How do you win against these infinite scaling decks

Someone please tell me!!!

The deck in question has this 4/3 deathrattle minion, they always give it reborn and then it dies and gives all their minions +2/2 for the rest of the game

Then they have a Location that gives them a 1 mana 1/1 which scales with the previous card and also summons a copy. So 1 mana for 2 3/3s. THEN said location also gives all their minions rush so they get free trades with my board

Then they have this 4 mana minion which not only dirty rats a minion from my hand, not only does their entire board trade into it, IT ALSO GIVES ALL THEIR MINIONS REBORN

I want to know how am i supposed to deal with this deck? Like legit. How do you play around this? Do you just play a deck that goes face and wins before they get those minions down? Every match against this deck its a guaranteed loss for me because no matter how much head start i get on board they ramp up their minions and just swing back. Then have really cheap reload tools with the location and entire board summon cards

Got no answer for you but it is really lame worse than facing non-interactive decks. Players love to be toxic and remove the fun from opponents.

That is a horrible deck to play against. Shaman decks have some removal tools that can work but Zerg DK is one of many scam decks in this game ATM. Your best bet is to play a fast deck but be prepared to not see as many of them when you change decks. Good luck.

It should be getting nerfed in a couple weeks. I agree it’s broken. Permanent stat buffs is a stupid concept and whatever person thought that was a good idea was not thinking. Not that any hearthstone dev does much thinking…

Kill it before it scales… or play something that has an unremovable object that when launched for 0 mana has poison, deals 1 damage to everything and also has elusive, windfury, heal, and everything else and in order to create that object you just spam a bunch of small minions that remove any minion the infinite scaling deck might produce and then once its launched just play a minion that makes the next minion cast a battlecry 3 times and then play a minion that puts 15 ‘deal 2 damage casts with drawn’ cards.

Its almost as exciting as the infinite scaling deck.

This is how you beat them (with Protoss Rogue)

Rogue and Priest have access to Deafen, which is a key card against Zerg DKs. If they Brittlebone Buccaneer into Infestor, silence that crap, they lose a lot of their power.

Additionally their other ways of triggering Infestor are Spawning Pool rush, Viper combo play, and Yelling Yodeller, if you can limit what/when they do these plays while having a board of your own, you’re in good shape.

Watch for Kerrigan 3 damage AOE though.

The only real answer is to go face faster. It’s why decks like Weapon Rogue and HP Druid do so well against DK Zerg.

Sure but running face decks all the time is boring and unimaginative.

I can out tempo them with Protoss Rogue and Zerg Handbuff Hunter, but it’s not a guarantee, sometimes you will lose. But I’ve had many a Zerg DK play poorly against me, waste Rush, Horn of Winter, not set up their Viper correctly etc, so I enjoy the challenge of controlling the board, tempo/midrange style (which is my favourite kind of deck)

I don’t like playing Weapon Rogue when it gets hard countered by something like Alien Encounters, but it works I guess.
