So Vegas is almost here, completely, utterly, RIGHT HERE! What are you going to do with Tri-Faction madness staring you in the face? No more re-rolls with Bloodscale Wavecaller and Lady Vashj together! No Savin protecting Prophet Velen! And most importantly, NO CELENIAS FIREMANE TO GO WITH YOUR DROKKAR OF THE FOUR BOARS!!!! WHAT WILL YOU DO!?
Well, most people honestly will be playing Vashj. She's ridonkulous with a capital K... which of course stands for Killing Machine. Put her next to Savin and it's usually lights out all by themselves.
However, I wanted to share a team with you this week, which I think is just as powerful, if not potentially more poweful. I was able to see this team move in person, first hand, across the board from me at Gencon and it's ridiculously fun and still solid.
Now, first thing to note is this team does not let you tick Savin by one to use Kael'thas's Flamestrike. Since his Legendary card isn't an attack, it can't work that way. However, it is still ridiculous, if not ridonkulous. Kael works his magic with 2 tick 7 dice attacks that either bounce his protecting paladin to him, or keep Thangal in the way, or primely set up for a sneak attack in kitty cat form. He also drops 2 tick regular flamestrikes which is nuts. Meanwhile, there is that BOMB thing to worry about when it does come out.
Thangal offers the Prince rerolls, dps in Cat form, and healing that is almost guaranteed every tick when using Tranquility in the game. Miss your one die? Who cares when you are Thangal the Reroller!
Savin of course is there to protect and battery charge, and it doesn't hurt to see a 3 tick Starfire either! Additionally he has his healing and can pack Cleanse when needed.
It is an all around team, with already tough to kill pieces, that can beat Vashj in this format. I've seen it with my own eyes and no, no one got lucky. I wish everyone luck going to Vegas, I wish I was there with you. Feel free to post your thoughts here, what you may be taking or looking forward to playing against, or, as the weekend progresses, how things are going.
Best of luck!
