not yet. maybe if secret hunter gets more powerful when other wings release
Heroic LoE is the best.
Oh man Kripp might be on to something with Ivory Knight in Anyfin Paladin. If you get a third Anyfin that's a 10 heal and basically another OTK that can kill even Control Warriors.
He's playing the same deck I've been playing since last week. (and talking up here btw) I originally went with Yogg as a substitute for lightlord in the standard variations of N'zoth Anyfin Paladin that some streamers were playing. The Ivory Knight was the missing piece in the puzzle.
His is only different by 1 card (Ragnaros Ligthlord). I was laughing my ass off watching him make it while realizing it was the same deck.
I love it by the way.
heh Kripp didn't invent that, 2 Ivories were slammed to Anyfin pally the moment the adventure hit.
The funny thing is there are tons of experiments with control paladins going on right now. I really think Control Paladin may end up as a solid Tier 2 deck before all is said and done.

Fuck murlc paladin disgrace of a deck. Using murlocs not called Murloc Knight to win, smh.
Depends. There are cheap decks to play if you want to rank high, but it could get boring.

You can get pretty far with very few cards, you only have to have enough skill and time to do it. In my personal opinion, biggest "walls" in ranked are at 20, 15 and 5.
What new cards really help with is opening up new decks and play styles for you. It's relatively easy to make one cheap & effective deck, but many decks and class archetypes require expensive cards. They are not always better at climbing the ranked, but they offer vastly different experiences.
Some decks are better than others but the biggest drawback of having few cards is the fact that it "locks" you into the few ultra-efficient decks that you have to play if you want to rank.
I found it quite easy to get to 20, but I really struggled to get past 19, I am now at the wall again trying to get to 15, it's really rough going, might be another year for I hit it, if at all!!!
I have got a fairly decent deck, I am just not a very good player, that combined with the RNG means the game can really kick my arse at times.
But I still enjoy playing it.
'Exodar' continues to be my favorite since launch, back in Sept
Also I'm glad wing 2 coming out later this week includes Priest's card Onyx Bishop. Really looking forward to crafting up decks around this card. Should be interesting... have high hopes for this one.

I'm going to pretend that purify does not exist -_-
Yeah, I keep running out of cards in tempo rogue. Enjoy the deck though. What other fun decks do you play?
I have 8/9 classes golden now, only Paladin left. Shame all Paladin decks are boring as all hell.
I've tried N'Zoth, Anyfin, Bubble-zoo, Secret, and they all bore me. I need the new Dragon-synergy card to be released so I can try Dragon Pally only to reject it as well.
I want something like Renounce-lock, or a Thief Rogue. Pally is so vanilla.

I've been running this deck since the first wing came out. Almost impossible to lose if you find a third copy of Anyfin.
TeSPA cannot be acquired through competition. You get it through association with Texas Esports Association or by purchasing it on Ebay (~$200).

Might have to try a variation of this deck. I crafted a Lightlord a few weeks ago and so far it has felt like a waste of dust in the recent Meta.
It is as consistent as it is bland. Most interesting Paladin deck I've tried so far, but like CoolOff I find that the class is a bit underwhelming.
Once upon a time there was an OTK pally. Leeroy+faceless + a combination of might,abusive Sgt,seal with a emperor discount. Could sub those for the murloc cards in anyfin deck. Not as consistent as anyfin (requires so many cards in hand) but I can guarantee no one will see it coming lol.
I'm a combo guy myself (even though blizz tries to kill us) so I'll play any maly deck (rogue,druid,shammy) and OTK priest and warrior decks. I also like doing unexpected cthun decks like rogue, shammy, mage. Like I said though don't expect to get above rank 5.
I built this for some fun and variation:
Not seen: Yogg and one Arcane Anomaly for some early game. I'm 3-0 at rank 15, and it's actually fun to play.

Yah. Moroes destroyed my streak.
Don't play well enough or simply enough to get to rank 5. Curvestone decks bore me to play or play against. Ive gotten to rank 10 before but id say my biggest achievement is getting to rank 15 with only patron otk warrior. Still enjoying Timmy shenanigans with variations on Concede Shaman like copying opponents Ragnaros, hexing theirs then playing two ancestral spirit on it. Will probably try Blood Warrior deck when Arcane Giant comes out.
I think it needs to be comboed with a buff to really make it worth running. 2 attack just doesn't do enough. But turning it into 3 or 4 attack minion that gains health every time you cast a spell could be powerful. If Velen's Chosen was still in Standard, it would have worked really well with that.
If vc were around it'll make a lot of things in priest work. Still shaking my head in how they though tentacles was a good replacement for it at 5
The giant cost 12 right? I'm not sure how usable it is in tempo mage but people will try for sure. you have to play 6 spells for it to be worth it and you might even hit it on curve.
I don't know about it in rogue, the problem with rogue deck building is that you have so many fixed slots you can't afford to change. It's not as flexible as tempo mage builds are. There are miracle lists right now with questing adventurer actually, maybe swap those for arcane giant and test out, I'm not sure if it's better honestly.
Other idea I've heard, is the OTK warrior like the old molten warrior. You just play control warrior essentially but with these giants and faceless charge. The grindy version seems really hard to pull off, is it even good? just otk instead.
It should be good in druid too but seemingly everything is good in druid!

And Ivory Knight might be the light horse. 😏
I said it when it was first shown, but yes, I'll try the giant in my Spell Druid. It has Moonfires and Raven Idols, Innervates, etc. so the potential is there.
I'm still cautious of course. I remember thinking Frost Giant could see some play too way back then, but there's still much more to it than how cheaply you can put the minion out. Most Spell Druids work on a token system with maybe a Savage Roar finisher turn. Others try to rush a Maly + Faceless OTK turn. Mine is more about board control to about half HP, then using spells + whatever board to finish. An 8/8 needs to do more than being cheap to be useful against the current meta. Zoo gets away with it because they can flood the board every turn, but spells are a more expensive commodity, so to speak.

The beauty of Arcane Giant is that, while we can all assume Blizzard heavily play tests their cards, no one will have any faith in blizzards ability to balance or nerf cards correctly due to the purify debacle. I'm not convinced AG is the be all end all, but I it is good it will become a 20 mama card pretty quickly
Never call a Knight "Horse", chess players will hate you.
True.
I kinda wonder if it could work in some Paladin decks that run the buff cards. I haven't nor have I seen anyone else trying that just yet.
Most likely it's garbage but who knows. Sometimes ya gotta try stuff just to see.
Then why is the piece shaped like an animal instead of a humanoid?
Trojan. Sneaks (discover) another card to the table without anyone noticing.

Not even when making jokes.
Nobody is allowed to mention the fact that a knight is shaped like a horse. EVER!
Bing bing, bong bong bong, bing bing.
