The cheap way to win is following: Put Majordomus in your deck the rest are spells. Hope he plays Mindgames and you can finish him off in 2 turns.

Priest, Rogue, Druid and Warlock work well with this strategy.

If shaman had a Boardclear you could also use reincarnate.

Wouldn't that be too much to assume?

And then what happens if you draw Majordomo OR he doesn't play mindgames before he floods the board or you can't even kill Majordomo even if the plan works?

And which spell does 8 damage to hero that would work out with priest, rogue, druid, and warlock? Isn't mage the most viable due to pyroblast?

In order for it to work, you have to draw pyroblast, pyroblast. For whatever reason he plays mindgame the first turn, summons Majordomo. On your turn next turn, use pyroblast on Majordomo. On his turn he may elect to use hero ability (since he has 2 mana) or he might summon 2 creatures. Then on your turn, use pyroblast on his face.

That would be the DREAM.

Mage won't work he will still have 2-3 minions and your mana becomes 2 meaning you cannot pyroblast him.

You need cheap damage and removal.

Priest works because of lightbomb and Mind Blast
Rogue got betrayal and tons of spells.
Warlock works because of twisting nether and other stuff.l
Druid can got poison seeds and can buff mana.

1 mana lockdown doesn't allow combos. Of course you could also attempt to mulligan deathwing and hope for mindgames on nozdormu.
My idea when they released the hero power was to play stuff like manawraith and weblord to cripple him but mana increasing and reducing effects don't work.

So how does it work on your scenario?

Wouldn't you would be just trying to remove things but you will never gain tempo fast enough for you to win it.

And mana buff doesn't work. I've tried lol.

It's simple. T1 play something defensive or offensive
T1 Mindgames Majordomus + something

T2 Lightbomb,betrayal(only forctank survives), Twisting Nether Poisonseeds
T2 Pass or rarely hero power seems bugged.

T3 Play some spell against the remaining minion or to his face Rag has 8 HP.
T3 Best thing he can do is coin out hungry dragon

T4 You win.

So you would need a certain hand or draw into it perfectly right to get this? (Not to mention, he needs to play EXACTLY the way you need him to).

That's really hardly a cheap way to win.

I'm about to try it just for kicks and giggles.

It's like that first turn double innervate + auctioneer.. with manastorm played by opponent combo to beat a heroic from last tier.
Needs exact thing, but was cool once it went off.

You can't do it with rogue because there isn't a card that does more than 3 damage (sinister strike). Evis only does 2 since you can't combo it ever.

Priest can work. Holy Fire and Mind Blast would be good spells to use once the first two turns works in your favor.

So.

I somehow got to the scenario I sort of wanted but ran into a problem that I did not expect or think about lol.



But if I had two mind blast in my hand, this could have worked!

You realize that your oppeonent won't do anything for several turns you do sinister T3, sinister+ evicerate on t4.
You can also already have an assasins blade equipped.
