Mulligans
General Mulligans
Getting the unremovable Helya unending plagues is key like most plague decks. Opt for hard mulligan for it unless one of our strong 1 drops are available.
No SteamCleaner in standard? No worries. Made it from D4 to 10k Legend as a casual player so far with this deck. The goal of this deck is to find as many plague producing cards as possible to put into the opp deck while also drawing mid and late game suppport all of which can’t be steamcleaned now.
Only 3 new cards are needed. Card reader helps you find Helya or high draw cards, and combining the new hero power with the buffed only 2 UH rune plague, puts in extra burst on board , gets our corpse count going for our 2 drop or cheap 1 cost removal and draw gets out hero power card for late game dmg/discover hero power. Also with the opp not being able to clear his plagues or our 8 max 2/2 corpse, it gives us plenty of undead board opps with new buffed no rune acolyte draw.
Going Blood with Plague build helps beyond using the new hero. Maw and Paw becomes sticky with the early removal and small minion build. Giving us bonus health to give the opp more time to draw plagues. And runes of darkness gives us 4 more plagues for each extra staff found, on average usually one misses then we have 2 option weapons to freeze, and 2 that lifesteal giving us robust flexible value at just 1 mana.
Hope this helps, enjoy
