What's better than one meme?  A whole wagon full of 'em!  

I came up with the idea for this deck after reviewing that I enjoyed playing Big Priest, but wished other decks could do something similar.  After a lot of theorycrafting and some preliminary testing I've come up with this decklist!

Playstyle Overview and Combos

The decks purpose is to utilize Meat Wagon to pull Alarm-o-Bot in the same way as Big Priest utilizes Barnes to pull a 1/1 big minion.

Yes, we will be using Barnes as well in this deck.  What this does is gives us THREE minions to "combo" with where Big Priest only had 1.  1:10 chances for a turn 4 combo is better than 1:30.  Granted they are a different type of combo, but Alarm-o-Bot has the same general function we are looking for.

The difference is we can run lower curve minions since we aren't aiming to pull the juiciest minions all the time, just survive and outvalue our opponent.  To this effect we are running cards like Bolvar, Fireblood, Cairne Bloodhoof, and Stonehill Defender.

We are running multiple taunt/divine shield minons, because these are the highest value minions we can have alarm-o-bot pull.  Since minions still can't attack when pulled, they need to force the opponent to do something.  Taunt/Divine Shield minions can make opponents trade unfavorably, and they also protect the alarm-o-bot to continue to cheat out big minions.  

So you must be thinking: "Well what if someone guesses or assumes you are running 0 cost minions and just ignores Meat Wagon?"  That is why we run Blessing of Kings.  Blessing of Kings makes Meat Wagon now pull all of taunt/divine shield minions barring Tirion. (Sunwalkers, Pysch-o-Tron, Wickerflame, as well as Cairne and Blackguard)

Why Blackguard? Because it's a wagon of memes!  And he also combos very well with Ragnaros, Lightlord, Truesilver Champion, and Wickerflame Burnbristle.  

Last but certainly not least, we have Desperate Stand, the red-headed step-child of Redemption....or is it?  While it does cost 1 more, it is targeted, and allows us to trade minions in.  The best value targets for this are Wickerflame, Ragnaros Lightlord, Tirion, and Cairne Bloodhoof

Mulligans

Starting Hand includes: Meat Wagon.  Mulligan for: Big Minions, Truesilver Champion, Blessing of Kings.

Starting Hand includes: Alarm-o-Bot.  Mulligan for: Taunt Minions (non-stonehill), Truesilver Champion,  Meat Wagon.

Starting Hand includes: Stonehill Defender.  Mulligan for: Blessing of Kings, Truesilver Champion.

Remember, you are generally gonna want a weapon or one of the combo pieces early on.  Stonehill, while decent, is generally the worst in your starting hand as it's good value, but only a stalling tactic against aggro.
