Hi Guys, I just climbed to EU Legend with this deck and I want to share it with you. Very cheap, easy and fun to play. I recommend players that are trying to climb Legend. If you have any questions, please comment below, I'll answer them.
Edit: Dragonmaw Poacher out, Frizz Kindleroost in. Because Frizz Kindleroost is never will be a dead draw. You can play your dragons cheaper and 4 mana 5/4 is not reduce your tempo.
General Strategy
This deck is all about mana cheating and it is fun as hell! Cards that cheats mana are the core of this deck. Embiggen. Strength in Numbers and Breath of Dreams.
With Embiggen, your minions will be much bigger, your tempo will be unstoppable. Once you play minions with big bodies and effects, opponents will not be able to out tempo you. Your minions' extra effects like taunt and untargetability, forces your opponent to trading. So a big advantage for both offense and defense.
Breath of Dreams is an excellent card with ramp and draw power. Especially very effective at early game so you can play bigger.
Strength in Numbers is the biggest trick of this deck. It grants extreme tempo advantage at whole game. No matter it is early or late. It can summon Evasive Wyrm, Winged Guardian of Zilliax.
Deck has a weird side in it. You can have surprise lethals, so always check for lethals, It may be surprising even for you. Because you always have a big and wide field. You may have 10-12 attack Leeroy Jenkins or 2 Swipes and Scalerider in hand. While you have big taunts like Emerald Explorer or Winged Guardian, it is better to play aggresively and attack to face with your big minions.
Beast package Winged Guardian and Witching Hour is a nice addition to deck after new adventure. Most of the decks can't deal with a 8/10 Winged Guardian but sometimes Witching Hour can be a dead draw, so be careful with it. Note: If you discover Nightmare Amalgam from Emerald Explorer, don't forget that Nightmare Amalgam is also a beast and it can ruin Witching Hour.
Matchups
If you are against an aggro deck like Face Hunter, Zoolock or Mech Paladin, go fast and play your cheap minions and don't let your opponent gain tempo until midgame. After that, their fuel will be out and you will win the game(mostly they will concede lol).
If you are against a non-aggro deck, no need to rush, play on curve and don't trade with your big minions, your opponent is supposed to do trades while you are going face.
For heavily control decks like Quest Priest and Holy Wrath Paladin you should go extremely aggro and smash their faces until they got their objective otherwise you will lose. These decks are the worst matchup for us, so don't be upset if you lose.
For mirror match, most important card is Strength in Numbers. You need to complete it before your opponent.
Mulligan Guide
!!!Always Keep and Hard Mulligan For All-Star Cards !!!
Embiggen Strength in Numbers Breath of Dreams
For aggro matchups you can consider to keep Fearie Dragon, Injured Tol'vir and Scalerider but for others I always hard mulligan for the all-star cards.
Card Preferences
You can try these other cards in your deck if you want:
SN1P-SN4P, Spellbreaker, Archmage Vargoth, Batterhead or Dragonmaw Poacher.
You can cut these cards from deck:
Frizz Kindleroost, Witching Hour, one Injured Tol'vir, one Scalerider.
I have no Zilliax so put a Spellbreaker in there and it's been an absolute lifesaver at times. Especially good when you need to break down a strong taunt minion or prevent a lethal attack.
Anyway this deck is great, nice job on putting it together.
edit:
Worth saying that I also had Ysera in for Witching Hour but I have since crafted Witching Hour, taken out Spellbreaker and have Batterhead.
I use two <card>History Buff</card> and like them very much. Good deck though
Without Frizz I got 13-1 to Rank 5. Great Deck.
-Frizz Kindleroost
+Ysera, Unleashed

How to play versus mech paladin?
is there a solid sub for zilliax?
You can add a good Taunt, Lifesteal or Rush Minion in the place of Zilliax.
7 - 3 atm. HUGE DECK. i put new ysera in, but it doesnt really flow well i dont think.
thanks cracken
Added Brightwing in this deck
Think it is a good card to put in this deck if you got her
Brightwing is not good for deck's tempo. So not a good choice.
alright, sorry
I’ve been farming gold with this deck since the adventure card reborn minion came out.....nothing new here.
Really great deck.
Normally I play on EU server between rank 5 and 1. I started 2 days ago to play on asian server and started again from rank 50. I had enough dust for this deck on rank 26 and in 1 day i got to rank 4. This deck is just crazy..
Wow pretty nice run that you have. Congrats!
How about Evasive Drakonid over Snip snap or Scalerider?
You can do it but you may have harder times with aggro decks.
Here is a little gameplay with the deck in rank 10-5 i replaced Leeroy Jenkins with [card]Evasive Drakonid [/card] and it works, thanks for the support
Hey, love this deck, too much fun seeing the bigs walls with Strength in Numbers. In rank 10, i'm seeing a lot legends hunters and i'm needing somo clear board now. What do you think? love the replace of frizz, improve a lot this deck
Maybe - 1 Witching Hour +1 Starfall?
Yes, you can try Skyfall.
Makes it sense to replace one faerie dragon and play Hadronox in Wild in this deck?
