TinSonSay’s Dollmaster OTK Mage (December 2018)

“Dollmaster OTK” Mage  — guide by TinSonSay

Mulligan:

– The cards to really look for are Aluneth, Luna’s Pocket Galaxy, and Primordial Glyph.

Gameplay:

– Aluneth: this card is interesting in this deck. The deck packs so much other card draw that at times it’s difficult to even get Aluneth down without risking burning cards, while other games the weapon was a necessity. To keep Aluneth from killing you, this deck features a slow but sure anti-fatigue strategy in the likes of Augmented Elekk and Baleful Banker.

– Augmented Elekk: this card plus Baleful Banker essentially allows you to avoid fatigue entirely. With some luck, this combination also allows you to get “infinite” copies of any other minion(s) in your deck, such as Carnivorous Cube and Charged Devilsaur.

– Charged Devilsaur: this deck features two alternate OTK’s. The first being discounted Charged Devilsaurs with Carnivorous Cubes, which has limited damage potential. For matchups where this damage isn’t enough, there’s Mecha’thun plus Voodoo Doll.

– Dollmaster Dorian: with Aluneth equipped, this card gets interesting. You often luck into deathrattles, taunts, and Doomsayers, as well as extra targets for Cube and Banker.

Pitfalls:

As always in my deck deck guides, I like to point out some of the pitfalls of the deck. By pitfalls I mean the ways for the deck to really fail at what it’s intended to do. These are things to watch out for…

– The deck packs limited AoE and comeback potential, so any opponent with a faster start could run away with the game.

– Burning/playing even a single copy of Augmented Elekk or Baleful Banker before executing the full combo can prevent the deck from going “infinite”. It’s essential to hold on to these minions in any match where fatigue is a possibility, thus rendering them dead cards in hand until that time comes.
