Thanks for your input!
I do like [card]Sky Gen'raal Kragg[/card] over [card]Truesilver Champion[/card] because in the late game you can copy the rush if you need to, and provides better board presence if you can make some value trades. [card]Truesilver Champion[/card] is not a bad option though if you don't have [card]Sky Gen'raal Kragg[/card]!
You do have some …
good idea! there are probably 1-3 flex spots in the deck so you could maybe try replacing an [card]Acolyte of Pain[/card] or [card]Candletaker[/card] (since we can complete easily with [card]Shotbot[/card] now). In the games I was playing I didn't see too many giants or big Edwins but if you are then I could see how [card]Subdue[/card] or even [card]Shrink Ray[/card] …
[card]Da Undatakah[/card] is a great value card! However it is just a little too slow in this meta. a turn 8 or 10 that doesn't impact your opponents board is tough to survive. And this deck already generates so much value with [card]Mechano-Egg[/card] and [card]Mechanical Whelp[/card] and [card]Kangor's Endless Army[/card] in the slower matchups that we don't need anymore value. …
We have 2 coins in the deck with [card]Licensed Adventurer[/card] and the coins are more versatile. [card]Elemental Evocation[/card] only grants 1 more mana that turn compared to coin but is far more situational, and sometimes can be a dead card in hand or not get too much value from it if you topdeck it late game. [card]Elemental Evocation[/card] is also …
You're welcome! Glad you're having fun with it :). It really does feel like the old school Wall Druid with [card]Hadronox[/card] haha
Res priest is probably one of the worst matchups but that's just the way it goes. Fortunately, there aren't too many of them on ladder
There isn't a single deck in standard that can kill you by turn 4. The most aggressive decks in the meta are Token Druid, Pirate Warrior, Tempo Rogue and Face Hunter. In all of these matchups, [card]Predatory Instincts[/card] greatly increases your win rate because none of these decks run silences so a Big [card]Winged Guardian[/card] is game over. If you …
haha maybe not, I like him because he's very off meta and an 8/8 so he's not bad to get with [card]Strength in Numbers[/card]. [card]Sathrovarr[/card] could work as well but would definitely hurt to get him from your deck without the battlecry. Another replacement could be [card]Alexstrasza[/card]. She's still an 8/8 which is good to get for free and …
I haven't faced too many Res Priests yet, so I can't say for sure how to beat them but I would try to not play the sidequest, [card]Strength in Numbers[/card], because you don't want to pull a [card]Splintergraft[/card] or [card]Ysera, the Unleashed[/card]. Their battlecries provide too much value in that matchup. Against aggro decks, I did change the deck to …
[card]Plague of murlocs[/card] is a pretty good replacement (although not as fun lol)
Thanks!! finally made it :D
Glad you love it! Yeah, you can have some pretty crazy turns, especially when you get 0 mana cost giants and 0 mana cost sharks on your swing turns! Every game feels really intense like that :)
I don't think [card]Grand Lackey Erkh[/card] is a great fit in any Rogue deck, simply because Rogues don't like infinite value, they like …
Exactly!! All the card generation and cheap lackeys are perfect synergy for the giants :D. And drawing 0-mana cost giants always feels so good on your swing turns haha.
I appreciate the upvote, and I'm glad you're liking the deck!
Hahahahah at least I can move a mouse and type on a keyboard, that's all that counts. thanks so much for the kind words!! <3
Good question! The deck is already a bit more expensive than your typical Tempo Rogue list so another 6-drop is very clunky to play. We can always do better than playing a 6 mana 6/6, and we don't necessarily need to tutor our Galakrond to win games since we have so many other threats. Galakrond is just a nice bonus …
Good luck! I hope it works just as well for you too :)
yet another solid looking shaman list by Donnie!
How do you feel about [card]Electra Stormsurge[/card] in here? thought on why/why not? and same for [card]mutate[/card] over [card]zap![/card] ?
Loving the [card]Krag'wa[/card] btw :)
great work!
You're welcome! :)
[card]Sandstorm Elemental[/card] is definitely better, especially against all the Galakrond Zoolocks. I did take out [card]Archmage Vargoth[/card] for the [card]Bone Wraith[/card] as a tech cause I was facing so many aggressive decks like face Hunter, aggro Zoolock and Pirate Warrior. But if the meta you're playing in is slower, then [card]Archmage Vargoth[/card] is definitely better.
haha you beat me to it! I just updated it :)
I like your thinking! :). However, since this is an aggro deck and board control is everything so we can't really afford to have a dead card in our hand in the early turns of the game. The same reason Quest decks aren't as good without Questing Explorer or some kind of card draw - starting with 1 fewer cards …
Wow!! I'm glad that it's working out well for you :). Good idea on the [card]Expired Merchant[/card] as well! Even if you dont hit a [card]Leeroy Jenkins[/card], another [card]Wargear[/card] or [card]Zilliax[/card] isn't too bad either
