double Moonfire is needed for the Malygos combo (and you don't want to Elise the Enlightened before drawing them both anyway), while BEEEES!!! is just such a versatile card for removal, Linecracker combo and Ticket Scalper draw combo that I felt it would be worth the decreased activation chance for Elise the Enlightened. I'm not 100% sure about double BEEEES!!!, but I feel like double Moonfire is essential.

    Yea double moonfire for sure! I bet you could be even greedier and add stuff like a second wrath or crystal power. The elise combo is a 5 card combo anyways, the moment you pull that off, your deck is probably near empty. 

    Ok no, that’s not entirely true. You could trigger elise with only the moonfires in hand but still. 

    I for sure like the double beeees!! I like the idea of a non singelton Elise deck as a whole!

    Stuff like that is exactly why this deck excites me so :) There are so many flexible ways to potentially build and play the deck. Those are the best combo decks, like Patron Warrior. Way better than the combo decks which basically just work towards 1 combo and that's it. Those decks are basically the same every game.

    How would you build that greedier version with second Wrath/Crystal Power?

    Zephrys the Great is an awesome addition to this deck :D

    Zephrys is insane and has to be included in every singelton deck for at least a month! But he doesn’t work well with double moonfires and Beees.

    PS: i would ditch the bone wraith. There has to be something stronger.

    Bone Wraith is really just there as an anti-aggro tool, whether he needs to be included or not kind of depends on the amount and power of aggro decks. Maybe it should be replaced by Oasis Surger. Zephrys the Great definitely clashes with double Moonfire and BEEEES!!!. Maybe that's another reason to cut out the second BEEEES!!!.
