Ally-less Darkclaw

[Hlaoroo]

Hey all, looking for some feedback on a Darkclaw minus any allies. My current build looks something like this:

Darkclaw:

Bad Santa x4
What Big Teeth x4
Jewler's Dream x3
Speedstrike x4
Lone Wolf x4
Regeneration x4
Shadow Font x4
Shriek x4
Evil Ascendant x4
Captured Prey x4

The idea being to use Bad Santa partly as sac if necessary and as card draw, get a combo either WBT or JD into play with Speedstrike, and Lone Wolf. Regen to help recover, Shadow Font to boost hero ability, Shriek, Evil Ascendant, Captured Prey, Now You're Mine, and Rabid Bite to deal with opponent allies.

I feel like a damage defense could be helpful so perhaps Rain Delay. Another possibility would be Fangs of the Predator instead of Jewler's Dream as it would make for a more powerful combo with Darkclaw ability, though the obvious drawback is the 6 resource cost as opposed to 4 and the secondary ability isn't likely to be a factor as the goal is kill the hero over ally control with hero attacks. I've also considered Shriek to be a must have for just about any shadow deck, but in this case I'm not so sure. Any feedback would be great

Ally-less Darkclaw is pretty standard so there are actually quite a few examples in the forum to refer to:

The core cards that you are missing are Full moon (for invulnerability), Bazaar (so that your opponent would deck out faster and for draw) and Acid Jet (for armour destruction. Shriek doesn't do anything to most of the armour you have trouble with). Rain Delay too perhaps depending on what are the most common heroes you play against.

I have never seen a DarkClaw with Allies deck. I tried to build one but can never win a match. Anyone has success with it?

Yes. Darkclaw is actually really good with allies, only lacking proper draw as a downside but getting crazy resource acceleration and board control with his ability.

Crab soup is right

Drakkons lazy wolf is the best place to start

I was going to say something about hidden machine by code... but then i suddenly thought of The Butter Battle Book and was horrified by the potential consequences.

lol
is that his true name?

Awesome, thanks much! I guess I would've skipped over full moon or Acid Jet otherwise. Any thoughts on Jewler's dream vs. other alternatives like Sliver, Fangs, and uprooted tree?

I ran one like this...45 min games are not uncommon at all
