In the dark alleyways behind The Happy Hearthstone Tavern, shrewd players whisper of an unconventional way to beat opponents: give them cards until they explode. It’s not a pretty way to die!
That’s the premise behind this super fun Mill Rogue deck from BradfordLee: Make your opponent draw so many cards that they eventually run out and die from fatigue damage! But can this dastardly tactic dethrone the unstoppable Warlock Demon Zoo deck, or is Andrew’s dangerous deck ready to tie the all-time record for longest win streak on the show?

What is a Deck Challenge?
Once a month, we ask a guest host to bring their favorite deck onto the show. They explain what cards they use, how it works, and why they like playing it.
Then, they put their decks to the test and do battle against the other host (who uses the defending champion deck) in a best-of-3-series, live on the show. If the challenger wins, their deck becomes the new Happy Hearthstone Deck Champion and will be used in the future until it’s beaten.
