The Hand-Ter-ded Deck

This is the deck I'm currently running. It has taken me from Rank 20 to Rank 17 then back to Rank 20 again. This deck is very versatile like that.

Playing This Deck

This deck plays a lot like Handlock but instead of the Warlock's useful Life Tap ability which synergizes well with this type of deck, you've got Steady Shot. So, you better get use to using it exclusively for your first three turns since there aren't any card draws to flood your hand, that's just cheating.

Tempo Disruption

Because of the setup, this deck does a great job in breaking the tempo of other players decks. Good players will often hold early cards anticipating strong counter play due to card hording. The amount of tempo disruption is proportional to the skill of your opponent. The better they are, the more likely they are to think you have a plan.

Early Game

The early game is spent trying to survive long enough to reach useful cards. I normally keep one Twilight Drake or Mountain Giant if I get them as well as Freezing Trap, Misdirection, Shieldbearer, and Multi-Shot are good for surviving the early game.

Mid-Game

If you're lucky, there won't be any mid-game and you'll get a Turn 4 Mountain Giant.

If that doesn't work, I usually drop Doomsayer on Turn 4. People like to play good cards when they have 4 mana, luckily we don't have that problem.

There are also a couple Earthen Ring Farseer's in the deck to heal you, but your opponent will still have lethal.

Late-Game

This deck does amazing* in the late game due to the stupidly overpowered number of legendaries. These cards will come as a great surprise to your opponent, given the quality of play up to this point.

Tough Matchups

This deck has trouble against decks with creatures in them.
