Blizzard is back with another off-meta report! This time they brought us Odd Hunter, Murloc Mage, and Rush Warrior!
Have you been looking for a change of pace in Hearthstone? Maybe you’ve been wanting to try a new deck on the ladder, but don’t know where to start. Or maybe you want to play a class you haven’t really tried out before. If you’ve been craving something new and different, take a look at our Off-Meta Report and spice things up with some interesting decks that have been performing well in Legend!
If “face is the place” then this deck is where it is at! Pan piloted this hyper-aggressive Hunter build across the America servers with outstanding results. Baku the Mooneater brings your hero power damage up from two to three and cards like Blackwald Pixie allow you to take advantage of the damage boost multiple times in a single turn. Hunter’s Mark and Ironbeak Owl help to clear the way and Glacial Shard slows any trades that may look to remove your threats from the battlefield.
Guiyze surfed through the America server, with this build that looks to flood the board with fishy friends from this Murloc Mage minion deck! Wanting to overwhelm opponents, this deck’s awesome drawing capabilities, from cards like Book of Specters and Aluneth, paired with the likes of Archmage Arugal, help to keep constant pressure on the battlefield, all while setting up for a Murloc Warleader or Gentle Megasaur to end the game!
A modern-day Warrior deck with a mean, mean stride. This Rush style tempo deck brings with it some mean, mean pride. Being able to immediately attack allows for you to always choose favorable trades and keeps up constant pressure until you can close out the game with big plays from Grommash Hellscream or Leeroy Jenkins. Until then, Void Ripper helps to deal with high health taunts, pesky Doomsayers and even adds some surprise burst from Tar Creeper and Acolyte of Pain.
What would it take for Murloc Mage to be an actual meta deck? The concept seems pretty solid to me.
I think this deck fails against big wave of minions (taunt druid, recruit hunter…)
Wrong – favored against both.
This deck loses to someone that can outvalue them – odd paladin or odd rogue.
Some exclusive Murloc Mage minions would be huge. If Brrrrrloc was neutral or Mage, it would be much better than Murloc Tidehunter. Let’s wait for more expansions, since we’re supposed to get more Murloc synergies.
