So I have been getting bogged down by seeing the same mana cheat/hand buff decks over and over. And it’s not like I am going to stop playing…
Here is my break from frustration and boredom and likely causing it for the opponent who is locked into the meta decks:
stupid
Class: Priest
Format: Standard
Year of the Pegasus
2x (1) Deafen
2x (1) Psychic Conjurer
2x (2) Creation Protocol
2x (2) Dryscale Deputy
2x (2) Gold Panner
2x (2) Power Chord: Synchronize
2x (2) Saloon Brewmaster
1x (3) Benevolent Banker
2x (3) Funhouse Mirror
1x (3) Madame Lazul
2x (3) Plagiarizarrr
1x (3) Shadow Chord: Distort
1x (3) Zola the Gorgon
1x (4) Ignis, the Eternal Flame
2x (4) Puppet Theatre
1x (4) Sheriff Barrelbrim
2x (4) Speaker Stomper
1x (5) Shadow Word: Steal
1x (6) Gnomelia, S.A.F.E. Pilot
The wincon is to simply steal/copy the power spiked plays of your opponent with puppet theatre/conjurer/plagiarizarrr/lazul and double or triple them with bounces, copies and syncs.
It’s 50% win rate deck so far through 8 games, definitely thought there would only be a couple fun moments but no wins.
Win key highlights:
vs druid - playing 2 early doomkins from location into sync, then getting multiple copies of yogg, and cherry on top was distort taking out fye
vs warrior - location stole odyn, then bounced ignis 2 times until got the 10 mana windfury gain 8 armor weapon.
vs pally - bounced ignis for 1mana weapons (poison DR 1 dam to aoe), location ametis and funhouse ametis, plus barrelbrim + deafen to get through taunt and opponent ametis damage restriction.
most surprising power came from dryscale deputy leading to extra sync or protocol in hand which is what snowballed the double and triple copies.
Also it was surprisingly consistent as not HL and omitted a lot of the usual legendary cards (Zill, Yogg, Aman) at the top of the curve to make room for the extra copy/bounce/disrupt cards.
Anyway I hope everyone is taking a breath at the level breaks to have some fun with homebrews! Would love to see what other fun stuff people are playing at these points in the climb.
