I have completed DJ Hakeem's new Deathrattle Deck, so if anyone wants to critique/tell me what an awful deck builder I am either IC or OOC, now's the time.
After learning some good information in the prologue battle, I saw a fundamentally flaw in a Hearthstone deck is that Creatures/Minions take damage every time they attack or defend themselves, while in other games they do not. The solution? Deathrattles. Now instead, "My minion has died without hurting the enemy, damn," the Deck has shifted to, "My minion has died without hurting the enemy which will now fuck up their next turn, cool."
In team battles, the Deck can support either the Beatdown or the Support Role. As a Beatdown deck, the Deathrattle cards can be aided by a Support Deck until the big late game cards can come out to finish off the opponent.
As a Support, this Deck can maintain Board Control and harass the enemy with an undying stream of Creatures while the Beatdown player/deck grows powerful enough to defeat the opponent.
Important cards include:
Hunter's Mark - Very good removal spell and can serve as a support card to deal with bulkier Creatures for my partner.
Feign Death - Obvious inclusion in a Deathrattle deck.
Sap & Freezing Trap - If an opponent is too aggressive early on, these cards ruin their tempo.
Edwin VanCleef - Either a tough early/mid-game body or can be a finisher card later on.
Unearthed Raptor - A mid-game beast designed to creature exponentially more problems for opponents.
Baron Riverdare - Like a supersized version of Unearthed Raptor. Literally doubles the power of all Deathrattle Creatures.
Faceless Manipulator - The most flexible card in the deck, the great thing about it is that it can become a powerful Creature, regardless if the target creature is an opponent's or a teammates? "You played a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon? Well now I have one too. Cool."
Shadowcaster - Easily underestimated. Effect is weird until you realize it's actually good to make additional weak Deathrattle cards.
Sylvanas Windrunner - If an opponent is not clever, they risk turning the tide of the whole Match to my team's favor.
N'Zoth, the Corruptor - Ridiculous card in this deck. It's technically not an insta-win, but it easily rivals Blightsteel Colossus and potentially is stronger than it.
