With the introduction of Shirvalla in the expansion of Rastakan Rumble, the combo of Shirvalla plus Holly Wrap was popularized as one of the most viable decks otk of the aforementioned expansion, although its strength decayed after the nerfeo of "equality". On the doorstep of the next expansion, we abandon letters like Uther of the Ebon Blade, Righterous Protector, potion of heroism, Zola the Gorgon and spiny mount, this guide aims to give an account of the concept of the deck and which cards could be included in this new expansion .

The main idea of ​​the deck is to perform between 25 to 50 damage to the enemy hero with the Holly Wrap card (in some cases we will only need 25, while in others we will need to do more damage). In order to achieve this, we will need to have a control strategy with high use of expensive spells that will reduce the cost of Shirvalla to zero (remember that this card reduces your mana cost according to the amount of mana spent on spells). Once Shirvalla costs zero mana and we are in a fatigue situation, we will proceed to go down to shirvalla, down augmenter elek and put between 2 to 4 copies of shirvalla in the deck with baleful banker. The next turn will proceed to use two holly wraps that should perform 50 damage to the enemy hero.

Against aggressive decks, Belligerent gnome replaces Righterous Protector, and will allow us to gain time to generate responses. Another card that could be crucial is consecration that could reduce the number of enemy minions or set them against other spells. Crystology could be an option to consider in the mulligan to get Belligerent gnome, Bloodmage Thalnos or novice engineer. A new combo to perform and that would serve as a defensive measure would be the use of lightforge blessing with Wild Pyromancer, which against a large field could perform a considerable cure. In many matchs, the match will end even before the combo is made, so the use of Shirvalla to destroy the enemy attack could also be considered.

Against slower decks, cards for drawing cards such as Bloodmage Thalnos, Crystology, or the new "Call to adventure" card are reasonable options because here the strategy of the combo is probably the one that gives us victory, and stealing cards is our highest priority to enter in fatigue and ensure that Shirvalla is the card we are going to steal with holly wrap. Finally, for the purposes of greater draws, the inclusion of a jepeto could help us to improve the chances of winning because not only would it help us to reach fatigue early but it would probably allow us to reduce the cost of several combo pieces such as shirvalla, balefule banker or augmented elek.

Sorry for the english, and hope your feedbacks :D
