Deck Guide
Introduction: This is a fast pace aggro deck that uses secrets and low cost minions to come out quick and gain board control. Often you will go for the face, but on occasion you may need to trade for board presence. This is not as often as you would think because your secrets will protect your low health minions on the board.
Initial mulligan: Most often you will want to ditch anything over a 3 except for Divine Favor . Because you are playing fast most of the time you will need to get card draw and this allows you to get 3-5 cards if played correctly to continue the fast pace of play.
Normally I will want to keep only 1 secret also due to the fact that Mad Scientist proc will be useless if you play all your secrets prior to to playing the Mad Scientist.
Often I may keep a Muster for Battle and a Knife Juggler if I have a 3rd card that I know I can play round 1. The key is to flood the board early, but then make sure you can keep up the pressure after your opponent AOEs.
As far as specific mulligans vs specific classes goes nothing really changes for this deck.
Opening Moves: Your opening move with this deck is dictated by how you can keep that character on the board as long as possible. Playing a Knife Juggler round 2 by itself may not be too bad if you have Noble Sacrifice out on turn 1. I like this combo a lot because not only do they think they can get an easy kill on your Knife Juggler, but then you proc the Juggler with the secret and do even more damage and sometimes kill the attacker and you get another minion 2/1 on the board. Be warned against classes like mages and locks and other situations they may just kill it with a spell which does us no good!
Deck Synergy: is based on Undertaker and the death rattle minions, but this is not always the case with a bad draw.
Other basic combos are Knife Juggler & Muster for Battle or Knife Juggler & minion death rattles.
The 4 secrets in the deck allow for protection and help you gain board presence with all of the low cost cards. Baron Rivendare, which I just recently added makes mid game much more favorable and can push you over the top in a close game.
On a side note make sure you always take into account how many minions you have on the board and the associated death rattles. This can cause of loss of minions if the board fills up or not being able to play certain combos. With Baron Rivendare your board can be very full at times.
Edit 7/27:
I made a decision to remove Shieldbearer and try out Sylvanas Windrunner may play well with the death rattle. Will update accordingly with proper results.
Sylvanas Windrunner just seems to be too high of a mana cost to keep the deck moving forward at an aggressive place. In later rounds the cost is ok, but at that point board control should be accomplished or you should of already won so she is not needed based on my games played.

I gotta say, I don't love it.
Getting Rivendare to work is trying with an aggressive deck. Often times, my DR are triggered before he comes out, or he's quickly killed by my opp.
It also runs out of steam HARD in the late game, even more so than most aggro decks. Went 2-6 with this deck. I generally do well with aggro decks, but couldn't make this one work!
I am sorry the deck did not work for you.
Some thoughts based on your post. I never keep Baron Rivendare on a drawn, nor do I plan to need him. He is an added bonus mid game. I utilize him by playing him while I have deathrattle minions on the board then I attack with the minions. i.e. play Baron Rivendare then attack with Leper Gnome. Now I get 2x deathrattle. Same goes with other minions as well.
As an aggro deck I play it as such, but Baron Rivendare just adds some added fun mid game, but not always.

whats a good sub for equality? i dont have it. lol
The problem with changing out Equality is that is is very powerful for board control. Maybe Avenging Wrath but it would not work as well. Maybe Ironbeak Owl for its ability to bypass a taunt. I would recommend you craft at least one. Once you play it in combination with Consecration you will be very happy.
This deck is garbage against Face Hunter. Don't play it in ranked if you intend on moving up the ladder at all.
Strongly disagree. It has been proven to move well into ranks 5-1. I personally just won 8 games in a row last night. I am sorry for your experience, but please feel free to ask any questions that I may be able to assist with.

how about add boom to this deck?
Again this is aggro deck from my experience playing this deck at turn 7 if you need to drop Dr. Boom you are not in very good shape.
At a 5 cost Quartermaster slows the deck down too much. Your focus is low cost minions, not always your hero power.

Please feel free to experiment with it. I would be interested in your results, but my first reaction would be it is too slow for the deck

Fantastic budget deck!! I've been playing f2p for 3 months and I've been averaging rank 14, highest previous was rank 12 and I got to rank 9 with this!!
Great feedback! Glad you like the deck.

Different type of aggro pally I like it :p ! The Undertaker and Shieldbearer are interesting adds to this deck! Thanks for sharing this with the HS community and here's some of my gameplay with the deck :D !
Thanks for the video! Glad you like it!!!
You're very welcome :3 !
I have used this deck to get up to ~rank 7 on the ladder. I feel I could push it farther, but I have not yet. I have friends that have played it successfully between ranks 5 through 2.
