is there a reason why there isn't a copy of Baleful Banker in this list?
From what I can see, if undertakah gets silence or transformed, you've only the prelate to save your day.
mana mostly, you can't play banker, sunfury, and undatakah on the same turn, against aggro the taunt is more valuable and they don't play transform effects except off of lackeys or other random generation. So i value the taunt more than having two 'takah's. I can see the use of it, but it's not really something i could rely on.
And against control you can usually bait out their transform effects pretty easily, without them even knowing you are playing a combo deck like this one.
Oh YES hearthstone more lucky as fuck rogues that discover legendary dragons out of this air. I love getting morozonded twice in the same game and then alexstrazad right after. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I. PLAY. AGAINST. A. ROGUE. Please always let them discover walk the plank whenever they play the goddamn spell lackey, please always let them always continue shitting on my face. Pure skill.
I wonder if the cast works for card effects since it is your hero casting spells. If you cast a secret does it buff secret keeper for instance. Will be an interesting thing for sure.
No, because SecretKeeper specifically says "When a secret is played." which requires it to be played directly from your hand.
Scroll of wonder isnt your hero casting spells, yogg isnt your hero casting spells, this is the first time a hero card is casting spells. Aka a hero casting spells. Even zuljin another hero card doesn't cast spells itself it recasts them. We dont know for sure if this will be a thing. But thanks for sounding like you knew for sure.
Also I wonder what the hero card for druid will be, since we just hot elise(one of the explorers,like reno) and a treant themed cosmetic hero so recent. A dragon maybe? A horde character maybe?(yeah right lmao)

Crafted floop's Glorious Gloop for this deck, played 5 games 3 against zoo, 1 against quest hunter and 1 Galakrond Shaman. Couldn't win even a single game, deck looks fun but in this aggressive meta i doubt if its gonna work.
I'm sorry to hear that, I'm free to play and I always never wanted to craft floops gloop myself until I started playing around with gonk and I agree that this deck is super slow and hard to win with, but I have surprising won a lot of games with it. I haven't really kept track but out of the 30 or so games I've played I bet I could wager I've won about half of them. Quest priest really screws with this version of the deck but if you bait out the infiltrators you have a shot.
And yeah I agree again about the agro heavy meta not helping you out. Shaman is a class and before the nerf to dragons pack you couldn't even kill the wolves on board with this deck at all. That's why I'm currently looking into other things for this deck. Without quest.
Sweet, I love Gonk. I always say GONK out loud when I hit the opponent with Gonk in play. (I don´t, but I should).
One thought: Isn´t Zul'DrakRitualist (the 3/9 taunt that spawns 3 dudes) a great fit for Gonk? It can be played early as defense, compared to summoner. Not like it is super great if they remove it, but against a lot of decks it isn´t too bad. And 3 dudes is usually enough for Gonk fodder.
I also think that maybe quest is a little bit greedy, but it´s fine because it is sweet. :)
Yeah the quest is super greedy with this deck and lately I've been trying to make a version without it(I posted a link to my dragon gonk druid below) that relies on board control instead of massive healing like this one in order to combo. With the ritualist I thought about it, but the whole point of this deck is the ability to combo without a florist turn. Double claw double pounce is six damage that's enough to kill usually anything on board against a mid range deck and aggro deck and after that you can. Play even more claws if you played floop gloop making you have massive damage without needing to kill that many minions. With a deck as slow and playing behind as quest druid playing a 7 mana 4/4 florist was just straight up a bad idea so I really wanted to not do that.
I wonder if this will launch out of another card, that'd be interesting, you have to fire a shot from something afterall, and like everyone else i am not looking forward to MECH PALADIN being good, but i honestly want to see it.
Might need to look for a specially made Gonk simulator. Like how someone built this Test Subject simulator https://patashu.github.io/Combo-Priest-Simulator/
I don't need a working one, i just need something that lets me place cards on the board and put cards in hand, it doesn't need to actually show the combo, the combo is pretty self explanatory, i just need to set up a board state.
If i wasn't so lazy i'd make it myself in photoshop lmao
I was looking for this forever the other day to show off how simple the win condition for my gonk deck could be without using florist. But i couldn't find one after looking forever, all i could find was a couple reddit posts of people asking this same thing forever ago(like 5 years ago) and getting shit on in the comments by people not even giving an answer because it was supposed to be an obvious solution i guess. glad to see reddit hasn't changed, it's always been shitty.
Still though after further looking i found one that works kinda, but it only has cards from Explorers and it included some cards that didn't even exist, in hearthstone so i stayed away from that after it crashed after me tinkering with it for about 5 minutes.
Is there a simulator where i can set up a board state? Or should i just give up and try to rig one up by taking a screenshot of me fighting the innkeeper?
So far i've played 8 games with this version, all casual mode, where there are people like me testing out decks, so take it with a grain of salt, but i did fight 2 priests both with Grave Rune and Convincing Infiltrator so i think it's pretty good.
All in all 8 games all wins, 3 enemies GONK'D so basically only 3 wins. Maybe need to add a pounce instead of the MCtech since that didn't seem very good, since i was trading the entire time.
Spirit of the frog with weapon into the mage legendary dragon soul card will be disgusting if the right deck enables it.
Rogue and shaman keep getting good shit every expansion...
I enjoy these a lot, whenever i see them. Please keep it up!

If you want a lot of wins in HS you should give up on wanting to play a deck you'll have fun playing.

3 mana 4/3 not good enough for a card like this in aggro. hand disruption is nice to have but this ain't it chief
