I'd be interested in this list if you have time. I've got both Ysera and Emeriss and have never been able to find much use for the latter in particular.


Sure.

Deck is basically just a control deck, and it's not super amazing or anything, but it goes about 50% winrate at rank 4.

Fair warning I actually haven't updated this list since witchwood, so I'm sure there's additions that should be made to it but....

Basically, uses secrets, flanking strike and candleshot to stay alive earlygame, and then switches to dragon synergy cards. Scaleworm, Wyrmguard, and Primordial Drake are generally straight up good cards.

My early iterations would have problems of still running out of cards, though (if I didn't run Rexxar), which is why I put in as much card generation as I could. 2x Stonehill Defender, Lich King, and Ysera.

Emeriss is honestly mostly there to sit in hand and activate dragons, but the doubling effect can be pretty relevant. (If you get a 7/22 taunt from doubling a Wyrmguard, then a taunt druid might be forced to suicide their whole board into that just to survive. And if you have a hand full of Zombeasts it can get pretty good).

Cobalt Scalebane should probably be replaced by one of those shiny new dragons, like the one with the aoe board clear. It's mostly there to be a dragon, although I will say that buffing the attack on Stonehill Defender so that it actually has a real statline is pretty good if it happens.

Some of the other dragon synergy cards should likely be added too; I've heard reports that they're pretty good.

The deck is...alright. I'm very close to 50% winrate with it on ladder, which unfortunately means it's not great for climbing; think I used it to get back up to rank 5 once, but usually other decks climb faster. Still a fun deck to pull out every once in a while. Don't think it will ever be meta, though, as doing things with Cube just has a much higher ceiling for lategame potential in hunter.
