[@Heretic721]

I know I only did a little bit on Ghoul-acabra, but that is because I expect it to be nerfed, and waiting for that to come through to cover it more if it needs it after the nerf.

[@Chasen047]

Fantastic content!! Very helpful! Hoping to see this for some of the other minion types that were most impacted by the last patch. Thanks!

[@Sir3Ns]

Beast! Keep it up Heretic! So close to 5k! Next month for sure!

[@naycknico]

You are just so chill brother, love your style, keep going

[@exaltedsawgunner]

I definitely believe this channel will grow- and it deserves to. I appreciate the quality Guides/ Videos.

[@Robannnnnnnnn]

Love your content keep IT up

[@laura-sandy1492]

Great guide as always. I'd only add that Silver Goose is pretty good in a Lasher build. too. If you buff it to a very significant amount, it will keep summoning fledgings and keep triggering the Lasher whenever it takes damage. I've often kept a 200-200 Silver Goose into the late game, combined with Irredescent and the Lasher, Spike Saviour, Rampager and sometimes a Rooster and it was explosive. Usually get 2nd or 1st place doing this. Currently 5.1K MMR :-)

[@dracotoy]

Beast just feels so consistent right now. Im still relearning but it has by far been the easiest comp to succeed with

[@slowpoke8443]

I like these videos. I look forward to the buddy videos

[@MrSakki14]

Great guide heretic, i love this new (Ghoul-acabra) is sick and amazing.

[@iamthereddemon20]

Been waiting for this excitement

[@Jakerunio]

I love the prime mate when you generate it randomly in combat. Free gold out of nowhere is awesome; had a funny turn where I got two out of nowhere while playing sneed and I had 20 gold on my next turn lol.

[@Heretic721]

I have not played Sneed yet this seasons, but hope damn he must be great with Sneed!

[@Jakerunio]

@@Heretic721 sneed is incredible with ghoulacabra, too. Make sure you have your macaw trigger the buddy’s death rattle for insane stats.

[@AtomicSpeedFT]

Moose is good to shove in with reborn if you have a bad board and you’re opponent is doing fantastic, or if you just need a extra minion temporary and they have divineshields

[@Raluid]

Sooo close to the 5k mark. Lets go!!!

[@dominosdomino9617]

If you can tier three them getting a macaw next to a spikey boi I like having doggo on the board cause it can grow hard with spikey but with Titus and blue bird then trigore I’ve grown trigore into the thousands lol and then ghoul acabra would probably be insane with it too I’ve never actually gotten that tho lol

[@parth2118]

Ghoulacabra is so busted, the first game I got him I won, played an undead reborn build with two ghoulacabras and it won me the game again. Especially with a titus and nightbane things get really craxy

[@alexlc2566]

This is a very good chanel why not i will sub

[@noahkamakeeaina5454]

thanks the BG goat ❤

[@Jdkelly2206]

These videos are so nice I would love to see a menagerie version it’s one build that just doesn’t click with me

[@xanden1]

Props to the video editor!

[@Joe-nh8eq]

@22:42 brings back memories of me high rolling and getting a golden papa bear very early… only to get absolutely obliterated

[@gantref9202]

I feel like trigore is good its just massively overshadowed by the ghoul-acabra builds. If I have a ghoul-acabra setup and I have to choose I'd rather a ghastcoiler, mechahorse, or a rapscallion recruiter, pretty much anything that gives me more death rattles.

[@Heretic721]

If they do not touch Ghoul-acabra I am going to have that one pretty well built out in the Menagerie guide I do next!

[@Raluid]

Just an idea for a future video: "unexpected synergies". Im interested in unexpected combinations of minions that work well. Could be niche, doesn’t have to be menagerie. Just an idea.

[@Heretic721]

I have something on the radar right now. Next thing is actually Menagerie, and then I am hoping to get to other interesting stuff.

[@Coopin56]

Attaching microbot deathrattles to arid and playing goul with titus gives all the buffs for every deathrattle even if there isn’t space to summon all the microbots. 5 magnetizations on an arid with ghoul and Titus = +24/24 for each minion without any golden minions

[@Heretic721]

Tried this last night.. such bad design. Blizzard who is testing!? I get when people find odd stuff that has funky interactions, but this seems like any testing would of noticed this quickly.

[@RiquFX]

Sneed buddy with Ghoul acabra is just broken. Let him die first and the whole board gets buffed to infinity lmao

[@Heretic721]

Sneed reminding the world that he exists... and we should all be afraid! Pfft and people worried about Old Gods on Azeroth... it is SNEED, and his two tame Ghoul-acabra's you should be fearing!

[@tinofaygo]

Step 1: Luck into Ghoulacabra before turn 9. Step 2: Buy any deathrattles and a Titus. Step 3: Do nothing. Step 4: Grats on First place.

[@agunlogisteam]

I think ghoulacabra nerf will be something like the buff reduced and it only applies in combat only. Or make it to tier 7. I know its dual tribe but maybe dual tribe 7 incoming??? Papa Bear doesnt really belong to tier 7 beast i think

[@Heretic721]

I have heard lots of thoughts on how it will be nerfed, and am eagerly waiting for that nerf. Monday the game is down for maintenance. Hoping for a patch then.

[@tsundude4320]

Some tier 6 minions need to be removed

[@xanden1]

Nerf ghoul and you nerf undead, undead needs help not nerfs!

[@Heretic721]

The entirety of the previous patch Undead were the second strongest performing tribe behind only beasts, so I doubt it would bother them that much.

[@Begeru]

Beast just feel so weak without Banana Slamma. They can’t scale like crazy anymore compared to tribes like Elementals, Mechs, and Quilboars

[@macfallan]

You're incorrect. I'm roughly 8k mmr, beasts are Strong. You can't simply slam beasts and expect to win, use the deathrattle monkey to gain extra gold, buy discover spells to get your set pieces. The buddy meta is all about cheating out powerful plays using spells. Your buddy keeps you healthy long enough to get a real build going.

[@Heretic721]

Beasts are by far the most powerful tribe. Their win rate is LEAGUE'S ahead of all others right now, and they really are not the most broken of all time win rate wise.... but they are SUPER CLOSE. Not sure who you are fighting, but they are broken right now.
