[@duckgamer7095]

It's a bit late, but - in this deck, I only have 1 Witches Brew, because that's just all I have in my collection. What I have as a replacement is the less flexible Omega Mind. Combined with Hagatha's Scheme, it's a full heal. I haven't seen this combo anywhere else - it's Reno Jackson + Twisting Nether, for just 7 mana - although it does have some downsides. Also, for the Drustvar Horror, picking Storm Bringer isn't good. It can transform your Shudderwock before it gets your Elysiana battlecry.

[@derekdunbar4694]

Now bear with me here: What if he'd been playing warrior and that Hagatha's Scheme was Dr. Boom's Scheme. By the end, he would have been gaining like 30 armor. In ridiculous control match-ups like this... maybe it's actually good?

[@scaevolla719]

Probably not. Problem is: those match-ups are decided by fatigue and fatigue damage is non-linear. If you are at 30 health, you would die at fatigue 8 (36 damage total). If you are at 30 health and 30 armor you would die at fatigue 11 (66 damage total). So adding 3 cards to your deck is better than a 30 armor in such match-ups.

[@arifridwanabriyanto9286]

Only if you play it along Vargoth then it might be matters.. But then, why not just play single baleful Banker instead to counter mirror matchups

[@Hassan94123]

Vargoth casts the starting spell. Supposing the Scheme stood in hand for 30 turns, instead of gaining 60 armor, he would gain 31.

[@parknight630]

Similar ridiculous game, but a little more ridiculous. I was playing Rafaam Warlock playing against Kibler's decklist. Regular slow paced gameplay and then I smashed Rafaam down. I spotted the same combo. Shudderwock and Elysiana, against a Shudderwock Elysiana deck. We played till fatigue and both put down our elysianas. With Chameleos though, I copied swampqueen's battlecry and minion, I added Nozari to heal me in case I was low, and refilled my deck. After playing our second deck refills, my shudderwock activated Rafaam's battlecry again and I found Barista Lynchen in my hand to bounce shudderwock back. We played some more and then I got low so I was forced to play the shudderwock in hand. In th meantime I added in Myra's battlecry. When I played the Shudderwock, Myra's battlecry added Dr. Morrigan's deathrattle so Shudderwock was reshuffled into my deck. Finally my opponent conceded.

I get why a streamer like you would enjoy this kind of games. They're obviously fun to create youtube content and entertain your audience. On the other hand, for a "normal player" like me it has become almost impossible to have kind of a "normal game" on hearthstone, either because of Control warriors where the games are going to last forever and it can be boring to grind ladder, or some other nonsense full RNG games where you just CAN'T have a normal/fair fight. Hearthstone is currently a giant clownfiesta where the outcomes of games are mostly decided by which cards you discover, who plays Chef Nomi or not, who has a better Archivist. Decks are not 30 cards anymore, they have like 20 random cards added to it every game. It's not very fun.

[@stonechad_squirtle]

As a normal player, i live for games like this. Its far more exciting than aggro. And you really have to use your thinker in these match ups.

is it worth crafting archivist elysiana? im mainly a control player but i just started playing again and i have no cards from rastakhan and very little from this expansion. also i want to be really wise with my dust since i dont wanna spend a lot of money on packs. i mainly want it for control bomb warrior but i have a lot of wild control decks also. so should i craft her?

[@athanasiosdemertzis8847]

Elysiana is currently the MUST have, since it is a neutral Legendary that counters the bombs decks and also gives you extra cards for long fatigue games. Absolutely yes.

[@p4r6g6777]

Elysiana seems like a staple for control in this new meta. As a Free-to-play player that has to budget their dust and who also likes to play control, Elysiana was the first legend I crafted from the set. Elysiana is so vital in this new meta that control warrior decks are even playing that stupid heckling taunt robot card that summons a minion from your opponent's deck to try and cheese a win by getting Elysiana (and thus, the opponent not getting her battlecry). Preventing fatigue for just 10 more turns is vital in control mirrors (and control mirrors seem to be common).

[@obnoxiousjumper279]

she is a control deck dream everyone plays her in control now

[@DrBXXI]

I'm playing a similar deck but mine has a " Exotic Mountseller" instead of a "Bog Slosher". I think that the Exotic Mountseller is Hagatha's best friend. The turn she is put on the board she is already going to do something good, if she survives a single turn things will go crazy, and she gives a good use to some of the useless spells you get from Hagatha.

[@Siirr22]

Accurate, they were in the 30s already on turns (because of kiblers hagathas scheme keeping track) so he had to last less then 10 turns, which is super doable with the state of the game where he concedes and Dr boom generating continual value

[@deathwing9664]

I thought getting a draw counts as losing

[@Siirr22]

@vladimaster, nah it counts as "nothing" same as in arena, no loss and no win, no impact on win streak on ladder, with updated news, however, it appears the maximum game turn limit has been extended or eliminated, while there previously was a max turn limit of about 40 turns each before a draw, I just had a game today that went over 60 turns due to elysiana/baleful banker and brewmaster shenanigans

I really enjoy it for grindy decks.

Archivist can also fit in multiple decks (Control Warrior as seen in this game, Priest, Shaman as BKs deck or similar, ...) There arent THAT many defining Legendarys in this expansion (i opened the Mech Hunter Legandary - forgot the name, but dont really like the Deck, I dont want to craft the Mage ones and other than that... a few good ones to have but nothing THAT defining so I went with Archivist and really enjoy it so far).
