Anyone have any ideas what they might be bringing?
As of right now i am looking at some kind of DK. I know it is probably not the strongest deck against Varanis or any other control, but it is somehting i am becoming familair with.
I found a guy to sell me his collection for 350.00. It should catch me back up to Gladiator pretty easily and it will allow me to build other things as well, so my options are not so limited.
I am interested in trying to build a sideboard with all anti-control cards in it for the chance to beat Vorna in games 2 and 3, but finding those cards is my problem. I have no play test partner at the moment. I live down south and I do not know nayone else that lives down there that would be interested in this type of serious playtesting. Anyone know anyone? I am thinking my option is going to be online testing.
I'd be down for online testing since i live in bastrop.
The side deck is going to be key to success with DK at this point.
I'd take my list from US Nationals and start from there.
The deck is really strong against any and all aggro based decks, which I think will be key to doing well in at Worlds. Pretty much the entire field is expecting Varanis and Deathwish to be the decks to beat. This will lead to a field very heavy in Kil'zin/Kuma and Blue Mage Rush.
Right now I'd test my list with the following side deck.
3x Mind Freeze
3x Talisman of the Horde
3x Retribution of the Light
1x Vuz'din
You will literally have a transformational side deck against Varanis siding in all ten cards. Against Deathwish Mind Freeze and Talisman will come in giving you a very very strong matchup against it.
Any deck with strong graveyard manipulation will see Retribution of the Light come in, it's a janky quest but perhaps the most the instant speed wrecks decks that force recursion. This is your answer to a lot of different cards and it should probably be in the main but it is dead in some match ups so it will need to be regulated to the side.
If I were to run DK this is how I would currently build it, but right now I'm leaning more towards Shaman.
