~Cards Needed and Alternatives for Them~

Idea:

I'm thinking about removing 1 x Questing Adventurer and adding 1 x Circle of Healing to combo with:

• Injured Blademaster
• Northshire Cleric
• Lightwarden
• Auchenai Soulpriest

Rares:

• 2 x Lightwarden Alternative: Argent Squire or Young Priestess can work the in early,but LW is better in late because it's an easy 3/2 and can get bigger every turn.
• 1 x Sunfury Protector Alternatives: Defender of Argus or Sen'jin Shieldmasta both come with taunts(Argus it's the better version of Sunfury),but hurt the mana curve a little.
• 1 x Wild Pyromancer Alternative: Knife Juggler can do some damage ,but it's not AoE. Pyro is in the deck to deal with early aggro ,divine shields and help with Nortshire and Gurubashi.
• 2 x Injured Blademaster This card is very hard to replace because it's the only minion in the game which is healable since summon.
• 1 x Mind Control Tech 2 Minions(3/3 + random) and removal of 1 card for 3 mana is probably the best deal in the game if the enemy has 4 minions.This card is hard to replace.If you have Sylvanas Windrunner it can work pretty much the same ,but it's silenceable.Cabal Shadow Priest can be a replacement too,but it steals only low damage minions.
• 1 x Questing Adventurer Alternative: Gurubashi Berserker The purpose of this card is to grow bigger and bigger ,just like Gurubashi or Lightwarden.
• 1 x Auchenai Soulpriest Alternative: This card is in the deck for bonus removal and damage.As you can see we don't have any CoH or Farseer,so we can replace it with other cards with removal : Shadow Madness or Cabal Shadow Priest

Uncommons:

• 2 x Thoughtsteal. This card is hard to replace ,but I guess you can do with Mind Vision too,but the card draw drops and you are limited to the cards in your enemy's hand.
• 1 x Spellbreaker. Our only silence in the deck.You can replace it with Ironbeak Owl ,but I don't recommend it .

Part. 2

~Deck Mechanics~

REMOVAL:

Single Target:

• 1 x Holy Smite . 
• 2 x Shadow Word: Pain
• 2 x Shadow Word: Death
• 1 x Mind Control Tech
• 1 x Auchenai Soulpriest
• 2 x Mind Control

AoE

• 1 x Wild Pyromancer
• 2 x Holy Nova

Other

• 1 x Acidic Swamp Ooze
• 1 x Spellbreaker

SELF-BUFFING MINIONS:

These guys are your "big creatures" and the core of the deck .If not dealt with properly they will become a nightmare for your enemy.The removal and your hero power will help you protect these guys and get them do the damage for you.

• 2 x Lightwarden
• 1 x Questing Adventurer
• 1 x Gurubashi Berserker

CARD DRAW:

 

• 2 x Power Word: Shield
• 2 x Thoughtsteal
• 2 x Northshire Cleric

Part. 3

~Mulligan Strategy.~

We have 7 minions with costs 1 or 2 and 3 spells for early removal (2 SW:P and HSmite) so we are looking for some of these 10 cards which should be pretty easy having ~33% chance per card.Our best start is getting Lightwarden in the first turn.Placing a Northshire Cleric in the first turns is also quite good ,but you should always have another one for the late game.If you already have a 1 or 2 drop ,keeping the Injured Blademaster is also good.Against Paladin,Warrior,Rogue and Shaman you should always look for Acidic Swamp Ooze to remove their weapons.Against aggro decks you should try to get Wild Pyromancer or Sunfury Protector.

Part.4

~General Strategy~(I will keep updating this section when needed)

This deck has a lot of single target removal so we are going to fight hard for early board control and that's where our 7 early drops come in .Our hero power helps to raise the value of every card and lets us trade.For lategame we have the most powerful counterplay in the game : Mind Control and some cheap removal too with Shadow Word: Death and also Thoughtsteal(This card is good for late because it gives your deck 4 more cards-34 total . I will list some "combos" we can do.

1. Wild Pyromancer + Coin + Power Word: Shield = 2 AoE damage.
2. If your opponent doesn't play anything in turn 2 (this happens quite a lot) you can do this : Turn 1 : Lightwarden , Turn 2 : attack with LW and heal your enemy  or Turn 1 : LW,coin and Northshire Cleric , Turn 2 : attack with Cleric ,heal opp and attack with LW.
3. Spell + Holy Nova when you have Pyromancer and Northshire for good cardraw and 4 AoE damage.
4. Northshire + Injured Blademaster + Hero Power for card draw.
5. Auchenai Soulpriest after turn 6 so you can hero power for damage too,before then you can't do much because there is no Circle of Healing in the deck .
6. Lightwarden + Holy Nova . Better: Lightwarden+Wild Pyromancer + Power Word: Shield + Holy Nova
7. Questing Adventurer + Power Word: Shield + Shadow Word: Pain . This is Dennis move ,don't do this.I was just checking if you are paying attention :D .
