I created this deck based on meta and it has great survivability and board clear. I really only lost to Sif mage and I lost to Demon Hunter once. As long as you know what you are looking for when discovering cards based on what class you are against. 

Basic Mulligan: Mining Casualties, Down with the Ship, Frost Strike, Crop Rotation, Dirty Rat, Acolyte of Death

Any of those work for a basic opening hand. 

More Specific Mulligans: 

Warrior/Demon Hunter: Runes of Darkness this should always be in opening hand and searching for Quartzite Crusher, Dirty Rat is your second main tool in this match up trying to hit their Odyn, Prime Designate or Window Shopper to negate their main source of damage. Plagues will also keep Reno, Lone Ranger at bay

Warlock: Not necessary for opening hand but you need to grab these ASAP. Helya and Down with the Ship these are your key to winning against Wheel of DEATH!!! with those cards you can shuffle 14 damage in plagues and another 6 to face after their deck is destroyed.

Mage: they are honestly in a weird place right now but most common is Sif mage. Honestly going face is a bad match up for anyone, but your best defense is Dirty Rat to try and hit their Sif or some run Puzzlemaster Khadgar also a good hit. Rustrot Viper is a good one to look for by turn 5 or 6 to get rid of Magic Wisdomball tissue can be a real annoyance. 

Aggro: Any basic board clear will do, your most effective cards are probably gonna be Threads of Despair or Sickly Grimewalker paired with Crop Rotation or Mining Casualties and Hero Power.

Other DK: Their are a few different variations of DK going around and it is sometimes hard to pin exactly what to try for in opening hand. From my experience it is always really back and forth. DK has good healing, but unless they are playing pure Blood it is decently inconsistent. So stacking plagues is a good strategy and as much healing in reserve as you can. Maw and Paw is always good in Mulligan for this match up, either causing them to blow their early game board clear or giving you a descent health or corpse advantage. The key to going against other DK is to try your best to keep your The Primus and Reska, the Pit Boss for after they use theirs.

Zilliax: (Removed)

Things to keep in mind: The Headless Horseman also kills your opponents highest attack minion when played, also you lose the ability to kamikaze your hero power with Threads of Despair. You do not run the weapons Quartzite Crusher or Staff of the Primus so when using Runes of Darkness these are commonly your best options. When using Hematurge, Corpse Explosion is a valuable option because it not only boosts Climactic Necrotic Explosion but is a powerful board clear. Lastly Marrow Manipulator when using Frost Strike is a great discovery, it boosts Climactic Necrotic Explosion and also is 10 to the face on a clear board.
