Giants of the jungle. Giants of the Jungle
The jungles and forests of Earth have struck terror into the human race for many years. There's just something unsettling about not knowing what might be lurking behind the next tree. That didn't stop us from exploring them and finding the lost cities and the treasures they were rumored to hold. IN last years the world has become much smaller, since everything is mapped, and nothing can be hidden from satellites. However, the jungle still holds its secrets, as large expanses of the Earth remain unexplored, tribes remain undiscovered, creatures remain undocumented, and previously unseen things are hidden beneath its thick canopies.
Amazonian rings
Throughout the Brazilian Amazon you can find a series of ring-shaped ditches that predate the tropical forest. These structures remain a complete mystery, and archaeologists do not know what to say about them. It is believed that they served as earthen burial grounds or some kind of defensive structure, but no one knows for sure. Even more far-fetched is the theory that these are traces left by UFOs that once landed there before the forest appeared. They are similar to the Nazca geoglyphs in that there is no proven reason for their existence. It is believed that these rings were built by the first people to inhabit this area.
Another question is where primitive people got the tools to create them. There is no answer to this question, nor is there any evidence that tools sophisticated enough to create these rings existed at the time they were built.
Maricoxi
The Maricoxi are essentially Sasquatch. South America. They are reported to be huge, ape-like creatures that can grow up to 3.7 meters tall. Although they appear primitive, they are reportedly quite intelligent, able to use a bow and arrow, and even live in villages.
According to British explorer Colonel Percival H. Fawcett, who allegedly encountered the creatures while mapping the jungles of South America in 1914, they were extremely hairy and lived north of a tribe called the Maxubi. They could only moo and were hostile towards people. In his book Lost Roads, Lost Cities, the colonel tells how they were almost attacked by these animals as they approached their village. However, they were able to drive the animals away by shooting into the ground, sending them into a stampede.
In 1925, Fawcett disappeared along with all his men during an expedition to find the lost city. Some theories say they were killed by local tribes or starved to death. However, some believe that they were killed by Maricoxi, although this assumption is not supported by any evidence.
Sentinelese
The Sentinelese are the most isolated known tribe on Earth. They are native to the jungles of North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean and are thought to have lived there for 60,000 years. They rejected all attempts by the Western world to get close to them and were known to kill people who got too close. They speak an unknown language and drive off all exploration teams with arrows and spears.
It is estimated that there are no more than 500 people in the tribe, but they still manage to live very well, making metal tools and remaining apparently healthy. The real mystery is how this tribe was able to survive the 2004 tsunami that devastated many of the Andaman Islands. The tribe was considered dead because it lived right in the path of the tsunami. After the tsunami, the helicopter flew very low over the island, looking for signs of life that it didn't expect to find there. However, a Sentinelese man ran out of the jungle onto the shore with a spear, and with gestures demanded that the helicopter fly away.
It is incredible that while millions of civilized people were affected by the tsunami, the Sentinelese tribe managed to survive without any help at all from the outside world. How they did it will probably remain a mystery forever, since no one is going to get close to them in the foreseeable future.
Prehistoric stone balls
Scattered throughout the Costa Rican jungle are hundreds of these large stone spheres, which are believed to have been made by prehistoric people. For years they have puzzled scientists and archaeologists as to why they are there and how they were made. These spheres reach 2.4 meters in diameter and are almost perfectly round.
It has been suggested that they were made for religious purposes, but there is not enough evidence to support this theory. To this day, it remains a mystery why the stones are there, and how prehistoric people were able to give them this shape using their primitive tools. It is also a mystery how the stones climbed the hills and moved through the densely forested jungle. The resources required to make them could not be found many kilometers away from their locations, adding to the mystery.
Boiling River
In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon there is a river that kills everything that falls into it. Its water temperature can reach 93 degrees Celsius, and steam often rises from its surface. There is no confirmation as to the cause of this phenomenon, but it is hypothesized that the drilling company accidentally ruptured the geothermal system, releasing gases contained in the bowels of the Earth into the river.
Locals They believe that the river is a place of concentration of enormous spiritual power, and they often gather on its banks for chants and prayers. Just the story of this boiling river seems incredible, and its appearance must be breathtaking.
Lost City giants
In 2012, a lost city was discovered deep in the Ecuadorian jungle. However, this was definitely not an ordinary one. ancient city. It is known as the "Lost City of Giants".
The exploration team was accompanied by several local residents who were familiar with the area and were very confident of the city's existence. According to reports, upon arrival, the researchers found a complex of massive structures, the largest of which was an unusually shaped pyramid, 79 meters high and 79 meters wide. At the top of the pyramid was a flat, polished stone, which is believed to have been a sacrificial altar.
The size of these structures gives the city its name and leads many archaeologists to believe that it was indeed inhabited by giants, although many others are suspicious of this theory.
What makes this discovery even more unusual is not only the structures themselves, but also the tools and artifacts found there. According to reports, these tools were supposedly so large that people would not be able to use them. The team that discovered the city considers these instruments the most important evidence that giants walked the Earth in the distant past.
Stone head of Guatemala
In the 50s of the last century, a colossal stone head was discovered in the jungles of Guatemala. The head's face had unusual features, such as thin lips and a large nose, and was directed straight toward the sky. These features spoke of a person of Caucasian origin, which is not found in any work of art of that time, since there were no contacts with Caucasians then.
Several years after its initial discovery, it was found in a destroyed state by Oscar Padilla, Ph.D. and amateur ancient history. He claimed that the head was destroyed by anti-government rebels who used it as a target in shooting exercises. Recently, the creators remembered this stone head again documentary film"Mayan Revelations: 2012 and Beyond", which stated that it proves the existence of contacts between aliens and past civilizations.
During the filming of this documentary, a Guatemalan archaeologist was interviewed. He said: “I confirm that this monument does not represent any characteristics of the Maya, Nahuatl, Olmec or any other pre-Hispanic civilization. It was created by an extraordinary and superior civilization with amazing knowledge, the existence of which there is no evidence of on this planet.
The region where this head was found is known for stone heads, but none of them look like the one found by Padilla. This head has raised many questions as to how it got there and who exactly created it. We will probably never know the answers to these questions.
Disappearance of Michael Rockefeller
Michael Rockefeller, son of future US Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, mysteriously disappeared in 1961 while searching for tribal art in the jungles of New Guinea. The 23-year-old Harvard graduate was an avid researcher and loved to travel. During his expedition to collect art from different tribes, he visited the villages of 13 tribes.
During the expedition, Michael's boat capsized, as a result of which he and his partner Rene Wassing found themselves 16 kilometers from the shore. Rockefeller decided that he could swim to the mainland and get help. Here are his last words to Wassing: “I think I can do it.”
No one knows whether Michael made it to shore or not, but there are many theories. Some suggest that he drowned on his way to land, while another theory states that he made it to the mainland only to be mercilessly killed and eaten by the Asmat tribe. The Rockefeller family began an investigation into Michael's disappearance and stated that they had found nothing.
This secret is still talked about today, and many are inclined to believe that Michael reached land and fell into the hands of cannibals.
"Alien" in the Amazon Rainforest
In 2011, in the Brazilian region of Mamous, two British tourists accidentally filmed what looked like an alien creature. This creature was spotted in the background of a photograph by renowned paranormal author Michael Cohen.
Its shape is unlike any other life form known to mankind, but it appears humanoid. What makes this mystery even scarier is the fact that UFOs have been seen frequently in the area, with many thinking that aliens are interested in the area because of its biodiversity. The area was also the subject of a high-level investigation by the Brazilian government (Operation Prato), which sent the military there to detect an alien presence there. The government hid this operation for many years until it was finally declassified.
Since then, Michael Cohen has been approached by Hollywood producers for permission to use his evidence. The footage will be used in a future film.
In 2011, a group of researchers discovered the legendary Lost City of the Monkey God in the mosquito jungle of Honduras. The city is believed to have been abandoned by the Aztecs in 1520 after an outbreak of necrotizing fasciitis and has remained untouched since then. Residents of the city believed that it was cursed by the gods, who sent disasters to destroy them. The research team included Douglas Preston, a world-renowned author and explorer who wrote a book about his findings.
During the excavations of the city, researchers also encountered poisonous snakes that snuck into the camp at night. They miraculously managed to avoid terrible poisoning. The researchers took many artifacts with them and decided not to return to the city, considering it too dangerous, although they are sure that there are still many unsolved secrets hidden in it. Perhaps the ominous obstacles that the explorers had to face were attempts by the monkey god to take revenge on them for discovering the lost city. In any case, the city will probably keep its secrets for some time, remaining a real secret of the jungle.
Hello, dear readers of the site.
This article is intended for a slightly different readership of our project. It is for those who are tired of the competitive component of the game (or never liked it) and from the monotonous decks of the meta leaders. This article is for those who want to play adventurously and win beautifully and effectively. For those who love experiments and non-standard solutions. And finally, for those who want to relax and unwind a little in the game.
It is not difficult to guess that we are talking about fan decks. You are unlikely to be able to conquer the ladder with them, but this does not mean that everyone you meet will defeat you. Even though the decks are designed to be fun, they have a game plan and a way to win, even if it is often very strange. Do not forget that with the proper skill of the player, fan decks can bring a high percentage of wins, since few people know how to play against them correctly, and often your opponent will not guess what awaits him until it is too late.
This is the third release of Expedition to Un'Goro fan decks. You can find the previous ones by following these links:
Quest Druid
Animals, tasks and eggs
Like any other challenge, Jungle Behemoths were tried in Druid decks back in April. Everyone came to mind, of course, with Ramp Druid, who already had a lot of creatures with 5 or more attacks at his disposal. However, practice has shown that the Ramp Druid does not really need these Jungle Giants, they only hinder the mana acceleration at the start, and are too slow in themselves. Thus, the Jungle Giants were forgotten, recognizing this legendary task as one of the worst. This is probably true, but Senfglas is trying to make the Jungle Giants work.
His unusual deck Druid Quest designed to quickly complete a legendary task using cheap creatures with 5+ attack units. In addition, there is a fair amount of draw in it, so that after completing Jungle Giants you can quickly gain a tempo advantage from free creatures.
Druid Quest Deck
Replacement cards
Assembly Druid Quest by Senfglas is generally well balanced, and replacing most of the cards would lose the core concept of the deck. You can ditch Deathwing in favor of another dragon, such as the Primordial Drake, but the downside to this eighth drop is that it doesn't help you complete Jungle Behemoths. Despite this, Prehistoric Dragon looks decent in most Druid decks, as it provides the additional AoE effect the class lacks.
Mulligan
During the mulligan stage, look for Insight and Wild Growth first. You shouldn't always leave two copies of these cards; one will be enough. If you expect aggression from your opponent (Hunter, Warrior, Druid), keep Wrath in your hand, and with Coin or Wild Growth and Swipe.
If you have Insight and/or Wild Growth, you can think about third to fifth drops that you can field early enough.
The last point is the Giants of the Jungle themselves. If you're expecting an aggressive archetype, it's best to discard a Legendary objective from your starting hand. Otherwise you will need it.
Strategy
First you need to understand the problem itself. Its text states that you need to summon 5 creatures with 5 or more attack units, and not cast them. This means that both the Devilsaur Egg and the Twilight Summoner will perform Jungle Giants. However, another problem appears: both the Devilsaur Egg and many other creatures are weak until they die and the death rattle is activated. Therefore, the Mark of Y’Shaarj, Mark of the Wild and Defender of Argus appear in the assembly, which will turn any creature that is fixed on the table into a decent threat.
In the early game, you will hardly be able to impose a high tempo if you do not find Insight. On the first turn you will play the task, and then with only 3 mana crystals you will be able to pose the first threats, which, however, are still not so strong. Your game will begin only at the middle stage, which both Wild Growth and Insight will help the Druid to approach. Make profitable exchanges, try to gain a foothold on the table at any cost. Overall, this Quest Druid has a good mana curve, so when faced with the difficult choice of “what should I play?” you won't get up very often, most likely only with Insight in hand.
Do not forget that the Gift of Nature can be used not only for collection. This way you can approach the late stage of the game, in which you have good prospects. The Warden will get you a heavy dragon from the deck; it’s better to use the same Deathwing when your opponent runs out of resources, otherwise you may lose the game if your opponent still has an answer to a 12/12 creature.
Once you complete the objective and play Barnabus, you won't immediately have the opportunity to realize your tempo advantage, since only the creatures in your deck will become cheaper, which at best you will only draw one per turn. To correct this, the deck has a ton of draw, as mentioned earlier. Don't get carried away with playing your entire hand if your opponent can use some kind of AoE effect.
Quest Mage
The standard of a strange deck
About Mage's Quest You could already read the Un’Goro fan decks in the first issue; in addition, there was a large and detailed website dedicated to him. So what is this archetype doing here? The answer is simple - this build from Rage is so original, unusual and funny that it was simply impossible not to mention it in this series of articles.
Mage Quest Deck
Replacement cards
Of course, you can always take a more classic and traditional Quest Mage build, but the author of the article recommends that you still have faith in Rage and his deckbuilding skills. If you still want to change something, it is possible to take the second Tome of the Conspirator instead of the Chatty Book, as well as Blizzard, Volcanic Potion, Prehistoric Dragon and other cards.
Mulligan
In the mulligan stage against slow decks, look for Arcanologist, Sorcerer's Intelligence, Vashj'ir Oracle, Bloodthirsty Corsair, and Chatty Book. Of course, leave the Connecting Spiral in this case.
If you expect an aggressive opponent (Warrior, Hunter, Druid), reset the task and look for Bloodthirsty Corsair, Doomsayer, Chatty Book, Arcanologist, Emerald Queen.
Strategy
The first question you might ask is: what are all these weird cards (Emerald Queen, Mukla, Valley Storm, Pirate Eye, etc.) doing in this deck? The answer is simple: in the case of pirates, they help fight for the table, in the case of other cards, they synergize with the Overseer, firstly, and secondly, they themselves perform one of the important tasks. The same Emerald Queen is an excellent first drop against aggro decks, and the penalty with the increase in the cost of other creatures is not so terrible for Quest Mage. Mukla, Storm of the Valley will help you quickly and easily complete the legendary task, and the Vashj’ir Oracle was already present in most builds of the archetype.
So, your game plan is the same as the classic Quest Mage: complete the legendary task, play the Sorcerer's Apprentices, Lava Copies and Archmage Antonidas in two turns in a row. And then, with the help of one spell, get a free Fireball into your hand, which will bring you victory. You sort through the deck in the same way in search of the treasured combination, you defend in the same way from your opponent’s aggression with the help of creatures and spells, and you win in the same way.
The difference is that there have been some changes in the matter of deck busting and survival. You can compete for the table more effectively early in the game with your early drops. You can get several cards with the help of the Caretaker, who will also protect you from your opponent’s aggression. If you're faced with a fast deck, the hardest part is finding a way to win. You give up the idea of completing the task and making a combination, in return you receive more useful cards at the start of the game. All parts of the combination can be used at your discretion. In an ideal situation, you would pull off a Doomsayer + Frost Nova combo on turn six, then play Archmage Antonidas to an empty board. After which it is possible to use a Lava Copy on him and play the Sorcerer's Apprentices in order to deal a lot of explosive damage from his hand.
N'Zoth C'Thun Warrior
And then there's Heming
You've probably met C'Thun Warrior and N'Zoth Warrior, if not in the current meta, then before. These archetypes have not surprised anyone for a year now, but hybrid builds look very interesting. The author of this deck is Dog, he played with this C'Thun N'Zoth Warrior in the top 200 legends at the end of the April season.
N'Zoth C'Thun Warrior Deck
Substitutions
You can replace a lot of things. For example, you can remove the synergy of C’Thun or N’Zoth from the deck altogether, you can also remove Hunter Heming, but in order for this deck to work as Dog intended, most of the cards available in his assembly are needed. If you decide to make any substitutions, consider the Hunter Heming factor: will you want to destroy a specific card in the deck or will it be useful to complete the game? Most likely, there are no more effective cards for this deck for 4+ mana crystals, so all your replacements should cost 3 mana or less.
Mulligan
In the mulligan stage, look for Fire Axe, Caller of Evil, Treasure Collector, Slam, Champion of C'Thun, Rampage Ghoul. With the Coin of the Twilight Ancestor. Against aggro decks - Doomsayer, against control - Hunter Heming.
Strategy
The game plan for this unusual deck is generally simple. You play your minions on a mana curve, primarily trying to give your C'Thun 10 attack, neutralizing your opponents' threats with a ton of defensive tools. Overall, your game will not be much different from playing a classic C'Thun Warrior. Yes, you'll have a few Deathrattles to boot, but what really changes your strategy is Hunter Heming.
It is not necessary to win most matchups, in fact, sometimes it will even do more harm than good. But still, Hunter Heming is not useless. His job, as always, is to make your top decks strong. Indeed, after the battle cry of this creature, a maximum of 9 cards can come into your hand. Most of them are powerful creatures (don't forget about Direhorn Cubs, which shuffle Direhorns into the deck) that can put a lot of pressure on your opponent.
Thanks to the same Direhorn Cubs (and N'Zoth resurrecting them) and Doomcaller, you won't get tired so quickly even without most of the deck, and the pressure put on your opponent will be extremely high. In addition, you will have protective tools at your disposal: provocations, Brawl, a way to obtain armor or clear the table. The only important thing is that by the time you use Hunter Heming, your C'Thun has 10 attack units or that you can soon fulfill this condition with the help of cards from your hand or at least Doomcaller.
All decks with Hunter Heming are incredibly fun and interesting, this six brings great variety to the gameplay and makes the games non-standard. If you have Hunter Heming, be sure to try this C'Thun N'Zoth Warrior or other similar decks that you can read about in the upcoming fan deck releases.
Conclusion
The article presented three Un'Goro Expedition decks that will help you have a good time on the ladder or in a friendly duel. After trying them, you will remain in a great mood, and victories will give you special pleasure. You will be able to show your level of play in all its glory, and also surprise your opponent.
The editors of Manacost encourage you to make the ladder an interesting and diverse place from the very start of the new expansion with the help of fan decks.

Thank you for your attention, good luck in Un'Goro
Since the beginning of human history, jungles and forests have fascinated people. Who knows what wonders and horrors lurk in those shady depths of mangrove forests and verdant jungles? It is home to prehistoric beasts that still roam the rivers of the Amazon and treasures left behind by ancient civilizations. We now live in an era of rapid scientific advances, with new discoveries being made almost every day. The world seemed to become much smaller in size compared to the jungles, forests and deep waters that were imaged and scanned by satellites. However, we still do not know all the secrets that our planet is tearing away from us. Here are 10 interesting mysteries that scientists currently cannot solve.
Rings in the Amazon jungle
The Brazilian Amazon is filled with ancient ring-shaped ditches that were formed long before the advent of the jungle. This happened about a thousand years ago! Archaeologists still cannot understand who, why and why they were created. Some believe that they were used as ancient burial grounds, but there is no more convincing evidence for this theory. Others believe that these are traces of a UFO. Even the fact that they are similar to the Nazca Lines still does not help scientists figure out the origin of these ditches.
Maricoxi
South America has its own version of how it came to be big Foot with the name Maricoxi. These creatures look like huge monkeys, their height is about 3.7 meters. They appear primitive, but are quite intelligent and know how to use simple tools and weapons. The first encounter with Maricoxi took place in 1914, when Colonel Percival H. Fawcett, a British explorer, was exploring the jungles of South America. The creatures were extremely hostile and did nothing but grumble. Colonel Fawcett and his expedition had to fire cannons into the ground to scare off Maricoxi. In 1925, Fawcett and his expedition disappeared in search of the lost city. Many believe they starved to death or were killed by Maricoxi.
Sentinelese people
The Sentinelese tribe has lived on North Sentinel Island for over 60,000 years. These people are extremely unfriendly and reject all attempts to communicate with the civilized world. While their existence is a mystery in itself, scientists were truly shocked when local people survived the 2004 tsunami as many of the Andaman Islands were destroyed. The tribe followed exactly its own path! But as the helicopter flew over the island looking for survivors, a human guard ran out with a spear and shouted for the helicopter to leave. But how this tribe was able to survive remains a mystery!
Prehistoric stone balls
Hundreds of these huge stone boulders can be found throughout the Costa Rican jungle. Who left them there and why? Scientists still cannot understand how prehistoric people could create these perfectly formed balls and use only ancient tools. Moreover, how did they transport them through the jungle, through thick and dense trees? Some boulders reach 2.4 meters in diameter! This is one of the most perplexing jungle mysteries that still remain unsolved.
Boiling River
In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon there is a river that kills everything with its waters. Temperatures can rise to 93 degrees Celsius, making her driver uninhabitable. There is no information about the origin of this river, but some people believe that it happened after a mistake made by a drilling company that destroyed the geothermal system and released hot gases from the depths of the Earth directly into the river. Local residents consider this place sacred and often gather on the shores to perform rituals and simply sing songs.
Lost City of Giants
Back in 2012, an expedition went to Ecuador to find the lost city. Accompanied by a group of natives, the explorers actually found many massive structures, which were called the "Lost City of Giants." Along with the 79-meter-tall pyramids, they discovered many oversized tools that were too large for humans to use. Many are skeptical about these findings, but some scientists believe this is proof that giants once roamed the Earth.
Giant head in Guatemala
In the 1950s, the Guatemalan jungle “gave” archaeologists a huge stone head. Found by Dr. Oscar Padilla, the head looked straight to the sky, the face had Caucasian features (large nose and thin lips), which was impossible since there was no contact with Caucasian people in that area in those days. The head was later destroyed under strange circumstances, but archaeologists are absolutely sure that it was created by ancient civilizations. Hector E. Maggia, an expert from Guatemala, said the head does not have the characteristics of the Mayans or any other ancient civilization. It was definitely built by some very ancient civilization that we may not even know about!
Disappearance of Michael Rockefeller
Michael Rockefeller, a 23-year-old Harvard researcher, was fascinated by the travels and origins of the tribes. He disappeared in 1961 while traveling in the jungles of New Guinea. While Michael and his partner Rene Wassing were on the water, their boat capsized and they were submerged. Michael thought he could get to the mainland and swim 16 kilometers to the shore. His last words were: "I think I can do this." And that was the last time he was seen alive. Many believe that Michael Rockefeller drowned on his way to the shore, others think that he was eaten by cannibals of a tribe in New Guinea. In any case, his whereabouts still remain unknown.
Otherworldly objects in the Amazon forest
Back in 2011, a group of explorers stumbled upon the lost city of the apes. Hidden deep in the Honduran jungle of La Mosquitia, it was abandoned by the Aztecs over 500 years ago. A flesh-eating disease that was perceived as a curse has driven everyone out of the city, but what's even worse is the fact that the ancient plague is still alive! One of the explorers was Douglas Preston, a famous writer who even published a book about his adventures in the jungle. During the expedition, he and his team almost lost their faces! They had contracted a flesh-eating disease and needed immediate medical attention or their faces would turn into a big round ball. During the excavations, they were also attacked by poisonous snakes and ended up having to live in a city that contained many artifacts. It was too dangerous to continue my work! But a passionate person is not afraid to do what he loves!
Asian or African?
Elephants are the largest land animals in the world. They come in two types: African and Asian. Asian elephants, which are smaller in size than their African counterparts, live in the jungles of India. They are also distinguished by smaller ears, a rounded back and two bumps on the head.
Heavyweights.
Asian elephants can weigh up to eight tons and reach a height of 3.4 meters, i.e. twice the height of a human and 120 times heavier! Elephants are herbivores and can eat for 18 hours at a time, chewing up to 200 kilograms of grass, leaves, twigs and fruits.
Unique nose.
In fact, an elephant's trunk is a long nose and an upper lip at the same time, and 60,000 muscles give it flexibility. An elephant does many things with its trunk, but its most important purpose is to collect food. The elephant stretches out its trunk, wraps it around a twig and, tearing it off the tree, brings it to its mouth. And since the elephant’s trunk also has a nose, it sniffs everything before eating!
Water farmers.
Elephants also use their trunk to drink. They fill it with about 7 liters of water, fold the tip and, bringing the trunk to their mouth, pour all the water into it. Elephants can drink up to 160 liters of water per day! Little elephants suck on their trunks like babies suck on their fingers, and when they are frightened by something, they blow the whistle at the top of their trunks like a megaphone!
Scary tusks.
An elephant has two huge tusks - these are its teeth, with the help of which it feeds and defends itself. True, female Asian elephants do not have tusks at all. When an elephant needs to pick up an object, it places its tusks under it and clasps it with its trunk. Baby elephants first grow milk tusks, just like children have milk teeth, which fall out when the baby elephant turns one year old, and real ones grow in their place. Once upon a time, elephants were killed for their tusks, which were used to make beautiful jewelry.
