Maly Goes West
This last weekend was spent recuperating from the heavy drinking that occurred while watching my favorite baseball team, the Giants, win the pennant, by watching some Hearthstone tournaments. And we had a damn fine Hearthstone tournament to watch with the
Seatstory Cup II
event that took place. I knew that I would likely write up one of the decks used by the winner but I had no idea it would be the Malygod deck that shined brightest.
Savjz
, from Team Liquid, (pronounced SAV-EEE.....eh, I have no idea) has a special place in my heart since he was the winner of the first ever
Angry Chicken Invitational
, so it was quite entertaining for me to watch him do so well with such a fun deck.

Hunter: Not Dead Yet
After the nerf to Starving Buzzard many predicted that Hunter was about to fall to the bottom of the totem pole. A lot of people were excited for this shift and what it would mean for the ladder and the overall balance of Hearthstone as Hunter had been on top for quite a while at that point. Hell, I was one of them. The first night after the nerfs went live I played Handlock all night and had a blast. Little did I know that almost instantly Hunters would make their triumphant return. Sure, the deck list has changed and the mid-range Hunter isn't nearly as good as it was with the Buzzard/Unleash combo but the class is going as strong as ever.
In this article we'll take a look at what a modern Hunter deck looks like without Starving Buzzard or Leeroy Jenkins and break down each card and its place in the deck.

The Burn Shall Burn You! A Guide to Aggro Mage
Last week we discussed the mighty Handlock which is a deck full of huge minions and AoE spells that can control the board and win in the late game. It's a very popular deck on the ladder again and in tournaments and we witnessed the power of Handlock this last weekend in the Road to Blizzcon EU tournament in particular. Kolento was able to 3-0 TheFishou after being down 2-0 to an incredibly fast Aggro Mage. In this article we'll talk about that fast Mage deck and why it could be a good deck for tournaments and, depending on the meta, the ladder as well. Mage has been mostly absent from the meta game for a while now mostly due to the prevalence of Hunter and Control Warrior but as the meta shifts, decks like this become viable again.
This deck relies on getting minions out quickly that can be buffed on subsequent turns to get a bunch of damage to the face in the early game, then burn the opponent out with the large amount of Mage spells that can get past popular taunts like . There are some very favorable match ups that are popular right now, especially Handlock, but a deck this fast can really beat anything if the draws come in correctly. The early damage potential combined with mid-game burst means that this deck can just run people over. This style of Mage deck is not new by any means but with some of the Naxx cards that have been added recently it has improved quite a bit.

Leeroy? Handlock Don't Need No Stinking Leeroy
September 22nd marks the end of an era. The era of at least still having chicken. The era of time being up so just doing it. The era of 5 mana filling up the hand of a Hunter because somehow it's balanced. The era of certain card emotes leading to insta-concedes. At least it seems that way as I write this. Most people believe, and I agree, that the nerfs to Hunter and Leeroy will likely kill Hunter's dominance on the ladder and lead to a meta with much less burst potential and I for one welcome our new Handlock overlords. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in all that the return of the Handlock!
These nerfs do a lot to help Handlock become incredibly powerful on the ladder again but we also have some great Naxx cards that can be added as well. The reason Handlock was a liability when Hunter was so prevalent is the combination of Hunter burn spells and hero power as well as the ease of taunt removal with Hunter's Mark. The idea behind Handlock is to fill your hand up at the expense of life and then use the large hand and low life to enable cheap giants. This deck was not viable when Mage was popular and wasn't viable against Hunter either. Now with Hunter likely going the way of the dodo, unless Mage comes back, Handlock will crush a lot of the minion based decks that are left.

Holy Undertaker, Batman. Priest is Back!
While I was away we have seen the explosive return of the Priest class. This was not a surprise to a lot of players since Priest got one of the better class cards in Naxxramas. What is surprising is how much some of the other Naxx cards have accelerated this resurgence. Undertaker is a key component in the new Deathrattle Priest deck. Yong Woo is calling it Donut Rush but I'll go with for this article as that is how this deck wins and donuts are fattening.

Hearthstone is Officially Naxxed Out
We did it, you guys. We killed all of the bosses in the Naxxramas solo adventure. We out-dpsed Patchwerk, charged through Thaddius and cooled off the Frostwyrm Lair. Now that Kel'Thuzad has been put down and all of the cards are in play it's time to review the last two sets we have earned. This is the moment we were all waiting for as now all of the exciting new combinations and decks are possible. The last weekend of tournaments and ladder play were a great example of the life that 30 new cards breathed into the meta game.
Winning decks featured plenty of s, s and s. The tournament scene is no longer being overrun with Zoo Warlocks and Miracle Rogues, although Hunters have stepped up to replace them. It is an exciting new era and now that this first major content expansion has completed we can start delving into specific decks again next week. For now let's look at the rest of the Naxx set and grade each card individually.
