UPDATE FOR JULY 2016 meta:
Replace Eternal Sentinel x2 with Tuskarr Totemic x2
Replace Ancestral Knowledge x2 with Thing from Below x2
Optional: Replace Earth Shock x1 with Flame Juggler x1
INTRO:
I have tried few different decklists and changed a few cards around until I came to this version which served me very good. I went from rank 4.2k to top 100 legend in 2 days with it.
The deck is very strong for this early standard meta and I consider it S Tier (Super Tier that is above all the T1 decks out there).
As there are no more Deathlords, Sludge Belchers and Antique Healbots in standard this deck got a lot of stronger, it only lost crackes but it gained Eternal Sentinels and insane Flamewreathed Faceless! But you need to have the board when you drop it so we went for stronger early game in terms of Argent Squires and Flametongue Totems.
So all with all those changes in consideration this deck came up on top of...well every other deck out there atm. I do believe however that as the meta gets older and other decks more polished, this deck will drop down to T1.
UPDATE: Got #61 legend with it 2 days before the end of the season. (Total score is 43-15 from rank 4.2k and up).
Gameplay videos:
Here is a list of my games from today, went from 4.2k+ to rank 127 legend in a day. As you can see the deck is VERY streak-y so if you start with a losing streak don't get discouraged!
REPLACEMENTS:
-Eternal Sentinels can be replaced with Flame Jugglers.
-Sir Finley Mrrgglton can't really be replaced but if you don't have him you can try Worgen Infiltrator or a Lava Shock.
-Tunnel Troggs can maybe be replaced by Worgen Infiltrators if you absolutely have no other option, but note that the deck wont be nearly the same.
FAQ:
Q: What hero power should you be trying to get with finley?
A: Hunter usually, if you need some board control you can get the druid one (it works well with doomhammer), vs control or zoo sometimes you might want to get warlock hero power, next one is mage, then pala. You pick warrior/priest only if you are playing vs another aggro deck and you drop it late game and just need that 1 extra turn to kill your opponent.
Q: small guide please?
A: Argent squires + Abusive / Flame tongue are for early board control, you can watch the video above, I tried to include as much gameplay tips as I could.
Q: What are the cards that I should mulligan with?
A: It really depends on the matchups and if you have coin or not, but usually you keep 1 drops + abusive, totem golems, and if you have coin and play vs something like zoo or other shaman you might keep a 1 mana removal with coin.
As for doomhammer, you can keep it if you have 1+2 drop or if you are playing vs a control deck and have 1 or 2 drop, I don't recomend that you keep it if you don't have an early game minion or if you are playing vs an aggressive deck.
As you know every deck builder needs some sort of incentive, so this will be the plan:
10+ likes I will make a quick video that includes tips about the general playstyle of the deck
50+ likes I will make a list of possible replacements (those are always in high demand)
Videos that other people made:
I can still people mocking the voices that said that Standard will be an aggro-feast and much faster than wild ever was, and most people said how insane c'thun will be and how broken the druid-cards are and how much slower the game becomes...
Oh yes, we can really see how much slower the game has become, especially in standard; and the BGH-Nerfs were soo good so that defending against this 7/7 for 4 is not really possible.
Sorry that i've got out of topic, but this shows that Standard became aggro-centric.
It is slowing down tho, so much control in the meta atm.
What program do you use to calculate W/L?
Hearthstone deck tracker keeps track automatically, probably a few others too but this is the most popular one.
I feel so dirty after playing this, I'm gonna go take a shower with all the time I saved on the ladder holy crap, thx
Best deck I've ever played. Amen
I really like your deck. I always have such a fun time with them and they are really competitive. This one is no exception.
I made a video showcasing the deck in all of its glory! I hope you guys enjoy as much as I did .
replacement for Finley pls??
Read the deck description
Those are slower cards. Besides, cards in the deck have strong functional use. Troggs need to be buffed, Wolves serve function as taunts, you wont want that changed, Flamewreath isnt going to get better in any 5 mana cost card.
There is a greater chance that you will draw one than both. Your games will run to turn 7 / 8 and be decided by then based on what you have in your hand or on board already. You cant afford to only have 1-30 chance to draw such a powerful win condition in this deck.
won quite a few games by disregarding taunts with earth shock and going face... think running one is fine
stuck on rank 19 all day almost done using this deck
maybe im not using it right
i see whats happening im missing two cards i was wrong even with those two missing its holding steady need to start dusting.
Try Lava Shock (kiwiinbacon used one in his video since he didn't have 2nd Doomhammer too and it worked out for him), its not going to be as strong but its useful.
Try al akir
Try Windfury
I feel like Windfury is a very underused card which can combo really well with Flamewreathed Faceless
I like the way you think. Maybe swap it out for Earth Shock
How do you all deal with heavy taunt boards? (Mainly Druid C'thun) But my board always seems to get AoE'd to death or I get heavy taunt controlled D: Any suggestions? Or is the Meta just blocking me out?
