The point of this deck is to take board control with nice dmg spells in background. When you have advantage against your opponent on board, he needs to use more mana for destroying your minions than he wants to. Still try be only little ahead if you are facing Hunter rushers or etc. to avoid combos like Unleash the Hounds.

So always try to pick cards under 3 mana like Mana Wyrm / Armani bersker / Harvest Golem etc. You can make some nice combos with these cheap cards to take the board.

Against rushers, try to get a taunt creature out early or some taunt combos. Freeze your opponents with Frostbolt to stop their weapons and take the advantage, destroy their early combo cards etc. The objective is to put a lot of threats on the field to do some damage to your opponent and make him attack your minions.

I still try to do most damage to his hero to have ability to kill him with my spells in early and late game. You can abuse taunts etc. just take your opponent's hero to a small amount of health. With your minions, target only effective trades. Argent Commander is best for this. Use Fireball on your opponent if you can, save your taunt minions and he has to take damage from that minion again (by using a weapon) or react with 2 play's.

This deck is weak when you don't get great hand at start (one of 4-5 games), vs some legendary cards (you need really rush them) and sometime vs warriors (mass shield) / healers.

It's also great and playable deck with lower cards - you can also swap out [card]Faceless Manipulator[/card] for some Taunt cards at this mana cost and Pyroblast is a card great for rank 8+, it's not needed before.
