Lair of the Electro-Drake!
With Hearthstone’s Year of the Mammoth about to rotate out, the Year of the Raven coming to an end, and the Year of the Dragon about to begin, it’s time for me to start doing some housecleaning. A few of my favorite Standard mode decks will no longer work in Standard play, and I’ve not played them despite sentimental attachment and, hey, that’s what this tumblr blog is for! This first one is called “Lair of the Electro-Drake”. That’s not the name the deck will give you; Lair of the Electro-Drake is too long. But trust me: that’s its name. I should know, I made it. I had a couple of goals with this deck, namely... 1) Make use of Paladin/Dragon synergy! 2) Make use of Paladin/Mech synergy! 3) USE EVERY TREASURE CHEST CARD IN THE GAME! Seriously, I’ve got the Gurubashi loot chest, I’ve got the Toothy Chest, I’ve got Marin the Fox ho generates a Master Chest for his opponent... if you want a Treasure Chest on a Hearthstone card, this deck has it. The “story” of this deck is, simply, that my opponent has wandered into the Lair of the Electro-Drake. It is a lair filled with treasure, and also dragons, and also treasure chests, and also mechs, and a few dinosaurs, and a dino-mech at one point. Anyway: here’s the deck! ### Electro-Drake Treasures # Class: Paladin # Format: Standard # Year of the Raven # # 2x (1) Glow-Tron # 1x (2) Cathedral Gargoyle # 1x (2) Firetree Witchdoctor # 2x (3) Toothy Chest # 2x (4) Annoy-o-Module # 2x (4) Arena Treasure Chest # 2x (4) Blessing of Kings # 1x (4) Dragonling Mechanic # 2x (4) Hoarding Dragon # 2x (4) Scaleworm # 2x (5) Dragonmaw Scorcher # 2x (5) Mechano-Egg # 2x (6) Mechanical Whelp # 2x (6) Spikeridged Steed # 1x (7) Kangor's Endless Army # 1x (8) Marin the Fox # 1x (8) Silver Sword # 1x (9) Onyxia # 1x (9) Ysera # AAECAYsWCOsCiwSiCaTnAuHwArjyAvH+AuiJAwuvB4jHAuHTAvPTAonxArT2Atb+AuH+ApGAA+uJA+yJAwA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone Kangor’s Endless Army in particular really helps sell the “terror” of the cave. That Mechanical Whelp or Mechano-Egg has two Annoy-O-Modules and a Glow-Tron combined with it? Better kill it oh wait no its back! Ultimately, this deck isn’t what you’d call “competitive” in the strictest sense, but it *did* win against a number of otherwise competitive decks on the ladder.
