I mean a lot of combo decks are supported by "accident". Stuff like Holy Wrath pally, Shudderwock Shaman, Topsy priest aren't things they ever saw coming, at least they didn't see them being real decks coming. Sometimes they print cards that have clear combo implications but they don't support it as hard as control/aggro. It's rare you see a card like Mechathun, and they're usually bad (Hakkar).
Did they really not see Holy Wrath Pally coming? How is that possible?
That's one of the ones where I meant they didn't see it being a real (meta) deck. They likely knew about the combo but probably didn't think it would be a real thing. The general consensus in the community was it was a meme deck at best, I remember even pro players laughing about it when Shirvallah was revealed. I remember that decks emergence well, it was over a month into the new expansion before it was on peoples radar.
Wait, So does it kinda work like Rolling Fireball, or is it just "deal 3 damage to an enemy minion, if it dies, deal 3 damage to one of its neighbors and that's it?
I think it will continue to chain onto more minions until one of them survives

I came up with it when I realised Cobalt Spellkin will always pull some combination of Mana Burn and Consume Magic, since those are the only 1 mana DH spells. I couldn't think of anything to do with that, but it got me thinking about other neutral cost-affected things, and how Demon Hunter will affect that.
Also, I'm aware this is a super meme and not exactly consistent. Maybe you build it as a tempo core, and just have the combo as a finisher. So, you still soften the opponent up with Imprisoned Antaens and other generally good cards. That way you might not need all 36 damage.
Very creative using Arcane Dynamo. I will expirament with this some when the expansion launches. However, there are 4 other Demon Hunter spells that cost 5+ mana, what are you planning on doing when you don't pull exactly 2 Inner Demons?
No I would never want freeze mage back but let's say you are playing control and want a decent finisher aside from easy stuff like zeph. Where do you go. I've been looking at desert obelisk. Still no real way to pull this off well in standard and mogu cultist where Rogue is the only viable class in standard to pull this off after rotation. Maybe it's the masochist inside of me but I want to fight for my wombo combo
I am aware this is a meme. I am aware that Mages become Immune, Druids have 30K armor, and Warlocks have a board full of taunts on turn 5. I am aware you need 11 cards to do this. But, I think making this dream happen is the perfect excuse for me to dip into Wild. I just wanna punch a Priest in the face, with no way for them to stop it.
Thanks guys for the replies. Since I wrote this I've found a few more combos so it's not completely dead. Mainly involving the augmerchents but we all know how 6 card combos pan out. I can see why they want to minimise otks in standard but does this hold up to the statement that they want to cater to every style of player. I'm not so sure
When someone attacks and kills the blocking creature with a spell before the ally attacks, the attacking creature then doesn't hit the enemy nexus, is this a bug or it's intended for some unknown reason?
Is there a reason you are playing Sideshow Spelleater instead of Sir Finley Mrrgglton? Finley costs 5 less mana and you might give your opponent a worse hero power than yours.
5th April update: Kael'thas Yogg Jade Druid vs C'Thun Warrior: Battle of the Old Gods! (1080p)
Zeddy's Jade Druid has taken me to Diamond Rank 5. I'm thrilled with that result on day 5 of the April season. One game that I really wanted to showcase was a battle against C'Thun Warrior. Yogg vs C'Thun! A really interesting game...
I was actually thinking that the art is way nicer from up-close, as some of the details are totally lost when rendered the size of a dime ; still some good ol' nightmare fuel ^^
I mostly remember all cards, even play with some that never see play... Then you showed me Bloodscalp Strategist and I realised I didn´t even remember it existed.
Would love to try Hireek too but never opened him and can´t really justify crafting him in a budget.

MTG Arena - Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Card Spoilers April 4
This set looks super fun!
I really like the art and card concepts of this set. For example, that shark with arms looks dope.
Bug on attack?
Yes that's how it works. The only exception I know are Overwhelm units, they'll strike the nexus anyway.
Bug on attack?
It's intended. Didn't really like this interaction in MTG, don't like it here, but it's not gonna change.

Ultimate Demon Hunter combo meme
Hear me out... Demon Hunter has very few spells right now. That means Arcane Dynamo has a large chance of pulling Inner Demon. So, Kael'thas Sunstrider - Twin Slice, Second Slice, Inner Demon, Twin Slice, Second Slice, Inner Demon, Blur, Blur, Inner Demon, Consume Magic, draw into Mana Burn, Inner Demon. Do it with Warglaives of Azzinoth, and not even a Voidlord will stop you. That's 36 or more damage.

I really had to check if Ghostly Charger actually was still Standard. And yes it was. Not that I would've seen much Paragon of Light either.
