July is almost over and Scholomance Academy is getting closer and closer! We're all excited to see the new toys this set will bring us, but in the meantime, don't forget to play some games and have fun.
If you want to try something fresh or already established archetypes but with a twist, here are some off-meta decks you should give a spin. Craft wisely and, as always, enjoy!
Deathrattle Carpet Rogue
This list features some underplayed cards such as Anka, the Buried, Anubisath Warbringer, (which wreaked havoc on ladder together with Necrium Apothecary just a few months ago) and Cursed Vagrant. Reduce the cost of your big Deathrattles with Anka (pretty much the cornerstone in this deck: you can't find a worthy substitute) and throw them at your opponents with Magic Carpet or use Teron Gorefiend for some easy mass-procs.
Funnily enough, Galakrond, the Nightmare's nerf actually created an interesting synergy with Magic Carpet that could be worth exploring.
Soup Zoolock
The OG Zoolock with Flame Imp, Voidwalker and Soulfire. With a sprinkle of Discard. And a sparkle of handbuff. And some spicy why are you hitting yourself? If you include every possible package in a deck, then the list must be nuts, right?
Murlock
If you are a passionate fan of Murlocs like our Linkblade91, then you'll love the next two featured lists! The first one is pretty much a Discolock but... something's fishy...
Murloc Dragon Druid
Now that Fungal Fortunes got nerfed, it's time for Breath of Dreams, Druid's other broken early game spell, to shine. And that means only one thing: that's right gentlemen, we're playing Dragons Murlocs!
Have fun with underplayed units like Skyfin and Tasty Flyfish, but still win some games with Savage Roar and Ysera, Unleashed! Mrgllll glrrm gl!
If you've read until the very end, congratulations: there's still something! I hid a rather particular easter egg in the article: the first user that manages to find it will receive... absolutely nothing other than a well played! Let the hunt begin!
Comments
I started playing this list today. It's a Dragon/Face Hunter hybrid list running Teron Gorefiend for some fun shenanigans. It's actually doing really good on ladder too!
Mrgllll glrrm gl means: I will Kill You
Wait.. how y'all know this?
Apparently, Murlocs have a language of their own
Oh thank you, mmmrrglllm!!
Btw how to insert link shown as sentence like you did there? So much mystery on the internet.
When you are inserting a link there is a thing that says "Text to display". Write whatever you want in there and that is how it will appear.
I read the article and am truely amazed.
Is the easter egg that Mrgll glrrm gl actually means "I will kill you!" ?
Considering Murlocs, those are some seriously harsh words.
Aye someone actually nailed it: here's your well played.
Awesome! :) By the way, that Dragon Murloc Druid deck looks WAY too fun not to try out. Thanks for that!
I think that Druid deck deserves to be called "Breath of Murlocs" as per banner image.
Fair point: agreed.
I really enjoyed this write up. I have always preferred off-meta. While they may not be great as other off-meta decks, they certainly have their niche when focused on Tier 1 decks and destroying them.
I am most curious about your noted Soup Zoolock and Deathrattle Carpet Rogue decks you highlighted though. They look super fun.
Carpet Rogue is actually a Legend worthy list: I even have some stats (18-8 with a 69% winrate) I found on the internet, but unfortunately I lost the screenshot of the player I took the list from and therefore I wasn't able to give him credit :(
I guess my loathing of Murlocs has become a meme.
Looking forward to your reaction to the upcoming Scholomance Murlocs sprinkled here and there with no apparent reason
i.e
"Why are you" links to Diseased Vulture
"hitting" links to Neferset Thrasher
"yourself" links to Darkglare
That was just a fancy way of mine (and others) to write the captions: you can do it too!
Here's what to do:
1) as always, write the card's name and click the "Card" square;
2) the usual card code is [card.]CardID or Name[/card.] (added dots to make the code appear in the post);
3) add text="what you want to be highlighted" in the first square like this: [.card text="Rag"]CardID or Name[/card.];
4) there you go.
It's a pretty cool way to shorten long names of famous cards or to just meme a bit.
Thanks for that Avalon, my site signature is now finally complete!
Mwahahaha *Evil laugh* ahahah >:D
Easter egg?
why are you hitting yourself
highlighting the three cards that give damage to your hero ... is this one?
