Generally mulligan for 1, 2 drops.

1 drop priority: Argent Squire, Leper Gnome, Southsea Deckhand

2 drop priority: Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler

 

Class specific mullgians:

Hunter: Argent Squire, Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler, Ironbeak Owl.
King Mukla if it's handlock 100%.

 

Hunter match up is 50/50, it really depends on who has better starting hand. Try to go for the board clear in first 3-4 turns and then go race for the face afterwards with smart trades if necessary. Normally keep Ironbeak Owl for deathrattles like Mad Scientist.

 

Warlock:  Either handlock or zoo. Argent Squire, Leper Gnome, Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler, Ironbeak Owl.

 

Ironbeak Owl is used to silence the Nerubian Egg in zoo match up. We need to go for the board for the first 3-4 turns and rush down the face in zoo match up as they will overwhelm the board very quickly with cards like Imp-losion and low cost minions.

 

In handlock, they always expect midrange/control paladin and will mulligan accordingly. So it is very unlikely for them to have Molten Giants and Hellfire. So the strategy here is to face only.

 

Warrior: Either control or grim. Argent Squire, Leper Gnome, Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler.

 

Remove early minions such as Armor Smith and Cruel Taskmaster without giving him too much armor. No need to silence them. Keep silence for Sludge Belcher.

 

Warrior match up is unfavored as they can stablise quickly with armor and weapons, but sometimes they have awful starting hand which you can punish them with aggro!

 

Rogue: Argent Squire, Leper Gnome, Shielded Minibot.

 

Rogue is pretty easy unless he has perfect hand with answer every turn. Most rogue does not run taunts so Ironbeak Owl can be used to silence Violet Teacher or Bloodmage Thalnos. 

 

Careful with heals as many rogue runs 1 x Earthen Ring Farseer and 1 x Antique Healbot, so calculate the lethal damage with those heals in mind if pushing for damage.

 

Also, try to use Muster for Battle after they use Fan of Knives

 

These were my 90% of my match ups during the climb. But, if you want to see mulligan guide for other match ups, just comment or ask me.

Possible replacements

Leeroy Jenkins: Arcane Golem or Avenging Wrath. However, Leeroy Jenkins is a very good finisher and even more deadly if combined with Blessing of Might and/or Blessing of Kings.

 

King Mukla: It's a very unique card but if replacement is required I suggest other early aggro cards like Dancing Swords it has similar synergy with Divine Favor. Orge Brute may be also used.

Try to put Blessing of Might and Blessing of Kings on divine shielded minions as it will cost a lot of mana for opponent to deal with.

 

A great finisher can be Leeroy Jenkins with Blessing of Might or Blessing of Kings if mana is allowed. Or Southsea Deckhand with weapon up plus the buffers like Blessing of Might and/or Abusive Sergeant

 

Good drawing tactic or getting value for Divine Favor: Use King Mukla and Divine Favor  on the following turn or same turn if mana is allowed.

 

Never keep Divine Favor in starting hand.

 

If Southsea Deckhand is only 1 drop in hand without Coin, just summon it. Same with Abusive Sergeant. But with Coin, coin out the 2 drops you have except Ironbeak Owl obviously. If no 2 drops with Coin, you can choose to summon 1 drop or pass the turn.
