October 07, 2019 01:41 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBEpisode 244 Highlander Hunter New month, new deck. Highlander Hunter is a very popular deck that is at the top of the meta and leverages powerful cards that require a Reno-style deck to work.

Episode 243 Murloc Shaman

Episode 238 Murloc Paladin
August 25, 2019 18:31 - 1 hour - 54.1 MBEpisode 238 Murloc Paladin We try a deck that has been dominating the meta leaderboards and FRID has found some success with. This deck has consistent board refill and endgame potential for explosive lethals by taking advantage of Zephrys.
Episode 237 Singleton Zoo
August 18, 2019 17:35 - 43.4 MBFRID has had some success with a couple of variants of Zoo Warlock and stumbled upon a version that uses single copies of cards to take advantage of Episode 237 Singleton Zoo. Zephyrs the Great. It feels like the best of both versions of zoo combined with a good flavor of the new
Episode 236 Quest Shaman
August 04, 2019 21:37 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBEpisode 236 Quest Shaman We kick off the Saviors of Uldum meta with a deck Dan has been enjoying in the early days of the meta. Quest Shaman takes advantage of battlecry minions to outlasts opponents.

July 14, 2019 15:03 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBEpisode 232 Token Druid Part 2 We try to replicate the success of last week by playing the same deck again this week.
Episode 231 Token Druid
July 07, 2019 23:56 - 1 hour - 55 MBEpisode 231 Token Druid. We go back to a deck we tried back in the early days of the Rise of Shadows release with token druid. With the addition of SN1P-SN4P, it seems like decks are going a the mech direction and this deck is no exception.
Episode 230 Aggro Shaman
June 30, 2019 16:27 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBEpisode 230 Aggro Shaman. While technically still June, we try a new deck I ran across that got someone Rank 6 legend. Aggro Shaman leverages the murlocs, but features the old doomhammer/rockbiter combo for some explosive finishes. This is a deck suited to Dan’s style and pace.
Episode 229 Zoo Warlock Part 3
June 23, 2019 19:42 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBEpisode 229 Zoo Warlock Part 3 We continue our journey with Zoo again this week. We make a small change and add the new card we mentioned last week SN1P-SN4P.

Episode 227 Zoo Warlock
June 09, 2019 19:21 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBEpisode 227 Zoo Warlock. We go back to basics and try a classic deck that never goes away. It’s zoo one more time. I’ve had some success with it, and in the spirit of keeping decks to a minimum, we go with what works.
Episode 226 Murloc Shaman
June 02, 2019 19:49 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBEpisode 226 Murloc Shaman New month and new deck to try for legend. Murloc Shaman is a pretty straightforward deck that plays very similarly to token druid and has some strong synergies and a lot more longevity than the druid deck thanks to cards like the 2 Hagathas and Shudderwock.
Episode 225 Mech Hunter Part 4
May 26, 2019 18:07 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBEpisode 225 Mech Hunter Part 4 We close out the month with the same version of the deck from last week. It is unlikely that Dan will get to legend this month, but there is always next month.
Episode 224 Mech Hunter Part 3
May 19, 2019 19:14 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBEpisode 224 Mech Hunter Part 3 Dan and FRID couldn’t agree on the bronze gatekeeper or the flamebot so they go on a different direction by tweaking the deck once more to include the unleash the hounds and direwolf alpha combo.
Episode 223 Mech Hunter Part 2
May 11, 2019 17:40 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBEpisode 223 Mech Hunter Part 2. It appears this deck has lost its luster but we are going to stick with it for the time being to stay consistent to the May legend run plan. It appears that the deck is now countered, but we try to see if we can make it work. We made one tweak to the deck by changing the Upgradeable Flamebot for a Bronze Gatekeeper.
Episode 222 Mech Hunter
May 05, 2019 18:04 - 1 hour - 66 MBI feel like versions of mech hunter have failed in the past but it appears like this aggressive version of mech hunter has finally cracked the code. Someone recently reached rank 1 legend with this explosive (see what I did there?) deck.
Episode 221 Zoo Warlock
April 29, 2019 01:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBEpisode 221 Zoo Warlock. Zoo Warlock is back. Zoo Warlock is always a deck and Rise of Shadows is no different. Zoo made an appearance at the World Championships this weekend and we are going to try a version for this show.
Episode 220 Token Druid Part 2
April 21, 2019 14:58 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBEpisode 220 Token Druid Part 2 This week we try the same deck as last week with the goal of refining Dan’s play. This version of Token druid takes advantage of some new cards to create a steady stream of tokens that can leverage Savage Roar to finish games.
Episode 219 Token Druid
April 14, 2019 14:59 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBEpisode 219 Token Druid. This week we try the deck that has raised to the top of the meta. This new version of Token druid takes advantage of some new cards to create a steady stream of tokens that can leverage Savage Roar to finish games.
Episode 218 The End of Rastakhan
April 07, 2019 17:22 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBEpisode 218 The End of Rastakhan. To close out the year of the Raven, we play one of the most dominant classes in the game for the last few years, Hunter.
Episode 217 Aggro Paladin
March 31, 2019 18:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBEpisode 217 Aggro Paladin. This week we play a deck suggested by long time listener Zer0cruel. Aggro Paladin bring back call to arms and divine favor to draw through the deck and tries to end the game by turn 5-6. Zero believes this is more Dan’s pace.
Episode 216 Deck Builder Shaman
March 24, 2019 17:06 - 1 hour - 66 MBEpisode 216 Deck Builder Shaman. This week we try the new deck builder and use a class that has fallen off the meta: Shaman.
Episode 215 Rush Warrior
March 17, 2019 16:49 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBEpisode 215 Rush Warrior. This week we play a deck that has gained some recent popularity on the ladder and we haven’t tried before.
Episode 214 Even Paladin
March 10, 2019 16:58 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBEpisode 214 Even Paladin. This week we try a deck that has come and gone from the meta and is Dan’s favorite class. Even Paladin is a bit slower that our usual pace but it has enough sustain and aggression to outlast opponents.
Episode 213 Wall Priest
March 03, 2019 22:44 - 1 hour - 74.9 MBEpisode 213 Wall Priest. This week we try one of the hottest decks in the meta. Wall priest can be really difficult for the opponent to get through with a lot of taunts and board clears. If that wasn’t enough, it has the ability to kill out of nowhere with the use of the divine spirit / topsy turvy or inner fire combo.
Episode 212 Odd Secret Mage
February 25, 2019 02:18 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBEpisode 212 Odd Secret Mage. This week we try a deck I’ve wanted to play on the show for a while. Secret Odd Mage splashed into the scene after the nerfs and it is a pretty effective aggressive deck.
Episode 211 Secret Paladin
February 17, 2019 18:39 - 1 hour - 16.8 MBEpisode 211 Secret Paladin. This week we try a deck suggested to us from long time listener Zer0Cruel. Secret Paladin has been around for as long as the game was released. We have both been playing to good success so we give it a spin.
