So I just ran into a druid that had played 20 mana of spell.
He then proceeded to play 3 naga giant (no clue how he got the third, didn’t pay attention) that got duplicated by his oracle of elune.
Imo this is too much of a swing turn. dropping 32/32 of stats + oracle of elune for 3 mana after turn 7… what other class can generate such pressure / swing?
That’s what Fireworks Mage used to be able to do, it was just 8/8 Elementals.
good point Wardrum, maybe firework would be better in the current meta.
Though imo its slightly harder than droppings Nagas, because you only need 3 mana to do elune + Giants, for the elemental you needed a whopping 8 mana + setting up the turn before by dropping 3 elementals.
And the Druid also needed to spend 20 mana beforehand.
Now, Druid definitely has better armor gain amd such than Mage leading up to that point, but they still have to fish just as hard for their piece to that combo and unlike Mage, tend to leave themselves more open in the midgame when ramping/drawing than Mage ever did.
It’s entirely possible that against a reasonably aggressive deck if they didn’t get a Scale off before the Oracle turn, they’ll just get mown down regardless of their board.
What turn of the game was it?
I agree.
Yes , this druid had two onixia scales and and a nice rampings curves, its possible he had very good curve and that its not the typical game.
I had a similar experience in my last match in regards to multiple Scales, but I forced their Oracle out early. Had some absolutely wicked Spitelash turns and eventually got to finish them off with Xalatath (from Azshara) right after they played Kaz upon reaching fatigue.
Lots of snake ppl, lots of pewpew, I’m slowly getting better and better at piloting the deck.
Look like an interesting deck. do you think it’s a legend viable deck? I love mage but I’m waiting before crafting something, I only have 9 k dust remaining .
I have been playing mainly thief rogue so far, its a good deck though, very fluid to play and hooktusk can win game on the spot by stealing card lol.
Absolutely, but it’s hard as balls to play properly. You’ll probably never see it in the upper tiers for that reason, and I still wind up losing some of my turns to the rope burning out.
ZachO’s list is what I started messing with, so far I’ve dropped 1 of the Ignites for a single Siphon Mana in attempt to avoid diluting Ignite’s ramp effect. Might go with a Rainbow Glowscale, but the Naga density feels about right already.
Unless you REALLY want to play this deck, I wouldn’t recommend crafting it.
Why does everyone’s Naga deck run Ignite and not Siphon Mana? Ignite is so much worse.
Ty Wardrum, I love skill testing deck 
! I’ll probably try it in a couple of days.
Edit : Sorry Aldrius didn’t see your question. I think it was turn 9
Because with the amount of drawing the deck does, even a single Ignite adds up to a LOT of damage and the deck is quite low on burn power.
The deck has two-three big pushes that are easy to clear. Against any deck with board clears the deck relies a lot on ignite value.
Tbh the deck just looks like a worse beast druid with fewer refills and no board buffs that can actually threaten huge damage if a board isn’t cleared.
I’m pretty sure that’s wrong.
Ignite is so unbelievably low impact.
The way they’re using it really has low impact.
A deck like that should have sanctum candler instead of azshara.
She is good but winning on the spot is better.
And take flurry for hot streak too.
Lightbombe would be great against these swing turns if Control Priest still wasn’t bad.
Eh, Azshara’s more versatile.
Like i said.
Versatily is good to answer questions.
Not to Win the game.
If you can not overcomplicate things you should.
Skill in versatily only exists when that versatily is needed.
Otherwise it’s exibitionism.
It doesn’t over complicate it, I think a fire build doesn’t really make sense when you can’t really sequence it with Naga very well. Also the Tidestone is good with all the spell synergy stuff.
You’re free to think that, but the deck has very good amount of draw, letting it weave into - and even reappear depending on what order you wind up casting things - into your Spitelash turns.
The spell redundancy also helps keep your Naga synergies going without burning additional cards.
I find her much better either get a Colossus out to build board threats or finish people off with Xalatath.
