You guys are clearly missing the best combo here.

Play Pyro, and then play Muster for Battle.

REPORTING FOR AAAUUUGHHHHH!!

So today I was watching the PVP Live tournament (Kolento, Neirea, Strifecro, Xixo, and Backspace are the notables, with a few other less popular tournament players like Faramir and Chakki), and Faramir had 2 cards in hand, one being Muster in hand. Opponent clears his board with Shadowflame, killing a Piloted Shredder. Summoned a Wild Pyromancer. True story. He was of course wise enough to not play Muster, but he did topdeck a Quartermaster. Oops.

Not pictured: Avenging Wrath, Archmage x2, Stormwind Champion

Ended up losing the next game because I mullied into both Archmages and a Madder Bomber. Tried to fight back into it, but didn't really stand a chance. Dream died. Won the game after that though. Wanted the 12-0 so badly. Only my second 12 wins.

Haunted Creeper MVP.

I'm loving this priest deck that I posted further up in the thread. It destroys the traditional control priest decks (the ones with soulpriest, circle, blademaster, etc), and seems to have a lot of options to deal with most decks.

Question: What deck category does that fall under?

Its similar to a midrange priest Forsen was running a while ago. Like that deck, I'd probably try to find a way to squeeze pyro and PW:S in

Forsen's 30:

1x Holy Smite
2x Light of the Naaru
2x Northshire Cleric
2x Power Word Shield
2x Shrinkmeister
2x Wild Pyro
2x Dark Cultist
2x Ogre Brute
1x Shadow Word: Death
2x Velen's Chosen
2x Burly Rockjaw Trogg
2x Shadow Madness
1x Spellbreaker
2x Holy Nova
1x Vol'jin
2x Cabal Shadow Priest
1x Holy Fire
1x The Black Knight

I don't really care for PW:S. it feels like a wasted card to me.

Pyro also feels kinda squishy to me.

If you have both and play them concurrently you end up with a 3/3 Pyro and 1 damage to everything else.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #585 on:** December 24, 2014, 09:49:27 PM »

I'd rather get a 3/4 for the 3 mana.

I've been in a lot of situations where PW:S is just kind of a useless card in my hand.

But a 3/3, 1 damage to all other minions, and draw 1, with Pyro still going waiting to go off (which sets up heal combos)? That's worth 3.

I really don't know how PW:S can ever really be useless in your hand. At its very worst, its a draw 1 for 1 and you get the benefit of buffing some minion on your side of the board. Like it can never be a dead card (except at fatigue) because it just replaces itself.

For the life of me I can't seem to get past 4 wins in arena. It's like I hit a wall that just says "NOOOOOPE" every time I play. I got to 3-0 tonight, then lost 1, won 1, then lost the next 2. It's so frustrating.

browarod · « **Reply #589 on:** December 25, 2014, 11:38:32 AM »

So last night I decided I wanted to try a Randuin-esque deck, but I'm missing most of the legendaries you need for it. I filled in the spaces with some of the random cards in GvG and came up with this:

So far it hasn't won a single game (but I think Randuin is supposed to be fun not necessarily competitive, lol) and it seems short on drawing. Any suggestions for improvement while keeping the theme? I don't have the dust to craft any legendaries so "add Sylvanas and Rag" is not a good suggestion.

Man I got so close

Now I'm back down to rank 2 2 stars. I guess I'll never make it

I was running a variation of Xixo Zoo. I ended the season at rank 2, but at least I got golden warlock now. Still upset that I couldn't quite make it.

Chris · « **Reply #593 on:** January 01, 2015, 11:26:11 PM »

Mind divulging? I'm running Xixo Zoo to decent success (December was my second best month). I'm curious what variation you're running.

Sure when I get home and have better internet so can bring back up hearthstone. Some of the changes I remember are that I stopped running Sea Giant (because BGH is too popular atm, and its your only target for it in the deck. People expect Sea Giant from Xixo zoo now, and often hold their BGH's until then), I don't think he had both 2 lepers and 2 clockworks, but I did, and I'm running 2 Dark Irons and 2 Argus even though he was only running 1 of each IIRC.

I also have 2 dark bombs in at the moment (though I didn't have them in at the time I reached rank 1 5 stars) because I feel like the deck lacks both direct damage and the emergency reaction cards to a zoo that is out zooing you at the start. I feel they fulfill a similar roll to the soulfires that used to be run before the nerfs, albeit definitely weaker, but I feel they are still pretty strong.

I almost feel like cutting the flame imps tbh, because they trade so poorly with the early drops in about every deck except mech mage, because a lot of deck are running 2/1s now. I might try switching them with zombie chows, because I think a 2/3 is better than a 3/2 in this meta, but I don't know for sure yet. Also chow does buff undertaker, though it is admittedly a really bad top deck late game. Flame imp is also a pretty bad late game top deck too though.

Actually that record goes to the Redemption Official Online Tournament thread that got 120 pages in one year.

But this thread is still impressive.

Blake, I think I'd steer away from Zombie Chows in Zoo right now. When you're playing any kind of control decks, especially Warriors which are extremely popular right now, you're already in a raise to get them to zero as quickly as possible. Giving your opponent 10 health is effectively surrendering against a well-designed control deck with an average draw. I like the Undertaker synergy, but in practice, I don't think it's worth it.

I mean its not just the undertaker synergy, its the need of a strong 1 drop since I'm liking flame imp less and less now. Yes Control Warrior is popular right now, but so is zoo and hunter, the later two of which chow is very strong against. Also, with Warrior I feel its actually LESS likely that the chow deathrattle will be relevant, because it often takes a while until you are actually chewing into their health as opposed to their armor. Its possible that its still not worth it, but I've always felt the downside on chow was definitely overstated.

Of course chow is an absolutely terrible late game draw.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's my current deck list. Its not exactly the same as the one that reached rank 1 5 stars, but I don't remember all the differences and its close
