Hearthpwn

Hey Guys,

This is the first deck i'm posting on Hearthpwn and it's for this weeks tavern brawl (choose 10 cards (x3 of each)). Not insanely experienced in deck building but I had some easy success with this deck and I have found that this list is working quite well so far. Currently 5/6 (83% win rate) with this. Disclaimer: I don't play too much tavern brawl so I can't exactly provide good and bad matchup's in this guide. 

Strategy: 

1. Mulligan for Dust Devil and/or Totem Golem for the first couple of turns. I know overload is of concern here, but if you play them on the left side of Dorothee it's some nice pressure early on into the game. Totem Golem is especially good here cause of it's 3/4 body which is annoying to deal with early.

2. Mana Tide Totem : something you should look to do as early as possible. It should always be played on the right of Dorothee (give it taunt). Card draw and a 0/3 taunt is also quite pesky to deal with. Card draw is quite essential in this deck as you will be looking for cards like Evolve, Thing from Below, and Master of Evolution coming into the middle of the game. 

3. Using Evolve : The best time to use this is obviously when/if you have a full board, if you have a Thing From Below or Master of Evolution out. Evolve is dope here cause every time you evolve your board, your charge minions get to attack again (some what of a combo you could say). 

4. Flamewreathed Faceless : I like this card because the punishment for playing it is extremely minimal. 2 overload compared to a 7/7 body is ridiculous. I find this card to be the most flexible to play in regards to this weeks brawl. Play it on 4 with charge if you have nothing on board, give it taunt if you need to stall a turn or two, and even run it with an evolve combo. Super flexible must have. 

5. Rockbiter Weapon : This is one of those cards that's nice, especially in the early game to help prevent your opponent from developing an early board whether it be charge or taunt minions. This can also be used in combo if you have 2 if not 3 in hand in the late game (filthy when used with Dust Devil). This card can be rotated out of this deck if need be. I like it personally.

6. Thing from Below : by itself is a good card with taunt and 5/5 body. Really nice playing it aggro on the left side (charge and taunt is great if you can have it reduced . Good for if you have poor draw in the early game and have to summon totems, thereby reducing the cost of the card. Also very nice to evolve. Very good card, must have in this deck. 

7. Hex : This card kind of goes without saying. Polymorph for shamans. This will destroy any tempo your opponent has gained. I typically save these if I drawn early on. Absolutely necessary for potential big minions. Must include. 

8. Lightning Storm : I feel that regardless of game subtype (ladder, arena, TB) a board clear is a must. This is perfect for if you have a spell damage totem. 3-4 damage across the board is like a mini Flamestrike for more than half the mana with only 2 overload as punishment. It has come clutch for me and I stand by it. Don't think there is a sub for this card.

Substitutions:

Some cards can be switched for others in this list:

-1 Totem Golem,  +1 Lava Shock - If you are having trouble with overload issues then this is an easy switch which eases the burden and provides more flexibility in regards to playing multiple overload cards in the same turn. 

Note: If you want to make this change, just be wary of not being able to establish an early board due to lack of minions in hand.

-1 Totem Golem,  +1 Eternal Sentinel - unlock your mana crystals and get a minion out of it with charge. It also has the same attack as Totem Golem and it has no overload which makes it either as good or better, but since I don't have it, I didn't put it in the original list. 

Thanks, and enjoy your free pack!
