Some of these cards are pretty self explanatory and even new players will guess what they can be used for such as Northshire Cleric, Velen's Chosen etc.
I'll get in on some cards and their advantages in this specific deck starting with...
Excavated Evil! Some new players might think:"WOW! Why would I give a board clear to my opponent and pay 5 mana for it?! That's just crazy!"
NOPE!
As Kripp himself explained, imagine yourself playing against aggro decks such as Shaman, Paladin or Hunter, these decks don't really use board clears and a board clear that does damage even to your OWN minions is just absurd to have. Excavated Evil also denies them in that matter a card draw, its almost like they didn't even draw on their turn if they get Excavated Evil, so I believe this card is absolutely overpowered when it comes to destroying aggro decks!
Deathlord! Absolutely destroys aggro decks, even if some new players are skeptical on why would you give opponent a free minion, just from my experience 8 times out of 10, you will give them only something like a Leper Gnome. Since you're playing a CONTROL deck, Deathlord is absolutely necessary.
Justicar Trueheart! Really? You don't think healing for 4 hp is reasonable? I've played 21 games without Justicar Trueheart, just because I didn't have crafted it at the time. My win percentage was at 71% or 15 wins and 6 losses. This deck is playable without it, understand that, but this card really makes your life much easier. After playing 12 games with Justicar Trueheart my win percentage rose to 83% or 10 wins and 2 losses. This card is really OP when it comes to control, and I think you should definitely craft it.
MULLIGAN
From BEST to WORST
Zombie Chow, Deathlord, Northshire Cleric.
Are absolute best!
Shadow Madness, Shrinkmeister, Shadow Word: Pain
Are absolute average!
Power Word: Shield and Velen's Chosen
Are absolute optimal-in-some-situations-but-usually-bad!
Since on demand I played 10 games on Ranks 15-11 (which is average range most people play on) just to show you how well I could match up against the meta.
As you can tell, it goes pretty good with 9 out of 10 games won.
Average time played from 10 games is 10.1 minutes.
Average turns you'll be playing is 16.6 turns.
10 games is not a enough to make a right call on stats, but we can see here that 75-90% win percentage with this deck is absolutely possible. I myself have NEVER been Legend rank, so someone who has might have even better plays with this deck.
This deck is really hard to get going in the early game if you don't get a good mulligan. Many times I've had to hold on to Shadow Madness to trade early minions to get the mid-game without loosing. This deck absolutely crushes the late game. I don't have Justicar Trueheart or Cabal Shadow Priest, which forces me to make less that ideal trades in order to go even. I believe I could outlast an armor warrior in the late game with them. The amount of board wipes and minion manipulation is pretty absurd. They drop a Dr. Boom and some tokens, answer with Lightbomb. Need to clear some minions while avoiding lethal? Just drop a double Holy Nova (I run two). After I craft the last two cards I'll update but this deck looks promising thus far. (Rank 15-12)
Zombie Chow and Northshire Cleric are really important in the mulligan, glad to see you enjoying the deck so far, it's much fun :b
Once again, this style decks have existed before and there's lots of them.
I just started playing this season so I'm currently on Rank 10 and EU :D
I didn't have enough dust to craft Cabal Shadow Priest, I think a suitable replacement is Mind Control Tech
I used Mind Control, for many of these replacements, it works in this deck since you clear the board often, and it's good against other Control decks. Have fun!
