That Dreadsteed deck looks legit, might try it.. What rank are you playing it at? I'm basically trying any deck that fares well vs Paladin tokens. Littles spectated me during a 1st run of a Bolster deck I started working on, won the game but it was close.

I played 2 more games after and lost both to mid-range Paladins. I drew almost all my cards both games but lacked late game. (Early version had like 12 2-drops).

To add more late game I just made some significant changes for my next run:[TGT] Bolster 2.0 - Hearthstone Decks

Only problem is I don't have Hogger. Might craft him lol.

I've been trying Beast Druid, and it is a lot of fun. But I am not having a lot of success with it yet. Seems to be a lot of nuance to how you play the deck that I'm not understanding yet. But I'll keep at it until I get bored with it.

Token Paladin is fun to play, I like overwhelm your opponent aspect of it. But I think people are targeting the wrong threats. Even at rank 8-6 they don't seem to be killing off Silver Hand Regent. I put in Knife Jugglers and drop them immediately just to eat whatever removal they have, then they go face while Regent is still on the board or even while Murloc Knight is on the board?

Once they realize the actual threat the deck might not be as effective.

maybe at rank 18 people don't know the threats but at lower ranks it's kinda obvious

The deck is effective even knowing the threats. It's warping the meta atm. Tons of Paladins at rank 3-5 where Im at. Can't really play much that fares bad against the deck since you run into it over 50% of the time.

I started at 12 and I'm down to 10 I believe, I just don't have a lot of time in the day to play, but I think I'm 9-3 with the Controlsteed deck so far. lost to a top-deck consecrate from a rush-paladin (literally he had no cards in hand, no board, I was next turn lethal, he draws Consecrate) and I lost to a face hunter and lost to a face mage (oddly enough.)

I've beaten 2 Control Warriors, 1 Handlock, 1 Freeze Mage, 3 Paladin mid-range, 2 Oil Rogue. The Handlock and Freeze mage were the biggest blowout. Oil rogue I stabilized at 2 health and blew one game out with a dreadsteed+anima golem with taunt.

I'm loving Controlsteed at the moment.

2x Sacrifical Pact (0)
2x Mortal Coil (1)
2x Power Overwhelming (1)
2x Darkbomb (2)
2x Sunfury Protector (2)
1x Sense Demons (3)
2x Hellfire (4)
1x Baron Rivendare (4)
2x Dreadsteed (4)
2x Voidcaller (4)
2x Antique Healbot (5)
2x Sludge Belcher (5)
2x Siphon Soul (6)
1x Anima Golem (6)
2x Twisting Nether (8)
1x Mal'Ganis (9)
2x Molten Giant (20)

Control/board clear early game, if you curve your turn 4 Dreadsteed into a turn 5 Rivendare it's pretty much game over. You can mortal coil your dreadsteeds, sac pac them, whatever it takes to get 3-4 on the board. Then they never die and give you board presence after Nether, can be buffed with PO, buffed by Mal'Ganis, etc.

Have you thought about trying Voidcrusher?

The only problem I see with the Dreadsteed deck is you NEED Rivendare... Requiring 1 card can be problematic. You don't really have enough early game or clears to wait 30 cards for it.

It's still a decent concept but probably needs a lot more tweaking so it isn't so reliant on Baron.

My problem with the Dreadsteed deck is I'd have to craft Mal'Ganis and like 5 epics :p

Edit: This druid deck I got in the brawl is fucking bonkers. Cenarius, Saraad, Ironbarks, Rag, OH I just drew another Cenarius, lol. And Boom for good measure. Just went 3-0 with druid in brawl for my quest, wee.

That's about the same problem old Freeze Mages had with drawing Alexstrasza. It's bound to happen with a 1-of card, but the deck has plenty of draw mechanics to dig you down to the cards you need. Sense Demons thins 2 cards, Mortal Coil thins 2 more, plus your hero power.
I've won some games without ever drawing him, it's not the only win condition, it's like a modified handlock, without the mountain giants, but not being BGH'able is nice (aside from Mal'Ganis).

I'll probably tweak it as the Meta shapes up, I find Hellfire is clunky in the 4-drop but really good vs. aggro still, and always threatens Patron.
Time will tell.

5 straight losses in a row with that totem shaman midrange deck, its absolute fucking shit against hunters, mech mages, eboladins and pretty much everything

One I linked? Hunter is a tough match - others are easy. (easy as in I think I've won all matches vs. those archetypes so far but one - hunter is like 1w-2l itself though)

I did adjust it to include 2x Healing Wave vs. the original though for my tweak however.

Weird, my Arena packs (maybe 6 so far?) have been TGT heavy - like 1-1-4. Hopefully you're just unlucky and mine was more typical.

It's supposedly completely random. So out of 99 arena runs, you should have roughly close to 33-33-33. Over small runs it'll be lopsided usually though.

All the stuff I said was just "random" no mention of equal split besides an implication of it being equal in one tweet or something. I recall it being was worded really mildly for an "absolutely equal chance" statement.

Plus was nearly a month ago - and they could've wised up - sensibly MOST people need the newest set.

I just had a pally deck in Brawl where i played 5 Tirions, a Bolvar, Majordomo. And the opponent had 4 or 5 Eadric to neuter all my Tirions, and 2 Bolvar himself.

Interesting to say the least.

Eh, I don't like going crazy on paladin secrets. They fucking suck. I like the idea of tossing a couple in for the chance of thinning your deck out with challenger, but I wouldn't run many. Saw Reckful running like 8 or 9 secrets in his last night and the chance of them clogging your hand is just too high.

How the hell is "Sideshow Spelleater" supposed to work - got on in the Brawl and it literally did nothing with its Battlecry.
