Intro:
Hi everyone, so the Happy Bois are back with another 'M3TABREAKER' but this time the deck is actually good and is less of a meme deck. It's made to climb from 5 --> Legend and beyond. It is pretty straight forward but don't let the decklist deceive you; it is very strong.
Proof:
We climbed from 5 to Rank 2 with a 77% Winrate over 30 games! That is madness, which included a 9 game winstreak.

Core of the deck:
Now lets address the elephant in the room, why Dinosize? The answer: Druid, the deck performs amazingly well against all other classes but lacks value against druid - who, usually, lacks silence!
The mulligan is pretty much the same against all classes as this is one of those decks whereby the perfect starting hand gets gross very very quickly for your opponent. Try and get either one of these two scenarios off:
#1: Turn 1 Secretkeeper, into Turn 2 Double Secret, into Turn 3 Hydrologist + Secret.
#2: Turn 1 Argent Squire, into turn 2 Righteous Protector + Redemption, into turn 3 Blood Knight for a very cheeky 9/9.
#3: Flappy Bird sMORC them until they break their keyboards.
Something interesting to note, this deck's secret keepers often get buffed by Hunter + Mage secrets and I've personally seen one get to 6/7, which is pretty strong for 1 mana.
EDIT: -1 Bellringer Sentry +1 Unidentified Maul - We were eating our secrets too quickly.
EDIT2: -1 Val'anyr -1 Argent Squire -1 Unidentified Maul , +1 Dinosize +2 Flappy Birds
Shameless Stream Promotion:
If you like this deck and see some success with it please leave an upvote and if you would like to watch my brother pilot it, he will be streaming solo tonight (as I am away) on:
We are a very new channel and would appreciate all the support in the world as be both love hearthstone, and have been playing for years now. #roadtoonesubscriber
Much love and good luck with the deck on ladder! Feedback is always welcome,
The Happy Bois
P.S Very important, this one is not fully original but is a tweak of Acramentar‘s take on NJambil's Secret Pali, we just took out a secret and added Val'anyr. So credits to him!
I'm enjoying this deck till they nerf Giggling Inventor.. Sad... LOL
I want to enjoy this but thus far, it's been a frustrating deck to handle.
Any views on how this should be piloted? I've been blown out by AOE shamen. Armoured to oblivion by druids and smashed down via aggro. I can't watch the author's Twitch as I believe it's been deleted.
I love it.
I started running this deck, then made my own edits to match my style. I am still pretty new to hearthstone, and obviously need to get better at playing the cards.
The biggest change I made to my version is I swapped out the knife jugglers x2 for x2 witches cauldron. The reason is I really find myself running out of cards. The secrets help keep it alive, and several of the secrets trigger trigger the cauldron proc. This means I keep my hand full of cards, and some of of these shaman spells make great additions to my deck.
It's awesome to hex that big target, or blow them up in other ways with my shammy spells. I have climbed to rank 13 now from 19.
I still lose constantly to tempo mage, taunt druid, and zoolock as well as several other common decks Ive seen like the 4/4 quest rogue. I think the problem is me, but also I find these decks too overwhelming. The worst is the tempo mage, which it seems like everyone plays constantly.
Doesn't work against zoo lock :/
As I have told you in some posts before, I used a similar deck to reach legend 4 seasons ago. Then things were more innocent and I managed to break rank 1 with 60% win rate just before Taunt druid became a thing. I loved the deck, and so i went on and gave it a shot again, inspired by your list.
Before the end of the month, I started at rank 3, climbing all the way up to rank 1 and failing to achieve the 5 star completion, since I pushed in the final day of the season and a losing streak got me to rank 2. So it was a positive climb, even winning Odd Warriors (Stonehills helped a lot in this matchup).
This season, I am already at rank 4 and enjoying the deck a lot. I've tweaked it to my likings, so I'll just share what I used during those two weeks.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to get re-hooked with one of my favorites. As I've been in Legend multiple times, I've stopped using Stats so i can't provide a specific report. I do know however that most of my losses were against Warlock (especially even) and Spreading plague that I tried battling by going tall with Blessing of Kings.
no Dinosize?
Haven't tried it yet.
This deck is really pulling it's weight. Got from rank 5 to 4 in just a few games. Beats Druids and mages. But does poorly against some aggro decks. It's also on hsreplay now. Check it for the mulligan guide. etc.

Thanks for sharing your deck. Very cool and has gotten me out of some sticky situations. Been watching your streams to learn how best to use it. If you can anytime soon you should stream some of your most recent version of this deck!
2 wins & 2 losses atm, but I don't have Dinosize and have replaced it for Val'anyr.
In one of the losses, if I had Dinosize instead of Val'anyr, I would have won. The opponent (Genn Warlock - as DK at the time) was on 4HP after I hit with Val'anyr. If, instead, I could've dinosized my 1/1 dude, I'd have won that turn.
Next turn, he nethered (2nd one) and healed himself. I didn't have enough left to come back after that.
Fun deck, though. I can see that i'll be better at it after some more games (and a deck tracker).
Is there a replacement for Tarim?
No- my friend - thank you. I really like your insights - I actually have a personal version of this deck that includes dinosize and has more secrets funnily enough - I like the idea of Tyrion! I'm going to try your changes too and possibly amend the deck.
Thanks!
Thank you for your thoughts. It's interesting to learn from your discussion with the Bois about the details of both your decks.
And, to all the legend players here... thanks for discussing with us earthlings, too ;-) ...not every working dad has the time to play up to legend. I've been playing hearthstone since year one, but have never gotten better than the lower 1-figure ranks, and now only play a few hours per month. So if the decks are good from, say, rank 20 to 5 or something, there's still a lot of people out there who have a lot of fun with them, so... thank you!
Any deck that can hit Rank 2 can hit legend - you should know that if you aren't a meme'r like me? ;)
Because, as you know, in this elitist site, only Legend-worthy decks are approved.
If you don't like the list, gtfo of the thread.
Any deck that can hit rank 5 can hit legend with enough persistence lol
I reached legend 3 seasons ago with a Secret Paladin using the same concept. That was before Autodefense matrix, and since then I didn't really played the concept.
Yesterday, I created your list, changing the Blood Knights for Stonehill Defenders. I had a nice run in rank 3, but not much that i can share.
I guess the nightmare matchup is Odd Warrior and anything with Spreading Plague, since you are not running Blessing of King so that you can go tall instead of Wide.
The blood knights are really important for tempo - I can't tell you how often you make a 6/6 early or a 9/9 ;ater, and it's even reactive to your opponents gigglings - give it a try? It's way more tempo than you think.
I will, when i craft them. If you manage to play them on curve, buffed, they are golden.
