NaviOOT ended up winning the Sydney Invitational this past weekend, so it seems only fitting to showcase his Warlock list. In Wild, you can even cheat it out using Voidcaller, which is just gross. That’s not even accounting for its Demon synergies. Short of something like Hex or Polymorph, Voidlord is going to provide six points of attack and 18 points of defense for a mere nine Mana. NaviOOT's Control Warlock (opens in new tab) It allows us to pay seven Mana for an 8-Mana minion and a 3/3 so long as we can find a way to trade it off.īuff Paladin decks aren't new, but they certainly received some sweet additions in K&C. Silver Vanguard, the card you may remember from our reveal, is another refreshing addition that can provide nutty value. With only six minions that cost two or less, your odds of hitting a Doomsayer are pretty high, which leads me to believe that this is simply being used as a Doomsayer tutor when needed. One interesting inclusion here is Call to Arms. While the only spells we’re casting on our minions are Spikeridged Steed and the new Potion of Heroism, hitting a Lynessa after several of these have been cast is very impactful.
Kranich’s Elemental Shaman (opens in new tab)Ī +4/+2 buff is no joke, and being able to repeat that while also getting a powerful weapon out of the deal can prove extremely problematic for a lot of opponents.ĭDaHyoNi ended up in the finals of the Sydney Innvitational and about 25 percent of his Paladin deck consisted of new cards, the main goal being to build toward a huge Lynessa Sunsorrow or a recurring Val’anyr. It's also fun to see a single copy of Doomerang, and the new Rogue legendary Sonya Shadowdancer, making the cut too. Unsurprisingly, this deck still has a real Miracle Rogue feel, but with a splash of K&C thrown in to keep it fresh. Speaking of which, Elven Minstrel is a powerful way to pull useful minions out of our deck (providing you can combo it) and also develop a 3/2 body on board-which is exactly what Rogue wants to do. I played against this card more times than I would have expected this past weekend, and it seems likely to remain a two-of in most Rogue lists. We also have Cavern Shinyfinder to shinyfind the legendary sword for us.Īdditionally, the deck sports two Fal’dorei Strider, which sets us up to draw 4/4 spiders that we cast for free.
It uses both Leeching Poison and Deadly Poison to buff the 1-Mana legendary weapon we'll be drawing repeatedly. Tutor effects are often strong, and Shinyfinder being almost certain to pull Kingsbane makes it a key card.Īnother deck from the Dutch master, but this time Kingsbane is the name of the game here. But that's a small price to pay for a total board wipe that avoids Deathrattles, and could actually be a minor benefit. In this deck, we’ll likely be shuffling a couple of our minions into the opponent’s deck. I initially saw it in Big Priest lists, which made sense since most of your minions come down after turn seven.
And if Corridor Creeper is eventually going to cost zero Mana, we might as well include one here!įinally, there’s Psychic Scream. Twilight Acolyte is another useful tool that allows us to take a good deal of the bite out of a troublesome minion. This Dragon-based list utilizes the extremely powerful Duskbreaker as a new way to stabilize while assembling the combo. There’s no arguing that the combination of Shadowreaper Anduin and Raza the Chained is the most powerful combo in Standard, but there’s always room for improvement. What rundown would be complete without a Highlander deck of some sort, which pretty much has to mean a Priest list. Now Priest gets a similar effect, but one that preserves their health and is attached to a 3/3. Hellfire and Abyssal Enforcer have always been vital in Warlock decks. This ensures that when Kathrena triggers, she is guaranteed to hit either King Crush or Savannah Highmane. As such, it eschews cards like To My Side and Rhok’delar, which work best with zero minions, in favor of another K&C legendary in the form of Kathrena Winterwisp. His entire deck only contains five minions. The deck created by Thijs is interesting for one notable caveat: he did choose to include minions, but only a select few. That’s thanks to numerous new cards like Wandering Monster, Flanking Strike, Lesser Emerald Spellstone, To My Side, and Rhok’delar, all of which compensate for running no creatures. We’ve seen spell-heavy versions before, notably with ‘Yogg & Load’ decks, but this is the first time the archetype has ditched minions entirely. One huge Hunter trope to come out of Kobolds and Catacombs was an archetype that lacks any minions at all. Summoning 12 attack worth of wolves is a powerful way for Hunter to reload after any AoE spell.
