Deck I’ll be running for a while because so far it seems to work well. Got a lot of different win conditions and its weakness lies in the somewhat weak performance until you hit 4 mana crystals.
Whenever possible, use the following win conditions with Shadowstep & Shadowcaster so you can trigger them multiple times:
– Reno spam
– N’Zoth spam
– Rafaam (+10/10 or 3/3 spam)
– Edwin
– Scaled Nightmare & Cold Blood
– Anub’arak (against control decks)
Don’t be afraid to use Shadowcaster to copy Dark Iron Skulker if you need another x/2 board clearer. Or copy Defender of Argus if you need more taunts. You can play/copy things up to 4 times, so pick wisely and depending on the game flow.
Don’t forget about Brann. He rocks together with Rafaam, Shadowcaster (to get 2 copies!), Barnes, and Dark Iron Skulker.
Fun deck to play because it’s hard for the opponent to guess what’s coming next. Every game feels a bit different playing this deck 🙂
EDIT: Replaced Peddler for Sunwalker. Seems to work a bit better and Emperor’s good enough to drop mana requirements.
Doesn’t work brann with dark iron skulker
Against divine shield minions it does 😉
I added Kidnapper instead of Anub’arak and have found great success
Do I need anub arak its the only one i dont have. Thinking about replacing it with Xaril maybe?
Should be ok, you have enough other win conditions 😉
Other legendaries you could consider: Chromaggus, Chillmaw, Ragnaros…all of which have more damage than Xaril. Having said that, getting another Shadowstep from Xaril is kinda handy for this deck and it’ll make you a bit stronger in the early game.
Don’t have hogger or Anub’arak, what do you think of Sunwalker & Harrison?
I mostly use Hogger as a delaying tactic. It soaks up 6 damage and kinda forces people to go for it or else face another 2/2 the next round. So Sunwalker’s a pretty good replacement.
Harrison isn’t bad, but no deathrattle. I like Anub’arak because sometimes I can spam him 2-3 times and then drop N’Zoth. What I like about him is that even if they clear him, I still got board presence after that due the minion he drops upon death. Kinda similar to Cairne. Personally, I’d rather have Chillmaw, Ragnaros or Chromaggus. Maybe Wobbling Runts? But you lose damage and your opponent will be less pressured to go after it than an 8/4 Anub’arak.
Heh, thanks to your post I am now seriously considering dropping Peddler for Sunwalker 😀
