I'm currently working on building a Horde team centered around Daelas Firewing (the 5-tick, 10-magic atk fire mage). He has been very good in certain situations and against epics I've played, however his 5 health and 5-tick cost make him a sitting duck once he fires off an attack.I tried keeping Aleyah Dawnborne close to serve as a meat shield for him until his turn could come back, but I found the problem quickly when I was AOE'd by Holy Nova causing the paladin to take 4 unpreventable damage with the flick of a card. Before you know it, all attacks are targeting the mage as a way to burn down the tank.
I rounded it off with a druid channeling tranquility to aid in staying alive, but that's only useful for so long.
Any thoughts?!?

Try Daelas with Soulseeker and Bracers of Nimble Thought. Morova and a beefy tank like Wilton Thorne make good allies.
ReplyDeleteDaelas with MotW next to Morova has an extremely good chance of 1 shotting almost every character in the game, and the bracers mean he only has 4 ticks of downtime.
The team can carry a flexible sideboard, taking out Mark of the Wild for Entangling Roots, taking out Bracers of Nimble thought for Ice Block, and possibly adding Bulwark of Azzinoth against teams heavy with melee. Sulfuras, Hand of Rag is a neat trick too.
Even though Daelas becomes 11 points, the entire team only costs 22 points; a palatable amount.
Out of 15 attacks with Daelas in this team, I've only failed to one shot a single Tyrande. Try out the team, one shotting is fun!
Wow, thanks for post. Very informative. I will give this a shot. I pulled Daelas during the Spectral Safari and downed a Tyrande with him, myself. :) I will give these options a shot. I like the idea of the bracers, and soulseeker is something I only just recently became familiar with. Come back and post anytime. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI tried the above team out today with Bulwark on Wilton Cost 22. It did good. I faced Tyrande, Eldril, and the new rouge with 2 range. Daelas one shotted every time he shot. though I didn't even need soulseeker as I hit all ten dice with crits every time (my dice were hot) I would still keep soulseeker on for when your dice are rolling average.
ReplyDeleteMorova really didn't contribute much. Mark of the wild helped and her initial starburst was ok but other than that the monkin didn't help this time. I'll have to try it again to be sure.
All in all I liked the team. One shotting people is a lot of fun.
i played a team with daelas recently. i packed him with mana potion and an ice block. my other two characters were omedus the punisher (soulseeker and shadowform) and morova (moonkin and mana potion). i based this team to make kills with one hit. if the opposing character has yet to be destroyed by daelas or omedus, morova can finish them off. the mana potion for daelas is to reduce his tick so that he'll be able to play the ice block. omedus packed with soulseeker and shadow form is pretty obvious.the mana potion for morova is for her to constantly attack every turn.
ReplyDeletethe team for me so far has been successful, and i hope it will be the same for you if you tried it out.
