title, are there ? as far as combo goes it feels like there is way too much disruption, way too many fast decks but I am curious if there are any at least slightly competative horsemen decks ?
I tried a little in otherside shaman but that deck is such a meme due to consistency and even getting to turn 10 is a slog in this meta unless you are against slow greed priest which probably plays the horsemen before you !
Like you say, there’s too much disruption or too much tempo, depending on your opponent. Control Priest and Blood DK can steal/delete the horsemen, and Undead Priest, Unholy DK, and DH beat you long before you get the horsemen online.
Some people are even putting Steamcleaner into ETC because of Spell DH, and that hits Horsemen too.
Well i think he can be good in priest and druid control priest is by far the best control deck in the game.
Likewise; where do you much see Steamcleaner in decks these days.
You can try to put in Lorekeeper Polkeit. So you can get those by drawing after.
Just odd tech choices, I run it in some homebrew lists, I’ve had it played against me above Diamond 5, and some content creators run it.
Ah I see; when facing an opponent deck comprised of that headless horseman deck. I suppose Steamcleaner is way to go.
I believe there was one card that you can summon 1/1 version of horseman in your hand and immediately die after ending your turn…
Zerek Cloning Gallery 9 cost Priest.
Flark Boom Flaska 7 cost Hunter.
There we go Shaman 10 cost From De Other Side
Summon a copy of each minion in your hand. They attack random enemies, then die.
“da other side” shaman summons all the minions from your hand to attack other enemy minions then they die but it’s 10 mana and awkwards to “cheat out” often end up having to use that spell purely to survive due to the healing minions it can pull
Also thanks for that.
Me scrolling in my deck collection.
No mention of dancing paladin? No big warlock?
Big Shaman is a deck that utilizes horseman a ton, and its pretty decent. Only problem Im having is that it is hard countered by Zok Druid to the point that Im running Ozumat in the deck and its messing everything up.
Dancing Paladin is probably the easiest way to pull it off but with the best and most popular decks currently being aggro, it’s very difficult to pull off.
I beg to differ. Dancing paladin does great against aggro.
If that was true everyone would be playing it because it beats control and other combo decks easily.
The list has enough of a following to register on HSR, what more do you want?
The dancing Paladin deck on Hsreplay wins through a combination of minions. The OP is asking for a Baron deck that concentrates on the Baron winning the game. That deck does exist but it’s quite slow and requires some luck in getting the Baron out on curve or close to it.
If he just wants a big Paladin deck where maybe the Baron can win the game then sure the traditional dancing deck is for him.
I believe there are only two decks that make use of the horseman and are probably t4,t3 or at most t2 (very unlikely.)
One is big demon/undead warlock. This one uses the horseman within ETC, specifically to avoid pulling him in aggro matchups. The idea is, in control MU, he can be used as a win condition. There are many variants of the deck, but most of them sit around the T3 area, so don’t expect good results. I’ve personally had the most success with the Renethal version of this deck, I was able to climb D5-D1 with it way back at the start of the month, but then it started sucking too much to play further. This is the build I had some success with: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/xl-big-warlock-90-legend-hsragf-festival-of-legends/ Your mileage will vary.
The other deck is a big paladin deck, this one I don’t know very well but the horseman seems like a redundant win condition. The real win condition of this deck seems to be to drop Thadius early, then regurgitate your hand on board. Here is a potential list: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/big-paladin-363-legend-thijs-festival-of-legends/ But I have no idea if its any good, I’ve played against this deck and lost when they got Thaddius off turn 4-5, but otherwise this deck is trash.
I play big warlock and against some decks the Horsemen are my wincondition for sure.
Even if it gets silenced there are a multitude of ways to revive it usually.
I like horseman on priest with the two cards that can give it reborn. It isn’t the win card most of the time, but it can be intimidating to the opponent if I can stick reborn on it, and then draw enough cards.
Sadly no.
I miss the DK paladin hero power OTK horseman. That was cool.
