5-1 in top 150 EU with it, it has a solid early game while packing a punch late game too.

We have a lot of cheap cards that create multiple bodies, which works great with totem.

A strong mid-game line is dropping dreadwing on 5, it draws 2 dragons and discounts them (so often it's Whelp and Fyrakk), we play whelp on t6 and then on t7 drop Fyrakk to overwhelm early. Adding dreadwing was @hardy slate's idea, credits go to them!

Alternatively, save shudder for Fyrakk, that's also a way to end games! Shudder works great with growfin as well.

Note: The growfin 8/8 corrupts shaladrasil.

The one card I'm not really happy with is the zilliax, suggestions are welcome!

I quickly typed up this thread before bed, will refine it a bit tomorrow 😉

Enjoy!

Shudder jug is also a nutty way to end games

+9/+9 per jug, times 3

(in an ideal scenario)

[hardy slate]

incredibly based deck. 1st queue for me when I get home tn

I might try creature of madness over zeph and zilly. it's a proven card in menagerie decks

[chilly raven]

observer of mystery is usually solid in jugg decks too

[crimson tinsel]

Ok this deck is pretty mean. What are the mulligan strategies for this deck?

[loud saddle]

We like this deck

[rugged apex]

icy's idea you say? downvoted

[crimson tinsel]

Oh I didn’t see Icy’s name… now I don’t like this deck

[hardy slate]

wtf guys

not every deck I make is dungar

err, help make

[wooden widget]

played this deck from d5 to legend 1439, idk if its because people are just playing random shit but seems to be working quite well, lost maybe 2 games (terrible starting hand) so far, murloc package seems to be absurdly strong, so much draw

[nova scarab]

awesome ideas! I like observer and creature, but I also love zeph

[nova scarab]

and this is just awesome to wake up to, great job dude ❤️

[nova scarab]

i like to mull for an early game curve, if I find totem I want cards that create two little dudes. If you get a murloc hand keeping braingill is okay. I also like keeping hagatha or one whelp

especially on the play

[nova scarab]

Don't try this at home chat

my first shudder fyrakk, lets go

i think i won

i cant play the coin

letsgoooo

[crimson tinsel]

Damnnnnn son

I’m on a roll with this deck lol

Went against an imbue hunter and Zilliax did the muscle buster on em

[nova scarab]

Ended up going 7-3, one game I missplayed and the other two games I got mega unlucky

[crimson tinsel]

Would observer be a good card to add with the rise of Imbue Hunter?

[karmic panther]

finally, fun deck, thank you

[nova scarab]

Just had a few bad games in a row and I think the hagatha / 5 mana spells part is definitely the weakness of the deck when we are behind

Im gonna tinker a bit with those

[nova scarab]

yeah

trying to keep playing it at top legend

but it just cant keep up with the top decks

I think I'm gonna stop trying to work on this

[crimson tinsel]

s’all good, thank you for taking the time to build and refine the deck!

[willow otter]

Are you guys keep Zilli as mulligan?

[nova scarab]

on the play dropping zilli on 4 can be really good, especially against decks that don't have a big board early

[willow otter]

thanks for the confirmation I have though the same

[nova scarab]

Small deck update after the patch:

Blob of tar > ultraviolet breaker

cycle rogue was a horrendous mu and that deck was killed, so the deck is a little better than before
