Magmar Mechaz0r deck

Gyazo

This is my current deck and i was wondering what i could do to make it better, help me internet

Looking at your card choices I assume you being a new player. Not a Magmar player myself, still, I believe I can give you a general piece of advice.

So, a piece of advice.

1)Veteran is bad. There are lots of better neutral 4-drops for magmar, Sunsteel Defender is a good example. Even without flash reincarnation.
2)Plasmastorm seems counterproductive with lots of low attack minions in your deck. Do you use it at all? If yes, when?
3)Makantor Warbeast is a musthave. Get 3 of 'em ASAP.
4)You may want to have more consistent MechaZ0R. If so additional mechs may help: look for Z0R and Chassis. Also you may want to include some draw or cycle. Sojourner works wonders with frenzy, you may want to check on this.
5) In general, if I wanted to make a mech deck, I’d probably use Starhorn and less high cost minions (lower curve) with additional draw from BBS and, say, Entropic Gaze. But the latter is from BloodBound expansion, thus hard to get.
6) If you ever get a hold of Lavalasher life of your magmar would become better in general. You may consider this, though it’s from Ancient Bonds, and thus hard to get.

Hope that helps, but take my points with a bit of doubt. As I said, I’m not a magmar main.

For the good (though mostly unorthodox) mech decks you may want to look at this thread:

DeathsAdvocate puts Mechs in all the factions

Ah yes the much loved but mostly hated neutral archetype. The key to mechazor is a combination of consistency and a back up plan that meshes with mechs. Ideally you want cheap draw power to search for mechs, and positional changers to get a dispelled mechazor back in the mix. There is always the question of how many mechs to run, usually you run 5/6 (No Alter Rex does not count) choosing between chasis or zor depending on what your curve looks like. If you have exceptional draw power you can jus…

Maybe it’s time to also promote @deathsadvocate’s Master Thread:

DeathsAdvocate’s Master Thread: Unearthed Prophecy

New master thread: The thread needs a pretty big update since the balance patch, but with the new X-pac right around the corner I am going to hold off and keep my focus on the new generals for now. Post x-pac Pre-xpac Master Thread It is getting to the point that I have to many threads to update separately so I am collecting everything here. I left out a bunch of my older/gimicky lists for now since they all need some updating, but you can still find them in the previous mas…

In contrary to @alplod I wouldn’t recommend Z0R. With all the Thunderhorns around Z0R’s a risk in my eyes - but I have to say I haven’t tried it. I’m just happy to see my opponent play Battle Pets in my games. It’s kinda auto win for me.

Since you appear to be a new player and on a budget, other than obviously just recommending stuff in my master thread, here is my suggestion for a budget Mech Vaath deck that has an emphasis on control so that when you can’t find your Mech pieces you can at least survive. It also has an alternate win condition in rush/thumping and Vaath smash.

It also has a couple fun tricks with diretide. Frenzy plus a Rush minion is always rude, and frenzy plus sojourner allows you to draw a multiple cards off of him, one for each thing he hits. Between that and Void Hunter card advantage should be manageable.

I realize since your likely on a budget you probably don’t have access to zor, chassis or most epics and legends nor the ancient bonds or blood-borne set. And a bunch of those are niche cards that may not be worth crafting. However Makantor is an absolute must if your playing magmar, disenchant whatever you have to to get three of them. In the mean time plasma can fill in. And if your fairly committed to mechs I would pick up chasis and replace void hunter with it when you can.

@alplod
Plasma is an amazing card to have even if you have a lot of low ATK minions. It just shuts down various archtypes and having AOE is important. However since he is on a budget there’s another great synergistic AOE option with diretide frenzy, so I’m picking that instead for the budget option. Normally I would recommend plasma, but it, makantor, and diretide would be a little overkill.

Starhorn is my Mech choice, but not for a new player. Vaath is just so strong and strait forward and doesent feed your opponent cards, best to get draw elsewhere for this, on top of starhorn needs quite a few expensive cards before I would even consider him.

Thanks for the info, plasma storm I usually use against Abyssinian decks when they all in with a blatant disregard for my own minions, other than that its used when i get overwhelmed as a backup plan.

Just so everyone who comments on this thread knows, i am not new to card games or turn based strategy. I’ve played quite a bit of hearthstone and magic the gathering and have dabbled in xcom
