Menagerie deck

"The creatures must be saved."

A menagerie deck is a deck which specifically includes minions of different minion types to gain the benefits of cards that require multiple minion types to be efficient.

History

The menagerie deck was introduced with One Night in Karazhan, with the adventure adding the first cards to specifically reward the inclusion of multiple minion types in one deck.

The concept of synergy with multiple minion types was left unseen until The Witchwood, with the introduction of the Nightmare Amalgam, who had every type at once. Descent of Dragons released cards which let 2/3 of the iconic menagerie tribes interact with each other once more, with Tasty Flyfish and Skyfin being Murlocs with Dragon synergy, and Scalelord from Galakrond's Awakening being vice versa. Madness at the Darkmoon Faire had the new warrior cards Ringmaster Whatley and Ringmaster's Baton introduce a new menagerie combination of the Dragon, Mech and Pirate types, as well as some cards such as Tent Trasher and N'Zoth, God of the Deep supporting any combination of types.
