EDIT (5/4/21): -2 Scorpid. Great card, but +1 Barricade +1 Ogre or +2 Barricade is actually better. Better against aggro and Ogre helps us beat mages. Also barricades activate Yogg. Testing on stream tomorrow 11am - 3pm PST. Come hang and learn to play the deck!
EDIT (5/2/21): Yogg over 1 bunny is better IMO. Better on empty boards, can win unwinnable games, etc. Also -1 Minefield, -1 Taelan, +2 Scorpid. Scorpid can give you more bulk ups against Priest, more removal and an early body against aggro, and helps you cater your hand to your matchup a bit better. Also, without Taelan we avoid any Bulk Up concerns!
EDIT: I have been experimenting with Yogg instead of one Bunny and also a Stage Dive over Taelan to avoid Bulk up issues sometimes! Will update tomorrow after more experimentation!
This deck is absolutely savage. Completely original Poimlok creation! Some of you may remember me from last year when I broke the meta with Veilbatross Priest. I have a 60% WR with this deck on both ladder and in competitive over about 50 games (you can see this in my stream video from today, 4/28/21).
I won THL Pro Series Week 2 with this deck against Control Priest last week, and I plan to bring it again this week.
When played correctly and patiently, this deck is crazy strong and with the upcoming nerfs, its power will only GROW. I hit legend every single season with memes / off-meta nonsense and this will be the one I take there late this season and probably next month as well!
You destroy Ramp Druid, Rush Warrior, most aggro decks, and absolutely OBLITERATE Priest unless they discover an irrational amount of soul mirrors... and even then you probably win. Not many control decks can survive 8 rounds of Clowns and most aggro decks can't handle the amount of removal + armor gain + bulwark when played correctly.
You can sometimes beat Tick Lock, but if they hit key cards you probably lose. Aggro Paladin can also be tough to beat sometimes (they draw the nuts Crab + Hand), but certainly winnable if you have a good mulligan.
Mulligan against aggro: BOARD REMOVAL CARDS - minefield, bladestorm, brawl, rancor. Rancor EATS hunters and paladins alive and don't get me started on how it just erases token druids. You can keep the corsair cache if you're holding 2 removals already. sometimes you should keep armor vendor as a turn 1.
Against control: Corsair Cache lol (more guide coming soon)

Streaming this deck all week from 11am PST - 3pm PST. Check my recent vods for gameplay if you can't make it!
Thank you for checking it out and if you're digging the deck please drop a follow, as it helps my channel so much!
I tried this - I will just tell you it is safe to assume you lose to Mage, but I strongly advise against cutting card draw, friend!
For a little bit I was confused as to why Bulk Up was in this deck thinking it was only for Taelan Fordring. I completely forgot that Carnival Clown was in this deck. That makes so much more sense. After I found that out, I realized how incredible this deck is. This deck is actually insane.
Glad you like it, keep it up!
Just today, I've climbed like... alot. I ended the season at Plat 5 and went back down to Bronze 10, but I'm already back up to Silver 6. I currently have a 7-0 winrate against Warlock, Priest, and Mage, which seems to be all I run into playing this deck. I intend to keep playing this deck to try and get into Diamond this season. I can feel my skill improving by playing this deck, and I feel like this might be the deck that gets me to Legend for the first time since I started playing in 2015.
This is a wild deck!
Thanks for the love!
Replacement for Bulwark of Azzinoth?
To be blunt with you - nothing. I can't tell you how many games Bulwark has won for me. If I HAD to replace it...... maybe another minefield for aggro
I'm missing that too, and I don't want to craft it.
I just subbed in an Acidic Swamp Ooze. Any other suggestions much appreciated.
Try Stage Dive for draw power or Minefield!
well, i wasn't expecting that...good deck sir
Thanks, friend! Cheers
this deck emasculated me and stole my wife, what a chad.
Same. and I don't regret it one bit
Very good deck. Finally an answer to this aggrometa! Thanks a lot!
Finally? You got to be kidding dude. Control Priest farms aggro deck since 2 weeks.
Yeah, priest also does most of the time - I agree!
Any advice against mages? I substituted one Brawl for Minefield and Taelan Fordring for Mankrik
Unfortunately, not really. I think Mage is the worst matchup for this deck. It's winnable, but rarely. You likely lose that matchup. Try to mulligan for armor vendor for life and just pray to the RNG gods!
This deck almost feels like an auto win vs Control Priest. If people are losing more often than winning against control priest with this deck, they need to re-watch their games and find their misplays. Face Hunter can get gassed very quickly if you have early control and don't have any minions for them to Rhino. Paladin feels slightly favored, but similar to Face Hunter, if you can stop their early aggression, it's pretty smooth from there. Rush Warrior is harder to beat than Paladin, but still feels favored. If you don't have your win conditions early to mid game against Warlock, it can be tough. Mage has a lot of burn, but still feels favored.
To add, if Priest clears through every single board of Clowns, you just got deleted by RNG. I've gotten upwards of 30 health and 50+ armor against Priest with this deck by just armoring every turn and holding resources, so you're likely never losing to fatigue. After the upcoming nerfs, I predict this to be even better.
