Yeah, I didn't kill any of my opponents. All of them got tired of me removing everything and conceded. To be fair, I would've won all of them in fatigue anyways. You do have threats, though. The minions you've entombed and thoughtstole (sometimes). I haven't faced a Warrior yet.

Freeze Mage probably auto-wins this match (?), haven't played one of those either. Maybe Justicar and Flash Heal can out-heal their damage. I doubt it.

It's a deck that preaches non-violence. Blame Blizzard for the fact that you die from running out of cards, not the priest.

The only reason not to play this deck all the way to legend for me is that every game takes forever. I finally lost though. Doomhammer is pretty good, lol.

I see that Lifecoach has now adopted Sir Finley in his Druid.

He and I agree. You don't need to run an OTK version to have a viable AnyFin Can Happen deck. You often need the extra value Murloc Knight provides and the deck ends up being more consistent. You can play for OTK or pure value.

List Xzirez is running:

Kreme,

What are the priority hero power targets for Finley in that deck? Life tap, I'm assuming?

Murloc Knight and Anyfin are anti-synergy imo.

They are indeed anti-synergy but the point is you add murloc knight because the deck isn't only about OTK, but also surviving and winning games with quality cards.

I guess that is matchup dependent. I would, in a vacuum, rather have lifetap in most matchups.

The biggest reason why Sir Finley is in the deck is because the Paladin hero power is less useful in this deck archetype than in most builds. Having the ability to lifetap, ping, heal, etc. can be clutch in certain matchups.

You also aren't losing too much by substituting the body of sir finley for a second chow, as a 1/3 can kill a lot of aggressive early minions.

This.

If you watch alot of the streamers play the OTK version of the deck, you can see how weak they are making the deck by adding so much cycle, just so they can get enough murlocs for that OTK potential.

With Murloc Knight, you are generating value, early, instead of relying on getting to turn 15+ to generate the OTK combo. You run two spells in this deck, so generating murloc knights/blugills/random murlocs for the first spell is often getting value (and sometimes OTK) while the second spell is usually too overwhelming for your opponent to handle.

Bottomline, you create a stronger value deck with some OTK potential, instead of relying on pure OTK.

I think we can safely assume we are never ever going to get another murloc charge neutral.

Fire up first round of 4th adventure. Opponent has hero power "give each player a random card, it costs 0.

He goes first. His random 0 card is kel thuzad. He adds deathrattle to resume on minion after it dies.

Hmm, infinite kel thuzad, not bad. I concede before my first turn lol.

Trying out Elise Starseeker in warrior.

super fun.

Just fill your deck with removal and survivability, only a few threats. Just answer everything he plays, then when the time is right, monkey.

First time i did it I rend'd the opponent's ysera.

After getting my ass handed to me by Rafaam 3x in a row I constructed for him what I thought was the worst deck I'd ever seen in game, like if a blind person had drafted an arena deck. I still lost.

surely you can draft a deck with like no damage, a priest deck with all healing or something

My first go at Elise Fatigue Priest:

I beat Jaraxxus in fatigue. He also played Elise and pulled Kel'Thuzad, two Malornes and Reno. And he still died entirely to Fatigue damage. I don't think Ysera is needed but I couldn't think of anything else to put in
