so for anybody who enjoyed sludgelock OTK, I suggest you try out the latest monstrosity making the rounds : Insanity warlock turns out its pretty easy to rip through your deck as a warlock to activate Reno, and Popgar offers a wonderful stabilization tool combined with Crescendo the deck falls over to burn decks, but its basically an automatic win against slower decks the finisher combo is Felstring Harp or Void Virtuoso to nullify damage, then Lady Darkvein to setup a double Encroaching Insanity, and finally Defile or Shallow Grave to pop shades resulting in instances 5-8 of fatigue damage (26 total) ### Warlock # Class: Warlock # Format: Standard # # 2x (1) Chaotic Consumption # 2x (1) Felstring Harp # 2x (1) Fracking # 2x (1) Glacial Shard # 2x (1) Tour Guide # 2x (1) Void Virtuoso # 2x (2) Baritone Imp # 2x (2) Crescendo # 2x (2) Defile # 1x (2) Shallow Grave # 2x (3) Encroaching Insanity # 2x (3) Furnace Fuel # 2x (3) Scourge Supplies # 2x (4) Crazed Conductor # 1x (4) Pop'gar the Putrid # 1x (5) Lady Darkvein # 1x (8) Reno, Lone Ranger # AAECAf0GBIfqBMCSBYCeBq+oBg2lkgXHwgXIwgXdwgXmxQX0xgXI6wXu/QWJmQaEngbTngbXogb3owYAAA== # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone # Find this deck on https://hsreplay.net/decks/3rpZY4xVq1eyUQMwoODhP/ Excelzior fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I tried this and the deck has no way to pressure your opponent before the combo and its not an OTK. I did not like it.

I'm having the hardest time evaluating the hunter/dk 3 mana discover a beast and undead and swap their stats the cards slow as balls and wildly inconsistent, but you can also get silly hits like Freebird/Thaddius for a 4 mana 11/11 charge or nerubian swarmguard + amplified elekk for three 6/12 taunts, both of which can happen turn 4 on curve I hope that it's too weak to see real standard play because the card seems obnoxious at best

shaman and paladin joining the excavate classes shamans get 4 mana nature deal 8 damage to a minion and excavate paladins get 4 mana undead/beast 3/4 battlecry gain two bonus effects and excavate dual class card is 3 mana give a minion divine shield + windfury and excavate paladin's azerite card is give +3/+3 to all your minions (hand, deck, battlefield) shaman's is evolve all your other minions to ones that cost 3 more but keep their original cost (hand, deck, battlefield) both get an absurd payoff card in Finley, 3 mana 2/3 if you've excavated twice transform all enemies into 1/1 murlocs

12 straight wins, cruising into the final 2 in Battlegrounds for a really good chance at the spicy pretzel. My opponent had 26 life, and barely did any damage to the 3rd place and 0 damage to 4th place. ..Then they manage to hit 3 triples in one turn. Still get a win, but it’s small and not a knockout. Draw, win, lose lose lose and get 2nd because their Murloc build scaled exponentially and found tech cards against my linearly scaling Undead army and can’t find any big cards to fill it out. Dammit!

thoughts on the miniset: Druid is going to be a loving nightmare, they got so many insane cards it's kind of bananas DH got kinda shafted but Quick Pick is a good general card and I think the 1 mana rush elemental is a strong card waiting for the right deck The priest cards are ok, nothing insane but some annoying cards like shadow word: steal that will make the cut Rogue didn't really get much either but as the current meta kings that's fine Warlock is the other big winner of the set behind Druid. The 2 drop, the huge 4 mana elemental, the trogg, and the freeze are all very good and the 6 mana fel spell is good for the beatdown sludge decks Mage didn't really get much but the freeze card is good and I think the jury's still out on Mantle Shaper Hunter got one ok card in shimmering shot and a whole bunch of crap DK's set mostly underwhelmed but mining casualties is a really good corpse generator Paladin and Shaman are in a funny situation where their excavate cards are pretty bad and the Tier 4 treasures are honestly not very good either (the paladin one is stronger but it's also incredibly boring) BUT Finley is such an absolute monster of a card that I think both classes will just play a half excavate package like how Warrior did before the blast charge buff Speaking of Warriors I think they're going to get a ton of attention since Brann is pretty hype. The totem is also really good

If you care about replaying the stolen minion, Synchronize + whatever removal will usually be better and is far more versatile. If you don't care about replaying the minion, and you just want it removed, SW: Steal is a worse Drown. That said, greedy priests will probably run it anyway because they're that kind of person

Both Drown and Cannibalize rotate soon, so even if it doesn’t see any play now, it’ll probably get revisited.

There were a lot of fun cards in the Year of the Hydra, but I am not going to miss… basically any card from March of the Lich King, Path of Arthas, or Return to Naxxramas. Maybe Hope of Quel’thalas and Prismatic Elemental.

Same here - I enjoyed Sunken City and Nathria, but the March of the Lich King expansion was easily my least favorite out of the last 6 expansions in Standard. Anachronos being my one major exception.

They introduced a few bugs in this patch and unintentionally nerfed Valarok back to his pre-buff state. I already miss my janky Wild crazy play-all-the-Valaroks-possible deck. Hope the revert won't take too long.

It's a case of having all the pieces in hand, and OTKs are part of card games, but the fact it's possible at T6 as first player feels pretty bad when there's so little points of interaction. (Be Mage and have an Objection! up? Idk.) E: Whatever, just ventin'.

been playing some more Insanity lock the miniset cards (board freeze, geode draw) fit well into the deck, turbocharging your draw and further preventing your opponent from threatening you it is exceedingly easy to force a tie whenever you would otherwise be in a losing position I really like the deck, but its losing so many cards on rotation to get too attached to it.

Okay, so it turns out that if you put in Maruut and one each of all five Druid cards, then take out all the awful filler (Embrace, Disciple, Drum Circle, Prison, Starlight Whelp) that was in the deck before, it suddenly becomes incredibly fun. The six mana ramp spell is absolutely nuts — you can have double Eonar with a backup in hand while your opponent is staring forlornly at six mana and excavate two. You might not even need Wild Growth and/or Nourish anymore. I’d like to find room for either Fizzle or an ETC with Fizzle in it just for some extra security against Reno, but I’m torn on what to cut…
