Illidan Stormrage Challenge

Recommended Posts

Guest Eunichorn

This deck worked absolutely great, though I DID switch out 1x Forbidden Words for 1x Activate the Obelisk before running it. First try though! Thanks a lot!

He deals too much damage for this deck to work. He plays 2 imprisoned antaen and boom dead I am. I think I will try with more healing and some silence. And RNG

Guest Not impressed

These decks suck, just random luck to beat him, basically dead by turn 6 every game, always have 5 mana cards in opening draw or as first hand that do almost nothing to help survive or kill his minions. By the time the bigger minions drop or come to, you're basically dead.

I wasn't having any luck with this deck or a Paladin decklist that I had found on Hearthpwn or Out of Cards (can't remember which). Ended up trying the Quest Priest decklist from Deadly Deity on YouTube, and I won this on the first try with his list. The video is here: 

And the decklist is:

It's easier if you remove the Galakrond package for Power Word: Feast, BrittleBone Destroyer, Skeletal Dragon, Catrina Muerte. 

My victory came when I stuck a Skeletal dragon for 1 turn. I was able to feast, Apotheosis, and split next turn. All this wouldn't be necessary. You really just need to keep 1 minion on board for a turn then buff/heal/copy as much as you can. He doesn't have much big (12+health) minion removal that doesn't require him to smack with his face a bunch of times. 

I tried the gala package. Didn't work. This deck got me across the finish line on attempt #2.

For anyone else trying to complete this after Barrens was released, I was able to defeat Illidan with the below priest deck on my second attempt. Strategy is basically to stay alive until he is card to card, then he is pretty easy to beat. Somewhat similar deck to my Lady Vashj deck but with more healing and less minion control. Save your Raise Dead for late game so you can hopefully get a dragon or an elemental. Illidan doesn't really know how to counter the frenzy cards so use the Braves to your advantage. He got me down to 8 health but I was able to get an Apotheosis on Alexstraza so finished the game at full health.

I beat it using warlock tickatus with defiler. Standard meta. Not tough, but you really need right mulligan: everything that deals 3 single or 2 aoe damage, tgen armor and healing. Remove illidan minions, corrupt your cards, remove his 5-10 cards, and you are the winner. Took me an hour to beat him.

Yes! Finally I’ve beaten this stage!

I’ve used the deck listed by castlefund (thank you guy!) but with a couple of changes because I’ve lost too many times finishing useful cards in hand :

-2 Insight

-1 Deathwing (too slow!)

+2 Palm Reading

+1 Natalie Seline 

Hope can help someone else!

The key to success as Nubby wrote is to buff a single minion and keeping him alive.
Bye, 
Wolf

I Had 16 Hp left and he 6 hp. Finished him with Alexstrasza 8 dmg. It took about 10 times to try. Tried about 50 times with other classes and combinations :)

Hope this helps, good luck!

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      AAECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      AECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
