You also have a pair of Hexes to remove anything troubling from the game ( Ancient of War, Twilight Drake, Flamewreathed Faceless, etc). Hopefully your midrange minions can net you the win before it gets to the point where you have to deploy either Rag or Al’Akir but they’re there if you need them. You also have Ragnaros hurling balls of fire. If you can time a turn 10 player of a Flametongue Totem with Al’Akir, that’s 10 damage that can go directly into your opponent (or their late game threats). With any luck, your opponent should be running out of steam.
Hold on to your Bloodmage Thalnos for a quick spellpower boost if you need it (and it can buff Lightning Storm as well). Use Jade Lightning to eliminate one of your opponent’s minions and bring one out in play for you. You should have a few of them coming into play now between the Jade weapons and Aya Blackpaw. In addition, Thing From Below should be cheap allowing you both to play it and another minion (or spell).ĭon’t forget about your Jade Golems. Meanwhile, your generation of hero power totems will always appear on the right of Flametongue. This ensures you have a steady stream of minions that can take advantage of the attack buff. Flametongue positioning matters here - By placing your minions from hand to Flametongue’s left, you can use them to attack into your opponent’s minions and trade. Barnes will spawn a guy to his immediate right. Your totems will always spawn to your right. In most cases, you want to place your bigger minions to the left. If you see opportunities to hero power out totems, do so because you want to continue to build up your board and (more importantly) set up for a low cost Thing From Below later in the game. Alternatively, playing Tunnel Trogg and protecting it with your weapon, hero power totems, or a spell will put you in a solid early position. If you have the pirate package, you can open with that and hopefully follow it up with a weapon. There are a few different looks available. Your first few turns are going to be crucial.
Even then, Northshire Cleric is a weak target for Jade Lightning. While this hand may look good, I can assure you it is absolutely useless as I can’t reliably do anything until the following turn. If you’re up against Pirate Warrior, Maelstrom Portal’s a definite keeper. Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem, and either of the Claws are also good choices. I’ve had a players concede early when I dropped a Buccaneer with Patches only to follow it up with Jade Claws next turn and they still had no response. Ideally, if you can start with a Buccaneer, you can start applying pressure early. You have a few options when you start playing. *sniffs* I had this midrange black green Magic: the Gathering deck during the Kamigawa/Mirrodin block with Solemn Simulacrums, Kokusho, the Evening Star, Death Cloud, and Sword of Fire and Ice. They won’t be able to effectively trade into your bigger minions if they don’t have any left. Lightning Storm, Hex, and Maelstrom Portal minimize any threats that enter the board while preserving yours. With Midrange Shaman, you play Barnes with the hope of catching Ragnaros or Al’Akir. While your opponent’s busy playing Pirates and dropping Frothing Berserker on turn 3, you’re rolling your eyes and slamming down Azure Drakes or Druid of the Claw on your turn 3. Midrange Druid is an example of accelerating into bigger minions with cards like Wild Growth, Innervate, and Jade Blossom. It starts with big, bomb threats and then fills the rest with some form of mana acceleration, stall cards, or defensive board clearing spells. A midrange deck doesn’t typically include many small minions. Eventually, your opponent will reach a point where they’re not able to effectively trade. Totem Golem and Thing From Below are great examples of this due to their low cost capability. Intrepid players will realize that bigger, fatter minions means it takes their opponent more than 1 or 2 smaller minions to neutralize them. As the match progresses, you continue summoning minions and those minions die until one player runs out of minions. In Hearthstone, players summon minions and attack while their opponents do the same. Take a few extra seconds and think about minion placement because that stuff matters especially with regards to totems and Barnes.īut first, I’ll provide a history of Midrange and what it exactly means. It isn’t as explosive as Aggro Shaman and playing this deck requires some extensive thought. We’re going to look at Midrange Shaman today. Shaman continues to be a top tier deck in both ladder and tournament play. Mean Streets of Gadgetzan gave it a few extra tools with the Jade Golems.
