BRBRRBRBRBRBRBRB - One of my favorite sounds in all of Hearthstone, the sound of Bloodlust! I bring to you guys a very cheap (only 1640 dust!), successful deck where you can hear the sweet sounds of this card (almost) every game!  So far, this deck has a 59% win rate up through rank 4 with 63 games played!  Strategy and mulligan below! 

 

Mulligan:

Generally pretty straightforward, you want to mulligan for your 1 and 2 drops.  Against classes with multiple board removals (Warrior, Priest, Mage) your deathrattle cards like Eggnapper, Harvest Golem, Scarab Egg are great keeps.  If you draw a Bloodlust or Storm Chaser in your opening hand I usually dont mulligan them away, but I'm not actively looking for them because chances are we will draw one by turn 5 anyway.  The only matchups I will not keep a Bloodlust or Storm Chaser against is other aggressive decks like tempo Rogue or even Shaman since you will need every card in hand to fight for board control.

 

Strategy:

With this deck, you always want to have 7 minions on the board by turn 5 to maximize your Bloodlust.  So getting in early chip damage is great if you have an open board but most of the time I'm going for trades to make sure that my minions are kept alive.  The decks that you want to be trading against at all times are even Shaman, tempo Rogue, Zoolock, etc. This deck actually has a lot of trading potential thanks to cards and combos like Dire Wolf Alpha / Flametongue Totem + Voltaic Burst or with all the tokens generated with Scarab Egg, Primalfin Totem, and Eggnapper.  Turn 5-7 is what separates the boys from men. These are the turns that you have to plan around board clears such as Deathstalker Rexxar, Dragon's Fury, Mass Hysteria, Brawl, etc. Going into these turns you want to have as many deathrattle minions on the board as possible so that after they use removal you will come back with a full board to be able to Bloodlust them for surprise burst damage the next turn!

 

-Edit-

Upgrades:

Honestly, this deck doesn't really need too many/any upgrades and fuctions very well as a cheap deck! If you were to replace some cards in this deck with more expensive cards some notable cards to add in are listed below.  Because this deck is more of an aggro style that wants to close out the game as fast as possible with your tokens + Bloodlust combo, you don't want to be making it too much of a midrange deck because you will soon run out of card advantage and tempo.  A lot of the 1-3 mana cost minions are irreplaceable because they provide such a strong board presence but the other 4-5 mana cost cards could be changed depending on how you want to close out the game (but not Bloodlust, that's the most important card!). 

Replacements:

Leeroy Jenkins - Fungalmancer

Thrall, Deathseer - Fungalmancer

Sea Giant - Fungalmancer

Electra Stormsurge - Harvest Golem

Unstable Evolution - Feral Spirit

Other possible inclusions: Microtech Controller, Replicating Menace

**Disclaimer** None of these substitutions are tested, merely just suggestions if you want to try them at your own risk!
