I think Lifedrinker together with Nightblade might be a little overkill. However, you could ofcourse try to go for an OTK version of a Shudderwock deck. This would require you to play Murmuring Elemental and Fire Plume Harbringer, however the core combos are more or less the same as with this deck. I just think that you already have your win condition set up as soon as you play your Shudderwock and necessarily require an OTK to win. Therefore, I put my focus more into survivablity and consistency than in additional combo oriented cards. But I do see the advantages of an OTK deck and I think the meta will play a major role.

Yeah I agree, Far sight does help you cycle through your deck and it is quite cheap for 3 mana. I have seen some decks run Bogshaper as another draw mechanic, however I think it is way to greedy, even though you would run cards like Unstable Evolution and Zap. I don‘t know, it just seems really slow to me at 7+ mana, whereas Far sight offers value at a cheaper cost, as you mentioned. Bogshaper might see play in more midrange/minion heavy decks though.

Kalimos’ battlecry does indeed require you to play an elemental during your previous turn. This is the reason why I run Fire Fly in this deck, since its battlecry allows you, in combination with Shudderwock, to consistently have an activator for Kalimos.

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I think Hagatha and Primordial Drake are really strong cards, because their battlecries immediately effect the enemy minions and Shudderwock can then easily prevent the opponent from building up a board. It was a close decision for me between Hagatha and Kalimos and it is honestly still hard to tell, which one offers more value. Hagatha is more consistent, whereas Kalimos’ battlecry is more versatile. I think we have to playtest our decks in order to know 🙂

Your version with the murloc quest looks interesting too. I can definitely see the synergy, however I do think that you might end up each turn with a full hand at the later stages of the game. You would already have a win condition with Shudder, which is why I don’t know if the quest is necessary, but you can’t until you try it out!
