73 more wins for Golden Warlock but I have more fun with Dragon Paladin atm even though it doesn't perform as well as any of the Warlock decks. Makes it hard to stay focused. Demons/Handlock/Zoo are all so good and Paladin can't get 1 decent deck. (I already have Gold Paladin portrait which makes it worse)

Hunter is my next closest to Golden from my TryHard days. I need just under 250 wins. Druid is very close behind that at just over 250 wins. So I might go for Druid next. They're a strong class that's always in the meta. I just don't find Hunter fun to play as or against.

Think it through. Zoo is extremely popular right now. Most Zoo decks run 3 spells at most since they've all netdecked the most popular ones. 2 imp-losions and 1 power overwhelming. If you play Millhouse on curve at 2 mana, odds are the Zoo won't have those yet since they mulligan for 1 and 2 drops.

Would I play him against a Mage with 6 cards in hand? No. But Zoo is popular and strong right now so Millhouse isn't unviable. With that said, I don't own him so I won't be experimenting to see if it works.

Millhouse isn't even that good vs Zoo since Zoo can easily have 4 attack power on turn 2. And he's bad vs every other match. Too many mages out there to have him in your deck, also hunter have quite a few spells too

I see a lot of people trying to make Flamewaker work as a Mage deck. I had a lot of fun playing it the day after it was released but I just didn't find it consistent. It needs a lot of cheap spells to get going so it's really easy to empty your hand and be left with nothing after you've blown your load. And any player with half a brain cell knows to prioritize and kill those Flamewakers the second they hit the board.

I see flamewaker being put into standard tempo mage rather than a full blown flamewaker deck. I think that's the best bet for it.

That's basically what I did, except I added arcane missiles too because it's so damn good against facehunter.

Interesting analysis at the end of this StrifeCro video: Control > Aggro > Midrange > Control. Versus Magic, where you want to be a little bigger or a lot smaller than your opponent. In Hearthstone, you want to be faster or a lot slower.

The deck itself is pretty cool too. Dragon Pally, but more of a tempo deck without the big dragons and no heals.

It's not just about his fans, it's about the fact that he's one of the greatest deck builders to play Hearthstone. Among other things, he was the first guy to make force+roar big, and combo druid has been a constant part of the meta ever since.

He even talked about using consecrate on the shade but opted not to

His reasoning was sound and I won't often second guess Strifecro. The dude knows the game. But from personal experience I found that if you can kill a stealth shade, you do it. You won't get many chances and it's vital to take them out if at all possible.

Yeah I run Pally alot and i love it when I have a consecrate in hand when a druid drops a Shade. It tickles me all day long if he drops two at once. I love punishing dumb druids.

Took Strifecro's deck out for a spin, only 2 games in before busted, but dominated(druid and mech mage) both easily. Could be reading to much in to it but they both played off guard and mostly didnt react well to the cards coming out. turn 2 egg turn 3 scarlet purifier especially

Anybody wanna friend me (Balzmir #1228)? Gotta spectate somebody for a pack! Hell, I should be spectating people anyway as I'm thinking about playing more seriously.
