Okay so this is my go at a Marsh Queen Deck, after I pulled it from a pack I really wanted it to be viable and I think I got pretty damn close. Will put up stats after a few votes. Remember this deck is very open to change, this is the best Marsh Queen in my opinion but I've been constantly making the deck better over the past day so it can probably improve.

Edit: - 1 Animal Companion & Alley Cat, + 1 Stonehill Defender and Hungry Crab
Edit 2: - 2 Raptor Hatchlings, + 2 Mistress of Mixtures

A lot of people have been talking smack, and that's fair but I've had pretty good lick with this deck and I know that I'll keep playing it. Maybe once I post a video you guys will get a better idea, this isn't a traditional hunter deck by any means you can take this deck into turn 15 or 20 and still win.

Card Choices:
Mandatory:
Alleycat - Great 1-drop
Fire Fly - Amazing in this deck, counts as 2 1-drops when you grab it, and takes up less space in this already tight deck
Fiery Bat - Adds a good deal of versatility and of course, is a 1 drop
The Marsh Queen - Duh
Coldlight Oracle - Absolutely necessary for card draw, which is how we win games, and the Hungry Crab synergy ain't too shabby. Also adds in another win condition, fatigue, because you'll never fatigue with this deck and forcing them to draw four is a pretty solid way to drive them to nothing. After busting a nut and holding your newborn child, the greatest feeling is watching cards burn because you dropped this guy.
Tol'vir Warden - I tried running this deck without Warden and honestly it was terrible, this grabs you your win condition and for some reason it's not a bad beater at 3/5
Tundra Rhino - Needed for one of your win conditions, drop Rhino and Brood on Broods for a solid 17 damage in 1 turn
Answers: (It's mostly against aggro)
Explosive Trap - Great anti-aggro, I used to run Eagle Horn Bow and this synergized well with that but taking that much face was not healthy
Grievious Bite - A relatively recent addition that I love, win rate shot up with this
Deadly Shot - With all the anti-aggro in this deck, it makes sense to include large removal. This card can literally win you the game alone.
Unleash the Hounds - Another anti-aggro card, combos well with animal companion if you get Leokk
Tech & Personal Choices: (Feel free to sub some of this stuff out if you want to edit the deck)
Hungry Crab - Pretty sick card, kills Warleaders and disrupts murloc tempo. It's not a dead draw because of cold light oracle. Ex. Rhino on board with oracle, attack with oracle, spawn crab with charge.
Elven Archer - Having a ping helps a lot, and again the 1-drop makes this deck go a lot faster
Raptor Hatchling - Not absolutely necessary but it adds another 1-drop to your deck with the death rattle and when you drop the 4/3 with Rhino it can end up being enough damage to win
Mistress of Mixtures - Tested it out, not a bad idea if you're a little low and need to buy time to get your combo off. Also a good turn 1 trader.
Tracking - Helps you grab your card draw or Rhino, I would put this under Mandatory but I could see some people running this deck without it. Albeit not an amazing deck, but a deck regardless.
Loot Hoarder - Novice Engineer is too slow, this one is less prone to Dirty Rat (Your worst fucking enemy) Also helps with the aggro win condition
Animal Companion - It can be pretty dope sometimes, two is far too clunky though
Yogg-Saron Hope's End - I fucking love this card. This guy alone is a win condition, running 11 spells means you can easily get 5 off on him and those 5 are enough to change the tide of the game completely.

Mulligan:
- The mulligan on this deck is generally pretty simple, go for your Loot HoarderTol'vir WardenColdlight Oracle, Tracking anything that lets you draw or pick up the cards you want
- Take all your 1 drops and shove them back in your deck, they'll keep coming to you regardless so don't hold on to them
- Keep your anti-aggro if you're going up against aggro (no shit, right?)
- Tundra Rhino generally is a solid keep since it's mandatory for your main win condition, but if you are going up against aggro and you have no answers then it might make sense to toss it back (you'll grab him again dw)

General Match-up:
Aggro: Answer their aggro with grievous bite, explosive trap, unleash, etc.
  Pirate Warrior: You might want to keep a few one drops to just trade, this is where firefly   really shines. Pretty bad matchup
  Token Druid: Same as pirate warrior except shy away from your one drops
  Pali Murloc: Run some hungry crabs if you feel like you're facing this deck a lot
Control/Out-Value: Honestly a solid match-up, controlling the board early is easy. When they need you to run out of steam just drop Brood after Brood and show them what real value is.
  Death Rattle Priest: They'll try and control the board but they'll be forced to use Warden   pretty early as you can get in a lot of damage in one turn, so that's a plus. If they make it   to n'zoth and you don't have yogg or a few brood in hand then it's probably game, so         the goal is to end the match before that.
  Any other Priest: They take crazy long to win and in many cases you can win the late         game, same mulligan as the general one.
  Quest Rogue is your greatest enemy, I have yet to learn how to consistently beat them
Any other deck is pretty much fair game, just follow the general mulligan guide.

Someone made a video playing the deck, check it out if you want. I'll probably make one later with more games.
