i. About Me
Heyo! So you may have seen my name out and about for the past couple years. I took a major break from Hearthstone since the Yogg Nerf, RIP Yogg. If you are a veteran player, you more than likely have seen my deck Sylvanas's Dirty Little Secretes.
Anywho, my name is Kenneth Slavik, I am the founder & owner of the amateur esport organization Running With Turtles. Everyone just calls me Slavik. Anyways, I know you guys are not here to read an autobiography... So let's begin....
p.s. follow me on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/rwtslavik
ii. Scope of work (end goal)
The goal is to win of course. Be the very best that no one ever was. This deck is about controlling the board and either defeating your opponent by pure damage or force them to realize that you provide an impenetrable defense (curse you Brawl) and they will concede by turn 5/6.
iii. Mulligans
So the cards I recommend keeping: Redemption, Mysterious Blade, Duel!, Call to Adventure (ONLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ARCHMAGE), Archmage Vargoth, Desperate Measures.
iv. Suggested Play Style
So hopefully you start off with the correct Mulligans... Let's begin.
Turn (1): Redemption
Turn (2): Mysterious Blade (Don't attack unless to clean up minions)
Turn (3): *SITUATIONAL* So here it depends on whats going on with the board. Does the enemy have a weapon or minions? Can you clean up the board with Blade? So much to think about right. So If they have no weapons and you have coin, Coin + Archmage. If you don't have Archmage, Call to Adventure.
Turn (4) *SITUATIONAL* So, you now have Archmage, you are excited to play him right? I know you are cuz our initial response it to play our minions. This is very wrong lol. Sorry.
We look at the board and see if they have anything that can possibly eliminate our Archmage... If so then we don't want him to die right away. Yes we have Redemption still in place but that What if factor... What if enemy kills him and then he is resummoned and killed again? Well then you are Shit out of luck. GG. Now you are like Anakin Skywalker in the duel against Obi Wan... but there is always a chance.
Anyways, by turn (4) you might have another weapon to play. Equip it maybe?
Or if you have coin, Archmage, & Desperate Measures.... you might to be able to survive the next turn. But you need to think before you play. Hell, Consecration can be played to help board clear.
** So now we will go on 2 different paths.**
Turn (5) ARCHMAGE:
So you have archmage on the board. Time to whip out you Big THICC D!!!! Duel! you perverts, god I swear... you all seeking at lewd content... well at this point we are about to see some serious poundage ;) You know that meme where Piper Perri is surrounded.... Well yeah, your opponent is Piper Perri and your minions are about to go to pound town. At this point, your opponent will more than likely have conceded by now.
Turn (5) NO ARCHMAGE:
Well this is going to be a tough one. At this point I would either play Duel!, Prismatic Lens, or Zilliax. But whatever you do, do not freak out. Stay positive.
Turn (6) : It's game time. Hopefully you have a good understand how to play this deck. Never underestimate your opponents and constantly keep that board clear.
**MORE GUIDE TO COME. JUST GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK**
v. Combos
Tunnel Blaster + Lightforged Blessing 3 x [INSERT # OF MINIONS]= HP!!!!
So this is like Frost Lich Jaina + Baron Geddon but more cost effective and has taunt!
v. Replacements
So... now we have come to this section. The "Oh fuck, I don't own this card, what should I do."
Well you give up and quit. JK don't. We are here for you. We ant you to succeed. I want to face my deck more and more since this morning was not enough already -_-
(Yes I am being toxic about my own deck, damn copy cats. LOL)
Anyways, let's begin.
Shirvallah, the Tiger
Oondasta
So many people do not have these cards. I understand... I had to create them myself when i wanted to run this deck. Being a F2P, some of us can not spare 3200 dust. So what can we replace with them?
+1 Bull Dozer (nasty man... Like, this is a great replacement for Tiger. Get yourself a Divine shield 9/7. Next turn, magnetize with Zilliax a now you got yourself a 12/9, divine shield, taunt, life steal minion. If I see this, I am quitting. Cya.
For Oondasta... I really don't know what to tell you. This card is great but again I understand. So we want something to survive and have rush.... Burly Shovelfist is our boy. Yes, its an expensive card. I get it. But we are here to clean the board. 9/9 minion with rush hurts man. AND its a common.
Not liking the +2 Tunnel Blaster? Replace them with +2 Bull Dozer
vi. Videos
Huge shout out to user kiwiinbacon. He created a great video of what this deck is like post Rank 5. 90% WR is not a joke.
shout out to another streamer, Jeleniowatyy. This man proves that this deck is usable in Legend!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!
vii. Updates
So, have you ever been so successful at something that when you try it again... it just does not go to plan anymore? LOL well that is where I am at. RNG is bending me over and giving me my high cards at the start after swapping them. Thankfully this is on my alt account and not my main. Anyways, I made some changes. I would like to thank everyone here who provided some insightful feedback.
So I broke down and added +2 Batterhead.
Stop asking for Grizzly. See Spoiler.
I advise against Grizzly. I am typing up my report now on why Grizzly is a big no.
long story short, duel is wasted on the 3/12. Prismatic lens fucks you when you grab Grizzly for a Consecration.
All in all.... Grizzly sucks in this deck.
A combo that has saved my ass countless times is Tunnel + Lightforged Blessing. So much HP comes back. This also helps with the board clear.
But a big no on Grizzly. Please don't do it. I want to throw my self out my office window because how much of a fail I have received. Oh, yeah, play Call to Adventure hope to get Zilliax then YOINK!!! you get a fucking Grizzly.... UGH please don't get me started lol.
Um I have tried Bull Dozer... Cool card. Great replacement for Lion, if you don't have... but it is extremely slow.
4.25.19 UPDATE
So long story short, we need more hp and control
+ 2 Humanity
+ 2 Deranged Doctor
-2 Tunnel Blaster
Prisim + Humanity is god like. lots of WTF as well when you play humanity.
NA decks...
Thanks for posting this! I've experimented with it in casual and can confirm that it eats up most aggro, suffers with bomb warrior, and is a ton of fun!
Yeap, absolutely agree, especially with the "suffers with bomb warrior" part. I believe almost every deck has troubles with them.
Any advice on how to deal with these bomb warriors?
So far the plan has been to play more like a "big" deck than a control deck, since their win condition is "Sit back and watch them explode... slowly." So doing your best to apply pressure while playing around Brawl and Shield Slam, and pray they get Dr. Boom, Mad Genius as late in the game as possible.
We basically try to high roll Duel! to kill bomb generators and Augmented Elekk, and smash face. Every chance you get to efficiently heal up with Mountain Giant/Batterhead + Lightforged Blessing or Shirvallah, the Tiger matters once the bombs start hitting.
It's a rough matchup, so that's been the best route to take when I face them. Sometimes you win, sometimes they just watch you explode while they kill your stuff and infinitely generate minions, damage, armor, and removal from Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.
This deck doesn't counter the faster face decks that can have a full board on turn 2 or 3. It's just a touch to slow
iHey, I just want u to know you wrote "v." 2 times. Good guide tho.
shit you right, my b. Good catch.
Really really struggles against bomb warrior. They just have so much removal and big value cards like Omega Assembly for endgame. Omega Devastator also SUPER qq
Yeah at rank 5 all I see is bomb warriors and rogues. The aggro decks like Token Druid, Zoo Lock, Murlock Shammy are non existent.
Great guide, gotta like this. :D
lol thanks, def full of memes and humor
not working on eu
from rank 11 3 stars back to rank 15.......
damn man. Sorry to hear that. It worked with my Alt account from 20-5 yesterday in NA.
After rank 5 though its pretty tough.
You must have been lucky because big paladin has too many issues atm.
100% indeed. This deck need alot of changes but it's a good foundation tho. Maybe if someone else tries to make this deck better because this last changes haven't been that good.
This is my version, which so far, is working out pretty well for me. Or maybe I've just been on a lucky streak.

Serious issues right now TBH.
IDK what it was but i could not stay positive. Maybe I am to tired but tonights stream, 1st time streaming HS in a long time.... it was rough. Would love some more feedback but I was miss playing left and right.
There is just no place for this deck in current meta.
Control warrior - you're fucked.
Summon mage - you're fucked.
Control shaman - you're fucked.
Rogue overall - you're fucked.
Priest - fucked because of noomi.
I think I've had good WR against zoo warlock and hunter. That's all. And I've been trying all kinds of big pally since the launch of the expansion (pally main since GVG). Most you can count on starting from rank 10-5 is 50%. Higher than that - you'll prolly not even get to legend. So please don't trust those WR% title BS unless someone post clear evidence on that WITH class WR distribution.
Good evening everyone, I will be streaming the deck tonight around 8pm EDT.
We will be starting from [Rank 5] 2 stars.
90% wr lmao yea sure. Maybe from 50 to 25.
