Q-bloodrage-damage meme deck

[yowohokid]

Here a new meme deck I’ve made. Its a combo between two ideas (not mine): kajuta+dance of dreams+a bunch of 1-drops with 1hp, and Q removes everything but bloodrage combo. Here’s the deck:

Turn 1: Play kajuta.
Turn 2: play dance of dreams and half of your deck (1-drops with 1hp). Try to hit mana tilles to gain more mana. If your lucky you might play Q or blood rage on kajuta.

Here’s me playing against a friend (don’t judge him, he is completely new to the game):

I highly recommend to watch my first two turns of this replay.

But why is Q’ in that deck? After playing Q’ you have no mana for Blood Rage anymore.

[humancalc]

So why do you need Q?

If you have your Kujata and Dance of Dreams running you should just play Blood Rage.

Playing Q during Dance just stops the flow.
If you play Q before Dance then you have no minions for Blood Rage.
You shouldn’t play Q after Dance + Blood Rage since you should have won.

I got a notification that you had linked this post to one of mine? But now that I am looking I see no indication of such, but anyways while I am here I may as well say my part. I have done quite a bit of experimenting with both Q and Dance of Dreams, although I do not think mixing the two of them is really the way to go. Also Fang or Mandrake tend to be better then bloodrage due to not requring you to stick a minion first.

Here is my old Q list that I made during rotations, but never got around to revisiting:

Q Spikes: Gimmicky/Competitive

Ultra consistent deck with stupid amounts of draw, tiny chance of mechazor or Arkaki OTK, complete with some healing for stall.

Goal with almost perfect consistency being Q on 6, deci/spikes on seven, and then Heart/Deci/Spikes on eight. Even if you have one health and no cards left in deck despite taking damage up to four times during the combo it must resolve before heart breaks, meaning you survive with one health once it finishes.

Consistent back to back decimus with no risk off dying to your own deci/spikes is a scary principle, but in practice 8 mana is awful slow for such a combo, even though you pretty much guarantee getting game with it it just remains a gimmick because Q kind of makes the rest of your deck pretty weak for such a late game plan.

And here is my dance of dreams stuff:

Dance of Memes is a fairly old mostly joke of a deck, the trick involves Kujata, most of your deck being 1/1/1 units, and dance of dreams, allowing you to play kujata and dance and then kill every unit you summon allowing you to draw your whole deck, which combos with twinfang because kujata does damage so you can OTK someone out of nowhere.

Unfortunately the all in oldschool all in version of the deck needs seven mana to go off out of hand unless you risk letting a kujta die, it needs to draw the right cards, and for the opponent to not catch on to what your doing and just stay out of starhorns reach.

However I have breathed new life into the deck. I traded a little bit of the decks consistency and otk potential in order to add the Seismoid/Mech package. So not only can Seismoid serve as an alternative to dance of dreams, the mech package just gives the deck way more draw power letting you find what you need much more consistently, or just sort of play floodhorn using dance/seismoid outside of combos. You even have a small chance of pumping out mechazor as a backup plan.

The other big change that came for the deck was Mirriom and Mandrake. While running a mandrake version in the past was possible it felt even worse then the fang variant. But mirrom has changed this, as it will allow you to play up to 12 Mandrakes and or extra mechazors. The big thing about this version of the deck is its actually very competitive since it can go off as early as turn one! Unfortunately despite its theoretical power it runs into a serious issue with the turn timer, and of course it still does need to actually find its combo cards.

The deck still really crutches on finding some combination of kujata, dance, or seismoid to perform well, and due to the dance of dreams combo being less consistent the deck requires a ton more careful planning and really fighting against that turn timer. Its an incredibly difficult deck to play, but if you can manage to play it right its actually pretty dang scary.

Fang and mandrake are still interchangeable in either version of the deck depending on personal preference, and if you do choose the fang variant you can also just play fang without the need for a full combo thanks to the decks flood capability. The mechs also keep people from cluing into the fang otk capability.

Regardless of which variant you choose the deck has to many issues to be truly top notch as you need to choose your poison between consistency or fighting the turn timer, and the rare occasion of just not finding what you need, so its ultimately a gimmick.

Would be awesome if you upload more of your decks to Duelspot

I also really like the mechs in your Q’ list

[deathsadvocate]

So much work though , between my duelyst morale being broken and my schedule I am just not up to it right now.

[boronian]

Sad to hear that! Hope you come back soon

No love for a Rawr-based rage deck?

The sheer swarm from Rawr creates a lot of attacks, making a simple kujata cause lethal. This deck is definitely not refined, but its the one I run, relying on kujata to create crazy discounts on decimus/Rawr to deal massive damage, followed by running away and healing before casting Stampede to clear face.

Requires god positioning, and a lot of skill (for a magmar deck).

Might as well throw a link to my old Q Mechhorn version here too: Miguel's Miscellaneous Memes

[deathsadvocate]

Oh man, I have not played with Rawr since thunderhorn came out, but with both Rev and Horn nerfed this has some serious potential!

Here is a quick rough draft attempt at optimizing the deck:

Skorn/Fang can be ditched for Deci/Spikes if prefered, and at that point I would drop replicant for Herald, but its nice to step away from Deci/Spikes once in awhile plus it has more synergy with out it.

Its basically my Dentist deck just dropped the good old golem package to make room:

A name I use every expansion, every-time the deck tends to look quite different, but the core of the deck remains the same: Twin Fang and lots of Pain.

The decks primary trick involves developing a decent field and then using krater, quillbeasts, rebuke, and or self damaging ramp to get massive value out of bloodrage on an already active minion, or a surprise massive fang, although fang can be used defensively in a pinch.

Quillbeasts effect procs on cast, if you have quill on the field and you cast Blood Rage on a minion with one health, quill will deal damage, and then bloodrage will apply its buff and that one health minion will survive thanks to the buff.

The deck packs great aoe with krater, quill, rebuke, and makantor. We also have Magmars powerful midrange/golem package featuring three ways to get a turn two lavalasher with ragebinder giving the deck a touch of healing. And card advantage is coverd through starhorn, a medium curve, and replicant. Replicant is also a super nifty six mana combo to follow up a kujata and then toss on a fang.

Its a very effective, although fairly tough to play, deck that involves a lot of math and careful planning.

I see now that this deck needs a heavy rework or to be completely abondoned. But I am grateful for all you awesome replies and dope decklists! They look really fun, can’t wait to try them out
