Hey ho!
If you want to have A LOT of reaking fun while also having an good win rate, this is the deck. It is not totally broke back like druid, but this deck is very strong for sure. And it is sooo much more fun to play than the main stream meta decks :) At this time i am 22-7 with the deck in top legend on EU.

Game Strategy
Damn it, we made 20+ upwotes, so here comes the strategy and mulligan guide :P
Well, the general game strategy varies from different match ups. In general this deck wants to generate tempo by playing minions on curve the first 5 turns. And then fuel your hand with card draws like Myra and sprint to have enough treats yo kill your opponent.
Against druid and when having mossy on hand, you often want to bait out the plagues, by going wide then play mossy and refill. I was not sure about the mossy tech in the beginning, but mossy have turned out to be insanely good in the list.
Play your minions on curve, and try to hold back combo ativators (often 1-drops) to be able to activate Minstrel, Vilespine and SI.
One of the factors that makes the deck hard to pilot is to know when to play vilespine to generate tempo by killing a small impact minion, and when to realise that you can afford to hold it back fot bigger minions. Like against Druids and Even lock, you often want to hit spine on Lich king, Giants and Hooked Reaver. But you have to read the situation and ask yourself: Can I win by holding vilespine back this turn or do I have to generate the tempo immediately to win?
If you got epsionage in hand, donæt be afraid or too greedy with the Myra. Myra makes you able to puke out many threats the following turns and often just finish your opponent off. When having espionage, you can go Myra and then Espionage so your whole deck is only 1- costs. Also you usually will summon some spiders, so the tempo is huge. Basicly, you have to try to recognize at what time you need to generate the tempo and when to hold back. Like against Odd warrior going all in on tempo is usually a bad Idea, since they will just reckless flurry or brawl the board. That means that you might just take the game to fatigue. I played some odd warriors, and in the game where my hand do not makes me able to generate tempo and push my opponent, I choose to play it slow for fatigue. You should win in fatigue since you can go Elekk + Epsionage and shuffle 20 cards back in the deck.
Mulligan strategy
So this is what I think is the very most difficult thing to do correctly with this deck. How to mulligan is actually very hard. When playing zoo lock you just mulligans for 1 drops and keleseth, this is not the exact case with this deck.
For sure, if you are given 1 drops and keleseth you usually wants to keep the hand. But this is usually not the case. For example is always a keep, Elek and Striders are in some matches also keeps, for example against druids.
When facing aggro, you want to go more on the hard mulligan for 1 drops and keleseth. But when facing druids, hard mulliganing for 1-drop without having Cold blood in hand is often not correct since you might and up with a very expensive hand.
To break it down: If you want to simplify the mulligan, just look for 1- drops and keleseth. You will usually do well by doing so. Just be aware that keeping 3-drops against some decks are not bad as well.
If anything stands unanswered, feel free to ask questions in the comment box below and I will do my best to answer as many as I can.
This deck can't handle aggro which is what most people are playing.
Interesting mix of aggro and control. It would really struggle with silver hand pallys, but you can get a pretty nice game if luck is on your side.
I included Valeera DK also , instead of 1 elek
How am I supposed to stop egg hunter with this deck?
Nah, vanish is no good in this deck since you want to play it out for tempo - vanish will often be a dead card in your hand. Against hunter you want to find early game and try to snowball and be able to deal with his early minions. Try to set it up so you kan kill both his egg and devilsaur to stop him from snowballing you.
Add spellbreaker.
thanks for this!
Won three games in a row with the deck haha... Seems pretty good I'd say thanks XD !!!
Yeah Fan of Knives is really good against paladin and probably wins you the game single handed when playing tempo rogue! Nice!
What u cut for Fan of Knife ? Thx
Sorry but I don't see the value over the earlier Espionage decks.
By adding Keleseth there are even more cards that need to be drawn at the right time. Removal such as Eviscerate and Sap has been sacrificed. I even miss Fan of Knives. Edwin has also disappeared, which is a great tempo card if not an alt win.
the deck is meant to play more like a tempo deck from K&K and TFT than a miracle deck. by flooding the board with bigger minions the opponent has a harder time dealing with it. keep in mind that most espionage miracle decks have something like a 43-47% win rate as is. This deck is good, but depending on what youll come against, youll likely keep those kind of win rates.
Yeah, one of the reasons behind espionage is that you can go myra and then espionage, so your deck is fillled with 1 cost cards as well as your board probably will be flooded with spiders from faldorei striders :)
this is a great deck. I got me from rank 8 to rank 5 without a single loss. and I dont even have mossy horor and only one elek
Which card can i replace with Zilliax?
I am missing Myra's Unstable Element and both Augmented Elekks... Should I craft any of them or are these cards replacable?
Augmented Elekk's are very good in this deck because it'll double the value of cards that shuffle cards into your deck. Myra's Unstable Element is very nice since it's a final chance at drawing lethal. It can also be used in Odd Rogue which it's super nice so I'd recommend crafting them, especially if you wanna get the full experience of this deck.
I would really like to add Valeera the Hollow, don't you think she fits in well?
Add tess and cauldron for more fun
