IMPORTANT:To anyone claiming I stole this deck and I'm baiting everyone, you are wrong. Not sure what u want me to say to prove I made this deck, but I aint gonna come on here and lie about making it. Someone said the deck was trending a week ago on hsreplay. That's some bs and completely false. I just made this post a week ago and I barely played the deck with a deck tracker enough for it to be posted on the hsreplay stats. It makes me really ticked off and mad when someone said I'm baiting everyone into thinking I made the deck. Sorry about this long-winded message it just makes me mad
"That's not the reason it's bait. It's clearly not your deck. You are trying to claim ownership of something that does not belong to you. You are the only person stealing credit. "Your" deck had been trending as the #1 winrate deck in hsreplay for nearly a week before you caught on and decided to steal credit and post it to hearthpwn. You are not talking to the people on hearthpwn who will take you by your word. You are talking to people who are up to date with the day to day meta and know what they are talking about."
UPDATE: I wanted to let everyone know that this deck has the highest winrate currently recorded on hsreplay.net!! That's So Surreal to me and its crazy how far this deck has gone!! 71.3% Global Winrate with over 3.5k games!! Thanks to everyone who has supported this deck :D
Heres a picture of what I am talking about :D

Highest Rank Achieved So Far: 6
I didn't use a deck tracker, but I believe my winrate was around 70%-80% (to legend of course). Enjoy! Climbed from Rank 5 - Legend in probably >100 games. Hopefully this deck spreads!
As promised, heres a better mulligan guide!
Mulligan Guide:
High Roll Decks (I.E. Giants, Big Priest, etc.):
Look to either kill them before their "big turn" or very near to it. Decks like these can come back with their excessive AOEs which are a huge threat to this deck, namely Big Priest. Against Big Priest, they will almost always play Barnes on 4 or coin it if possible. That means you need to be prepared to kill what comes out or kill him before he resurrects a bunch more. If the player pulls out an Obsidian Statue, try to silence it and go face, as for most minions. If he hits Ragnaros, However, go all face. Don't kill rag as he isn't inherently a threat, especially with 5 or so 1/1s on the board. Ideally, your starting hand would consist of a couple of the following cards:
Righteous Protector, Finley, Shielded MiniBot, Muster for Battle, Call to Arms.
Cards you should keep sometimes: Knife Juggler w/ Muster for Battle/Call to Arms, Spell Breaker with a strong opener, Divine favor (I wouldn't, but you can if you are confident that you will not get a 3 drop or have enough cards to beat them down.)
So ideally you are curving 1 into 2 into 3 into 4, just like usual. The idea of the deck is to subtly play around AOE without really holding back power. Like if you think the opponent has defile, try to give him a worse defile, by killing a 1 health minion over trading a divine shield minion or something similar.
Against Giants Warlock I would recommend to assume they have a really weak opener and play off of that. I win a lot just because they don't have Naga or any of their oppressive cards. However, if they flood the board with Giants, It should be YOUR #1 PRIORITY to remove that Naga. Leaving it up can give them the ability to drop an early Voidlord/Guldan and no one wants that. Avoid the pain and struggle by removing it if possible. Use silence to get through their big demon boys and smack em up as much as you can. Tarim is a liability in this match up, but I wouldn't recommend holding him off Muligan. You can if you want, but remember that you are essentially playing with one less card, which can severely weaken the power level of Tarim. If you don't have Tarim when the Giant Apocalypse strikes, abuse the crap out of Noble Sacrifices and try to keep up as many Taunts as possible. Try to even play redemption out with a Righteous Protector, so that when they kill it, you get another 16 damage meat shield. Loatheb is also a really good win-more card, and can lock down the game against this Deck and Big Priest if timed correctly. Spam Loatheb against giants because you aren't going to be able to hold it for forever, but try to play it going into a Big Priest's Shadow Essence/AOE Turn (Dragon Fire/Light Bomb/Psy Scream.
Aggro Decks (I.E. Shaman, CTA Paladin, Secret Mage, etc):
For everything but Secret mage, I would recommend just trying to stick a Knife Juggler and have him do the trading for you. Essentially, if you can go Righteous Protector into Knife Juggler into Something like MFB or CTA, then you almost always win from there. The power level of CTA in this deck is crazy, pulling out very powerful minions every time. I just want to quickly mention this, as it may not be common knowledge: If you have the option to trade a minion or use a weapon to kill another minion, always use the weapon. Keep those minions alive and you'll be golden. Also, Aggro Shaman can have really weird turns due to their Overload mechanic, which can give you a huge lead. Take advantage of their weak turns by going face and flooding the board as much as possible.
Secret Mage is very different from the others. They wont initially apply a lot of pressure with the board, but if you aren't careful, you may walk into their trap of burn spells.
It is imperative that you minimize the effects of Counter Spell and Explosive Ruins as much as possible. Waste their Counter Spell on a secret you may have drawn, and try to get their explosive ruins to trigger on a minion you may want to die (Haunted Creeper or Mad Scientist) or on a MiniBot if you would like. Just keep in mind when you swing a weapon into their minions, because their Burn is uncontested. Thalnos + Frost Bolt + Ice Lance x2 + Fireball is just one of their deadly combos that deals 21 damage. Yes it is 10 Mana, but most of the time you are lower than 21 hp.
Okay Guys, that's a couple of the hard match ups that I assume might be troubling everyone. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I will be sure to answer it as best I can!

Thanks to Jeleniowatyy for making this great guide on how to play this deck! Make sure to check him out!!
Thanks to RNGStone for making this video guide! Its really helpful and even I learned from it. I would appreciate it if you guys would go check him out!
Great deck, fun to play and easy to navigate. It's a better better version of mysterious challenger deck from a meta long ago. They play style of the deck felt very familiar. The deck went 12-1 in the new brawl so can't complain. I swapped a Coghammer for a Rallying Blade because i don't own 2 copies, it worked out fine. So i was thinking of adding the dr. Boom in but after my run i m convinced keeper is allot better.
deck loses to spreading plague lol
Deck is insane! I went from rank 3 to Legend with 80% winrate. Call to arms makes pala broken as hell. I hope Blizzard does something about it.
Finley sometimes feels like it underperforms due being very common its pull out of CTA. But when the battlecry activates is nice. Anyway, congrats on finding and refining the list. You've created a beast.
32-8. From rank 11 and 2 stars to ---------D rank 5 and 2 stars. 3 games were lost due to unimaginable bad draw, as an example first turn was in round 4. Ran out of steam in the rest of them. You rely a lot on the juggles but you can pull it through if you do not play into the aoe. Also Loatheb is the best card on turn 5,6. Did not have him against a combo druid, the weasel played 4 effing spreading plague on me. and i wouldve won if not for fatiguing for 2,the universe playing a practical joke of odds int that game, i repeat, 4 spreading plague.
I liked playing Secret Paladin back in the day, had a 80+% win rate with it up until rank 5. But now with this deck, RNG is not with me. On rank 13 EU I kept facing Control/Big Priests with mostly 5 aoes in consecutive turns and Control/Cubelocks who drew the nuts every damn game. I know this deck can perform very well, but not when getting matched up with these decks.
Great deck! Went from Rank 5 to Legend with it, i would say with a 75% winrate, could easily deal with most meta decks, except control druids, luckily enough i only faced about 5 or 6 druids in total, but i lost all of those, their armor gains and bloody Scarab walls would eventually fatigue me 10\10 times, also some “full defense” cubelocks would pose trouble (prob fought 2 of those, mostly giant warlocks out there) and lastly other CTA’s pallys, this one was a RNG win/lose match, whoever got the first Knife juggler on board would usually win the game.
I did however made a few changes after hitting a wall in ranks 4-3, if anyone is wondering, this is what i changed to get to legend from that rank on
-2 rallying blade, -1 sir finley mrrlgnton, -1 mad scientist.
I was losing too much tempo with the blades against other CTA pallys, no real need to change my hero power its pretty useful as it is with the cards, mad scientist could stay but i figured with x2 mysterious and since apparently i would mostly always draw secrets into my hand, i had no need for him, best an alpha wolf that immediately buffs your other minions when played or called from cta.
to +2 lost in the jungle, +1 dire wolf alpha, +1 argent squire.
Just wrecked the current Tavern Brawl Arena with this deck(well, with the same slight deck alteration i mentioned last time) i went 12-0 in 1 hour! Any other deck i faced there didn't stand a chance, only two came close, a mirror Secret pally(but i had the RNG gods on my side on that one) and a Big Priest who practically drew all his AOEs early and ALMOST fatigued me out.
Pretty sure you'll do good in your wild open this weekend, this deck is currently an almost uncontested gem, good luck man!

Ah-ha, so you're who I have to blame for running into Secret Paladin again. :) I guess in retrospect I got lucky because my opponents never seemed to have Divine Favor. The old lists (pre-Standard) ran 1 but I'm surprised they didn't draw any now that there are two copies.
How the f. is everyone doing so well with the deck. I can't get a single win with this deck. Maybe I'm just not fit for the deck.
