You try and set up a situation where both Kaustron's have atleast one ready pet card, and are both on the same tick, and then put as many of the rest of your models as possible on that tick as well, while using polymorph and pet moves to make sure they have 0-1 guys left to go, then you take a big burst of actions, hopefully killing... everything.

Basically what PhantomKoala said, :-P.

What coverage? How does he execute said idea?

I imagine he would flip over his other pet card when the beast is needed. =p

Kaustron has weaker defenses, but making an instant-Old Bones actually lets him survive longer than Elanna will. Elanna has higher personal DPS due to taking more advantage of Jaina, but Kaustron has more overall DPS. The 24 honor is nice, but making instant pets is a very powerful ability.

Been reading most of ur matches coverage and how u execute the instant pet summon is great, did that a few times today, it just superb.

I tried the Jaina/Kaustron/Elanna team earlier at my local BG, did not do so well. Honestly Fog of War did nutting, so .. i will add polymorph next weekend since i just got it today .. Ben were so right and i went hunting for the card after the BG. I will take out the Fog of War and maybe add anothe Old Bones together with Elanna, see if it works.

Change the Elanna to a second Kaustron, :-P

Just curious, is there a reason to run double Kaustron vs. single and Elanna for anything but the extra insta-pet? His attack is slower, his defenses are weaker, and he pushes the team to 26 honor. In the time I've been playing the Jaina team, Elanna has been a very valuable piece, not just for Master Tact, but also for her fast attack, which hurts pretty good. Also, since it's hard-ish to get VPs, seems like a good idea to stay at the 24 mark rather than going over to 26. I can certainly see why double Kaustron is strong, but I feel like Elanna in that spot helps the team a bit more than Kaustron. Not to say you're wrong since it obviously works very well, it's just what I think.

It's primarily the result of the team not needing a ninth card, and my theorycraft that it was better than Ice Block against Mortimers, a matchup I had not tested. Ice Block is basically the nuts against Morts.

Ben -

In both top 8s of the last two tournaments I noticed the silk bandage present. Is this the response to a savvy warlock player believing they should not attack Jaina and potentially nullifying ice block?

For realz, tho, I'd try and fit a Polymorph in place of Fog of War for use against Savin / HHT.

Thanks Ben ... but i would if i could add in another Kaustron. Currently I only got 1 copy :(

Oh sorry, I didn't know that 2 rerolls and Moonkin made you consistently hit for full with a crit...

~

when i played against this team the first CL hit old bones then the water ele and then hit the hunter :P

Then Kaustron and Jaina both insta-summon new pets, and you are out a Chain Lightning (and three ticks.)

Apparently I wasn't screwed on those 3 ticks if by me doing this in almost every game I played against this team and won 6 of the 7 games then I guess it worked very well now didn't it?
