I'm 150% positive everyone is withholding leet WotF decks for NACC.

Natural Order is overrated.

Control decks suck. Only bad players play control.

Magic players are crap. It's a crap game that's way past its prime with ancient and outdated rules.

People down south are backwards.

Realm Champs are one of the most competitive events in this game.

Dwight Howard is an ant compared to Shaq.

Fun Fact: thugmo should stop insulting other people and their decks when they do well and he doesn't

I say we just ignore thugmo from now on and never respond to him. Who know, maybe he'll stop for a while...

I've been away from the game for a little while and I just came back.

I saw this deck and it looks pretty fun so I've decided to try and give it go.

If mortal strike and Rehgar didn't play well (according to the original article), how about putting in two Overpowers and 3 Wanda Darkfizz? Seems to stay inline with the whole untargetable gig and potentially locks down your opponent on turn 6 negating protectors, quests, and abilities (minus any zero costs of course).

If Rehgar wasn't up to par with the deck. What about bumping up the damage a little by throwing in Exarch Orelis and maybe a couple Lightwarden's bands.

Maybe with a little inspire you can obliterate your opponent with a myriam ping on both you and your opponent's turns.

I really wonder how can a deck be good if it has no answer except dying to Rehgar + Orgrimmar on turn 7...

Because Rehgar can target the Untargetable allies, right? ;)

Well, for those of us that do not have the luxury of having 3-4 Weldons to put in the deck, you gain the slots to put in 3-4 more weapons making MS better. The early version I built contains P-blades, V-brands, and Twin Blades.

I guess Mortal Strike can be used as a blast on annoying allies too, like Sayge if you have V-Brand out.

Out of the 182 players in Turin, my guess is there was like 0 sayge being played.

This is the Ally heavy version of Emmi. Another version basically only runs 8-12 allies and packs more weapons and Heroic/Mortal Strikes. I kind of like this one better.

Cheers.

I think Mortal Strike might be in there as a pseudo-Sudden Death if nothing else. Instant ally removal, basically. Although extra hero burn out is an option, as well as anti-heal... I think the versatility would be what originally drew him to running it.

Understandable that there are probably better cards to include though, it's not really suited to the deck, as others have stated.

I wouldn't exactly call this a strike out deck. Why is Mortal Strike even in this build? Using it as a sort of heal interrupt maybe. I don't know.

how bout putting absolute poise in place of mortal strike?
