Frid is showing off his new mech shaman deck this week, which packs huge burst damage and some neat tricks that Mech Mages just can’t match. Which mech deck will come out on top? Let’s find out!

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.
Past Deck Battles
Hunter Beastmaster vs Warlock Swarm
Hunter Beastmaster vs Secret Mage
Hunter Beastmaster vs Muhammad Ali Shaman
Hunter Beastmaster vs Power Paladin
Hunter Beastmaster vs Barbarian Warrior
Barbarian Warrior vs Arcane Druid
Barbarian Warrior vs Survival Paladin
Survival Paladin vs. Last Standin Paladin
Survival Paladin vs. Mech Mage
Mech Mage vs. Paladin Tech
Defending Deck: Dan’s Mech Mage deck has reigned supreme for 1 month, and has beaten 1 deck before this episode.
Challenger Deck: Frid’s Mech Shaman is an aggressive deck that wins through crazy burst damage that can catch even the most prepared player off guard.
