The Combo
The combo is Fate Weaver the turn before to reduce the cost by one, then Leeroy Jenkins, Grave Rune, Embalming Ritual attack with Leerory and kill Leeroy with Wretched Reclaimer for 4 more Leeroys.
It should work better for newer players than the Nomi version I built, which is incredibly hard to play for new players (who need budget decks). And even if played perfectly, the current deck is probably better against aggro.
This deck is a lot cheaper than the original by NoHandsGamer: Kronx Dragonhoof and Mindflayer Kaahrj are not really essential, Zilliax as well as other cards can be replaced by Khartut Defender for Survivability.
Game plan
Control the board with taunts and don't throw away removal but use it carefully!
Feel free to use a Grave Rune e.g. on Convincing Infiltrator. If under pressure, use even other combo pieces if you need it for survival against aggro.
Many times you don't need the full combo with Fate Weaver. If the opponent is at 18 health, just use Leeroy Jenkins, Grave Rune and Embalming Ritual and kill off the Leeroy on one of his minions for three more.
Mulligan
Keep Disciple of Galakrond, Loot Hoarder as well as Dead Ringer. Against aggro look for Breath of the Infinite.
Against mid-range to slower decks, also keep Convincing Infiltrator.
More expensive card options
With less card draw, only the 2nd Fate Weaver is quite needed to pull off the combo. So if you have it good - otherwise, you'll manage.
Since the game tends to take quite long, include a Plague of Death if you have it.
Psychopomps are actually often quite bad with Galakrond, as priest ahs a lot of shit class minions that can be resurrected.
Shadowy Figure is good in combination with Khartut Defender and Convincing Infiltrator or as part of the combo.
