Good ****, those are quality decks to start with.

What's your favorite deck in Hearthstone's history? I can probably recommend something similar

DwnWthVwls · 02-02-2020, 08:06 AM

OG Handlock, Highlander Kazakus Mage/Highlander Lock, Nzoth Hadronox Druid, and OG Force of Nature Druid.

Basically control.. but I was watching Dogg stream and he was saying meta seems to be all aggro atm since its new.

I played against a dirty hecarim deck that must of got god draw.. so many stats on board early from killing his **** and summoning 4/4 plus that unkillable dude that gets +1/+1 each time it dies.

I’d say invest in Shadow Isles mostly for now then. They are just a great all-around faction with some of the best control tools. Their early game package of Hapless Aristocrat, Cursed Keeper, Black Spear, Glimpse Beyond, Vile Feast are pretty much applicable in every style of deck, and then you can run crazy control stuff later like Rhasa, Hecarim, Ruination, or Ledros to end games. Control is definitely viable, but yeah the majority of what you’ll face is aggro. Its very easy to make aggro early on because the game gives you Elise for free and she’s obviously a 10/10 type of 2 drop

An important tip: you can use a card like Glimpse Beyond (kill a friendly unit to draw 2) on a blocker and the attacking unit will still count as blocked. This is a great way for Shadow Isles to get huge value out of little 1/1s. This does not work against Overwhelm units though, so dont forget that or you’ll probably lose a game doing this lol

You will also probably like Freljord. They have more great control tools and stuff like Avarosan Hearthguard really makes those kinds of lategame strategies great.

If you want to play the truly wacky control stuff you could look at Piltover&Zaun. Its the weakest faction overall so I don’t recommend it, but you can play cool control decks that are still viable that focus on OTKs with Ezreal or just spewing massive value with Heimerdinger. Personally I havent played these decks because I just dont have the resources to make those champs

Thanks Yorke.. and lol, OQB, that elusive 6/7 dragon or whatever combo'd with the 6 mana spell that dupes 2x has won me a couple games from way behind already.

How much time are you putting in to pull off 3 expeditions per week?

It's a lot lol. I'm probably playing 3 hours a day on average or so. I won't have to do 3 expeditions every day once my collection starts getting closer to full. I can already make a majority of the competitive decks though. Luckily several of the champions are either very niche or definitely not my playstyle, like Fiora, so it hasn't been too bad to fill out decks of what I want.

Pretty epic victory. You can see up top my opponent had Ledros in hand which does indeed deal 1 damage to the Nexus if you're at 1 HP, but I just barely managed to take him out in time. This was my first game with my new Ashe Freeze deck, which is a ton of fun.

I'm getting close to Silver ranked. It actually takes a pretty long time to climb the ladder, my winrate is like 90% so far but you just gotta get a ton of wins

Just popping in to say this game has a really stupid name.

alright elusive aggro decks really are ghey

game can be basically over on turn 3 (hell even 2) if they get the right draw

Best way to beat them is to go even faster, which is Noxus Spiders is one of the best counters. I’d also say the Ashe Frostbite build I’m running seems to handle them even when they get the nut draw
