# To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone
I would NOT recommend this deck. It is very very hard to play but that makes it fun. I did very well with it, my winrate was stupidly high but you have to know the match ups and plan accordingly and you have to improvise a lot because there is lots of randomness to account for. Specially in this meta, it is very unforgiving to play this deck.
I'm playing 2x Khartut defender, that's the first alarm sign that this deck is not for everyone. I realized keeping stats that playing this card on 6 is very important so I really wanted to have it by then, If I don't get it I will have a difficult time stabilizing but there is a risk inovlolvd that it bricks your reno and zehprys. Reno isn't that big deal most of the time but Zephrys can be, you might need him early specially against rogue and rogue sap defender every time so you are very weak to rogue. The right play often against rogue is not to play defender on 6 and wait until sap is not good or you can bait it somehow. It's very difficult. Worst match up though was aggro paladin for me, I don't know why I lost so much to those. Not a big enough sample size, I lost to almost all of them except one. Face warrior is also bad if they have 2x frothing opening, you don't have much to answer it.
I suggest some shaman hard counter like control warrior for rank 1-3 and not this. I played it anyway because I am farming wins for 1000 win mage portrait lol.
Overall you need to know how you win every match up and play very very differently, arcane keysmith for example is a very crucial card against otk paladin, you should not play it early. Or against ques priest (I have 100 percent winrate) it's very tricky to maneuver. If I want to explain all the detail, I have to type 3 pages and a lot of it just comes to you on a match by match basis. Say, if you can discount alex and archmage, it's auto win against priest, you just stall and win, they can't do anything but if you can't then you have to think of another way to lock them out and there are ways but depends on what you are drawing. Against quest shaman you don't want to take face damage early, they just burn you down and you can't wait. You have to be aggressive. etc
Damn, thought I had a good board going, adapted my murlocs to poison but went up against another board with divine shield poisoned murlocs =/
I hate anybody that chooses the same tribe i do. Where do they get off? Selfish sons of bitches.
I wish there was an easier way to be offered three heroes instead of 'get loads of packs' because I have never been offered the bartender, Elise, or Finley so far. I almost always get offered AFK and Sindragosa on the other hand.
Its essentially a form of pay to win and its quite frankly disgusting.
20 packs for gold is not 'loads of packs'
Lol
I don't put any money in to the game - and currently the only way to get said bonuses is to buy packs from the store. Unless I've missed it there isn't a way to do this with gold currently. It sucks.
You are paying and getting an advantage. What else would you call it?
You can't even buy packs with gold right now. The only people that have had access to 3 heroes and will have access to 3 heroes until the expansion hits is people that have spent real money.
It's a definitive competitive advantage that can only be purchased for real money right now. I don't see how their can be an argument otherwise.

They've only given away three so far, though right?
Yeah but once the set actually comes out it should be pretty easy to get all the packs needed. I think it is a minor annoyance and maybe one they change in the future. The mode really has no collection to build up or other time investment requirements. So I can deal with the minor annoyance. Would be nice if they let us buy packs with gold now though, even if we cannot open them.
Something I'm curious about is how they end up monetizing this mode. It's already taken away a lot of interest in the base game and if it continues to grow in popularity I'm sure they will need to make money off of it since people will be buying less packs, presumably.
Yeah, at first I thought for sure it said if you are holding a Dragon and then I read it again and was like, nope, just a straight-up unconditional heal.
Comparing to heal bot, it's better stats, better tribe, targetable.
Seems good if a slower paladin exists. But not enough to enable it or anything.

Thats a weird excuse when the other auto battlers are free and great too, yet somehow dont have this kind of shenanigans in them.
Tiny cost of entry may technically be pay to win, but it's not a terrible form of it. No problem with it after this awkward period where literally only people who put money in have access to 3 choices.
This thread is full of top-tier players, lol. My friends and I all tumbled to like, 3200 out the gates with several losses, and we're all fighting our way back up to 4k. Proud to be at 3800 already once BGs really clicked for me a few days ago.
Also, this is my new favourite card art in the game:

Or people who don't want to play the regular mode, but gotta spend money/gold on the regular mode to have an equal playing field in Battlegrounds.
I went on a massive losing streak after placement, but climbed back up to ~4300 after trying out all the heroes and learning the ropes. I play exclusively on my Kindle, and I've had more than what I regard as my fair share of crashes and disconnects, so I'd probably be a few hundred points higher if not for that. I make top four about 2 out of 3 times that I get to play.
Usually one of these:
Brann Bronzebeard
A. F. Kay
The Rat King
Bartendotron
Queen Wagtoggle
George the Fallen
The wording isn't super clear but I am assuming you would have to take no damage during your opponent's turn and then it would activate at the start of your next turn.
Shirvallah counter.Grim Patron counter!
Also, really cool effect, can make for a nice counter of decks that like to have multiple copies of late game stuff
It does seem pretty nuts, but I guess the rub is that you pay 2 mana to do nothing on your turn, and then the minion will still not be ready until the turn after it is summoned.
Welp, here's my vote for card effect most likely to break the game
And by that I mean make it unplayable on mobile, introduce new bugs to arena and other modes, and cause other crazy unforseen effects through the spaghetti code.
