I really wanted to come up with a way to use Core Rager, and tbh I don't think there's any other deck that can use it as well as this one. And I'm still only using one copy!

So, what is this deck exactly? Well, it's a Hobgoblin-deck. Which means, it runs a lot of cheap minions! Which means, it runs out of cards very quickly!

Enter: Core Rager. With this deck, the Core Rager is very often going to come out as a 7/7.

Now you may ask: "But won't I just run out of cards and lose lol?". That's a very valid question, but this deck does have its draw engines. First of all, there's the Mad Scientist who helps thinning out the deck. Secondly, there's the Quick Shots, which will almost  always draw you a card in this deck. Then there's one Jeeves in the deck, which is usually fantastic, and as a bonus it can get buffed by Hobgoblin. And finally, one of the core cards of the deck:

Gnomish Experimenter!

Why Gnomish Experimenter? Well, first of all, it's really solid card draw for it's cost. But wait, there's more! You know the Chicken you get if you draw a minion? Yeah, it has 1 attack. So basically, as long as you have Hobgoblin, it will either draw one of your spells or Eaglehorn Bows, or it will draw you a 1 mana 3/3!

This is a really hillarious spin on the whole face Hunter thing, imo. I won't guarantee it will take you to legend or something, but it's not entirely terrible. Of course this deck can suffer greatly from bad draws, and it can also run out of steam quickly, but it also has the potential to totally wreck people.

Now, for cards I didn't include, the first one people will ask about is probably Webspinner. I mean, it's a pretty solid 1/1 for 1, and it has a deathrattle to synergize with Undertaker. This is true, but it also doesn't help you when trying to dump your hand. If you get a beast that costs 4 or more, it will become difficult to use Core RagerQuick Shot and Jeeves to their full potential. I wouldn't say that Webspinner is necessarily terrible for this deck, but atm I'm trying to play without it.

Then there's a bunch of other 1-attack cards that I don't have here, but most suck. I'm not saying that the cards I have in the deck right now are necessarily good, but at least they synergize with the deck.

I haven't played much with this yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are better variations, but so far it has been great fun.
