In either case control - odd, but it's also possible that you can encounter quest decks.

Normally they don't run silence, but I got punished by a certain player and lost my Rin-condition because of it. Anyway, this is a super favourable MU. Just play Rin and win.

If you somehow face taunt warr - then just save your healing for when you will really need it. If you manage to find the DK early, you can heal yourself by a great amount. The healing will be needed against their HP. 

Mid-range, Spell hunter or Deathrattle. Nothing much to say - treat them as aggro decks. Clear, stall and play the DK.

For Deathrattle hunter - use the Ironbeak Owl on their valuable deathrattle minions and deny them getting a lot of value.

>75% odd paladin - aka aggro deck aka just look at the mulligan above. Sometimes I save my Defile/Hellfire until turn 5, because their 1/1s don't do a lot of damage before that.

<25% control mech - mulligan for the aggro MUs first. Use a silence on their eggs - at best after being buffed.

< 1% Even - aka aggro aka just look at the mulligan and the strategy above. Beware of Sunkeeper Tarim.

Mostly Odd - aka aggro deck aka just look at the mulligan above.

Unlike other aggro decks, Defile isn't activated easy. I prefer to look for Doomsayers/Hellfire and single-target removals for their 3-drops, because these are the most annoying ones. 

Deathrattle or Burgle Rogue - rare cases. They can also be treated as aggressive ones. Find your removals and win. In the case of Burgle - if the opponent doesn't pressure you, tap a lot, find the DK and then Rin and win.

Rare MU. Either shudder (win-rate depends on your draws) or even (super favourable).

Keep Rin, the First Disciple, Gnomeferatus and a Defile/Hellfire/Doomsayer just in case.


Inflict max pressure on the opponent's face, if they don't play aggro. Shaman's draws are typically bad and if you silence their Acolyte of Pain, you will make their day miserable.

I have faced some big and taunt druids in this brawl.

If this is one of the decks your opponent is playing, you are fucked. Hope that Gnomeferatu kills something good. Play Rin, the First Disciple ASAP. Don't allow them to mill your cards with Naturalize.

1) Mostly zoo - aka aggro aka look at the mulligan above.

2) Control - Mulligan for aggro first. Hope you find Rin, the First Disciple fast. Kill her!!! Silence is super popular these days.

3) Even - aka aggro aka see the info for the most popular warlock deck.

Tempo - Bad MU. Mulligan for this deck first. Play around the secrets, play Doomsayers and hope your draws are better than theirs. I would look for a Shadow Bolt just to kill an annoying minion. Avoid tapping.

Big Spell Mage - favourable MU. Normally the mages will prepare for zoo. Tap a lot, play Rin, the First Disciple and Dark Pact before they play their Skulking Geist.

Rare MU. 

I only faced 4 priest decks - Spiteful and control and combo. Imho control will be the most common case, so yeah, you know the drill. Beware of their Mind Control.

1) Zoo - loss, due to a mistake.
2) Shaman (new player)- win... I'm heartless I know.
3) Mid-range hunter - win.
4) Taunt Druid - loss.
5) Mech paladin - win.
6) Evenlock - win.
7) Mid-range hunter - win.

9) spiteful druid - loss (DK was in the last 3 cards of my deck).
10) odd warrior - win. Close game (I got the DK early, but Rin was the last 3rd or 2nd card).
11) odd pala - win.
12) odd rogue - win. Close game - I drew both voidlords early on, but top-decked the DK on curve.
13) control warlock - loss (due to a mistake + their demonic project killed my Azari even though I had 4 minions in my hand).

3rd run (7-3):

1) Tempo mage - loss.
2) Druid (new player) - win. Once again, I know that I'm heartless.

4th run (7-3):

1) zoo - win.
2) spell hunter - win.
3) elemental mage - win.
4) even shaman - win.
5) big druid - loss. My opponent even ran Spreading Plague and the DK in addition to their Hadronox. I lost because I gave them a Void Ripper from Demonic Project and Rin was literally the last card.
6) odd control mech rush warrior - win. It was the same guy I faced on my 3rd turn.
7) mid-range hunter - win.
8) control warlock - win. He project me twice after I got Azari, but he missed. My opponent played the Skull earlier and it pulled out their own Azari. So yeah, the skull can be a double edged sword.
9) odd mech warrior - loss. Normally warriors don't run silence, but this one did. I misplayed by not killing my own Rin and I got punished from it.
10) big druid - loss.

1) odd rogue - win.
2) shudder shaman - win. Gnomeferatu killed their Grumble on turn 2.
3) shudder shaman (a different opponent) - win. Rin carried a lot.
4) control warlock - win.
5) deathrattle hunter - win.
6) odd rogue - win.
7) deathrattle control priest - loss. DK and Rin were in the last 7-5 cards of my deck.
8) deathrattle hunter - loss. DK was literally the last card. I managed to play it but it was too late.
9) zoo - win.
10) zoo - win.
11) odd rogue - win.
12) big spell mage - win.
13) odd rogue - loss. I think I also made a small mistake somewhere. At one point we were both on top-deck mode. I was very low on health (2 hp), but I managed to play a stonehill, followed by a stonehill and then saronite chaingang to stop his buffed Edwin. But my opponent was holding on an SI 7 and they killed me on the following turn.

1) Burgle Rogue - win.
2) Elemental/Bloodlust shaman - win.
3) Zoo - win.
4) Deathrattle hunter - win.
5) Zoo - win.
6) Zoo - win.
7) Odd pala - win.

9) Taunt Druid - loss.
10) Maly Druid - loss.
11) Control Warlock - win.
12) Control warrior - win.
13) Spell hunter - win.
14) Maly Druid (literally the same opponent) - loss.

1) Hunter (new player) - win. I'm not heartless. I am soulless.
2) Hunter (another new player) - win... No comment.
3) Shudderwock evolve shaman - win.
4) Spell hunter - win.
5) Zoo - win.
6) Deathrattle rogue - win.
7) Control warlock - loss. (They played their Rin faster, I didn't have a silence for her and my project whiffed).
8) Combo Priest - win.
9) Evenlock - win.
10) Odd rogue - loss. (Due to a mistake. I was actually wondering what's the best play, but I got wrecked by the Blood Knight after I giggle-d my opponent)
11) Deathrattle hunter - win.
12) Even paladin - loss. (Maybe I have made a mistake somewhere, but my draws were really bad. In the mulligan stage I got a voidlord at the end and my first draw was the second voidlord followed by a lackey, lord godfrey, a pact and the second lackey)
