I originally got the idea to build this deck from trying to make a deck around Spiteful Summoner, but it ended up having lots of other synergies as well. There’s handbuffs, some Corpsetaker synergy, a couple of elementals and of course support for the summoner.

Let’s go through all the cards and why they’re here:

Fire Fly: 1-drop that helps contest the early board, provides another target for handbuffs. Very solid card.

Righteous Protector: Also for getting on the board early, good against aggro, hard to remove.

Drygulch Jailor: Pretty slow card but gived targets for handbuffs which is nice.

Hydrologist: Decent body and a bit of value. Thinking of getting something a bit better for tempo here but haven't figured out what.

Grimestreet Outfitter: cheap handbuff card, all of the minions are great targets for this.

Benevolent Djinn: Deck is pretty greedy so heal makes it better vs aggro, elemental tag, good card to buff

Stonehill Defender: becomes much better when buffed, also gives more targets for buffs

Wickerflame Burnbristle: good against aggro, even better when buffed

Tar Creeper: great anti-aggro card, also benefits a lot from handbuffs and has an elemental tag

Chillblade Champion: good with handbuffs, heal and removal

Corpsetaker: Will almost always get taunt, divine shield and lifesteal, great handbuff target

Truesilver Champion: amazing multi-purpose weapon

Grimestreet Enforcer: handbuffs

Servant of Kalimos: elemental synergy

Spikeridged Steed: target for the summoner, just a great card

Spiteful Summoner: One of the core cards of the deck, great tempo swing especially if buffed

Sunkeeper Tarim: Excellent comeback card

Dinosize: target for Spiteful Summoner

Lay on Hands: target for summoner

Replacements:

If you don't have Wickerflame Burnbristle it's not worth running Corpsetakers either. It's pretty common to draw both Righteous Protectors and the Chillblade Champion before you draw your Corpsetakers, in which case you're stuck with a 4 mana [deck]ironfur grizzly[/deck]. I would replace these cards with 2x Tol'vir Stoneshaper and maybe another Benevolent Djinn.

Golakka Crawler is a nice card if you're seeing lots of aggro with pirates, Medivh, the Guardian if there's lots of control.

Mulligan:

Against aggro keep Fire Fly, Righteous Protector, Hydrologist, Wickerflame Burnbristle, Corpsetaker and Consecration. If you're running it, keep Tol'vir Stoneshaper.

Against control you're looking for handbuffs and draw. You can also try to be aggressive.
