Arcane Yogg Pally [Standard S40]

Deck plays similar to a heavy control Pally… plenty of AOE and Board Clearing effects, removal, life gain and a few big bombs.

Wild Pyromancer is clutch for your survival and interacts in many more ways in this deck than just with equality. It can be a board clear with adapt –> poison, but is also good with +3 health and +1/+1. 

Acolyte of Pain also becomes more valuable with the possible pump through adapt or spikeridged if left around. 

Hydrologist is great for adding spells, especially with a getaway kodo or two while slowing the game down in trades. 

Might drop one ivory knight for one stampeding kodo for more consistency/curve/curator synergy, but the extra spell + life gain is very synergistic with this deck…. needs more testing. 

Hammer of Wrath might not seem good enough in the 4 slot vs Truesilver Champion, but it feeds the spell engine while drawing, and still hits some key cards in the aggro matchup, notably murloc warleader and seacaptain and flametongue. 

Medivh might be overkill, but is the bomb in control matchups when combined with Lay on hands and spikeridged and discovered knight spells. 

Arcane is key win condition and often comes out for 0 faster than you’d think. Yogg is easy to make big and should be used as more of last ditch effort tempo swing.
