RD Baduruu [SF]

Everyone's fav deck is back, Resource Destruction Baduruu! Yes, this is the deck with Night Prowler and all the other annoying things, updated just for Shattered Fates!

Hero (1)
1x Baduruu

Abilities/Items (27)
4x Here Be Monsters

4x Decoy Trap
4x Snare Trap

4x Cobraskin Wraps
4x Night Prowler
3x Soul Seeker
4x Grundler's Double

Allies (13)
3x Morbid Acolyte
3x Death Collector
3x Rampant Krygon
4x Woodland Spotter

41 cards


Going first
T1: Nothing
T2: Decoy Trap/Snare Trap
T3: Trap or Rampant Krygon/Death Collector/Morbid Acolyte (depending on matchup)
T4: Cobraskin Wraps :D
T5: Woodland Spotter + Grundler's Double (try to suicide your first ally so you can get to draw an extra card!)
T6: Night Prowler :D:D:D

Going second
T1: Nothing
T2: Decoy Trap/Snare Trap
T3: Here Be Monsters
T4: Woodland Spotter + Grundler's Double (kill their turn 3 drop)
T5: Night Prowler :D:D:D

When you run out of strategies just stall for time by continuously playing Here Be Monsters and Cobraskin Wraps, and waiting for a 5cc Night Prowler + Baduruu ability combo to steal cards (like their item destruction cards)

Time to watch all your opponents ragequit! (for replays check out test server ign: BP Lentan)

Looks very strong. Thanks for sharing!

I'm still heartbroken over the loss of Thoughtripper Cutlass... :(

RD Baduruu will survive though. Yours look good.

I've been running mine with pingers (DMT, Forstmare, Bone King). Once you get 3 Undeads in the graveyard, you basically have an infinite supply of ally (Bone King). His 2 ping works well with the bows too. DMT and Pony help taking the board when you get your first weapon out.

I also find The Perfect Shot to be very important. Otherwise, high health allies and damage reducters are a pain IMO.

I haven't really tried Decoy Trap in this build though. Could be interesting as a way to protect Nightprowler...

Dude, I binned my Baduruu deck immediately upon hearing about the nerf.

Even if it would be possible after that, it's definitely not possible to play the build I played and that's pretty much the only build I liked in the archetype.

I feel your pain, same here. I was actually building the deck IRL (minus the SF stuff obviously) and took it apart when I heard we don't have Cutlass anymore - stupid Gwen, spoiling things for poor Baduruu :(

Anyway, feedback for the deck. Looks to me like you have a few too many allies especially considering you have Grundler's double. Death Collector dies too easy, I don't like Spotter because you burn through your durability too fast and get left without a weapon. I would put Furrion Terrors in to help retake the board if you lose it. At the moment you have no way to deal with fatties so you need Poison Arrows and Perfect Shots - don't need Snare Traps because Baduruu doesn't give 2 shits about weenies. Also Emore Crossbow is worth looking into, it was made specially for Baduruu. Good luck with the deck!

Hmm I haven't needed Perfect Shot so far, because by the time my opponent gets any fatties out their hero is within killing range. I have considered adding Ricochet Trap but I can't find space.

As for ally choice, Death Collector, Morbid Acolyte and Rampant Krygon are really very good for dealing with certain strategies.

Death Collector is very good against defensive/stall strategies. It's a fast growing threat. It also gets rid of graveyard recursion.
Morbid Acolyte is to soak up damage and to shut down ally abilities like stealth/protector/damage reduction/etc.
Rampant Krygon has haste, acts kinda like a burn. It also makes your normally useless 0/6 Woodland Spotter into a less useless 1/5.

All three allies are pretty bad at regaining board, but RD Baduruu usually takes the board very early. If you lose the board with RD Baduruu you've basically lost the game.

The pinging idea with Bone King seems pretty good though, I faced it in one of my matchups and got saved thanks to MA's ability, but it was quite hard to deal with. But I can't imagine how it would fit into this deck unless I replace all my allies!

My Baduruu (which is somewhere on the forums) had the whole Bone King thing going for it but it pretty much required the Cutlass to be an effective deck.


Then again, I don't think RD Baduruu can be an effective deck without the Cutlass. A deck, sure, but not something that's going to be a threat in tournament play.

Just spent 5600 SC on SF card packs for the only reason to get 4x Decoy Trap. Looks like I'm not very lucky. However, the deck seems to be nice, going to test it.

You can find a players replay by searching for his IGN in the Challenge.

However, the game only keeps a player's last 30 games in memory and given that this thread is 3 months old (and from a different patch), I don't think you'll find anything in lentan's history.

That being said, RD Baduruu is commonly played so you might find some recent replays.

I'll shamelessly offer the three videos I did on the deck. :

Gwen is not stupid!!! >.<

@Lentan How has this deck been performing a few months down the road? I used to love RD Baduruu in DP.
