Perhaps instead of Leg Slash you could try Upper Claw?

Otherwise, congrats on topping with aggro. It's good to see that it's back =)

Just wondering Tag, how'd you get over only have 6 HS in game one before sandbagging into Zi Mei? I've been looking to build a 6Hser, but can't seem to find a way to play passed that handsize problem.

I think his handsize problem is solved by the fact that Astaroth loves being behind in building...

I sideboarded into Zi Mei one game, against Hanzo.  She's an emergency option where the usual slower build isn't an option because getting outsped means a quick loss, i.e. against HanzoKick.

No love for throwsauce? Crushing Embrace or Mighty Knee Strike?

He does have the Astasauce throw, Hades Destroyer.

I didn't think much of it when I saw tbh. How did it work out?

No one thinks much of Astafish since people just underestimate his use.

Seriously, look at him.  He abuses the fact that he has a 6 handsize so hard.

Well done Tag.  Just the kind of deck I expect from a great player such as yourself.

Hey Tag. Nice to see an astro deck getting in to top 8. I have a question for Hades Destroyer. As in how did it work out for you?. Like wafflecopter its a card that I think could work so good

it rarely comes for single digit damage.
