Yo’s I changeout a few cards which increases the deck survivability by at least 25% and I already reached easy plat with the deck HAHA .

[@carterwong6733]

You know it’s a good combo if Mark isn’t silver 5 at the end of the video

[@ErLeuchten]

mark even reched silver 3, therefore its not just good, its broken XD

[@Dorfs]

@user-kp5vz3sj2syeah nah these are cool interactions but they arent viable builds

[@MrMpakobec]

I think this might be one of the fastest OTKs in history in terms of animation time.

[@omega4223]

It's not really a bug because arcanist applies spell damage until your next spell cast (inspite what the wording says, which also means if you were to somehow cast a spell after you discarded your whole hand it'd still have the spell damage and then consume it), more so an oversight on the dev part, but this does abuse it.

[@Xgya2000]

It applies until your next spell finishes casting. *Cast spell* -> Spell power added -> *Spell Ends* -> Spell power removed. The one spell was already cast here. It's Cataclysm. And once Cataclysm finishes casting, so, once the hand finishes discarding, the spell power is removed.

[@omega4223]

@@Xgya2000 yeah sorry that's what I meant, the spell damage is applied until the spell is resolved but discards from cataclysm take effect b4 the spell is fully resolved

[@okamiseven]

So if you played Arcanist and then Rune of the Archmage, they would all benefit too?

[@impkiller5932]

@@Xgya2000 but that doesn't work with garota lol. If you topdeck blood that would stop spelldamage. And with Yogg it works the same I think.

[@lc7269]

How do we define something as a bug? Unintentional behaviour right? And since the effect does not reflect the text; this is a bug, even if it applies the effect as you've described it

[@johngleeman8347]

Mark chose violence with this deck. The speed the opponents' health pools drop is quite a treat.

[@mayuri4184]

Whenever Mark uploads and I hear his iconic "Alright, deck intro time," I know full well fun times through shenanegans are bound to be ahead.

[@ferrankina6989]

Hey Mark. Now that the porcupine is dual beast mech. Could you do a magnetic desthrattle otk?

[@smokingbeard7796]

i love this little pause before the big dmg hit after the small ones :D

[@taleladar]

Seems you've taken this whole discard soul barrage thing to a whole new level! I think maybe all you need to put in your deck is a few dredges? So hopefully you can avoid having the cards you need being buried in the very bottom. Since you seem to be overdrawing a lot, you could probably replace some card draw effects with dredge.

[@user-uq9se1nx9q]

That deck seems much weaker then the regular meta DiscoLock - all the dead-draw combo pieces really water ot down. It doesnt really need the otk to win

[@crkTyphoon]

Actually, if I may correct you on the mechanic of an interaction: The reason, all these spells are enhanced by Spelldamage+. is not because they are being discarded, but because they are being discarded by the "FIRST SPELL" you cast after activating the effect. Spells that trigger on discard, are treated as additional effects of the source that discarded them. And since they were discarded by a spell, which happened to be the first spell cast after the SD+ effect from the minion, therefore fulfilling it's requirement, this is working as intended and the damage is being applied to the discard spell, which then as an extension also casts the discarded spells effects. which makes me curious if this can somehow be manipulated into very specific battlecry/deathrattle interactions....

[@davidlawrence5091]

Its amazing that there are finally enough good discard cards for the quest, and yet it is still bad. Supposed to have been one of OP cards in the expansion

[@tarille1043]

The thing is that Discards and the Quest have completely opposite gameplans. Discards look to get burst value from getting high value at the cost of card advantage, leading to an aggressive style of play, while the Quest is looking to have long term value from constant minion generation. Add in the fact that because Discard decks tend to draw a lot to refill their hand, long games are bad because they will fatigue far faster than their opponent. Quest would only make sense with cards like Jeklik and Zavas where you don't lose card advantage (Whilst also getting infinite Lifesteal Taunts... Well, until you run out of discard effects)... But that's only 2 Legendaries that you have to draw and discard (Then you still have to play the Jeklik's for 4 mana each...). But even then, summoning 2x 3/2's each turn is kind of meh... May as well just play Jaraxxus and get 2 mana summon a 6/6 HP and this won't also eat a board space with the portal while also fitting in with a deck that fits the control gameplan better, like Handlock.

[@555Soupy555]

@@tarille1043 such a bad reward for the deck ahahahaha

[@positivesinking]

I hecking love fist of jaraxxus animation. so fast

[@Nichtjan]

Does it work with yogg?

[@songrunner3027]

This deck probably doesn't require Runed Mithril Rod to operate.

[@BigFatCock0]

The faster you can pull off a combo the better.

[@alfkocli]

Will this combo also work with spell damage on the board (as a minion)?

[@_Oltzm_]

Yes because the minion doesn't actually die until all discard effects resolve. That's why imp and cataclysm still draws cards

[@kratosxb1658]

not sure but i think it should, because malchezars imp draws you cards when you cataclysm

[@iamspikefire]

I've seen so much spaghetti presented by Mark i'm convinced he's Italian

[@earraigh4810]

Wait, they STILL haven't fixed this? I remember at least one video you made featuring Talented Arcanist before. Come on, Blizzard.

[@briancollins8333]

[@victorzaak]

[@jetlagjack2925]

I don’t think it’s a bug because the spell damage is applied to cataclysm

Why every time you did does ami the damage go to the hero and never hit minions ? Anyways great video !

[@kazumas3369]

Because Cataclysm destroyed all the enemy minions

[@pokatek]

With this hope Blizzard see wich card they need to ban or nerf .... Tome was an awsome card.... the toxic one was that 6 damage to face.

[@ZZZZordan]

It was way too strong because of the imp 3 mana for an effect worth 5 ticks of Thaurissan minimum is bonkers

[@Photosynthesisbeing]

@@ZZZZordan We played tome for a whole expansion with no hate now you have barrage and suddenly tome is the bad guy ......guess ole powerzordon never actually played it but got rinsed in the new expac.

[@pokatek]

@@ZZZZordan the perfect nerf was that 6 damage go just to minions, no need to ban Tome or Cataclysm. Tome until this expantion saw no play on tier 1 decks.

@@pokatek game design isn't only about balance, you have to take fun into account

[@IlyaKargin]

Legendary Randuin deck is still alive! (But now it is TyRande)

[@Masterwikie]

Is not a bug, all the damage is calculated as a resolution of cataclysm. All the cards have the +2 spell damage when discarded, and will have it until finish the resolution of cataclysm. The same happens if you have Thalnos (for example) and play a Defile. All the ticks have the +1 spell damage until finish the resolution of Defile.

[@radokral]

i was pretty sure defile deals 1 damage after thalnos dies

[@Devilfish6666]

@@radokral it does. this post is plain false

[@locogato3488]

It's not a bug, the Spell Damage remains until the spell is cast.

[@tarille1043]

It is implied that the spell must be cast to receive the spell damage though. "Your next spell this turn has +2 spell damage" Of course, how it seems to actually work is "You have +2 spell damage until you cast a spell this turn" which is why it was cracked with Garrote (Which also inexplicably is a "Cast when drawn" spell that benefits from spell damage much unlike Bombs and Bloods)

[@Vict0rRezn0v]

@@tarille1043 does it still work that way with garrote?

[@tarille1043]

@@Vict0rRezn0v Yeah. Though, bear in mind that you have to draw the Bleeds with Arcanist's effect in play not cast the Garrote itself with the effect.

[@BloodDragon-40k]

So you want to get cataclysm banned from wild:)) Next you will get Warlock entirely banned:)

[@locogato3488]

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually banned Cataclysm.

[@tarille1043]

@@locogato3488 I would. Cataclysm isn't a particularly big thing. It's used basically exclusively for Mecha'thun which isn't even a dominant deck since the Bloodbloom nerf. Even this combo isn't particularly noteworthy given how slow it is as you need Rod discounts to pull off OTK damage.
