This is not clickbait - the moment we (myself and my brother) saw that druid was getting nerfed we knew this deck would crush hunters all the way to legend!

If you regularly visit Hearthpwn then Tommy_wave needs no introduction! He is back with another deck spotlight:
Intro/General Strategy:
The premise of this deck is to start the game strong and end extremely early. It is an aggro deck through and through; that relies on getting very sticky boards. It does particularly well against spell hunter as when they play their secrets it further buffs our secret keepers!
Here are a couple of really clutch starts:
on coin:
- Place redemption --> The Coin into Vicious Fledgling. This way it is almost impossible for him to remove fledgling!
- Place either Righteous Protector or Argent Squire --> Blood Knight. This way you play a 6/6 on turn two; so gross!
w/out coin:
- Play Secret Keeper --> double secret --> Vicious Fledgling. Still a very strongand fast way to get out flappy bird that should allow it to stick.
- Play Righteous Protector or Argent Squire --> Redemption + Blessing of Might. Smashes 5 damage into face on turn two, and revives the minion as a 1/1 with divine shield if cleared.
Mulligan:
Versus Aggro: In general just have a good play for all three of your first turns, i.e curve out.
- Hunter: Just find Secretkeepers: GG and profit. Also Redemption is bad for testing secrets but good for absorbing huffers.
- Heal-lock: Try and be the first one to throw a flappy bird on board; this way he either has to use a Soulfire or it sticks and you have a great chance of winning.
- Odd Rogue: Redemption is so clutch here. They are usually only able to clear one minion a turn and if that minion revives it helps our board state out a ton.
- Even Shaman: I've found that jugglers help a lot against Even shaman especially when stuck behind a Righteous Protector. Try and find those but otherwise just hunt for one drops- your goal as usual will be to fight for board control as he does not run any removal bar Hagatha.
Versus Control: You can be a bit more greedy and fish for Vicious Fledgling (Flappy Bird) + Tarim.
- Taunt Druid: very unfavoured but thank the nerf hammer that there are now far less of these around; flappy bird or bust. It's worth noting that you can go wide and not have to worry about spreading plague.
- Mechthun Priest: Greatly unfavoured - we are contemplating adding Mojomaster Zihi as this deck gains popularity. But try and curve out while fishing for flappies.
- Control Lock: Search for your silence as a Voidlord sticking can end it for you.
Shameless Stream Promotion:
It's our second time ever hitting legend and we just did it on stream so you have 6 hours of this deck being piloted from Rank 3 --> Legend to get through if you'd like some help piloting it!
Also for a bit of context, the guy who swore at us during the screenshot was a guy who was about to hit legend then he lost three games to us in a row! Two of them were spell hunter and one was control pali. We narrowly got through his control pali to snatch legend!
If you enjoy the deck and would like a mulligan guide then please upvote! If the deck gets to 25 upvotes then I'll add more detail and include a mulligan guide. Thanks for the incredible support everyone! As promised: ^^
Much love and goodluck on ladder everyone!

EDIT:
-1 Blood Knight / +1 Spellbreaker (We have found the final silence wins you many more games than the occasional 3 mana 6/6)
SECOND EDIT:
-1 Blessing of Might / +1 Mojomaster Zihi (With the abundance of combo decks we are facing in legend this card is invaluable, if you do not have it or are between Rank 15 - 5, I'd suggest skipping it)
Heavy control decks like control mage and odd warrior
A lot of people are asking and yes, this deck is definitely playable against spell hunter. The secret buff is a bonus, what more difficult for his to deal with is our ever growing board of stickly secret backed minions.
I played this deck and it's great. Most opponents are hunter, who buff my Secretkeeper. Permanently Secrets are granted which makes opponents crazy. It's very funny and successfull. Thank you for this deckcode.
Thank you for the deck, I got from rank 3 into legend, with 69% winrate, too :D
I lose to all warriors and priests, vs hunters I usually win and everything else is free win
Thanks again
Loving the deck but makes me realise why Rexxar should fuck off into a retirement home or get his cost jacked up to something realistic.
Enjoyable, and VERY cheap deck, if spmepne doesnt have dust pro cards for even, i think this is best they can have.
I've gone a few games without having to use Call to Arms, i'm thinking about replacing one, thoughts? Other than that, solid deck man, its actually fun to use. I'm just thinking about how to up it more.
Thank you for this deck. I love playing aggro and short games. Is this the return of Paladin?
How about Glass Knight?
I like Mojomaster Zihihere
Definitely gonna look into it.
Any place for Leeroy Jenkins? He seems like a strong finisher.
Why Knife Juggler over something stickier like Amani Berserker?
It has incredible synergy with Vinecleaver, Call to.Arms and even some.of.your secrets :)
Play a new deck before 10 (5 or legendary) rank ... Genius!
Any slot for Crystalsmith Kangor ??
After thinking about it I agree with Acramentar - this is an aggro deck, not really suited
It doesn't make much sense, this is an aggro deck.
disenchant it already ;)
Vs Spell Hunter playable?Or Even Paladin or Warlock better?
