Win Condition: Out-pace your opponent in the late game with multiple big turns and big minions, while throwing face damage throughout the early game.

This deck has a ~70% winrate between Rank 15-10.

Combo's to utilize - 

Tundra Rhino + Emerald Spellstone: 10 mana / 14 damage. Fully upgraded spellstone and tundra can surprise an opponent for an impressive 12 damage and 5 bodies.

Play dead + Deathrattle minions: Cards like Silver Vanguard and Kathrena Winterwisp can make for some incredibly threatening combos. Playing Kathrena will summon one of Devilsaur/Highmane/Rhino and playing Play Dead on Kathrena will pull you another (Pulling Rhino + Highmane is so satisfying, especially cause the Hyena's will charge if the Highmane dies).

Play Dead on Vanguard will pull Kathrena/Lich King/Devilsaur. Oozeling is a fun addition as you can sometimes cheat out these cards much earlier in the game.

Inexpensive substitutes

Violet Wurm <> Charged Devilsaur/Lich King - This swap still allows you to pull an 8 mana minion, which also happens to be a Beast AND have a nice Deathrattle effect, so it fits perfectly in substitution.

Secrets <> Cat trick/Venomstrike trap - The secrets included in this deck specifically help with board control, either by spawning minions for you or removing enemy minions. Cat trick and Venomstrike are ok substitutes, but not perfect.

Rexxar <> 2nd Freezing trap - There wasn't room for 2 Freezing traps, but if you dont have Rexxar, it's the next choice for sure because of the Spellstones and Secretkeepers.

Mulligans

Keep - Secrets, Secretkeeper, Flanking Strike, Stonehill Defender & Animal Companion.

Stonehill Defender is a very nice card to have, especially against Aggro decks. Zoolock, Murlocs and Mid-range Paladin will give you a lot of problems early, so being smart with your Mulligans against Warlock & Paladin is important.

Mulligan - Play Dead, Tundra Rhino and all 6+ mana cards.

The win condition is trying to cheat out the higher cards with good synergies, which all occur towards the late game. Keeping Play Dead and Tundra wont do anything for your early game and will see you lose to Aggro decks very quickly.
