Intro (~10 min)
Welcome to Episode 437 of Coin Concede, a Hearthstone podcast dedicated to making the competitive side of the game more accessible to you.
It is Thursday, March 7th, 2024 in the evening!
Coming to you from Gnomeregan, Ohio, it's me, Edelweiss!
From Northrend, Massachusetts, we have WickedGood!
From Teldrassil, California we have Magesa!
And from all around the world we have you, dear listeners.
Thanks for reviews
How's life and ladder? -
Edelweiss -
Wickedgood - Home alone this weekend, That stupid mage deck, then highlander warrior, then Twist nostalgia
Magesa - Couldn’t buy a win in standard, but enjoyed Twist warrior and paladin. Might play some sludges or drum druid OR this overheal priest from VS 👀. Mirrors are funny, I made a hunter rage quit (after disrespecting one right before), and I found a baby Magesa!

Decksplanations
- Random note: all sigs are dr. boomified versions of the characters
- Paladin - Auras, keyword synergy
- Some divine shield minions: Zilliax, Amitus, Hi Ho Silverwing, Righteous Protector, Tigress Plushie above, Living Horizon, Jitterbug, cool ghoul, Annoy-o-Troupe, stone dragon
- Relevant spells: spotlight, shroomscavate
- Is this the same as the excavate deck? That does give another big buff
- Handbuff things: we do have that tailor from FoL, plus like of course chain gang, and that’s for enforcer
- Call me crazy but are we even playing Boogie Down, what are our 1-drops besides protector and salesman; vrykul? tar slime? Slither?
- Dance floor for that deathrattle
- Earthens?
- Shaman - Battlecry synergy
- Clarification: the Hagatha slimes have the same cost, attack, and health as the cost of the spell. So it’s a tutor and adds a body (and triple battlecry potential); it is not a mana cheat
- Shudderblock: Basically the enemy hero has immune while shudderblock is going off
- Note this doesn’t work with the murloc excavate reward
- Jepetto? (on jepetto, anything with zilliax: 5 million sparkbots!)
- Things to triple: Sand Art of course, Shining Sentinel, Inzah (use Thorim), Ignis, oddballs like son of hodir or maruut, abusive sargeant and leeory, and of course Hagatha and her slimes!
- An elemental shaman that wins via bloodlust instead of skarr? (Or in addition?)
- Or you just triple wish upon a star an al-akir
- Hear me out, we incredible value only to tutor our sand art elemental (and have no other 4 drops)
- I think we might want to run multiple good hits for shudder in the same deck, for redundancy and flexibility
- Also baking soda volcano seems good, compare regular volcano
- Warlock - Handlock things
- Excellent flavor (as all of them)
- So our demons are doomguard, mainly. Mo’arg Drillfist, Waste Remover, Wretched Queen, Enhanced Dreadlord, Malefic Rook, Sargeras (anti-synergy) are also demons
- Shadow spells: endgame, resurrection, dirge of despair
- Cursed Campaign: base copies. Also dormant ticks at the beginning of your turns, so if something goes dormant 2 on opponent’s turn it will tick to 1/2 on your following turn, opponent takes a turn, then awaken with summoning sickness on your turn after that
- https://twitter.com/songbirdcora/status/1764359618807861316?s=46&t=rJDI9czIihi_vm-NdPHDpg “An important question we asked ourselves early on in the Whizbang's Workshop design process was ‘Which Hearthstone character has the most punchable face?’ Anyway here's Nemsy.”
- Footman
- Demon Hunter - Draw, demons, and Ci’Cigi?
- Fwiw Tram operator draws magtheridon and makes it 6 mana
- Rogue - Pirates and Sonya
- Priest - Dragons and Raza
- I HAVE THOUGHTS (which I don’t need to write because I REMEMBER THEM)
- I’ll just say the origin of “Purifying Power” is very good
- Mage - No-minions and freeze
- Clarifications:
- Watercolor Artist: Cost reduction is an enchantment on the card you draw while it’s in your hand, not on the minion, so it keeps working even if the minion dies. To quote Hat, “we must separate the art from the artist”
- Projection Orb: it works off base cost, will not cast itself, and also casts from the pool of spells you have cast this game, not all random spells of that cost. So it’s like Magister Dawngrasp. Also will not cast spells from the Wisdomball; to quote Hat, “ball and orb are sworn enemies”
