ABOUT ME
I'm a multi-time Legend player and a 2800+ Gladiator Holy Paladin in WoW. Recently returned (in January) to Hearthstone after a giant break (about 2 years I think, stopped a bit after BrM was released and patron warrior was destroying everybody). I'll be streaming a lot of Hearthstone, Wow, and other card games such as Faeria and TES:L so if you're interested in that, check my stream out at http://twitch.tv/synpoo

GENERAL TIPS
- Dragon warrior is basically the definition of "curvestone". Focus on using mana efficiently.
- Faerie Dragon is primarily in the deck as a low-cost activator, try to avoid playing it on curve unless you really need the pressure.
- Against aggro decks you should be aiming to clear the board instead of developing and focus on starving them of resources. You can out value them easily.
MULLIGAN/MATCHUP GUIDE
GENERAL
Fiery War Axe, N'Zoth's First Mate, Sir Finley Mrrgglton. Alexstrasza's Champion are always instant keeps. Keep Southsea Deckhand if you have no 1-drop (NFM), and keep Twilight Guardian when on the coin or if you have a good curve (2 and 3 drop in hand). If you have two Alexstrasza's Champion in hand, keep a dragon as well. Keep one 3-drop off the coin, keep two on the coin.
About Sir Finley Mrrgglton:
Mage/Hunter > Druid > Everything else
Warlock depends, most of the time you shouldn't take it against aggro decks, it's almost always the pick against control though.
DRUID
Favoured: Look to keep a 3-drop, either Frothing Berserker or a Fierce Monkey, even Ravaging Ghoul works well against turn 1 Living Roots if you don't have the NFM to counter it. Look to out-tempo them and keep jamming minions onto the board and force them to keep removing minions. Look for valuable trades but when their jades start ramping really high you have to go face, you'll never win the value war late-game against druid. Holding a weapon charge to get through Ancient of War with Execute is very important here.
RENOMAGE
Favoured: They aren't able to deal with the constant amount of threats coming out of your hand. Keep flooding the board while playing around key AoE like Volcanic Potion. Setup a post-reno board, and you should be able to win very easily even after Reno Jackson hits. Drakonid Crusher is MVP here for baiting removal in preparation Ragnaros the Firelord. Go face a lot.
Didn't play a single tempo mage so I can't give tips against that.
PRIEST
Slightly Unfavoured: Pretty hard to out value them. Play around Kabal Talonpriest in the early game and Dragonfire Potion as best as possible. Hit face a lot when it gets to the mid-late game.
ROGUE
Slightly Favoured: Decent matchup for us as rogue runs little taunts (occasionally 1 Defender of Argus) and no heal. Play around Backstab and look to use Execute on a big Edwin VanCleef. Miracle feels a bit harder than Aggro rogue does just because Sap becomes a problem, and we have no way of interacting with Conceal.
SHAMAN
Favoured: Keep a 3 drop and look to coin it on turn 2 to play around Jade Lightning. Maelstrom Portal is ineffective against our minions most of the time so be wary of getting blown out by Lightning Storm. Flood the board after they used one AoE. Blackwing Corruptor is a valuable card for dealing with Flametongue Totem protected by taunts.
RENOLOCK
Favoured: The only effective AoE in the early-mid game they have is Shadowflame, Hellfire / Abyssal Enforcer and Demonwrath don't deal with our mid-game threats. Play around Shadowflame as much as possible while setting up lethal and activating your Drakonid Crusher.
WARRIOR
Favoured: Ravaging Ghoul absolutely crushes pirate warrior. A lot of the time it's correct to hold your 1-drop pirate to clear their 1 health pirates with ghoul instead. Remove pirates at all cost and then stabilize behind a wall of taunts; they'll never get through the plethora of taunt minions in this deck.
ENJOY! <3
Depends on the game state. Usually warlock>hunter>druid/mage imo
Also depends on matchup. Against most aggro I dislike taking life tap and really favor mage ping over everything just because it lets you control the board the best which is ultimately your goal against aggro decks. I'll update the guide shortly, thanks for pointing this out :)
Feels bad when u dont draw any drakes ^^
seems good to me tho tbh
This deck isnt good, this deck is absolutely insane! I reached legend in 1 hour from rank 3 4 stars with 13-1 record
Good to know that no matter what gets nerfed some jerk will always post a new deck that gives people with one brain cell the ability to oppress skilled and fun decks alike. Grats.
Climbed from rank 5 to rank 3 pretty easily. Hopefully I have the time to make it to legend before the reset. Great deck :)
Can you please write mulligan for hunter and paladin? Worst MU for me, best tier decks. Everyone is playing them and it makes me vomit
-1 Ravaging Ghoul +1 Deathwing , -1 Execute +1 Slam
very nice for climbing :) good job, this one better than the pirates
this is my gameplay climbed 2 ranks, 4 win streaks in 18 mins :)
first: jade rogue
second: midrange shaman
third: shaman again (left)
forth: pirate warrior

What can I replace Patches with in this deck?
Looks nice. Just a question... i dont have any [card]Twilight Guardian[/card], and as it is going to fade away TGT... do you know of any replacement, that i could put in the deck and still be almost as good as now?
Thx for all!
Rank 17 to 7 EZ with this deck !! Thanks big ! nice deck
Got legend on my 2nd account from rank 3 with 24-9 (73% win rate) . Dragon Priest worst match-up for me, but deck works well .
Yo! Thanks for posting. Performing my final push for legend with this. Currently 73% winrate! But i struggle with priests, any tips? 0-3 with this class
back to 3 rank, 0 stars, 0-9 with priests........
You do realize that almost every deck is basically another version of an old deck right?
He never claimed that he made a new archetype or it's a totally new deck. This is basically "his version" of Dragon Warrior. I guess now you should understand why people downvoted you right?
Here is how people read your comment: "Oh you came up with your own version of dragon warrior? Instead of saying that it works or doesn't work, or even ask a question. I'll tell you this: @#$% you for making a different version of an old deck like everyone else on hearthpwn. And !@#$ you guys who downvoted me for typing a useless comment that didn't add up anything."
Loving the deck, currently 75% Winrate with it. Got from Rank 10 to 5.
Ty for this shit. 6 losses - 1 win on 2 rank. Avtor oboscaniy petyh
I'm 17 rank to 7 with it lol sry for you
