Seriously why does this guy destroy the cards one by one very slowly instead of just blowing them up all at once like [[Myra's unstable element]] or [[Hemet Jungle Hunter]] ?

Standard Is this the best pull off Al'akir or what?

At 10 mana you can expect it to do 23-34 damage minimum from the other 4 cards alone. Actually had one game where triggered double Battlecry with Zee and got 2 copies with an Agamaggan. Be absolutely horrifying if things lined up to trigger it with this meaning that jumps up to minimum of 46-68 damage.

Discussion I got to Legend with this homebrew Therazane/C'thun/Herald Shaman deck!

Post image
60 Upvotes

Climbed to Legend from D5 with this homebrew Shaman deck. It's a mix of heralding and elemental support, which work pretty well together. On top of that you have part of the C'thun package, but as you can see it's only 3 cards.

[[Watch Over]] as the only shadow spell and C'thun activator and C'thun himself. Two Watch Over's juice up C'thun on their own but it's particularily powerful with [[Therazane]] active. Therazane herself is a slow turn but it allows Watch Over to be a massive swing turn or, if you're ahead on board, finish the game with it. As the only shadow spell you're also almost always (bar random generation) going to hit it after Therazane. C'thun acts as a lategame finisher, but I've honestly barely needed him. Although there have been atrition war games where I needed all of Deathwing/C'thun/Al'Akir value to win.

The other powerful combination is [[Fire Breath]] with Therazane and/or [[Volcanic Thrasher]]. Having a 3 mana 12 dmg burn in hand that also buffs your elementals by +2/+2 can be game winning.

The new [[Elemental of Madness]] is a super flexible card that synergises with the Herald minions as it gains their attack buff before discovering a spell. It also allows you to grab some spell schools you typically don't have access to, to double up with Therazane or activate [[Scorchfist Scholar]]. Or simply gamble for an answer you need atm.

Is this deck broken? Absolutely not, and there's most likely refinements to be made to this list. Unfortunately I didn't keep a record but I managed to maintain a positive winrate in my climb and while I lost a few matches, it was a steady climb to legend. My MMR isn't the highest either so take all this with a grain of salt, but if you're looking for a fun Shaman deck that isn't Mug'Zee and is running a greedy card like Therazane, give it a try!

Discussion Shoutouts to Holy Eggbearer, for some reason it has always come to be in meta decks since they have been making very strong 0-Attack cards (outside of Khelos) if they continue would not mind it as a permanent coreset addition.

Discussion Do you think with monk they'll make more deck slots?

22 Upvotes

I know 27s a lot but i am personally at a moment where id like just..three more. I have used up all the slots and have a few more ideas

I dont realllly care about monk in general (my opinion is: another class? Whatever)

But if they're adding another class are they also increasing the amount of decks i can make?

Why is the limit even 27, seems like an odd number.

Discussion Zoo Warlock consistently able to fill the board with 8/8+ on turn 5. Still no patch?

9 Upvotes

I really don't need to elaborate on this. Just go listen to all high-end player's thoughts on this deck.

Brian Kibler, Zeddy, Theo-- no one agrees that this desk is fine. And it's not just in need of one or two nerfs -- it's in need of 4-5 heavy nerfs.

Since Blizzard has so little communication on the matter, I'm posting this as yet another instance to increase awareness, even though it's already been done to death.

This is truly the least fun expansion release I've played in the past 14 years. It makes me long for the days of Crystal Cove Rogue.

Tavern Brawl Tavern Brawl this week is... "Rise of the Zombeasts" (Oct. 28, 2026)

17 Upvotes

**Description:** "It's a monstrous mirror match! Take control of a deck teeming with random Zombeasts and spells while using a discounted hero power to craft your undead army!"

[**Chalkboard**](https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Rise_of_the_Zombeasts#/media/File:Rise_of_the_Zombeasts.png)

**Format:** Randomized / everyone plays as Hunter, specifically Deathstalker Rexxar. Both players start with 20 Health instead of 30, and both get Rexxar's Build-a-Beast Hero Power discounted down to 0 mana.

The way Build-a-Beast works is, first you Discover a Beast "with card text" such as a Battlecry, a Deathrattle, a start-of-turn effect or an end-of-turn one. Then you Discover a Beast with only keyword text, or sometimes no text at all. Then you combine them into one Zombeast with the combined Attack, Health, mana cost, and text of both Beasts.

Finally, each player starts with 3 mana, so you can start playing (small) Zombeasts right away.

**Reward:** one RBE pack for your first win

**History:** This is the **ninth** time we've seen this format. And it's also the eighth year in a row this format showed up for "Hallows End", making it something of an annual tradition.

The [Wiki.gg page about this format](https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/Rise_of_the_Zombeasts) suggests going aggro if possible -- maybe you can race down your opponent from 20 Health. (Although if OtherGuy can keep making Lifesteal minions... maybe not, haha)

Also it's smart to use your HP before playing cards every turn. The random Zombeasts that you draw aren't likely to be better than ones you craft yourself -- with the ones from your HP, you have more control over their mana costs.

Good luck and have fun!

Discussion Did Blizzard forget to give Mage dragons?

• Upvotes
Azure Queen Sindragosa

With Across the Timeways rotating in a few months I wonder why Mage has not gotten new Dragons to support Sindragosa.

While on release it saw some play by copying it with Buy One, Get One Freeze to stack the reduction, after Buy One rotated Sindragosa became unplayable.
It appears that they wanted to make her a midrange deck which summons lots of dragons pressuring the oponent into removing all the smaller dragons so that they can not combo with her or Malygos for tempo and then finishing by reviving all of them with the Oathstone.

However Mage has a total of 4 (5 with Malygos) dragons in Standard right now with 2 of them coming from the same set as her. And while Mage has gotten a lot of new Arcane spells, due to the lack of dragons they do not synergize with Sindragosa. I find it weird that for example one of the Leyline minions is not a dragon since all of them are Arcane spells. What was the idea Blizzard had in mind with Sindragosa?
