ZTC V - The Feedbomb Project

The purpose of this thread is to both share my new iteration of the Feedbomb archetype, as well as opening a dialogue for other interested deckbuilders to discuss suggestions and ideas about building a viable version(s) of the archetype for the v3.xx meta. Below is the quasi-tuned version with which I'm currently working.


1x Zaladar

4x Ironhide Karash
2x Feasterling
4x Infernal Gargoyle
2x Death Mage Thaddeus
3x Rampant Krygon
4x Armored Packbeast
3x Stardust Extractor

4x Mind Control
1x Energy Discharge
3x Feedback
2x Ley Line Nexus
1x Shriek of Vengeance
1x Soul Reaper
1x Mimic

3x Bad Santa
2x Sacrificial Lamb
2x Loom of Fate

3x Meat Wagon



Build summary:

21x Allies
5x Ally Control
3x Item Destruction
7x Draw Sources (10 total)
8x Miscellaneous

Total: 45 + hero = 46 cards

Enjoy

Man I feel old. Maybe I just don't remember your concept very well, so I apologize if my opinion (just looking at the list) does not fit the original vision.
And on a side note, whatever happened to shard/haste feedbomb?

Anyway..
Meat Wagon - Less than half the deck is allies? It feels kinda hit or miss early when another ally could come down, and not as useful late game. Then again, I've never been the strongest proponent of the card in the first place, so maybe I just don't know how to use it.

4x Packbeast - I suppose it could keep stuff like garg slightly more alive, but.. krygon has 1 toughness, anything damaging karash will kill it anyway, stardust reduces its toughness to draw.

Packbeasts are there to keep your life s few notches up as much or more than to heal your other allies. Feedbombing takes resources to execute. While you're getting your setup into place, You're doing well to keep a 1:1 card advantage with your opponent until you're ready to start the big power plays. To offset the early damage you'll take keeping the board in check.

However, allies like Gargoyle are meant to give your opponents something to chew on with more than one card's worth of damage. It's a slight tempo equalizer, especially played on turn 3. They are bolstered by the Packbeasts, as you said, and so they have that benefit, as well. Karash is there to try having some early board presence possible.

ZTC has always been about nicks and cuts damage to the opponent for the first 5-6 turns, getting them to maybe 50-70% of their starting health, and then flipping the board with a couple turns of Feedbombs and lock up your opponent's outs to win.

But you need draw to do that effectively, and there are better options for draw available now than there were in SE v1.5, when the deck was originally designed. Because of the varied and abundant means of drawing in the deck, I find Meatwagon to be very effective. However, I seldom play it as an early play, favoring to play it closer to the turns I'm going to starting Feedbombing. YMMV

wagon seems too inconsistent in this build
