“Plot Twist” is a new Warlock spell that puts your current hand back in your deck and replaces it with a new one.
When I saw this card, and looted Fel lord Beltrug, I immediately started wondering how much crazy bulsh*t I could do with that.
So far, here’s what I got :
Augmented Elekk (Baleful banker?) for infinite deck
Aranasi Broodmother for infinite sustain
Fel lord Betrug for board clear + triggering deathrattles (piñata, dragon egg, rotten applebeam…)
In some games, I’ve been able to spam the elekk+plot hole combo so many times, and get so much healing from the Aranasi Broodmother that it actually felt broken. I’m having so much fun with it, it’s amazing.
Its fun yes,i also have been trying things with betrug. I like deathrattles as they will trigger from him,the 8/8 dr heal 8 and maybe also mechanical dragon that spawns the 7/7. You will probably also want to run dolmaster dorian if you go the deathrattle route (which I don’t have unfortunately). If there was 1 more good dr then it would be worth it I think but right now only the mech dragon is really good which I doubt is enough. Betrug as a clear and no aditional value from death rattles is a bit meh I think.
Dr morrigan is an interesting option as you will copy him and get 1 more in your deck. The bad pulls with morrigan would be betrug and dollmaster,everything else should be ok. But since you wont copy morrigan into your deck (with dollmaster/betrug +having the 1/1 die) until you play at least betrug or dolmaster the risk to pull a blank with him is pretty small.
2x8/8 heal 8
2xmechanical dragonling
1xdr morrigan
1xfellord betrug
1xdolmaster.
You will want some more big things though,not sure what. Maybe even cairne is an idea though it seems really slow in todays meta. I don’t think warlock is best class for a deck like this,hunter abuses the deathrattles better and earlier,but its worth a try.
Dr morrigan I already got but dollmaster I will have to craft, I doubt he will be usefull for anything but warlock+plot twist which makes me hesitate a bit.
Betrug’s the obvious one, but there’s a few other setups too.
Portal Master (5/2, shuffles three 2/2 rushers) can be boosted by letting you fish for the rushers. Might not be all that much value, but there’s this guy and his bigger brother, for potentially quite a number of tiny rush minions.
Soularium + Twist. Yeah, it’s essentially just a glorified Arcane Intellect, but with the advantage that you can hold off on Twist if you actually need one of the Soularium-drawn cards right now, you get to reset your hand, and its nice that it annuls Twist’s normal card loss.
Combined with Vargoth, you can reshuffle twice. This doesn’t really accomplish anything if you’re just trying to get a decent hand, but it does give a second shot at all the Plot Twist synergies. On top of that, I believe there is an odd Betrug interaction when a minion is summoned at end/off turn where it doesn’t die, but I need to test this.
Hey there, thank you for bringing those interactions up, I created a homebrew meme that includes these shenanigans, only missing Morrigan, is she worth it ? Should I craft ?
Not sure as it’s just a meme but if Morrigan makes it a funnier meme I could be tempted to craft it.
No, not a worthwhile craft, and they patched out one of the very good meme ideas you could do with her too (a poster around here named Schyla could tell you more).
Portal Master (5/2, shuffles three 2/2 rushers) can be boosted by letting you fish for the rushers. Might not be all that much value, but there’s this guy and his bigger brother, for potentially quite a number of tiny rush minions.
Oh yes indeed, I do have those in my deck. When comboed with the Elekk, it’s actually insane. I’ve have turns where my whole board gets filled with them.
But sometimes, I’ve also had them overlap with Betrug, since they would take all the board and my more useful minions wouldn’t get in because of it.
Since I have so many expendable units, I added Spirit of the Bat to my deck, too.
I crafted 2 Portal Keepers in gold then I cut them out of my deck after playing with them enough.
Portal Keepers can lose you the game vs aggro like Tempo Rogue way too easily. 5/2 doesn’t live and even if you Solarium into Plot Twist you can draw none of them. Games over by turn 7-9 if you draw no dogs.
Portal Keepers are fun vs slower decks, but if you draw them when you don’t need them 2/2 is pretty weak and the 5/2 probably dies to aoe/cheap removal.
2 Shriek
1 Solarium
2 Soul Warden
± 2 Reckless Diretroll Discard Package can be fun to combo with plot twist copying.
