Disclaimer: This deck is untested and a pure result oft some thinking. I have no access to the beta server, but please feel free to try it out and give some feedback.
Long story short: As the theme suggests, the idea of the deck is to haste and hide. Here are the cards followed by the long story!
***HERO***
Moonstalker
***Allies (19)***
4x Lightning Hunter
4x Ravager Zealot
3x Slingblade Demon
4x Bloodpack Shaman
4x Dread Wolf
***Abilities (14)***
4x Shadow Font
4x Sacrificial Lamb
4x Rain Delay
2x Ley Line Nexus
***Items (4)***
4x Dreadclaw Totem
***Armors (2)***
2x Wrath of the Forest
TOTAL: 39 cards + Hero
Long story: I want to make use of several hasted allies available now for shadow and wulven and to increase their chance of hitting twice a lot of hiding is nescessary! Haste becomes obvious when looking at the ally list. Hiding is possible via Moonstalker and Rain Delay. I will list some combos and outline card choices in the following.
Combo 1: Lightning Hunter, Ravager Zealot and Rain Delay
This is the theme play of the deck. Whenever you are not able to stealth, you can play a rain delay. To enable an attack in the next turn, RZ and LH can destroy the rain delay. If possible, go for the hero and hide again.
Combo 2: Sacrificial Lamb, Dreadclaw Totem and Wrath of the Forest
Sac an ally after he went for the hero, preferably Dread Wolf. You draw four cards and activate the totem that swings for four damage
Combo 3: Slingblade Demon, Any Ally
SBD, what a great card. Either return a hasted ally for a second swing or bring him to safety before an expected board whipe. You can also combo with the Bloodpack Shaman to bring back a Dread Wolf from the graveyard.
Some alternative card choices that went through my mind, can't really judge upon them without testing:
Twisted Familiar and Jewler's Dream would give the deck incredible resource accelleration. T2: TF T3: Shaman, TF attack and ability, Slingblade return TF, recast TF, T4: JD cast plus attack, TF ability, LH, attack with LH, TF, BS and SBD. Good luck with drawing this one though.
Krygon: Tuff choice to exclude him, got the boot for the shaman and the wulf as I thought the deck will be to weak in T2
Bloodmoon: I favor SL here as LH and Moonstalker's ability would be in the way most of the time
LLN is probably a must to overcome Ankle Breakers and pesty defending bows.
Finally, no ally control as I intend to rush for the hero and hide though shooting allies like PB and DMT might draw my attention
Anyway here goes my first post and deck, let me hear what you think of it!
