Peak Rank: 335 NA Legend, Season 10

Mission Statement:  Play progressively stronger deathrattle minions and build your board.  Then switch gears and end the game with Savage Roar, Cenarius, or Kel'Thuzad.

The Story:  My first reasonable deck, back before I had many rares let alone epics and legendaries, was a Warlock deck with minion summoners like Razorfen Hunter and Silver Hand Knight.  The idea was that it took simply too many actions to keep up with your board, and eventually you would overrun them.  The strategy is of course weak to AoE, but the Warlock hero power somewhat made up for that.  This unfortunately is not really a viable deck at the high level, but the concept of having minions that simply take your opponent too many actions to handle is back with GvG.  This time the summoning is delayed on a deathrattle so that even AoE is mitigated.  Druid is the platform because of its finishing potential with Savage Roar and Cenarius, which specifically take advantage of your expansive board.  We still have all the great deathrattle minions and Undertaker from Naxx, but we also have some great new deathrattle minion summoners in GvG: Piloted Shredder and Piloted Sky Golem.  This is really a tempo deck, so you should take advantage of the smooth curve and Innervate to build bigger and bigger threats and control the board until you can see the finish line in site.  Then switch gears and finish them.

Undertaker Nerf:  This deck is headed for some change with the incoming nerf.  I have a feeling Undertaker will no longer be good enough to justify its spot, but there are plenty of cards waiting to take its place.  I've been experimenting with Power of the Wild for the versatility of another early minion or taking advantage of a large board.

Mulligan Guide:  

Always keep: Innervate, Undertaker, Haunted Creeper, Harvest Golem.
Wrath: Keep against all but Druid and Warrior
Keeper of the Grove:  Keep against Hunter, Mage, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior
Piloted Shredder:  Keep against Druid, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, and Warrior
Swipe: Keep against Hunter, Mage, Paladin, and Warlock.
Sludge Belcher:  Keep against Hunter, Mage, and Warlock. 

I wouldn't keep anything else.  Ultimately though, playing minions of curve is what is best, so deviate from the above plan when it helps you better achieve this goal.

 Matchups:

Overall this deck has a 62% winrate in ranks 1-5.  Here are the stats for individual matchups where the "Other" category consists of decks I faced fewer than 5 times.  They are listed from statistically strongest to statistically weakest.

Rogue: 6/7, 86% (a mech, a couple miracle, and the rest were something else I didn't recognize)
Zoo: 4/5, 80%
Control Warrior:  4/6, 67%
Midrange Paladin: 13/20, 65%
Other: 12/20, 60%
Mech Mage: 3/5, 60%
Aggro Hunter: 20/34, 59% (a few were face, but most were deathrattle)
Handlock: 3/6, 50%
Ramp Druid: 4/9, 44% (only taunt variety listed here; I went 1/4 against the faster combo variant)
