Hey guys!
As always I wanted to create a original AND competitive deck and after a bit of struggling in the ladder I came out with this fabolous deck which is giving me around 70% of WR from gold to diamond, and it looks like somebody is playing it in legend ranks with good results! 

You are a FULL CONTROL so remember: Waste cards (for example using a big aoe against small minions) only against aggros.

Against aggro decks you should use wisely your Witch's Brew and Walking Fountain, against these face hunter decks you can keep one of these two cards on the opening hand.  A option against aggro decks is to Reveal an Ancestral Spirit through Vulpera Scoundrel or Marshspawn to use on Walking Fountain to heal for 16 HP and trade until 4 minions.
Against Demon Hunters don't be afraid of using Zephrys the Great early only to destroy one of his weapons. 

Against control your task is to counter enemy strategies so you should always go for the most value possible. For example against a res priest or a big spell druid you should play your Plague of Murlocs only when you can get the maximum value from this unbelievable debuff. Let them fill the board and bite a bit of your life, then punish them when they forgot the very existance of the Plague. Will be instant concede.

Against all those Prime cards you have also Hex and Earth Shock.

Your control/tempo enemies will be shocked as well.

Of course The Fist of Ra-den shapes the decks archetype. We can say this deck is a mixture of Highlander/dragon and Reliquary of Souls Shaman.
This because, as it was already found out and exploited in some decks, the only 1 MANA legendary card in standard now is the very nice Reliquary of Souls from the Priest which will get very in hand, expecially against aggro. Potentially you can make 4 of those Lifesteal monsters using your 2 1 mana cost spell in the deck + 1 mana spells that you might Reveal with MarshspawnVulpera Scoundrel or with the battlecry of Cobalt Spellkin

I hope you guys will try the deck and enjoy, I hope we can find together the way to make this deck even stronger!

 Edit 17/04/2020: I chose to remove Mutate which was in the end most of times useless for a Torrent and the WR is increasing ;)

I am posting here a video by Supersenter playing a deck really similar to this that managed to hit Legend and it's making its way to climb the rank:

A couple of other suggestion for new players:

-Against a control deck use your hero power as much as you can to generate more value on the general game count. Example: on turn 2 don't play Thalnos just Hero Power. On turn 6 a 2/3/4 mana card + Hero power instead of a 5/6 mana card. Because that Totem will be somehow "lost forever" (this thing is the same with Paladin control decks).
Of course this only if the game is going slow, DON'T GO for value against aggro and tempo decks if you know they are going to combo you next turn.

-If Sludge Slurper gives you Goblin Lackey, and you have Siamat on your hand, you can summon Siamat on turn 8 giving him Windfury, Divine Shield AND Rush throught the Goblin Lackey, which will be pretty strong.

-It's a option to Hex one of your own minions in extreme face-to-face situations.

-When you have Zephrys the Great on hand, and a board with some minions,  you may have a lethal without noticing

Update 01/05/2020 : added The Lurker Below instead of Khartut Defender for more board control, and also to watch that super satisfying animation that the legendary  beast has :p
