First off, shout out to JDragon1. While testing his deck http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/81396-season-8-tauntadin-gvg-updates#c253 I have steadily been making changes and have inevitably made this deck and while I think it is sufficiently different, I may not have reached this point without it.

It's framework is complete, but there are several substitutions I plan to try and I would greatly appreciate help in doing so. What I came to find that JDragon's deck is just too slow right now with Zoo still out there in force plus Mechwarper decks and mage's Unstable Portal (seriously screw that card) This is an attempt to scew things a bit more early game while still maintaining a strong end game.

The goal is to make use of your cards that get replaced by new cards along with your taunt givers to keep a strong board presence,

Staple Cards

Zombie Chow is probably the best turn 1/2 drop in the game. Yes I know at first glance the down side seems a bit high, but honestly getting these things out turn 1-3 can put you so far ahead that the 10 health won't matter.

Acolyte of Pain is for card draw. Along with Aldor Peacekeeper making 1 attack minions and Wild Pyromancer, you should average 2 cards per.

Lil' Exorcist is a strong middle finger to those friendly neighborhood Zoo and Hunter decks running Undertaker and is a decent  taunt creature against anything since very few decks don't run any deathrattle.

Piloted Shredder, Piloted Sky Golem, Sneed's Old ShredderSludge Belcher Cairne Bloodhoof and usually Sylvanas Windrunner are all cards that replace themselves when destroyed ensuring you have something to drop your Defender of Argus on.

Withe the amount of silence/poly/hex bait that precedes him, you have a good chance that Tirion Fordring will have a chance to shine at his brightest.

 Possible Changes

-1 Sunfury Protector and -1 Wild Pyromancer

+2 Unstable Ghoul

-1 Truesilver Champion +1 Coghammer

-1 Tirion Fordring +1 Guardian of Kings(this is if you find yourself needing some health late game more than another taunt or if you don't have Tirion)

Dr. Boom can be run over the other legends as well if you so choose as you can taunt up the Boom Bots and your opponent will get punished for killing them.

-1 Aldor Peacekeeper and -1 Stampeding Kodo

+1 Earthen Ring Farseer and +1 Bolvar Fordragon( I wouldn't do this and change Tirion for Gaurdian. If You do this and don't have Tirion, you can sub Dr. Boom.
