This deck had gone through 3 major build changes with the previous two builds having around a 55% - 60% winrate. They suffered from a lack of efficient wave clear and were way too focused on cards like Light's Sorrow and Rallying Blade . This made the decks way too combo dependent for how slow the deck runs. With the latest build it focuses on tempo using Divine Shields rather then using them for cheeky combos. However Bolvar, Fireblood remains in the deck as he is by far the best 5 drop for the deck and can still reasonably get to around 7 attack, even by himself he becomes a 5 mana 3/7 after losing his shield which is still decent.

The basic strategy of the deck is to set up minions early game that stick on the board and give you a lead in tempo such as Righteous Protector , Stonehill Defender and Corpsetaker then using your late game cards to snowball and secure the advantage. Cards like Grimestreet Protector , Sunkeepeer Tarim and Bolvar, Fireblood Combo well with the early game setup such as Buffing a Righteous Protector and Wickerflame Burnbristle to 3/3's while setting the enemies minions to 3/3's allowing you to use the Divine Shields for great trades! Hydrologist and Stonehill Defender are your main early cards for setting up for mid-late game as you can get extra copies of some of your big late game minions from Stonehill Defender and secrets like Redemption and Getaway Kodo to keep recycling your minions to gain a hefty advantage.

Mulligan-

Against aggro decks: Go for Righteous Protector and Stonehill Defender above all else. If you have coin, Go for a Corpsetaker as well. Try not to keep Wickerflame Burnbristle as it is your only source of Life Steal for Corpsetaker .

Against midrange decks: Go for Hydrologist and Stonehill Defender . If you have coin, keep Truesilver Champion .

Against late game decks: Go for HydrologistStonehill Defender and CorpsetakerSkulking Geist is great to hold on to against Jade Druid!

Conclusion: This deck is a great aggro killer, Jade Druid killer and is able to fair well against most of the other decks in the meta. It is a bit reliant on having a decent early game hand and tends to lose to decks that have good late game control such as DK Warlock and Priest.

Any feedback is welcome as this is my first deck profile I have done on the site. Thanks for reading!
