I heard a lot of people say Feln is dead. Being one of my favourite archtypes, i thought i'd give it a whirl again and was pleasantly surprised with how consistent it is.

Just curious why no rhindras choice or suffocate?
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37.4
I dropped Rindras for Cull the deck since most feln decks are way too reactive instead of taking the initiative yourself. Cull the deck helps transition you into mid game instead of having a Rindra's in hand sat waiting to kill a heart of the vault on turn 6.

Suffocate is an okay card but didn't fit the playstyle i was going for, i want to hit the mid game consistently and play the threats this deck has. Champion/Feast caller are mvp.

A little late to the party here, but just wa ted to take a second to give props to this list. I ran almost the exact list in the twirch prime event, had a 9-1 run. Totally bananas. 2nd run was 6-3, and sadly the 3rd run was 2-3, but that was still good enough for top 100.

What I like about this list is how consistent it is. Straight to business, doing what feln does best. No messing around with random copies of rain of frogs, setbacks, etc. Just the best removal, the best filtering and card draw, and the best creatures.

My changes were -1 cull the deck +1 dark return. I feel like champion of cunning is the entire reason to play this deck, it's so powerful and hard to deal with, I like having access to at least 2 copies of dark return.

I also cut 1 channel the tempest for an extra power. Personally I don't feel like feln needs 4, and it can be pretty clunky in this already power-hungry deck.

And finally I cut Azindel's Gift for Touch of the Umbren. Gift is bad for do many reasons. Doesn't interact with the board, face aegis, most markets have relic hate, etc. Even the matchups where it should be good (other control decks, the mirror) they can often just top deck a big threat and kill you anyways. Touch of the umbren just wins games on the spot. I've even won mirror matches bringing it in to steal something, just a huge 2 for 1, and it even gives charge to the unit you stole (even though it's not written) so huge tempo swing when you take a giant BSH that they're sitting safely behind. I had one game where my opponent merchanted for a Scourge of Frosthome, only to learn I had already preemptively grabbed Touch from my market! Talk about living the dream!

Anyways thanks again for the list, it rules

Just went 0-5 against all sorts of midrange decks. Just not enough removal/control.

I'm not all that much into control, but I play my own feln deck and have some success and fun on the ladder with it but who said that feln is dead??
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Many streamers/those in the eternal publics eye :)
Ynead Eternal Version: 1.37
Any replacement for Jotun ?
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Hmm, honestly he's pretty key. Maybe bloodcasters for now?
Ynead Eternal Version: 1.37
Yeah I guessed as much sadly :/ But I only have enough dust for either 4 Harbingers or 4 Jotun.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Damn, that's a tough choice. I do think Harbinger is the better card but i prefer Jotun myself. Goes in more decks. You could try the Echo Dragon too instead of Jotun. Nice threat.
Ynead Eternal Version: 1.37
I'm gonna try that, thanks :)
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
No worries dude, hope it works out for you ^^
BoyTorero Eternal Version: 1.37
I tried many decks combination, arch type but I still get back to this feln types of decks which made a success to me. it also brought me gold to master last month.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Congrats man, glad you liked it :)
Navillus Eternal Version: 1.37
I can attest, this deck is excellent. I know it's a short sample size but I easily climbed from Diamond 3 to Diamond 2 with only 1 loss. Deck is very consistent, interactive, and fun to pilot. Thank you HSgroot for sharing the list. :)
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
No problem man, glad you're enjoying :)
jcm3 Eternal Version: 1.37
How does the deck fair against charge rod/answer the call variants?
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Unless they high roll with the deck, it's perfectly fine. I don't think many decks can beat that deck if it high rolls though.
stoopyMcGee Eternal Version: 1.37
Good old fashioned feln control is nice, but have you janked with a BSH in the market and a Kyrex Coach Driver on the board? Consistent BSH with Deadly my man. It's like getting Ironthorn's Ultimate except on 6 instead of 134125.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
I've thought about it, with the yeti that pings for 3 across the board too but haven't actually threw anything together just yet haha. I imagine it's super fun though!
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.37
You might as well just put a witgering witch in the market, takes less setup and combines with hailstorm as well
svrQQ Edited Eternal Version: 1.37
Wait what kind of meta where you in where you don't need any copies of In Cold Blood?

Your market looks solid AF though and actually a lot better than most I've had with the blue merchant. Will definitely give this a go.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
I felt like the old kind of feln decks were stuck still playing 2/3 copies of icb in the main deck and to me it was really slow and did nothing to help you get through the early game in which feln struggles.
I found that one icb is enough to completely shut down a deck it's aimed towards as well. Main targets being Icaria/Tavrod/Makto. Only argument i could think of to main another would be to shut people off from the market but Gift does a pretty good job of this too.

Just my take on it anyway, i think the deck needs to be more focused on getting past the early since mid to late is where the deck shines.
svrQQ Eternal Version: 1.37
I guess the meta is less hostile then since yeah you DON'T want to actually run that many copies of ICB like you said it doesn't do much but permafrost was really bad just a week ago pre accelerated evolution nerf. The fact that your list runs 4 of them is a really good sign. I totally agree with you. What kind of decks were you facing on your climb? I was seeing very few decks with endurance units today oddly. Not sure what happened. Am taking this on a spin now after cheesing my way into Masters with Rakano Answer the Call.


I also like how many powers this list runs. Feln Control shouldn't be running 25 base powers.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Honestly all sorts. I found that a lot of people were running Zenatons feln list with the time splash and i think my record was about 8-0 vs that list. Fair bit of aggro, few people playing ManuS list of tps with the cleavers.
battlebeetle Eternal Version: 1.37
Absolutely hate this deck. So frustrating to play against. I feel like people playing this are trolling...Too bad it's so good.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
I imagine it is quite hard to play against since it's so controlling, haha. I feel like if you can pilot the early game well enough then it can beat pretty much any match up. Can't stress enough just how good Jotun is in the meta right now
rocketshot Eternal Version: 1.37
Very good deck and I am having great success with it.Thanks for the deck!
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
No problem man, glad you're enjoying :)
Melfice Eternal Version: 1.37
I love Feln control decks, and I think this version might be worth the stone to craft. I'm going to give it a try on the ladder I think :)
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
It's really consistent, cull the deck gives you something to do on turn 2 and fixes power so easily. Let me know how it turns out for you!
CorpT Eternal Version: 1.37
You really like 4x Channel? It hasn't been doing much for me.
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
Yeah, it helps out in a lot of matches. Games that end up in a battle of resources go in your favour due to this and it's a good win con too.
DaegeR Eternal Version: 1.37
thanks for this! i also loved feln!
hsgroot Eternal Version: 1.37
No problem dude, enjoy!
