Yeah baby,this looks like a beast.what rating have you got outta this??

[Zhou86]

Rating in Test Server doesn't mean anything. It will only pair you up faster when queing in QMs.

[sadist007]

Oh yeah,forgot about that!!

The performance of this deck depends heavily on the match-up.

Its best match-up is heroes without means to directly damage Banebone and thus have to rely on allies, for example Moonstalker, Boris, Elementalis, priests.

Its worst match-up is solo or almost solo heroes, such as Darkclaw, Gwenneth, mill Zaladar and freeze mages.

Deck list in OP updated with 2x SeB to deal with mages better.

I still haven't found a way to deal with weapon based solo heroes. A couple of LLN just aren't enough. The best hope is to get SK loop going.

Maybe add in 4 acid jet? Take out 1 ally, 1 SeB, 1 PS/PA, 1 CW to make room.

This seems to be too few allies. BB is the hero that you really want to spam out allies because of WotF and that his abillity can't really kill on its own. Also he has an hard time to retake board back so keeping the pressure with allies will in the end be to much for the opponent.

Maybe its just me but I'm not a fan of Furrion Terror in a BB build because of what I said that he wants to spam allies. Maybe just me who thinks that tho...

If I'm wrong of what I've stated, just tell me

4 is way too much. That card is situational and against some matchups it's a dead draw really.

I think I'd go with MD or Oggy (or both) instead of Furrion Terror. Oggy has synergy with BB.

Thanks for posting. I've been enjoying testing this deck today.

Those who don't like FT are missing the point of this deck, I think. You really want to have a FT in hand for turn 5, because the lack of weenies makes it very important to be able to clear the board of the opponent's weenies. And this usually seems to require some combo of PA, DMT, Perfect Shot in turns 1-4, along with BB's ability and FT on t5. The FTs are a little more difficult to use later on in the matchup, but the Acolytes tend to survive FTs entry since they have 6 health, and the deck is not about keeping your side stacked in the early and midgame (endgame you'll want to reach som accumulation), but about keeping the enemy's board clear.

Also, I should mention that the FT helps to kill off your crippled allies prior to a Death Knight. This is moderately important since the deck only runs two sac lambs.

This deck, BTW, is a monster against some of the Boris builds circulating, and largely because of the Acolyte.

Unfortunately, AJ doesn't help in 2 of the toughest match-ups, Darkclaw's WBT and Gwenneth's SS, which are quite popular on the test server.
