Introduction
This deck is a hybrid between a mech-rush deck and a midrange deck thanks to hobgoblin. Most cards are minions with a mana cost between 0 and 3. This is still theorycraft though. Any suggestions are welcome to improve this deck. I have tried to implement Jeeves and even Coldlight Oracle for draw mechanics in case you do not get a hobgoblin. The problem with this deck is that if you do not get a Hobgoblin in the first 8 turns or so, you are kinda screwed. Therefore, I made this a lock deck. Not only can you lifetab, but you also get Voidwalker for example, which makes a great combo with Hobgoblin.
General tactics
There are a few taunt units in the game. Do not play Hobgoblin if you cannot protect it. I always wait till I know the opponent cannot destroy it in his turn or if I can already get value out of Hobgoblin. This usually results in me waiting for a good combo in my hand but there are many good combinations to play. Turn 4 or 6 can be beautiful if you have the right cards.
Synergy
The synergy in this deck can be found between all the mech units and hobgoblin and 1-attack units. The combinations of cards is what makes this deck strong. Although it has potential, I would call it a very fun deck to play, not legend material. Here are some examples:
Examples
Turn 3 can be an amazing with this combination:
Hobgoblin + Wisp + Wisp
In case you have a coin, but no wisps you can also:
Hobgoblin + Voidwalker
Turn 4 with coin could be:
Hobgoblin + Annoy-o-Tron
Other combinations that are amazing are:
Hobgoblin + Echoing Ooze
Hobgoblin + Flying Machine
Hobgoblin + Gnomeregan Infantry
Of course, there are also all the combinations with all the mech units but I will not mention them here, as most people already know these combinations.
Youtube Channel
I made a video about this deck, the explanation, theorycrafting, existing examples and gameplay. I would love to hear what you might think about this deck and how it can be improved.
Hey Morpheus! I am a demolock who loved your WoW stuff and always appreciated what you did for us on your channel! Glad to see you on Hearthstone now. I think this deck is a lot of fun. I know this doesn't fit with your mechno-theme, but I have had some fun putting an Angry Chicken or two in here. The Hobgoblin's +2/+2 make them 3/3 with +5 enrage. They can survive a Pali Consecration and end up being 8/1 after that. The bonus is seeing the Angry Chickens tearing-up the opponent and his/her minions :-) This totally adds to the "shock and awe with low cost cards" nature of this deck.
Nice gimmick deck. If you don't draw hobgoblin in your first 7-8 cards, concede.
