I played only this deck this season, and it took about 16 hours to hit Legend.

Mulligan Guide:

I suggest you take a look at my VODs to see how I mulligan with this deck. The most important aspect is of mulliganing with this deck is to try to keep the cards necessary to have a good mana curve. (example: 1-2-3 or coin into 2-2-3) The deck wins on tempo, and is at its best when it uses its early mana as efficiently as possible, so that it can keep a solid lead into the mid and lategame.

Your first goal with mulliganing is to have some early plays, so always keep: All 1~2 cost minions

If you already have a 1 or 2 cost minion, then you can look to keep the following cards in certain matchups:

Against Hunter: Keep Frostbolt, primarily to deal with their Knife Juggler and establish board control.

Against Hunter, Druid, Priest, Warlock, and Warrior: KeepFlamecannon, usually to protect your 1 or 2 drop from their early minions.

In every matchup except Hunter, keep Water Elemental, as it is just a very efficient 4 drop to follow up your early 1-2 drops.

 

Match-ups:

70% winrate against Freeze mage

60% winrate against Druid, Hunter, Aggro Paladin, Rogue, Shaman,Handlock, Grim Patron Warrior & Control Warrior

50% winrate against Midrange Paladin, Malygos Warlock and Dragon Warrior

40% winrate against Priest

30% winrate against Zoo

 

Potential card changes: If you feel Dr. Boom is too weak to Big Game Hunter, and you're seeing a lot of that around, you can switch it for a Troggzor the Earthinator, as it can help you solidify a board position once you've taken the early lead. If you don't have Toshley, I would recommend Ragnaros the Firelord or Sneed's Old Shredder as a replacement, and if you have neither of those, you can put Loatheb in that slot. .

Please enjoy my deck and good luck on the ladder!
