Hi!
Having a winrate over 70% always seems silly. Having a winrate of 85% is only possible because of small sample size and luck.
Now that you know that, here are screenshots from my Track-o-Bot for some proof:

I recommand any new players to this deck to check out Lothar's vods as he is playing this deck from rank 17-Legend on his stream, will be gold for mulligan and play advice! :)

A few days ago I got this deck idea from my friend Zorkthar, he got it from watching Tyler? And so on. This decks charm is its chance of creating insane high roll situations using cards as Barnes, Madam Goya and Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound.
The version I first saw of it used 2x Thing from Below, but I switched them to 1x Sunwalker and 1x Cairne Bloodhoof.
I wanted to increase the chance of rolling into a high value drop and not have too many "simple" drops that could hit our Barnes-Goya-Y'shaarj, rage unbound.
If we take a fast look at the deck we can see that we have a lot of AoE removal, mixed in with healing and card draw. So this deck goal is to survive until Mid-Late game, then we start to steamroll or just auto win on hitting an insane highroll!
Fun cards+combinations to think about:
Ancestral Spirit: Extremly strong in this kind of deck, but weak to cards like Hex and Sap, remember to play around those cards when you can.
Devolve: You probably already thought about this, but this is a great card to counter Finja's! Also to mess up Rogues hitting big Edwins or concealing Questing Adv / Gadgetzan, Finja, the Flying Star.
Lava Shock: Insanely good card to plan board clears around or Earth Elemental turns, use it and abuse it!
Far Sight: Card draw + cheaper minions or free spells, can be used for crazy tempo plays. Tho we have Lightning bolt / Devolve / Portal, which usually feel like a dead draw, but it's just 6/30 of our cards.
Barnes: You can be greedy and wait with Barnes until turn 6 to combo what ever he draws with a Ancestral Spirit!
Madam Goya: Try to have 1x totem alive at turn 5 to combo with her at turn 6, otherwise you will find yourself having to wait until turn 8.
*Note* Using Madam Goya on a totem can make your Y'Shaarj draw that totem later!
Y'Shaarj + Madam Goya: Can both draw you White Eyes 10/10 deathrattle with taunt The Storm Guardian
Hope you enjoy this deck and can have some fun in the meta before expansion hits, this deck isn't for everyone as it's very different to play.
Lothar played my version on stream today, he faced what is standard in the meta; Shamans, Warrior, Jade Druids and so on.
If you want to see some gameplay and mulligan advice then check out his vod, it's time stamped at when he starts playing it, enjoy!

If you're wondering whether Madam Goyais worth the craft, If you intend on playing Rogue when Un'goro drops Goya can be pretty useful and synergistic with the Quest so it looks like she has a purpose besides this kooky deck.
crafted goya, I'll let you know how it goes
I'm happy to report that I love this deck. Totally my play style. After feeling bummed out by all the aggro, it feels real good to play a control deck again (I used to CW all the time). This is a much different style though. It absolutely DESTROYS Jade Druid (which makes my heart happy). I feel like I have gotten a good enough grasp of the deck, that I am going to take it the ladder, and I'll report back about how it goes... Right now I'm at about a 65% winrate.
Looks fun, but I'm not sure if Madam Goya is worth the craft?
When did I say I was going to play it without Goya? I simply asked if it's worth Goya to play a deck like this. I have only seen Goya in action as part of a Goyan'zoth Druid deck.
anyone got 11k spare dust?
Nice one dude, good to see you still coming up with cool decks :)
Thanks Firbo! Feelsgood that people like it! Finally hearthpwn famous! ;)
No he is not, he hasn't been playing that much, but his goal is to hit legend with it. So the link is there to help out with Mulligan and gameplay advice for anyone interested in this deck.
Дека просто огонь,пират вар отлетает на ура ренолок сдается до 8 хода))) 6 боев 100% побед
Used google translate, awesome own those Pirate warriors!))))
I don't yet know how consistent it is, but it can destroy a Jade Druid, so it gets an upvote from me!
Well, i'm about 50 percent against them, so I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you're being too greedy.
2-0 with this deck atm, beating w/e that minion buff deck that plaladins, he eventually ran out of steam.. and against a pirate warrior, who decided to afk after i played a earth elemental/ancestral spirit. Both games around rank 2 so great deck
You don't always draw into the cards you need, as per any control deck, but it happens often enough. Shaman has tons of removal these days. When the deck does work, it can give a grizzled old Hearthstone veteran a case of the chuckles. Thanks for offering up a deck to frustrate the aggro kiddies with.
If you're at rank 2 you should play the same boring decks 98% of people play. When you get to legend you can reward yourself by playing a deck that is actually fun and interesting like this one.
You may be playing too conservatively, if you are used to aggro/tempo decks. Sometimes the right play is just to totem and let them either (a) overextend into your AOE board clear or (b) not overextend and let you get to the turns where you can play your big guns. If you try to take no damage in the early turns you'll likely use your board clears too early and leave them with too much firepower.
Hmm that's a very hard question to answer, the expansion will soon hit so just wait a bit! [card]Hallazeal the Ascended[/card] works great as a healing card, tho not as great when not combined with Elemental destruction, so there is a lot of combinations that will get messed up. No more Ragnaros/elemental destruction/healing wave/Ancestral knowledge. But they seem to push control this expansion, so maybe sacking healing waves and a bit AoE won't be a problem, instead we can be more greedy with value minions :)
I play a similar deck but with Hallazeal the Ascended for healing, perhaps I will try to swap one Earth Elemental for him.
for sure, but a taunt or sp totem can come in handy. Also, it's a huge tempo shift so I feel it's worth it in many cases.
