Hearthpwn

Update 5th April: The Year of the Kraken ends today, so i did some games in my lunchbreak and went fromt rank 14 to rank 9 in about 2 hours. i will try to make a new list for the Year of the Mammoth when i get my hands on the new expansion cards ;-) stay tuned!

Hello Hearthpwn Community, my name is Yens, iam a normal Hearthstone players that hit legend the first time in march 2017 and i would like to introduce you to the deck i did legend within about 150 games started at rank 10.

Everything started with a Quest - play 30 murlocs...

no, iam not joking, i really had that quest, and i built a deck with only murlocs to reach the 30 cards easy... After 3 games and 2 wins i was thinking about a murloc deck to play in ranked games and made some research on hearthpwn for competitive lists. i found some usefull lists but most of them had stuff in there which i dont wanted to play, so i decided to keep some of that cards (e.g. Doomsayer)  while others i replaced just with more murlocs or a Flametongue Totem.

i tried that list in ranked just because i was absolutly rid of piratewarriors, jade druids, jade shamans, renolocks and dragonpriest... honestly, its just boring to play these decks - mostly because everyone is playing them.

in February i reached rank 3 by just playing this murloc deck and this month i wanted to make rank 5 to get the extra dust, what happened after reaching rank 5 is protocolled in my updates (scroll down)

So enough said about me and my attitude, just talk about the deck itself so that you can play it or use it to create a new Ungoro deck soon.

This deck is played like a pirate warrior deck, try to flood the board and keep board presence as long as possible. every murloc will either strengthen your murlocs on the board, or make you come closer to the final blow with Everyfin is awesome.

Always try to hit face and let the enemy do the trades, but make sure that you dont run into AOE with letting him keep a board alife, you wont come back if you dont have "call in the finishers" or "finja".

VS Shaman: Try to keep some murlocs in hand so that you can directly flood the board again when he uses AOE. Dont burn your fuel fast, try to make some early trades because if he puts up some Taunts like wolfes you will die fast. (this is the hardest matchup)

VS Druid: Flood the board like a tsunami, he has 2 AOE in his Deck and if he uses his spells to clean your board he cant make board presence for his own, he either has to decide "do i take does his threats or establish my own threats" if possible, make sure to buff your murlocs fast with some life so that they overlast a swipe in round 4. keep good curve cards.

VS Priest: Again - flood it, he either kills your murlocs with shadow words or establishes an own board, but the difference is that he is much slower with establishing board presence then you, so its a easy GG when you have everyfin is awesome in hand and some murlocs on the ground. keep cards with good curve.

VS Pirate Warrior: Board presence is a must in nearly every matchup so it is against a pirate warrior, normally you dont mulligan for portal, but his 2x1 drops + 1 weapon round 1 can literally kill your whole strategy, so keep portal! if you have no portal in mulligan but doomsayer, keep him to, he works the same with the difference that your enemy will not play a round 2 or round 3 minion.

VS Renlock: ohhh i luv those matchups, just make sure you get a good curve and you can play every round till round 4, if you got an everyfin is awesome until there you have won the game if he has no hellfire, or you will have to fill the board fast till round 6 so that you need to give him so much pressure he has to use reno, if he has him in hand. make sure to trade at round 5 so that he cannot use The "kill minions do Aoe"-spell (dont know how its called)

VS Mage: same as for Renolock with the difference that you should not play 1 life minions in round 1 when you start with coin or round 2 when not, because he will definitly ping them with his heropower.

For ALL Mulligans its the same: Keep everyfin is awesome once, try to get tidecaller and the rest is up to you, i love starting with tidecaller followed by coin and warleader or the 2/1 and 1/1 taunt. so that your tidecaller will last longer on the field. only difference is VS Piratewarrior try to get portal instead of other murlocs. only tidecaller and everyfin is a keeper.

Thats it, maybe its not helping players in this season or year any longer but maybe you can start your own murlocalypse in the new expansion based upon this deck.

In the next expansion i will make this list viable again without everyfin is awesome, trust me ;)

MRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGLLL

 

Update 7: i cant imagine that! i fucking did Legend in 4 days. That murloc deck is absolutly viable ;) never hit Legend before. EZ PZ!

Update 6: Hit Rank 1 today. maybe i can get to legend :-D ill give it a shot.

Update 5: i did some more games this weekend but only climbed up to 5 stars rank 3 so far. maybe today ill try to reach rank 2 again and who knows, maybe their is a good winning streak to reach rank 1 ;-) 

Update 4: i had an impressive winstreak of 10 games and finally reached rank 2 with 2 stars. but to be honest i dropped off of it with 8 lose streak xD so iam 34/22 w/l now and fall back to rank 3 with 2 stars. i end for today. the winrate from 56 games is at: 60,71 %

Update 3: okay ;-) i hit rank 3. 24 wins 12 loses so far. gone from 10 to 3 in just under 24 hours. maybe ill try to get legend this month, its 7 days left...

Update 2: After hitting Rank 5 yesterday morning, i did some more games in the evening while watching TV, i reached Rank 4 with 12 Wins and 6 Loses. (aprox. 2 hours) Todays morning i did 2 more games and got 2 wins. Maybe i try to reach rank 3 or 2 today since i can see a pattern in the games. (its 14w/6l, so the winrate is actually at 70%, but thats just for a small batch of games, ill give further information after i did 20 games more to check if the 70% consist)

 

Update: I hit rank 5 today after 2-3 hours play. i startet at rank 10. just wanted to make a fast rank 5 for the extra dust. i dont think that i got the attitude to hit legend this month, next month youll get some more shots with the new cards coming ;-)
