Deck 8: Heavy Hitting
The 8th Deck in my overloaded library is the one I dubbed “Heavy Hitters.” It was yet another attempt to try something, anything, to make Warrior fun to play. I decided to use the Recruitment mechanic where I could (in no small part because I picked up Master Oakheart in the Mammoth Bundle. I almost used his image up there, but... well, the Guild Recruiter feels more appropriate for the measure of success I saw, plus that’s a nice dramatic, adventurous pose. Oakheart will get his picture here when he earns it, dangit!) Anyway, let’s take a look...

As you can see, there’s a lot of Kobolds and Catacombs here. I also tried to use a few basic Warrior cards that I don’t see in play very often, like Warsong Commander. Silver Vanguard was tossed in for fun, but I’m not convinced the “recruit an 8-cost minion” mechanic is truly superb, ya know? Like, it’s definitely good on paper, but I’ve yet to make it work. Anyway, this deck was a fun experiment, but it’s time to end its tragically short career by putting it into retirement here. Lemme know what you think, and good luck crafting more decks, all!
