I made this Darkclaw deck as a complete joke, and took it to ladder for fun, I was veryt impressed by it and found out that it works surprisingly well against T1 'imba hero decks'
Basic Combo:
4x Big Teeth
3x Speed Strike
4x Lone Wolf
Late Game:
4x Regeneration
2x Full Moon
Board Control:
4x Rabid Bite
4x Now Your Mine
2x Captured Prey
4x Shriek of Vengence
4x Fire Snake
Finer points with this deck:
1) Darkclaw halves melee dmg to him, making him extremely annoying to deal with decks with creatures.
2) With Lone Wolf in play, he heals at 2 a turn, this doesnt seem much but combined with Darkclaw is amazing
3) Speedstrke + Teeth eats up armor n weapons by the opposing hero
This sounds like a real dumb deck with only fire snakes as its ally. But works extremely well, and in 4/6 games i have had, the opposing player simply Rage Quit after a while.
Why this deck works:
1) Ignores creature control: eg Curse, Icestorm, Captured Prey, Mind Control etc
2) Ignores hero control: Nishaven, Eladwin
3) Hero is very tank + Heals for free every turn
The idea behind it is to use the UNLIMITED teeth + speed strike to target the opponent hero directly, while tanking everything with Darkclaw's amazing passive + Lonewolf to heal
To counter low level allys: Now Your Mine is wonderful, esp vs Jasimine, Aldon, or Gargoyle
To counter high level allys: Rabid Bite makes them seriously annoying, esp on Ravin
It also chews through armor and weapons very fast, usually heros wont have the armor or weapon for more than a turn or two. (because you use your puny little 1 dmg teeth twice a turn). Vs Gwen and Amber, they dont deal much damage with weapons when they are not attacking, and eating up 2 of their weapon usage just annoys them.
In late game, if they manage to mass up a big army, thats when Capture Prey + Regen comes in handy, and when you need that additionaly turn to deal dmg + heal, Full Moon makes your hero invincible for one turn
Its super fun to play with, and its pretty fun when the opponent gets fed up with your Lonewolf + Darkclaw passive and just Rage Quits
Rage Quit Wolf!
