No the only reward is a card back for beating ALL heroics which is pretty lame :derp:

I'm assuming you mean all heroics for all 5 weeks.  I've beaten this week's and no reward.

[Suikama]

Yeah I mean all 15 bosses

[Raikaria]

I've made a fun Druid deck that actually makes good use of Poison Seeds. [Them Deathrattles man; those Imp Masters]

[Suikama]

goddamn heroic loatheb is a huge pain so i had to go full huntard

[Conqueror]

so, how did you manage to get 3 25+/1 hounds on the board? :v

[Suikama]

Loatheb's gimmick is he has ridiculous HP and does a ton of damage to you every turn but his removal spells drop spores that give all your minions +8 attack

So after he drops a bunch of spores just unleash the dogs and everything dies

[Suikama]

rip meta

[Bio]

but the meta is zoo
its all zoo from here

[Raikaria]

but the meta is zoo
its all zoo from here

And then the Military Quarter comes out and Deathknight stomps them. What does Zoo do about a 2/8 taunt? Except trade 3-for-1 at best and lose all their required earlygame momentum.

But yes egg is stupid for Zoo. 'Hey you ant to use that boardclear to regain board control after the earlygame? NOPE. ENJOY MY FOUR FOUR.

[Bio]

The concept of the Death Lord is pretty nice, by putting it into your decks your matchup against rush improves, but against late-game control it could be devastating especially against efficient removal like Kodo. The card isn't released yet and it might actually end up on the slightly 'too good' side with the current format but god damn I just want to play my Druid (RIP battlecries).

[Aya Reiko]

Finished Heroic Plague Wing, bring on the Military Quarter!

[Raikaria]

Playing around with Mage decklists. Having some success currently in Casual with a Mage deck based around drawing/milling HEAVILY to get damage cards while at the same time putting down pressure.

Things like a lot of cheap spells and Apprentice/Wyrm to survive the earlygame; while also gaining cards with Intellect; Loor Hoarder and Novice Engineer.

However; to increase the drawing power of the deck and also to preserve important creatures like my Azure Drakes; I'm running Duplicate. Oh; you just spent removal to kill my Drake? Well now I have 2 more in my hand. Thanks for the extra cards.

Against a Druid just now because I had so many cards in my hand and he triggered Duplicate on the Drake; my turn went Azure Drake - Apprentice - Double Arcane Missiles  - Mirror Image

Also the sheer amount of draw in the deck makes it rather easy for me to pull a Kirin'Tor mage for free Duplicates. I'm also running Mirror Entity so if my enemy summons something big I can potentially get three of them.

Also Loatheb is hilarious when you can use him 3 times.

I might actually consider dropping Rag from the deck [But Duplicated Rag is so fun] for a 2nd Twilight Drake; because this deck draws [Or creates cards] so heavily Twilight Drakes come out big. I mean I'm even running Novices for extra mill. I'd even consider running Mountain Giants but I don't have any.

Basically: Mage has answers; but they need the right answer at the right time. This deck accelerates Mage getting answers while also putting threats out.

[Aya Reiko]

I've been kicking around a Druid deck idea with Ancient watchers. Gargoyles, Arguses, MotWs, and KotGs.  I lack any Arguses right now (they're 2 of the last 17 rares I don't have).  Prolly include Innervates for early nightmares.

I'd make a mage deck if I had ice blocks and didn't want to have fun

[Raikaria]

I'd make a mage deck if I had ice blocks and didn't want to have fun

But I don't use Ice Blocks.

When I make a deck I do what I want; I don't netdeck [Aside from the fact that I lack the Legends/Epics to do it and refuse to play the brain-rotting Zoo]

Also I've been thinking about something.

Zombie Chow. It's a powerful 2/3 for 1. It's deathrattle is decent but honestly if it does T2 tradeing for a 3/2 it's negiligable.

Preist has this little card called Alchenai Soulpreist which turns effects fom his cards that heal into damage.

So Zombie Chow's deathrattle becomes 'Deal 5 damage to the enemy hero'.

And then you have fun stuff like Dark Cultist and existing things like Mind Blast and Holy Fire and an aggressive Preist suddenly seems a lot stronger than before.

[Aya Reiko]

... I can work with that.

What card are any of you?

Zombie Chow. It's a powerful 2/3 for 1. It's deathrattle is decent but honestly if it does T2 tradeing for a 3/2 it's negiligable.

It's not negligible at all. The Zombie Chow can give you the tempo swing against the coin if they play a 3/2 (else they'll take some damage and you still get the tempo).
Consider the normal play:
You go first. No coin, just a 2,3,4 curve.
The opponent coins out a 2 and then you play a two. Opponent has tempo probably for the next few turns.

If you play Zombie Chow. They coin out a 3/2 like Knife Juggler. You trade for it, heal them for nothing, and then get to play your own 2 drop.  It's a really good card (for mid-range and aggro at least). The only downside to it is that it would be the most soul-crushing thing to topdeck.

[Raikaria]

No I mean the deathrattle is negligable if the zombie trades out before a lot of damage is done because they're still 30 HP.

Reincarnate is out in this wing. Miracle Shaman Gogogogo [Shaman has some cheap/0 cost spells too. Totemic Might for mill anyone :V. But seriously the only thing stopping a Reincarnate shaman being worse than Miracle Rouge is Shamans inherently lack good card-draw.]

===

Baron Rivendare is not easy... but interesting. I beat him with my newest deck; 'Rockydin' which is basically Paladin that heals a ton. Although I never drew the exact thing I needed to win so had to do it the hard way; my healing carried me.

I imagine a certain Warlock card which is never used is key to defeating him on Heroic.

Also why is the 2nd boss always the easiest?

[Bio]

Oh the wording was strange.
Baron Rivendare is beaten quite handedly with Priest cheap not-4 attack removal, Kodo and cheap direct damage spells. It's like the fight was built just for Anduin.

Somehow I forgot about Shadow Word:Pain. Although idk what the horsemen are like on Heroic.

I was expecting his allies to be stupidly high HP on Heroic and maybe be untargetable by spells; making Twisting Nether or Equality+Conscecrate the way to go.

Also speaking of Warlock cards; Warlock class challenge; Voidcaller called out Jaraxxus.

The Horsemen never stood a chance; especially as he decided to use his removal on the 6/6 I played after it.

[Suikama]

Heroic Razuvious you piece of shit stop top decking your fucking 20 damage blade when i have lethal


Okay finally found the secret to all of these bosses: Lightwell

Most of the time they will just ignore it and attack your face, letting them heal you for tons every turn until you can get a decent hand and mana to start wrecking

Baron Rivendale is pretty easy once you kill the Horsemen and Ooze the weapons. He has 0 other minions in his deck so all he can do from there is cast spells and eventually he'll run out.

Razurious you have lightwell + tons of taunts. Early game steal the students and buff them with inner fire +divine spirit and wreck his face until he uses his stupid weapon to kill them.

Gothik is annoying but again use lightwell + removal to get ghosts and then taunt them up. If you can stall long enough then he will eventually just kill himself with his hero power.

[Raikaria]

I can't actually see what you are playing Suikama; your image stops at the ropeline.

Is the weapon 5/2 with quad hero damage or 10/2?

Either way; I guess Ramp Druid is the answer. Those fat taunts.

Or just heavy taunt in general.

Also no Death Lord. Another week of Zoo being almost unstoppable and everywhere.

[Suikama]

The weapon is 10/2 and deals 20 damage to face which is stupid

You can try to rng him and thought steal his weapon and kill him asap but he usually pulls out his own and kills you first

[Raikaria]

BY THE LIGHT! *Hits for 10*

And wow he oneshots an Ancient of War. Forget Ramp Druid; just play tauntspam or something. He can only swing once after all. [Shaman? Them Spirit Wolves and Totems with a Sunfury/Argus and Earth Elly and so on]

===

Edit: Apparently Kel'Thazard shts down a few select cards against the Heroic Four Horsemen.

Equality dosen't work
Doomsayer dosen't work

But apparently Mass Dispel works fine

[Raikaria]

I already knew that was possible.

Welcome to Miracle Shaman. I hope you liked triple Leeroy. Cause we got even more chicken.

I'd be playing it... if I had Leeroy.

Please, Miracle Shaman already existed before Reincarnate was revealed. Reincarnate just makes it more hilarious

[Conqueror]

Playing against a deathlord is fun, except when it wastes a battlecry.

[Raikaria]

I am going through slowly and upgradeing my decks with the new naxx cards.

The first was my deathrattle-based Druid; which causes a near-endless swarm of minions and Treants when it goes right building up the board for PotW/Roar. Rivendare and Sludge Belcher fit right in.

===

Just beat a Shaman the the best way with my Preist.

He's on 7HP.

My hand is Holy Fire and Shadow Madness

He has a taunt totem.

He plays AL'AKIR.

I laugh as I Shadow Madness the Windlord for the win.

[Suikama]

so i guess this is the shaman miracle
