The Aggro Druid without BrM/LoE runs a Savage Combatant and a second Shade.

Does Sottle even play with these decks before posting them? This is yet another aggro deck that is completely dependent on getting lucky with your draws. And there's no draw power AT ALL so if you don't get a lucky break at the very beginning you're screwed.

Fel Reaver is not "misunderstood," it's trash. Guaranteed burn of at least 9 cards if its played without Innervate. About a third of your deck is just gone. In my case it seems to be a guaranteed way to lose both Force of Natures.

Do you post these crappy decks just to make it easier for you to win when you play against them?

Look at the opening paragraph, it says that sottie didn't make this deck himself.

Now a few paragraphs down, Sottie explains the strengths of Fel Reaver in this deck. And his points are valid. I think this may be a point of you just misplaying this deck a bit.​

I'm not sure how much did Sottle play with it, you should check him on Twitch if that bothers you. One thing i can tell you for sure, i reached legend with this deck quite easily. Do not expect for a deck to play by itself, you need to learn how to do it properly and yea, play alot

Yes, he does play with them. This deck was used by many people to reach legend with and has been marked by Tempo Storm as tier 1 deck.

 

You don't care about burning your cards because you will usually burn useless cards such as shredder, raptor or even your mum (yes, absolutely useless). You just go face, it deals 8 damage multiple times and can easily win you the game. Just go face.

decks really good, i get rekt by taunt though, belcher ect. i used keeper to remove a small minion, should i use hero power instead and hold keeper for silences?

It depends on your specific matchup. Generally, if you want to kill a minion and it is doable by using hore power, it is better to use it instead of using Keeper.

10/10

Honestly, just spectacular.

[Guest Big Fan]

This deck is top notch on ladder right now, but the shade/arcane golem kindy off the plase.
 May an argent horserider b better replasement 4 the shade than arcane golem? This one is really hard 2 deal with, and it removes annoying 3/2 minions and stays alive.

Well i just hit legendary rank with this dek. My win rate with this one was jst spectacular-whole legend run took only about 100 games (from 5 2 legend) . I favor this one against midrange secret paly (not anty agro+LOE version), entomb priest, tempo mage(jst a bit), and reno/lock/din etc, and even control warrior!! And those decks are actualy is the whole ladder right now. 

This deck considered as a tier 2 deck by manakost, but  addition of  Mounted Raptor and argent horse riders instead off shades really pushes its win rate far forward.

I'm actualy thinking about swaping leper gnome 4 worgen, becase this one can stay stealthed 4 a long time until it will find 3/2 creature 2 kill-it  cant b pinged down, cant b killed with haunted creeper, paladin recruter etc. as  Druid of the Saber does  and this stealth mechanik can really catch by surprise our opponent and allow us 2 trade as wee want. This ninja team works soo well.

I'm using this deck as well and am stuck around tier 4-5. May I ask how many argents are you using? Also do you have any other tips not mentioned in the article? Thanks!

I'm using only 1 argent instead of a shade (and worgens instead leper gnomes). 

But playing this deck is actually preatty deamn tough. Against agro decks i like 2 build a board, trade alot and i'm basikly playing this as midrange deck: removing oponents threat, plaing around board clears. This deck thou can also smork ur opponent preatty damn fast, so u should sometimes take a risc and push extra face damage if u ahead on tempo(trading tempo 4 face damage). This deck should carry you 2 the legend if ladder isn't infested with d*mn zoo, dragon priest and new miracle rogues.

  U should probably check some vods with this deck really 2 emprove ur performance.

Take a look at this one: 

 

Kolento really pushes this deck 2 the limit, and he explains alot of his plays.

I've been playing for a couple of years, honestly.  I don't understand this deck. I've watched videos, talked to people, etc...and I just hover around 15 - 12 with this thing.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.  It -seems- good, but I don't know, it just gets shut down a lot by other aggro decks.

Aggro is just hard to play well. You will need to practice a lot with it. Could be also unfavourable matchups (although the meta is favourable to some extent). You could also try watching streams, but not really sure when the videos didn't help you much.

Ok so i have to say this deck type is dead...just plain dead! Fel reaver is about useless for starters. I get about 1 shot with him per game maybe but i always lose at least 6 to 9 cards in the process of him dying the turn after i summoned him so i dont even get to use him. Also the rush thing is great if the person you are playing either doesnt have spells or does not have any taunts so yeah every other deck kills this. Now i admit i thought this deck was great last season i mean i got to rank 9 last season so yknow it did work. But this season i have lost 25 games in a row and gone down to freakin rank 20 i mean that is just a terrible deck. No drawability, No healing, No winning its as simple as that.  And honestly the deck was supposed to get me to legendary last season and i didnt even get close. Now im sorry but i consider that the site lying to my face. Here are the classes i never beat: Priest, Warlock, Paladin, and Druid...guess what... THATS ALL THE CLASSES EVERYONE ELSE IS IN RANKED!!! Most useless thing ever. I mean every time EVERY TIME i summon Fel reaver turn 1 agains warlock they use the spell where at the start of their next turn he dies so i get one hit ONE FREAKIN HIT! Unless they send in the freakin 1/3 taunt for 1 mana cost then i get nothing and lose 6 cards!

Educate yourself.

So i have tried and tried and tried and watched the video you gave me over and over again and i still cant get past rank 19 its just no matter how good a hand i get EVERYONE instakills everything I don't know what to do I am in such a rage cause this is pure stupidity I SHOULD NOT be having these problems. The biggest problem is no matter how fast i get someone down to 14 or less health they always have like 25 in healing in there hand or like 8 in healing and 13 in damage spells or something stupid like that. I just had a mage use 6 spells at 8 mana while i had just thrown out Fel reaver and then the final spell was entomb. I mean really stupid crap that like i mean what are you even supposed to do against decks like that. They are invicible at rank 19 RANK 19 that doesn't make any sense everyone at my rank should suck up till i get to like rank 10 then they should be equal with me not gods compared to me at rank 19. Please someone tell me what i'm doing wrong!

[Horn 20]

A MAGE at 8 Mana uses 6 spells, and one of them is ENTOMB? This means he had to get this via Spellslinger. Plus, there need to be several 1 Mana spells included (and even that requires that he had a sorcerer's apprentice out), probably, in this case some spare parts he generated earlier (so you should know he had those cheap spells). I would say that this is a) a very rare scenario and b ) the Fel Reaver was probably a misplay in that situation.

[batanete 28]

Do people still can't get around the fell reaver thing? Jesus.

 

It is 100% irrelevant that they burned you any number of cards from your deck if they don't fatigue you, other than the fact that they know you don't have them in hand(which admittedly can be awkward at times, but never so much so that you regret playing an 8/8 for 5 mana).

[keithbrwn0 0]

True it was rare I have not seen that happen often usually it is 2-4 spells but the point is for some reason I always get that kind of unlucky. I suppose i should wait till they have less cards in their hand than me before i play fel reaver but I never get that because they always have at least 4-6 more cards in their hand than me even though they have used cards every turn to counter everything I do. I loved this deck last season even though I only got to rank 9 and I was supposed to get to legendary with it. I will say I don't have all the legendaries that are part of this deck because I don't have much money and have had to get all my adventures via gold. I have half of naxxramas and all of the newest adventure but i havent even started on the dragon one. The sad thing is if that is the main problem and the only reason i don't win then this game is really really pay to win dependent and that is just depressing. Now don't get me wrong if i had money I would instantly get all the adventures like they were going out of style! At any rate can anyone suggest something I can do to improve what I have going. Cause I need to stop losing cause of lucky draws on the other side. Luck cannot be allowed to dictate over skill and a well made deck. 

[keithbrwn0 0]

rd or something like that c) because you could have happen to you what happened to me. I threw out fel reaver turn 3 against a paladin and he threw out a card that made fel reaver an 1/8 creatures instead of an 8/8 creature. Fel Reaver was made the death of my deck in an instant!

[keithbrwn0 0]

sorry it cut off the top of that sentence

[keithbrwn0 0]

what it said was the fact that fel reaver burns cards is incredibly relevant! because a) you could burn all the good cards needed to keep him alive or maybe clear taunt cards or things like that! b) Fel reaver can never ever beat a deck by himself no creature can there are too many ways to stop him or freeze him or deal damage to him equal to his atk and or something like that
