***I'm currently in the works of writing a Guide Series/Small Book called: From Novice To Expert - Learning Hearthstone Rankedwhich focuses on educating newer and veteran players alike about getting into competitive Hearthstone. It mostly will be filled with Terminology, Deck Archetypes, Meta Gaming, and more. Feel free to like my Facebook page for updates on the progress!***


A Little About Me

I am a 17x Legend Player with 2x Top 100 finishes who goes by the battletag WingsOfWax or WingsOfWaxIII on other social media (FacebookTwitter, Tumblr, Twitch, and YouTube). I have over 15+ Years of Magic: The Gathering Experience, but as of the release of Hearthstone: Beta been converted to this new and exciting card game.

Over the past year, I have been creating videos, articles, and casting live streams to help educate newer players about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. As of right now, I am mostly known in the Hearthpwn.com community for creating a Naxxramas + 2,000 Dust Budget Guide 11 Deck series as well as putting Burst Rogue back into fruition.

These days I am working full time, go to school, and still create Hearthstone content whenever I find my schedule allows it. I love educating all types of players whether new or veterans about becoming a better strategy card gamer. I am creating this guide (and others) to help educate and grow the Hearthstone Community even further.


Introduction to my YouTube Channel:






Warning: This is an aggro deck. It has inconsistencies similar to any other Aggressive strategy and is not exactly straight forward to play. There is a lot (not all) of SMOrc'ing (Face is the Place) to be done, but you will have to plan out your turns according to how your hand is sculpted for optimal plays that leave you in the driver seat. Playing out this deck takes time and practice to play well and fully master, but it can be done and eventually could take you to the Legend status you desire. 


Decklists:



Legend Proof:





 Some Perks of playing this deck are:

-Killing your opponent between turns 5-7

-Aggressive Burst Minions such as Whirling Zap-o-matic & Tunnel Trogg

-Burst Spells that can deal waaaaay over 10+ damage in a single turn. 

-Learn to prioritize certain minions over others

-When planned properly, can almost always find a way to kill your opponent and figure out your outs


Card Choices:

Sir Finley Mrrgglton - This card is one of the silent MVPs in this deck. Typically this is the list in order of which you want to pick a Hero Power:

Warlock > Hunter > Druid > Mage > Paladin > Priest > Warrior > Rogue

2x Tunnel Trogg - A card that when is not answered immediately, will deal majority of the early damage you need to let your Burst Damage finish an opponent. 

1x Huge Toad - Honestly, this is just a filler card because I couldn't decide what else was needed. I knew I wanted a minion that I could cast early and get in for damage, but this could just as easily be any other early minion. I would choose between Flame Juggler or Huge Toad for this slot.

2x Ironbeak Owl - We need a way to clear the way of Taunts and Ironbeak feels much better than Earth Shock for this purpose. Being able to Silence an early problematic minion is also a bonus implication of Hoot-Hoot. 

2x Whirling Zap-o-matic - You should play this card as early as possible when you think it will get in for damage on the following turn. When unscathed, Whirling hits like a truck and starts to make that Burst Damage in your hand seem much closer to reality. 

2x Feral Spirit - These wolves help protect your early minions to generate more damage. Being two bodies that are Taunts also help in just about any opposing aggressive matchup. 

2x Doomhammer - The strongest finisher in this deck. 5 mana upfront for 16-damage over the course of 4 turns is vital to this strategy's plan. Being able to Druid Hero Power is also a bonus of Doomhammer when Sir Finley gives you the choice. 


Honorable Mentions:

Haunted Creeper - Solid early minion, but is just too slow for this style of deck. 

Flametongue Totem - Since we are not on the "Value" plan, there aren't a lot of consistent targets for Flametongue to pump up. 

Lightning Storm - Lightning Storm is a powerful card no doubt, but it takes away from our Aggressive plan. Majority of the time it's not even necessary to win your games. 

Tuskarr Totemic - Too RNG based and does not have enough impact for a 3-drop unless you get lucky. 

Hex - We have no need to transform our Taunts if we can just silence them for 1 mana less (and get a 2/1 minion out of the deal as well).

Leeroy Jenkins, Arcane Golem, & Argent Horserider - These are all solid cards that would help the strategy, however we have no room. If you really wanted to play another Burst Damage spell, cut Huge Toad for it. 

Fire Elemental, Neptulon, The Mistcaller, Al'Akir the Windlord, & Dr. Boom - Too much mana for this Aggressive Shell.


How to play the deck:

Establish an early board presence and keep pushing for Face Damage. If you have a potential high damage minion (such as Tunnel Trogg or Whirling Zap) on board you can protect it by using a spell, but I would not use too many to protect it. 

Mulligan aggressively for early minions and throw away spells.

Around turns 5-10 you will count up the burn cards in your hand and start making preparation for lethal on the following turn. 

Just about every matchup is winnable, but it mostly depends on how well positioned you are from your opponent early in the game. 



Good and Bad Matchups:

Taunt or Heal Heavy strategies are your worst enemy, but versus every other deck is a winnable matchup (if not a breeze). Just be as aggressive as possible.

Educational Fan Gameplay:



If you are looking for a deck that maximizes your time and is competitive, this is the right deck for you. The deck is also Budget Friendly and can be altered slightly depending on what your collection looks like. 


I will do my best to answer each question in the comments about swapping cards, but ultimately use your best judgement when deciding what you can substitute and what you cannot. 

Here's to hoping this deck/guide is in some way beneficial to your Grinding Experience! The deck has performed extremely well for me and won games I thought were not possible to do so.
