    Man, I've been having alot of fun playing the Combo Priest deck I've patched together (no Inner Fire, so it's missing a big part of the "combo"). But Mind Control is such a dick card. I feel bad every single time I play it.

    Early on if you're lacking cards, "thief priest" is definitely a very viable option if you have the cards like thought steal, mind vision, shadow madness, mind control, and if you're lucky cabal priest. Then add in some solid value minions, the shadow words (and shrinkmeister if you've got them), and board clears like holy nova, soul priest/circle of healing, and wild pyromancer. Youthful brewmaster is also great, since you can return a minion taken temporarily with shadow madness to your hand and it's yours for good. There will be times where you steal deadly poison from a rogue and can't use it, so it isn't the most consistent deck, but it can be a lot of fun.

    I made an aggro bolster warrior. I went 2-2 at rank 17 and retired it while I was still even.

    Aggro bolster? Like...3/1s behind taunts, or what?

    Low-drop taunts getting hit with bolster early for explosive starts. Some leper gnomes and weapons to hit the face. Think of it like token druid, except instead of tokens into PotW it's Tournament Attendee, Goldshire Footman and Annoy-o-tron with Bolster.

    Well, it sounds like that worked better for you than my face priest.

    yo, I can't wait to make face priest with mrrrglton work

    Yeah, that's pretty close to what I'm playing. It's kind of a theif/combo hybrid I guess.
    Circle of Healing
    PW:S
    Northshire Cleric x 2
    Divine Spirit x 2
    SW:P x 2

    Shrinkmeister x 2

    Holy Champ x2
    Lightspawn x2
    Sen'jin x 2
    Holy Nova x2
    Sludge x2
    Cabal Priest x2
    Mind Control

    If I manage to get a couple Inner Fire, I'll have to figure out what to take out to fit them and the Deathlords I already have (maybe a couple Djinni, too). But until then this is a pretty fun deck to play. Not all that ladder competitive, but I already hit 15 so I'm just having fun in Casual for the rest of the month.

    Do you happen to have some Crazed Alchemists lying around? They can be used as a sort of inner fire finisher.

    Countertrolling these Reno decks with mill rogue is the best. Although I can't seem to actually draw Brann.

    Bronzebeard in Dragon Priest is pretty neat. Not entirely sure if the deck needed it, but sure, whatever.

    I was leaning towards the Scarab, too. Getting a 3rd SW:D or a Velen's (especially since I don't have any) or a BGH (haven't gotten one of these from it yet, though) is really nice. But more often than not I've got a choice between 3 mediocre minions.

    I couldn't for the life of me figure why this Deathrattle Rogue opponent had Bronzebeard in his deck, until I killed his Unearthed Raptor and 2 1/2 taunts came out instead of 1.

    Then it was like, "Oh. Oooooooh."

    yeah... I can't agree about warrior being a good match up for druid. I regularly have dominant early games and don't win fast enough before they start generating 4-9 armor per turn and then it's unwinnable

    Should almost put Jeweled Scarabs in that deck so you get 2 more chances to put a Thoughtsteal in your hand.

    Additional deaths are always handy as well, and scarab into cultist would be pretty much the only way this deck has a chance of having an early board presence. Worth a try, at least. Would probably take out the MCT with it because it's just so rare to have the chance to MCT and not die, because their other three minions would kill you and what you really need at that point is a board wipe.

    If you use Unearthed Raptor with Brann out, you get 2 copies of the deathrattle. If you then use Raptor on that Raptor, you will have four copies of the deathrattle. If you then use Raptor on that Raptor.....both players crash and you can't start Hearthstone until the server dissolves the game.

    Mind telling me which you've got and which you don't? I can try suggesting budget substitutions. Though generally I'd just say add in early bodies like Dark Cultist/Zombie Chow/Shadowboxer, because earlygame is where this deck usually falters.

    Edit: Also at least one big late-game card to win games. If you have a big legendary lying around just toss it in there.

    Man, I've been having alot of fun playing the Combo Priest deck I've patched together (no Inner Fire, so it's missing a big part of the "combo"). But Mind Control is such a dick card. I feel bad every single time I play it.

    Early on if you're lacking cards, "thief priest" is definitely a very viable option if you have the cards like thought steal, mind vision, shadow madness, mind control, and if you're lucky cabal priest. Then add in some solid value minions, the shadow words (and shrinkmeister if you've got them), and board clears like holy nova, soul priest/circle of healing, and wild pyromancer. Youthful brewmaster is also great, since you can return a minion taken temporarily with shadow madness to your hand and it's yours for good. There will be times where you steal deadly poison from a rogue and can't use it, so it isn't the most consistent deck, but it can be a lot of fun.

    Is there a full decklist for this somewhere? Because it sounds like a blast to play. :D

    ...Okay, I've got 19 / 30 of those cards. Hrm.

    Mind telling me which you've got and which you don't? I can try suggesting budget substitutions. Though generally I'd just say add in early bodies like Dark Cultist/Zombie Chow/Shadowboxer, because earlygame is where this deck usually falters.

    Edit: Also at least one big late-game card to win games. If you have a big legendary lying around just toss it in there.

    I'll tell you the ones I'm missing. :D

    Not having either Auchenai or Lightbomb hurts, a key part of this deck is having a ton of board wipes. If you've got the new adventure Excavated Evil from this wing would make a good substitution for the lightbomb and the MCT. Wild Pyromancer is also good if you have it for more AoE. And then I'd just say fill it out like I said above--good early bodies, and some sort of big threat.

    Am I mistaken, or does Ethereal Conjurer seem like an auto-include in pretty much every Mage deck (except maybe Mech Mage I guess)?

    The theory is that at 5 mana you have azure drake, which draws a card and is a 4/4. Conjurer is a 6/3 which also "draws a card" (since most mage decks don't go to fatigue). The stat spread on the drake is better, and it gives +1 spell power. You would also prefer to draw the cards that are in your deck too right since you put them there. However, conjurer gives a spell, this could be your 3rd copy of a burn spell when you've already draw 2. However, of the spells that it could draw, most of them aren't great. I think it'll be worth a try to replace the azures with it, but I think the azures will win out.

    Side note - Brann does not work with Stampeding Kodo, or at least does not work with Kodo the way you'd think he would.

    Does he destroy the same minion twice?!

    I'm not sure if kodo targets the same minion twice, or if the first minion targeted is not technically dead until after the resolution of both battlecries.

    I think it might be the latter because I think Battlecries precede a change in the board state in the Hearthstone order of operations.

    Either way it's kind of bollocks because I thought that'd be pretty strong but now I'm not sure.

    It sounds like something that Blizzard *might* fix.

    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett

    You might not have it, but the second Lore is almost certainly worth a slot. I'd also recommend Haunted Creeper; provides a very reliable body to hit with Abusive/Argus.

    That said, I feel this deck would work a lot better in warlock, which is exactly what I did with Brann. Basically Zoo except I have like eight ways to give my minions +4 attack out of hand. Winstreaked up to 9 with it.

    Has anyone else been trying out Tomb Spiders? I made a version of Midrange Hunter that runs them:

    CUN97X1WIAAZxP_.png:large

    I think they're pretty good in the same way that King's Elekk is pretty good. That sometimes you just get a Highmane and win the game. Except in this case, it's a 3rd and 4th Highmane. Or, yknow, some other high impact Beast. Or maybe a pocket beast to trigger Kill Command or Ram Wrangler.

    I do think Tomb Spider on curve is... kinda slow? I mean, it's a 3/3 for 4 mana, bleck, right? But at the same time, it's another 4 drop and it provides options. I like it. Though, I may just drop down to one, and go back to running two Shredders. Shredder is too damn good, man.

    I'm not actually sure about the upcoming Desert Camel, though? I mean, you can get a 2/4 Camel and a Webspinner on board, and that's good and all. But is it worth the slot? Decklist already seems pretty tight and I'm not sure what I'd drop.

    Also it's kind of a pain when you're facing aggro, so who knows. Maybe it won't actually be all that good.

    I understand forgetting about Recombobulator when they made Emperor, but how could nobody have tried that in testing? Seeing 100 boom bots go off is like the first thing I'd try.

    It's also just REALLY bad coding. Someone wrote Recombobulator's function with either no fail condition or an uncaught exception, which should not be happening.
