So far with this deck I have an 80% win rate. Although it's still early for me, I made it to rank 12 faster than I ever have before.

My logic with this deck is, whenever you see fit, dispatch enemy minions with weapons. There are a total of 6 weapons in this deck, I was running this deck with a Ancient Brewmaster for more weapons. ( To call back the Arathi Weaponsmith ) But I found that combo to be unreliable.

In the match ups I have had against Warlock Zoo, I have won. From what I've experienced this deck is viable to make it in the late game vs a paladin or druid.

Try it out and see for yourself. :D

 

EDIT: The higher I get in ranks the more common cards I need :)

This means that the deck is getting more expensive. I'm still trying to keep it as cheap as possible and there is some leeway here I think. HOWEVER, the most important card you need against decks with heavier legendaries is Faceless Manipulator.

I kind of want to explain a bit more on how I see Faceless "synergizing" with this deck. I mainly use it in order to protect the cards already on the board and the ones I intend to play next turn.

How do make Faceless good?

Against paladin: Tirion Fordring. He is the absolute best. If your opponent has him they will play him turn 8, it stops aggro in it's tracks.

Against Druid: Ancient of War. Again, if your opponent has it, they will play it using the health buff. I know, spending 5 mana that turn instead of trying to deal that 10 damage immediately will suck a bit. However! You will be surprised by how often you will have 7-10 damage on the board at all times, past turn 4-ish.

Against Warlock (zoo): Doomguard. You need to race any other aggro deck. So copying that Doom will help secure the win.

Some side notes: Most of you won't need to read this, but I just want to talk a bit about my play style. Whenever possible I kill enemy minions with weapons. I never trade minions for free. In fact that's why I have included several cards that benefit whenever you absolutely must trade. So set down a Cult Master right before you trade one or two minions. Or set down that Flesheating Ghoul and nom some attack points. OR another thing. There are several minions that allow you to trade up. Buff up a two drop and take out a possible 3 or 4 drop. ( That's some common stuff.. I know. But I want to lay it out there )

There is no built in "mulligan" card draw in here. You will need to create the opportunities to draw a card whenever the Master is in your hand.

I hope you have fun with this or learned something or whatever you came here for. I plan to update this as I keep progressing through the ranks. Thanks for reading. :D

 

Edit 2: Okay. So I might have been wrong about a couple things. Brawl has no place being in this deck. My logic behind it was that this deck is more about board control than it is aggression. But from what I've been experiencing, if I don't close out the game by turn 8 against a druid then it won't be possible to win.

Another later game card is Faceless, by turn 5 there really isn't anything good to actually copy, and as I said earlier you want to win as soon as possible.

So to replace both of these cards are two Argent Commanders. These guys are far more helpful than the two control cards.

Another change is the Frothing Berserker in exchange for the Flesheating Ghoul.

More changes to come and thanks again for reading.

 

Edit 3: Switched out a couple more cards. To make this deck super AGGRO. The changes are Stormwind Champion for a Dark Iron Dwarf. Also switched out Defender of Argus for a Mortal Strike. This quickens the pace of the deck ensuring that you will close out the game before the opponent can make it to the late game.

Thanks for all the views and upvotes. I love the response I'm getting for my first deck shared. You guys are great, enjoy! :D
