deck feels super good

#

I've only lost to obvious high/lowrolls

quick gazelle Aug 9, 2024, 1:41 PM

#

itd be kinda funny if, in this set, it was control warrior disappearing that lets chargebuff breathe KEKW

#

#

#

this feeling did not get old KEKW

#

are we actually back? POGGIES

#

how much aggro is around rn?

#

when i was trying this before, cultist for aoe felt 100% necessary

lusty steppe Aug 9, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

I haven’t seen as much aggro since everyone trying dazzle decks

#

Idk what to cut for cultist too anyways

quick gazelle Aug 9, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

the spot im trying things out in is the acolyte slot

#

im also trying without eliza

#

she was cool but im not sure she's the best fit for chargebuff

proven topaz Aug 9, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

I like both

#

Not sure how to improve the list

#

The times I've died is due to an overwhelming board that I couldn't deal with anymore

lusty steppe Aug 9, 2024, 2:16 PM

#

I've liked acolyte just cause not running panners anymore

#

and usually have token undead to trade

proven topaz Aug 9, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

One weakness that I also encountered a few times is the inability to deal with anything that's behind a taunt

#

with the one exception of having reska

#

So a tool to clear a minion from hand would not be bad

lusty steppe Aug 9, 2024, 2:35 PM

#

Yeah I guess you mean like cookie

#

Could maybe run one corpiscle even

#

Have so many corpses

quick gazelle Aug 9, 2024, 3:13 PM

Nice!

#

Played so little this month, only hit legend with the chargebuff games I played earlier

#

But due to 11x I still got in at my new highest rank ever 😛

lusty steppe I haven’t seen as much aggro since everyone trying dazzle decks

How have dazzle decks looked?

lusty steppe Aug 9, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

They seem decent on stats so far

#

Buttons looks really good in dk now

quick gazelle Aug 9, 2024, 3:18 PM

Fantastic!

vestal ledge Aug 9, 2024, 3:18 PM

yeah it's quite good

feels like they were buffed with DK in mind

Hit top 50 deck still feels so good

lusty steppe Aug 9, 2024, 8:52 PM

#

okay got to top 30. deck feels the best its ever been especially in this meta

#

against concierge druid just go for big stats, against tempo druid usually its stats/reska. against DK/Shaman just tempo and try to fit in a charger to otk later

what do you keep in mull? early game+puppeteer?

quick gazelle Aug 10, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

warm lion deck feels good what do you keep in mull? early game+puppeteer?

depends!

#

early game is usually good

#

brewmaster and puppeteer are good v slow decks since theyre crucial parts of your long-term plan

#

cultist v classes that often go wide

#

though speaking of which

#

im beginning to consider cutting cultist. maybe just post-patch experimental period causing this but im not running into enough pirate or flood decks for it atm

quick gazelle Aug 10, 2024, 6:15 PM

#

giving geist a spin

#

the card always feels great

regal aurora Aug 10, 2024, 11:29 PM

#

Yeah I'm looking at the list and Acolyte of Death should feel pretty bad, doesn't it?

lusty steppe Aug 11, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

I’ve liked them so far since draw sucks

quick gazelle Aug 11, 2024, 12:16 AM

#

my general feeling is that cards like acolyte are more important when we're doing tempo handbuff compared to combo chargebuff

#

we dont need resources quite as urgently and desperately when we have the combo out

#

and acolyte can be hard to control

#

im enjoying running 1x death growl still

#

so that, brittlebone, and baron are often enough for me

warm lion Aug 11, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

so what’s the latest list?

lusty steppe Aug 11, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

It’s bad now

#

I wouldn’t play it

#

Or just play normal handbuff the meta is too fast again

vestal ledge Aug 11, 2024, 1:25 PM

#

sad, its way more fun than normal rainbow

proven topaz Aug 11, 2024, 2:11 PM

Oh no

#

We can always try threads

lusty steppe Aug 11, 2024, 2:31 PM

the old version I ran might be fine without the OTK

at least today the meta was more fast again

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

lusty steppe No Mining Casualties?

hmmm... i mean that feels wrong but ig if theres any DK deck to skip it, its this one? deck has no special need for corpses and a strong preference for minions

#

oh btw y'all

#

[[prosthetic hand]]

fickle helmBOT Aug 14, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

prosthetic hand (Other potential matches)

Prosthetic Hand (View card and tokens)

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

this is being added to BGs

#

and is apparently confirmed to be a mech/undead in its BG form

#

which means we could end up being able to run this

proven topaz Aug 14, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

there are plenty of magnetizable mechs, and plenty of mechs already being played in handbuff pally

#

wonder if theres something there

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

well, in theory... it could replace soulcage?

#

in theory the entire brewmaster/soulcage faffery is made redundant by being able to buff one of these things and just sticking it on a hero power ghoul

#

maybe you keep brewmaster

proven topaz Aug 14, 2024, 2:04 PM

#

Ah I was more thinking about it in handbuff paladin in this case

#

but if this becomes undead we definitely want it in handbuff DK too

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

oh ofc i forgot this is also a paladin minion KEKW

lusty steppe Aug 14, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

Yeah you’d run this for sure in handbuff

#

Might not even need saloon/soulcsge at all

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

i think you still run saloon tbh

#

but yeah, you can skip the soulcage

#

which means we can maybe run magatha

#

we can have spellstone as the only spell in the deck

#

are there any other cards that having prosthetic hand would make us want to run, that we currently dont?

proven topaz Aug 14, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

I would rather keep the soulcage, hero power + prosthetic + soulcage still works

#

But lets wait if we get the undead tag

#

Ohh I didnt read about magatha

#

yeah thats fair

#

altho giving away a soulcage is pretty harmless

quick gazelle Aug 14, 2024, 7:17 PM

#

nevermind

#

Sadge

#

hat confirms that the minion will NOT be getting the undead tag for standard

The reverse sweep

lusty steppe Oct 15, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

lol nice

#

i do feel like in the BSM meta, that handbuff XL might be the best DK deck

#

not sure of the optimal, all in on handbuff, or adding razzle

#

and how to handle draw

#

but at least these minions can soak up mage damage

#

I figure Frost DK can maybe kill them, but other DKs might just die or have to win with plagues and somehow survive

#

the one thing I like with razzle is that its another saloon target

#

you dont need to always bounce a charger

proven topaz Oct 15, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

3-3 now

#

I played really well, did some clever deathrattle shenanigans to optimze my chance of stealing stuff with reska

#

but got very unlucky

#

Also not sure what's better

#

This game I had quite some trouble with hand management as I had both handbuff and razzle cards in hand

lusty steppe Oct 15, 2024, 8:23 PM

Yeah I’ve had that issue with handsizen

proven topaz Oct 17, 2024, 7:44 AM

I posted the deck on twitter and stats are rolling in

#

It seems that it's not too great in most of ladder, but in top 10k it has a very low sample size 60% win rate

proven topaz Oct 17, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

Looking at the stats so far, it looks like warrior, DK and paladin are bad matchups for the deck

#

The deck could be refined a bit to accomodate those weaknesses

#

but it might be smarter to wait for the nerfs, the deck won't get hit so maybe we'll be coming out on top

Fresh DK deck out the oven🧑‍🍳!
XL Handbuff DK feels great in the current meta. It's able to burst control decks from hand and can generate enough stats on board to soak up waves of water elementals and volleys. 10 extra health protects us, and gives us time for more buffs. List:👇

lusty steppe Oct 17, 2024, 1:57 PM

Yeah idk why it’s sub 50% must be player skill issue

Handbuff DK with saloons also just really fun

after having the absolute shittest draws imaginable and having to expend unbuffed swarmguards and hounds to stay alive

#

my opponent played a ton of tokens and wave of nostalgia

which lined up perfectly into the reska/growl/yodeler combo i had OMEGALUL

you are running growl?

my old list which i just booted up had 1x growl yeah

#

always funny and this deck uses it about as good as any ever will

#

and i like that card

#

so, do you guys think that renathal is really the way to go?

#

doesnt seem like theres a ton of aggro

#

and we do have defensive/swingback tools

#

id have guessed that the lower consistency would be problematic

今月は遅めのレジェンド到達。
使っていて楽しいデッキになかなか巡り合えませんでしたが、ハンドバフデスナイトで好成績をマーク。
基本的には既存の構築ですが、新カードのシャファルを採用しています。
アイス苦リームは手札に帰ってくるので、シャファルの魔法活性を使いまわすことができます。
