Senfglas made it to number 1 legend on EU from rank 10 in 3 days on stream. He was undefeated from rank 10 to 5. This deck is insanely good against priests and cubelocks. All you gotta do is SMOrc, because everybody knows that the face is the place.
If you guys have any questions about the deck, mulligan's and replacement please ask in the comments section and leave an up vote as it greatly helps.
As promised, here is the deck guide. Sorry to keep you guys waiting for a couple of days.
+10 upvotes= Mulligan guide
The mulligan strategy in this deck is very simple: keep your one drops, except for patches and southsea deckhand; consider keeping southsea deckhand; keep crackling razormaw if you have a dire mole or an alleycat, otherwise only keep it if helps you curve out well; and always keep corridor creeper, only keep double corridor creeper if you go second or have a 1 drop or double 3 drop. NEVER SHOULD YOU EVER KEEP Patches the Pirate, Leeroy Jenkins OR Kill Command in your starting hands. Only time you keep Spellbreaker is if you have an insanely THICC curvy hand AND you are playing against control warlock. Only keep tundra rhino versus priests if you are on the coin and you have double corridor creeper. Only keep houndmaster with a good curve. Always try to get a good curve.
VS Druids:
Keep 1 drops like alleycat and diremole. Keep a corridor creeper, or two if you go second or have a good hand. Keep southsea captain and/or animal companion on coin or with a good hand. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve. Keep Bittertide Hydra with a good hand or on the coin.
VS Hunters:
You can keep any one drop if it seems fitting. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve. Keep southsea captain and or animal companion on the coin or on a good curve. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the curve.
VS Mages:
Keep alleycat and diremole. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep a single corridor creeper, or two if on the coin or with a good curve. Keep candleshot with southsea captain. Keep southsea captain, eaglehorn bow or animal companion on the coin or with a good curve. If you draw all 3 in mulligan with coin, only keep 2 (always eaglehorn, though, unless if its captain plus candleshot).
VS Paladins:
Keep all one drops, except for patches and southsea deckhand. Only keep southsea deck hand with a good hand. Keep all corridor creepers. Keep 3 drops on coin, except for eaglehorn bow unless it's befitting your hand.
VS Priests:
Keep all one drops, except for candleshot unless you have a southsea deckhand. Keep one corridor creeper, or two with a good hand. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep double 3 drop on coin. Keep a bittertide hydra with a good hand or on the coin. Only keep tundra rhino if your on the coin and you have double corridor creeper.
VS Rogues:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand. Keep double 3 drops on the coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the coin.
VS Shamans:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand. Keep double 3 drops on the coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or the coin. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve.
VS Warlocks:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand, unless it curves out well. Keep crackling razormaw with a 1 drop. Keep double 3 drop on the coin. Keep spellbreaker only if you have an insane curve. Keep a corridor creeper or two, on the coin or with a good hand.
VS Warriors:
Keep all one drops except for candleshot and southsea deckhand, unless you have them together. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep double three drops on coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the coin.
+20 upvotes= Matchups and replacements
This deck is absolutely NUTS against control decks such as Cubelock and Highlander Priests and it crushes all priest archetypes. It struggles against aggressive decks, on the other end. However, if piloted efficiently, it can be great against tempo and semi-aggressive decks too!
If you want to replace Leeroy Jenkins, I'd recommend a reckless racketeer because of they share a similar purpose. If you don't have patches, I'd cut 2x Southsea deckhand and 2x Southsea Captain with it, because the only reason pirates are played in all tempo/aggro/face decks is Patches. You can substitute the pirate package for 2x knife juggler, 2x unleash the hounds and 1x wolfrider. If you want to replace the Bittertide hydras, I'd recommend cutting 1x Tundra Rhino and 1x spellbreaker alongside it to be able to add 2x knife juggler and 2x unleash the hounds.

To perform better against aggro, you can remove 2x bittertide hydra, 1x spellbreaker and 1x tundra rhino for 2x knife juggler and 2x unleash the Hounds, but only at the cost of making your control match ups slightly worst. Some Highlander priests now run a single copy of greater healing potion in addition to the binding heal due to the sudden rise of face hunters once again, so you might have to manage your resources slightly more efficiently against them.

Oh, so this is where all the worst people of Hearthstone has gathered.
That's not really cool to judge other people on spelling mistakes. There are a lot of non-english speakers on this site (like me) so I don't think it makes a good criteria.
Moreover, Nashrow makes a good point with his comment, that's a thing you can't deny. And some people like to play aggro deck for some reasons. It's fast, you don't have to be stay focused (after work I'm usually too tired to tryhard a control deck for more than 5 games), it counters the greedy decks, etc etc...
Your comment was inappropriate and based on personal conviction. I want to remind you that the comment section is for discussing on the deck, not insulting other players. Thanks.
Insulting? My correction was an insult? If that's what you think, then do you value other forms of enlightenment as insulting aswell?
I'm not one either, and my observation still stands.. Which is obviously quite logical as this appeals to those who are "too tired to tryhard" or have other difficulties.
Not one bit appropriate. It only is if my observation is proved wrong. I'd be happy if it was. Personal conviction? Of course not. No emotions involved, simply a matter of principle.
r/iamverysmart
Yeah right, not an insult: "The neanderthal and the other player trying to prevent the mindless horde being thrown onto the board.".
According to you, aggro players are similar to prehistoric men, which definitely sounds like a compliment :)
I never said that your correction was and insult, don't make me say what I didn't. But it is pretentious to judge on mistakes and to assume that all aggro players are bad at writing, as I already told you.
And sorry but not every player wants to tryhard, this is a FUN game before everything else.
The only point where you was right is about the description, it totally sucks haha, can't deny.
Anyway, I don't want to debate on that, if you can't admit that your comment was inappropriate then the discussion is over. Not here to waste my time but to discuss about the deck.
AD personam? Srsly? LUL
As I said before to other people that think like you, you hate this type of deck? Counter it. I was playing a fun midrange hunter, got sick of cubelocks and razakus, decided to go full aggro. Some people like to play fast games, not stall a game for 20 minutes to lose anyway to a control - combo deck. I don't have less of a brain than you or anyone else, I like what I like and that's it.
Trading skill with huffer, hydra and leeroy LUL. You need to think hard sometimes to make good board clear with defile. But who cares, just drop 0 mana 5/5 after that and you're fine.
This good Smunter
SMOrc
as all face tard decks it is really borring and brainless deck to play ...
Any replacement for Patches?
How have you not crafted patches yet? It has been THE meta defining card since gadgetzan
Yep, even though I generally don't like playing aggro, I still crafted Patches.
Well, I'm somewhat a newbie, and didn't think it was worth crafting him since he'll be rotating soon. I'm rethinking, and I'd probably end up crafting him soon, but that was my case.
Now it's maybe too late, only worth it if you really like playing aggro.
Hello everyone!
I always liked face hunter and I am glad that there is a solid list to play. I recorded a few games which you can see in the video bellow.
The first game was against spitefull summoner priest where is really good that they dont have that many removals expect the MC and Duskbreaker. Animal companion for the ez lethal! The second game is against aggro paladin.. he did not have really a chance since I dropped creeper on the board I feel. Sweet lethal in the end. Third one against tempo rogue - we both drew patches so it was fair match.. only I got two other important cards :D.
I hope you can enjoy the video and have a nice day! :)
Not working right now for me. was crushing ladder. Now ppl tech against it or something
My favorite archetype to play on the go ! Face is the place :)
I agree,this deck is good vs priests and cubelocks but useless vs tempo rogues and aggro pallays,and when u climbing the ladder it's 80% to face thoose classes
