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!
Agreed! Mage is probably unfavored overall, but against everything else this deck is quite strong when played correctly. I agree that after nerfs this deck will be nuts.
I think the idea is to generate copies and buff them, not focusing on corrupt them right? Because the only way to do that is with rabbits
You should be able to corrupt in almost every matchup, but yes, sometimes you have to play them uncorrupted!
Or just play the rabbits on an empty board with a hand full of clowns!
Exactly!
Great Deck. I change 1 Darkmoon Rabbit into Alextrassa. 5-0 for my record :)
Thank you!
This is an RNG deck if I've ever seen one.
1)Usually 2 things happens, either all your late game cards worth playing are at the bottom of your deck and the games over by the time you draw them, or they're at the top of your deck and you lose since you have nothing to stop your opponent.
2)There's so many useless cards against so many popular decks. Rancor is useless against Mage. Brawl is useless against most decks. You draw too many of these too early against the wrong deck and you're done.
3)There's too much control in control decks. Tickatus can and probably will destroy important piece. If it doesn't, then warlock has so much control between nether, hysteria, cascading, along with making additional copies of some of them, that you won't last long. Had multiple games where a warlock played 4 hysterias in a single turn. And god forbid if you fight a control priest where they'll be discovering board clears constantly. Had 1 easily clear 8 boards of clowns. There's just not enough board pressure in this deck to empty the control out of any control deck's hand. Plus you've got absolutely nothing to stop OTK DK.
Damn. Where to begin digesting your lack of understanding of the deck...
1. Did you just complain about sometimes having the cards you need at the bottom of your deck? Are you aware that applies to every deck in the game? Sometimes [in literally every card game in existence] the things you need are at the bottom... if you aren't drawing, you're playing the deck incorrectly. Obviously you did not play enough games because as shown in competitive against top 200 legend players in my videos and ranked ladder AND THL Pro this deck has seen tremendous success. I'm assuming you are an extremely inexperienced or low ranked player.
2. Did you just say brawl is useless against most decks? LOL. I have never seen a more misleading comment on Hearthpwn - and there are a lot of them here. Do you not play against Paladins? Druids? Rush Warriors? Hunters? Rancor is arguably the strongest card in the deck and your complaint is that it is weak against 1 class. Mage is hardly even seen at the top, as it gets decimated by a bunch of way better decks right now. Rancor is best and sometimes the only way to survive against aggro and you are out here complaining that it is bad against mage. Rofl.
3. If you lost to control priest, you are quite literally telling me you have no idea how to play this deck. Myself and some of my teammates have been using this deck and in about 20 games we've lost to priest 2 times. The write up literally says tick lock is a tough matchup and you are complaining about being milled and losing cards. Do you realize that literally all control decks lose to tick? That is the point.... this deck obviously doesn't beat OTK DH... if you didn't know that going into this.... oh boy..
I think you need to re-evaluate your understanding of the meta / decks and learn to actually play the deck correctly before discouraging others from playing it. Considering I posted less than 1 day ago, there is a 0% chance you know how to play the deck well and you certainly cannot have played enough games.
Good luck.

Here's a link to a clip from yesterday to disprove your lack of understanding. Me beating and needing brawl/rancor to win against a mage.
How does this deck do against Soullock? It is the control deck to beat, right?
I assume you're referring to Tick Lock and it's a tough one. I'd say it's about a 50/50. You want to keep the Clowns and Y'Sh most of the time in this matchup- if they get milled, you lose. If you're holding a clown you probably want to keep a bulk up if offered as well. You need at least 6 clowns most of the time to win. It's winnable, but tough.
This deck slaps. Can't even think of a way to improve it. What are some cards that you have considered along the way? I was looking at Venomous Scorpid for a long time.
Thank you for the kind words! If you play this deck right, it is the NUTS. I've tried using Feat of Strength, a second Minefield, the Scrap Golem for armor / survivability, etc. All kinds of combos. This exact list feels most effective IMO. -1 Taelan +1 Minefield is strong against aggro (especially aggro paladin), but I've found that most of the time you really want to just power through and draw cards as fast as you can. The sooner you start Clowning, the BETTER! Good luck, hmu if you have more questions!
this deck works fine for me too. Thankz for it
As a top 200 player I can confirm this deck is very strong
The best deck around, this deck let me sleep on the couch then gave me $300 to get back on my feet. This deck saved a stranded kitten from a tree while simultaneously solving world peace. This deck smells of fresh cookies and pecan pie.
