[Theorycraft] Shudderwock Meets Da Undatakah

Da Undatakah was spoiled today, so naturally I went to work!

Shudderwock May have been the most hated card from the Witchwood, but it was one of my favorites. Playing the typical Saronite Chain Gang + Lifedrinker combo was alright, but I went all-out with experimentation with Shuddy. So here we go again!

—-Why Da Undatakah?—–

The new card, Da Undatakah, will grant Shudderwock three deathrattles from among your minions. Those three minions are Goblin Bomb, Leper Gnome, and Plated Beetle. 

    —Leper Gnome and Goblin Bomb are the win condition. Dealing four face damage every time Shudderwock dies will kill them in the same way as Lifedrinker, but faster!

    —Plated Beetle is like the life gain from Lifedrinker, but its armor so its better

—–But how do I kill my pesky Shudderwock?—–

That’s where Injured Blademaster fits into the equation. After playing both of these, Shudderwock will deal eight damage to itself and die, triggering the deathrattles gained from Da Undatakah. 

Now, just like the average Shuddy combo deck, some luck is involved. You’ll need to hit Da Undatakah trigger before Injured Blademaster kills Shudderwock, just you need Saronite Chain Gang to go off before Grumble, Worldshaker. 

—–But, will it work?—–

No.

Not all of the time, at least. Things will go wrong, Grumble or Da Undatakah will misfire, but sometimes it will get you where you need to go! I’m excited about trying this out and seeing how well it works, but I’d also appreciate some feedback. I’m considering Bog Slosher over Zola the Gorgon, but I’m not sure yet.

Thanks for checking this out!
