The Legendary "WTF Did I Just Lose To?" Deck

Deck Information

This free deck has been fine-tuned to squeeze out wins against more expensive competition. There are two keys to winning with budget decks. First of all, focus on maximizing your chances of winning against the more favorable matchups and draws. Secondly, the deck needs to give the opponents (especially less skilled ones) plenty of chances to make mistakes. This budget deck was built and tuned based on those premises, giving you a good chance to outplay less skilled opponents or to win against favorable matchups or draws.

Most low-budget all-out aggro decks tends to stall if its opponent manages to stop the initial assault. While this deck is an aggro deck for the most part, there are combos in there which give its opponents many opportunities to make mistakes and lose the game after stopping the initial assault and establishing board control. This isn't a dump all cards as quickly as you can all-out aggro deck. It will take some time to figure out when to go all-out and when not to overextend and bait out mass removal then drop another small army to continue the attack.

Card Explanations

Elven Archer is superior to Stonetusk Boar after testing. There are plenty of other targets for Blessing of Kings in the deck already. Elven Archer simply provides better early trading, which is crucial to this deck.

Bluegill Warrior serves as pinpoint removal early on. Later, it can be a finisher target for Blessing of Kings if you lose board control, along with Wolfrider and Reckless Rocketeer.

Murloc Tidehunter, Razorfen Hunter, Raid Leader, Shattered Sun Cleric, Frostwolf Warlord, and Stormwind Champion provide the raw stat advantage from the various combos. They serve to overwhelm mass removal because even two of these along with hero summons can be a painful small army.

Blessing of Kings has many targets in this deck. It is like a 4-mana big creature with Charge during the initial assault. Later, it can be a finisher with one of the Charge minions from your hand if you lose board control.

Common Substitutions

You can make most of these substitutions piecemeal without changing the overall strategy of the deck. You can simply make the substitution as you get the cards. If you are actually going to spend dust to craft the cards, Cult Master and Ironbeak Owl ought to be your first targets. Cult Master probably makes more of a difference to this deck, but Ironbeak Owl is useful in more decks.

Ironbeak Owl replaces Elven Archer to provide more targeted ability neutralization. It is cheap enough to play from the hand to remove Taunt before a Charge minion or Blessing of Kings surprise attack. Young Dragonhawk is also a good replacement if you don't have Ironbeak Owl. However, I would only use one or the other instead of replacing the heavier combat minions with both, because that will reduce your crucial early trade power too much.

Amani Berserker replaces Acidic Swamp Ooze to provide more combat capability. It is preferred over Faerie Dragon because this deck does a lot of trades and you cannot target Faerie Dragon with Blessing of Kings.

Raging Worgen or Harvest Golem replaces Shattered Sun Cleric to provide more trading power.

Cult Master replaces Stormwind Champion to provide additional staying power. Hold off on casting this until you are ready to trade. Just before doing a big minion trade, cast it and go to town. This can easily decide a game as you wipe out most of your opponent's minions and draw 4+ cards. 

Epic Replacements

A common crafting strategy is to craft a single copy of an Epic instead of Commons/Rares, because, unless you are getting packs by the hundreds, the chances of you getting two copies of the same Epic is pretty astronomical. This way, you don't waste dust crafting cards you will later get from packs.

Big Game Hunter replaces Shattered Sun Cleric for big creature removal.

Lay on Hands replaces Stormwind Champion to provide more late-game power on health races against board control and burn decks.
