Best spells to combo Archmage Vargoth with?

Multiplayer Discussion
1

Priest resurrection is an obvious one.
I’ve used him with Dr. Boom’s scheme too.

2

Scheme only gives you the 1 armor variant.

3

maybe you could combo it in mage and make your opponant mill 4 cards.

4

Is it the result of a patch? I clearly remember doing that combo when the expansion that introduced those cards started.

5

I recall it being tested early on, and vargoth casting it twice resulted in its vanilla stats.

6

Swipe. It targets enemies only and it’s cheap enough to do reliably from hand.

Holy Ripple.

Cheap enough to occur early in the game, helps high-health low-attack minions clear minions while staying healthy, helps multi-proc some of Priest’s stuff like Northshires, and I’m fairly sure a Deathrattle that summons a minion doesn’t get to attack that turn if its initial body dies from the Vargoth proc of the spell (like Mechanical Whelp) since it happens after your turn is already over.

Imagine if a Tempo Priest still had Extra Arms at 2 mana, Vargoth would have an embarrassment of good, cheap spells to choose from.

The correct answer is Power Word Replicate. You have lots of Vargoths.

9

Time warp obviously.

I liked getting a lot of copies of Vargoth out and playing Mind Blast. Then it got HOF’d :confused:

Divine hymn can be pretty good, healing a lot of face dmg and getting you over the quest completion line.

Holy nova can be nice too, particularly with 2 Vargoths on the board after Mass Rez.

The obvious Vivid nightmare and power word replicate, and Shadow Word Death vs 2 giants.

Vargoth is what I am looking for in my mulligan as rez priest, such a good card in that deck.

12

Not the best, but you can do some funny things with the Shaman Spellstone and Everyfin in wild.

Paladin quest complete

Vargoth, summon copy of vargoth, consecration
6 damage to all enemies

No one ever sees that coming. It’s a thing of beauty. I’m a sick person like that. Heaven help them if they don’t get rid of either of them and you copy another and then cast Avenging Wrath. 32 damage is a very nasty thing.

Pretty risky to use Arms with Vargoth on board. It targets any minion, not just friendlies. I’ve had that one backfire more than once.

Maybe not the best, but gifting yourself another portal from Warlocks orignal quest card was fun. So end of turn you get four 3/2 imps each turn.

Oaken summons into vargoth which recasts oaken summons and brings out a hecklebot is pretty bonkers for a turn 3-4 play.
