NB: this deck is super fun but has now been deprecated in favour of the much more viable deck I built called "Anka's Sandtroopers" - https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/7390



Hey guys, MemeMachine here back again with the memiest of meme decks, I'm taking you way back old school to the Old Gods with everyone's favourite, C'Thun.

This deck is still a work-in-progress, but it is so much fun I wanted to share it ASAP.

So, how does a C'Thun deck work when the only C'Thun card in the deck is C'Thun?

Draw through your deck using Elven Minstrel, and Gadgetzan Auctioneer with cheap spells like Preparation and The Coin from Cutpurse and Tomb Pillager.

Once you have Carnivorous Cube and Anubisath Warbringer in hand, play Anka, the Buried.

Then when you're holding C'Thun, play the combo - Baron Rivendare, Spiritsinger Umbra, Anubisath Warbringer and Carnivorous Cube the Warbringer.

You will have a 1/7, a 3/4, a 7/7 (with a deathrattle that summons two 9/6s), and four 9/6s - with a 36/36 C'Thun waiting in hand.

Enjoy!

    I know this is a meme deck, but in order to have fun with this, you should first and foremost, survive the early game. Most of the deck is consisted of dead cards (the combo pieces and cards to assist the combo resolve earlier) and you also have quite a few dead turns (like Gadgetzan Auctioneer turns, the Anka, the Buried turn and the 10 mana combo pre-setup). Being passive as Rogue won't help you last long (especially with decks like Odd Rogue, Odd Paladin, Even Shaman, Secret Mage etc lurking in all ranks), so you may need a more tempo oriented package  and I guess some taunts?! Also let's not discuss the fact that disruptive combo strategies like Dirty Rat, Deathlord and others can cost you the game from a vital combo piece loss.

    That being said, I would cut both copies of Tomb Pillager, Cutpurse, Walk the Plank and the whole Gadgetzan Auctioneer package. I would add a combination of cards like: Deathlord, Tar Creeper, Pharaoh Cat, EVIL Miscreant, SI:7 Agent, Dark Iron Skulker, Sludge Belcher and see how that turns out! Good Luck!

      Hey :) Check out the "new version" of this deck - https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/7390 - same shell, tweaked combo. Seems to work well, I just beat an Odd Paladin and an Even Shaman.

      Thanks for your comments! I know what I am about to say is going to sound crazy - but I already tried what you are suggesting prior to this current version of the deck. Guess what my winrate was with the tempo version of the deck? 0%. I'm not exaggerating - it was literally 0%. I played about 10 games, didn't win a single one. Bad luck? Lack of skill on my part? Maybe. But the moment I switched away from tempo and arrived at this version with low cost spells, Cutpurses, Tomb Pillagers, and Auctioneers it just worked. I started winning games and pulling off the combo.

      I totally acknowledge combo disruption is a thing, but as a long time combo player I've decided I won't change my deck to account for bad luck. I played a few games with this deck yesterday and someone played Dirty Rat and it hit a Gadgetzan Auctioneer instead of C'Thun. You win some, you lose some.

        Did you manage to beat any one of the archetypes that I mentioned earlier with your current deck version? Because these are some of the main threats you find on ladder. Against aggressive decks ( like Mech Hunter) this version won't last till turn 5 without any defensive/survival tools. I play meme and combo decks myself too, trust me.

        Of course you may win against another combo/passive deck, but aggressive archetypes will ruin your fun for sure.

          Yeah, I actually beat Odd Paladin. I dunno. Needs more testing for sure, definitely needs more anti-aggro tools, not arguing - just stating factually what happened during testing

    dang, that is one ridiculous combo!

    I wonder if it would be better to run a charge minion instead of c'thun. if you play [Hearthstone Card (stonetusk board) Not Found] instead, then you will have a 31/31 charge minion that can garuntee go face. and if you happen to have a Coin then you can play the entire combo on the same turn.

      Yep, that could also work - I just like the idea of C'Thun for style points. Nobody expects the Old Gods :) Also, you need board space to play a Stonetusk Boar on the same turn anyway, which you won't have. Give it a try and let me know?
