[Deck 1.3] Jerry's Nut House

[The Haydes]

Jerry’s Nut House is an ally centric deck. It is a straight forward build and is easy to play. It has gone 19 – 9 on the test server, so better than a 2 to 1 win:loss ratio.

Jerry’s Nut House (40 cards):

Hero:
1 x Jericho Spellbane

Allies (21):
4 x Puwen Bloodhelm
4 x Jasmine Rosecult
3 x Aldon the Brave
3 x Tainted Oracle
3 x Armored sandworm
2 x Earthen Protector
2 x Aeon Stormcaller

Abilities (12):
4 x Tidal Wave
4 x Focused Prayer
4 x Retreat

Items (6):
4 x Wizent’s Staff
2 x Kings Pride


Strategy:
Spam allies... Draw cards.... Timely board wipes… Doesn’t get much more basic than that.

Hero: The hero is really interchangeable between Jericho and Zhanna. I like Jericho in this deck b/c you will most likely spend all your shadow energy on card drawing with the staff. That leaves you with using your hero ability once per match and in that situation I would rather be able to destroy something than gaining 3 life. If lots of Eladwyn race decks pop up in 1.3, then Zhanna may become the better choice.

Allies:
Puwen: Early board control
Jasmine: Obvious in any human ally deck
Aldon: See Jasmine
Tainted Oracle: Card Draw… Turn 4 Oracle and Turn 5 Tidal Wave works well on occasion.
Armored Sandworm: Weapon Eater. Mine has been fed a steady diet of Dagger of Unmaking and Anklebreaker on the test server.
Earthen Protector: Synergy with Aeon (Credit: Combo originally posted under Zhannax)
Aeon: New ability makes him a beast

Abilities:
Tidal Wave: Timely Board Wipes
Focused Prayer: Pick the right item/ability (Dagger of Unmasking or Tome of Knowledge, Anklebreaker or Gravedigger’s Cloak)
Retreat: Should be included in all human decks as it is one of the best board control cards.

Items:
Wizent’s Staff: Draw Cards and poke the opposing hero with this stick
King’s Pride: Use as a tide turner or closer.

Good Luck!

This looks like every Jericho deck I have ever played against.

This looks like every Jericho deck I have ever played against.

Looks a lot like every Jericho deck I've ever made I usually leave out the Earthen but it's 90% the same. It's hard to go wrong w/ staple Priest cards!

Very traditional priest deck, But seems no interaction with the new update . As traditional as 1.27, isn't it?

[nygiant1997]

Yes, I agree that this is a traditional deck. However, I would rather prefer Zahanna as my hero so you can get a few heals in. I used the same deck but I tweaked it up a notch. I put 4 Healing Touch, 4 Priest of the Light, and took away 2 Puwen Bloodhelm just for more survability against mage decks so that they can't burst you down. You can try this out if you like

[nygiant1997]

Never sac Healing Touch, always use it on Zhanna and never on ally. However you can use your ability on your ally so that they focus on them and not your hero. Tainted Oracle is a very good card. Don't cast any important allies until you have at least casted 1 Tidal Wave. On turn 4 cast Tainted Oracle and turn 5 cast tidal wave. You will get 2 extra card from that and then you can cast your Aeon Stormcaller, Armored Sandworm, and Earthen Protector.
