Okay i stand corrected. A jank deck that nobody plays can beat it. Now show me how it beats the rest of the top end of the meta.
I wouldn’t call it jank. Everyone running regular plague nowadays is running that combo as it’s caught on.
Granted, there’s not a lot of dk players right now, but the dk players out there have been running forms of the reska deathgrowl combo.
My personal list is quite different and more focused on beating the rest of the meta. Beating taunt warrior is just an additional benefit.

I have two different DK decks that i have been playing recently. One is more token based than the other and do okay but drawing some key cards from deck is very important. I can see why they won’t give DK any really good Tutors though because it would really break them. Just getting Eliza on Curve is a ridiculous power spike.

I’ll give you my list. You might find it surprising.
I don’t know who else knows, but if you amalgam, reska, taelen and growl on the amalgam and taelen, your reska will die, go the deck, you’ll draw it immediately and you can do that forever until the enemy board is clear or yours.
That little combo is near impossible for anyone to deal with later. You can build the rest of the deck however you want… mining, aggro, whatever.
Personally, I run a rainbow plague deck with tidepool pupil to maximize early spell control and I also run the shaman armor spell and use deathgrowls there for hard aggro counter.
It’s working fairly well but it’s hard to pilot.

Let’s be honest, though, at most ranks your opponent just concedes when you fill your side of the board with their minions.

Yes, except for stubborn warriors and Paladins.
I don’t know what it is about those 2 classes, but players who play those classes tend to refuse to give up despite knowing they can’t win. I think they’re so used to winning and pulling out wins from no where that they just continue to go on.
I even burned a warriors unkilliax and he still played the entire game with zero way to win.
WorriedCheez can back me up here as he’s witnessed it. Those people are stubborn af.

No really, since res decks can do the same, and my post was arguing that res decks have a lot more in common with how unkilliax decks are played.
Exactly. I mentioned that in my post. One thing res decks can do on occasion is cheat out their big greedy thing early, and then the resses start, and now the aggro has to deal with a wall of big minions with their dinky low drops.
Res decks are closer to control decks as they beat aggro by having minions that VASTLY out value them (and quite a lot of removals/draw/stall), as opposed to midrange who will settle for just out valuing aggro by a little to a moderate amount. Midrange wants to balance value with speed/pressure so that they can become the aggressor against control/slower decks.
You don’t see that with unkilliax decks. When it’s against another slow deck, warrior/druid will just as likely to play the long game with the opponent, since even non-reno warriors and druids can field alternate win cons besides zilliax.
No decent player starts in the middle of the match. Everyone starts playing the match before turn one, during the mulligan. Even if you’re using hero power, drawing, healing, stalling, etc in the first few turns, that’s still you playing your game.
Not what I said. If anything I’m the one saying that just because you end up ressing a board of zillax to win the board it doesn’t mean you’re midrange.

Paladin should just auto concede when that happens and i still have no idea why you would play Pure unkilliax Warrior deck. So easy to target and beat. Should be playing Highlander IMO. The combo is still there but you have loads more options during the game to pivot to.
