Edit:
Looks like Barnes got nerfed xD. I wonder if this deck was at fault.
Intro
This deck started out as a joke, but I just reached legend with it, so it must at least be somewhat decent. We all know wild players are (generally) excruciatingly bad; but if we choose to ignore that and the fact that it's the very last day of the season, this deck actually showed some pretty interesting results.

(Ignore the Vargoth in my hand. I stole his Lich King, which then gave me Death Grip, which was then recasted by Zul'jin. And don't use Vargoth in this deck; It doesn't work!)
I mostly played on my phone, so I don't have any stats. But I reached legend in 2 days without grinding, so my winrate is probably fairly high.
A quick thanks
- Zul'jin and Barnes serves as two great examples of how this game is both fun and interactive; and the fact that they are both (coincidentially) legendary, really lets you appreciate how Blizzard has kept this a f2p game, but with an advancement model that scales with your experience and not your money :))))))))))))))
Pros
- 3 mana Mind Control
- 4 mana 14/15
- 12 Sylvanas procs
- Jade druids autolose to Zul'jin
- Can actually outtempo Odd Paladin
- Hard counters Darkest Hour
- The deck is trash and therefore Immune to Togwaggle
- Can't res what isn't yours, Priest, Bloodreaver Gul'dan
Cons
- Struggles vs very fast decks: Kingsbane Rogue, Mech Hunter, Silence Priest, Quest Mage
- Requires very high skill: if the deck doesn't acknowledge your skill, you won't be able to control Animal Companion, Barnes, Sylvanas and Y'Shaarj.
How to play?
Master's Call/Tracking -> Barnes -> gg
Do note
Master's Call will always fetch Barnes, since there are only 3 minions in the deck; but tracking Tracking can discard some of them. Don't just throw it out if you already have Barnes.
Substitutions:
- Bear Trap , Wandering Monster (for some reason I always get Moroes or Mana Tide Totem)
- Flare
- Eaglehorn Bow could also be considered if you really want some help against snowball cards like Underbelly Angler , Steward of Darkshire , Ship's Cannon , Mechwarper
- Unleash the Hounds doesn't seem necessary. Plus it can't go past taunts or kill off your own Sylvanas like Grievous Bite
- Goblin Prank for a very ambitious deathrattle activator.
Do not use
Deadly Shot, Marked Shot, Wing Blast, Explosive Shot. Zul'jin already destroys everything and fills your board and hand. You will simply get fucked by Odd paladin.
I always love the decks that can beat big priests :) so great job mate, please make more deathrattle hunt versions
You, sir, are a freaking genius. I've been sweeping the floor with all those big priests and what elses. Actually, even the bad match-ups you listed I've won -even though with a lot of blood and sweat spilled-, and the ones I did lose were really well fought. Thanks for this idea.
