The Finley Brotherhood
- Highlander Paladin
- Wild
- Theorycraft
WELCOME!
Up until now, Paladin was the only class I couldn't make when it comes to Reno decks. Lack of good AOE cards is the key reason. However, with new Finley printed out, I think I should give it a try...
HOW TO PLAY?
You have three strategies to follow...
1. Deathrattle: Main focus of this deck. Deathrattle-related cards are shown below...
Summon Deathrattle minions via N'Zoth or play Umbra followed by a good Deathrattle minion to abuse her hard. Discount cards via Emperor Thaurissan whenever possible to execute your strategies for convenience. Speaking of discount...
This combo is sick if you discount. It's like semi-N'Zoth when you think about it. Also...
He is at yours to command. Kill your Shredders, then play him. He acts as semi-N'Zoth after resurrecting Mechs and offspring coming from Mechs if you think about it. You can fetch him via...
To start resurrections. If not, Sneed is also good target. If you hit Grand Archivist, you will open your doors to new strategy, which I will explain now...
2. Big Spells: Your spells cost 5-Mana and above, so it's natural to name the strategy as it is. Can be named as Spiteful strategy thanks to Spiteful Summoner. Let's have a look at Big Spells...
Ranging from 5-Mana to 10-Mana, you can summon average minions via Spiteful Summoner. For me, hitting Enter the Coliseum to summon Trade Prince Gallywix would be sweet. If you don't like this strategy, swap Spiteful Summoner with Skulking Geist to eat Jade Druids and Quest Miracle Mages at breakfast.
However, I insist that you should stick with Grand Archivist because he is your trump-card. He will help you get out of dire situations. Let's say your opponent is Murloc Shaman and the board is full of Murlocs while you have nothing. What's worse, you don't have AOE cards (Enter the Coliseum/Shrink Ray) in-hand. If you summon Archivist (either via Silver Vanguard or play from hand) and he finds Enter the Coliseum, you will take the lead. Your last strategy to follow is...
3. Murlocs: It might sound weird at start because Murlocs belong to Aggresive decks by nature. However, they can be utilized as mini-N'Zoth thanks to Anyfin Can Happen if you think about it. Let's have a look at Murloc-related cards...
Play your Murlocs solo, then you can summon 5 Murlocs via Anyfin Can Happen. However, there is one way to summon more Murlocs...
Discount these cards via Emperor Thaurissan if needed for convenience. Then, play these cards as shown below...
- Murloc Knight >>> Hero Power >>> New Murloc >>> Old Finley >>> New Hero Power >>> New Murloc
- Murloc Knight >>> Hero Power >>> New Murloc >>> New Finley >>> New Hero Power >>> New Murloc
Same can be applied to this trio...
- Nexus >>> Hero Power >>> New Spell >>> Old Finley >>> New Hero Power >>> New Spell
- Nexus >>> Hero Power >>> New Spell >>> New Finley >>> New Hero Power >>> New Spell
I want to remind you that...
Murloc Tastyfin can fetch you the Finley Brothers. Whenever you find them, play them to fetch Priest/Druid/Warrior Hero Power to survive. The Finley Brothers can be considered as Heal/Armor cards when you think about it. Sweet, right?
I'M OUT OF CARDS...
It's alright, who doesn't, really? I'm here to save your wallet with budget options...
Remove | Add |
With reasons explained below:
- Silver Vanguard: If you want to remove one of 8-Mana minions, remove Vanguard because he is not that good when you have two targets to Recruit. As for replacement, Sunreaver Warmage seems befitting because of Big Spell synergies this deck has.
- Sneed's Old Shredder: Gorgeous shredder of all. If you don't have him, swap with Mechanical Whelp.
- Spiritsinger Umbra: You can combo Kangor's Endless Army with Archmage Vargoth if you don't have Umbra.
- Eadric the Pure: He is like your "AOE" to "reduce the damage output". If you don't have him, Equality and Sunkeeper Tarim are good alternatives.
That's all for this deck. If you have any questions, ask me right away. I am also open to any valuable feedback you can give to me. I will be glad to take all of them. Have fun in Wild format!

Midrange Reno Pally? Interesting, will def try to tinker with it. Already can question why no Tarim or Zilliax? They are just too good to pass up imo.
Edit: murloc stuff feels underwhelming, not sure about spiteful. Mech/deathrattle seems good tho, will test more.
Reducing damage output is done far better with Eadric than Tarim. If needed, swap Tarim with any card you don't have. As for Zilliax, resurrecting 3/2 is worse than other Mechs in this deck via Kangor's Endless Army. Also, Rotten Applebaum is far better than Zilliax thanks to N'Zoth.
As for the other stuff you are not sure of, only testing will reveal all. Thanks for the feedback, I hope you will have a blast playing with this deck.
But Zilliax is magnetic? If you dont want it resummoned, just buff something. I even added 4 mana 2/4 with divine shield, same reason, really. It also makes Kangor's more proactive, which is good. And since I dropped all murlocs besides Finley, because even best case Anyfin is underwhelming, it makes space for both Zilliax and Rotten Applebaum anyway. Some other additions: Tirion (surprised he wasnt in a deck to begin with), Loatheb, [Hearthstone Card (Mecahno-egg) Not Found], Deathlord - in short, full deathrattle.
So, your approach is Magnetic based. I like that. For me, I want to summon Mechs without any buffs attached, which is enough.
I understand your style. Have a look at this, which may be of good use for you.
Nice guide, but I think its a 'win more' deck.
Well, nevertheless, Im going to try this deck, that's for sure)
More like, "have fun" 😋 Having three main archetypes as strategies is sth you will rarely see. I hope you will like it while testing.
