Hi guys, Zephyrus1291 here, a recently legend hearthstone player. I would like to share a deck that I used to reach legend. Credit goes to @Dekkster for showing this deck on his stream. You can find the showcase of his video here:

My stats with this deck is 59-31 (66% WR). It's insane how fast the game could end most of the time since there is so much fuel to keep the pressure going. I would highly suggest to always focus on the draw. You have Rising Winds, Fungal Fortunes, and Overflow to cycle fast. Don't worry if you hit a minion using Fungal Fortunes since you will still be able to win in most cases.

Strategies

Winning conditions are always determined by a single or double Savage Roar. Always do the math or pay the price.

1. Glowfly Swarm by itself is already a big threat on the board. You'll notice how versatile this card is, from preventing your aggro opponent to continue hit face to making a very strong board presence with Power of the Wild and Ironbark. At turn 9, combo with Soul of the Forest can be an auto-win sometimes. Be careful with Priest's Plague of Death though.

2. Exotic Mountseller is the second fuel for the pressure meter. If you look at the deck structure, notice how this version includes two Moonfire and two Crystal Power. At first, I thought that it's a bit ridiculous to run that many cheap spells but after a few games, I was surprised how useful they are in the current meta as well as the synergies they bring with Exotic Mountseller. It's often possible with this deck to obtain full 7 minions in one turn from an empty board just from the synergy between cheap spells and this card. I can't emphasize enough how important this card is for winning most games.

3. Ysera, Unleashed is the third fuel for the pressure meter. @Dekkster mentioned how Kael'thas Sunstrider can be awkward most of the time and does not generate as many values as expected. Other versions include The Forest's Aid and Gift of the Wild to support the synergy with Kael'thas Sunstrider. After trying several games on that version, I observed how the values fell short compared to Exotic Mountseller and Ysera, Unleashed. The possibility to hit bigger minions than a 2/2 is more valuable than you would expect. Hence, I can understand how Ysera, Unleashed could definitely replace Kael'thas Sunstrider. The strength of this card is showcased in slow-paced situations where there's little pressure from your opponent at late turns (looking at Mages and Priests lol). Following up with Fungal FortunesRising Winds, or Overflow could easily refill your board without having your other fuels in play. Definitely a strong card for this deck.

Mulligan Strategy

Keep Fungal FortunesOvergrowth, and Glowfly Swarm. With Demon Hunters and Hunters, add Crystal PowerWrath, and Bogbeam on the list. Note that when facing DH or Hunter, The Coin or Innervate into Glowfly Swarm at turn 4 is okay as it will definitely help to stall the game. The possibility for you to turn the game into a win if they ignore the glowflies is pretty high. One Ironbark or Power of the Wild on at least 4 glowflies could often lead you to victory.

The Savage Roar Value

Savage Roar is undoubtedly your winning card. Other versions run only one card but this version runs two. And it has a very good reason. Knowing that you can easily go wide with this deck, it's insane when double Savage Roar is activated. The multiplier is 4 for each minion, including your hero. Two 3/3 glowflies with double Savage Roar is 18 damage (19 with hero power). Exotic Mountseller and two Desert Hare with double Savage Roar is 23 damage (24 with hero power). This explains the importance of having two Savage Roar for this archetype. Remember, always do the math or pay the missed lethal price.

Hope you guys enjoy this deck and let me know in the comments below if it works out for you. Cheers!
