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:
You can try 2x Worgen Infiltrator and 1x Lava Shock, but you might see very different results as they are the core of this deck and aren't really replaceable as such.
Thanks for reply, and i know that are core cards but, i need to farm gold, and i will not play ranked with it unless i farm troggs and legendary..
Nice deck btw
This deck is too broken, I was playing slow decks and kept facing reaaally greedy decks so I decided I had enough and tried this, went from rank 10 to rank 5 with just 1 loss.
ATM it is not T1 it is S Tier (Super Tier above all the Tier One decks), but IDK if that will change and when, if you want to save your dust just go for 1 flame juggler instead, it should be quite fine.
I would suggest waiting until the meta calms down a bit and the real competitive decks separate themselves from the rest - which is not obvious to see right now.
You could just substitute it for a Lava Shock.
not working, horrible deck
It's the player, not the deck
I picture you getting into a car, crashing it into your own garage, and then calling the manufacturer to complain about how terribly they designed the car.
Not really, this is after all a face deck, you would want the cards you suggested in a slightly more midrange version of the deck.
what should i replace sir finley and tunnel trogg with? i don't have LoE
for Sir Finley Mrrgglton you can take every card u want cause it's technically not replaceable.
If you want to play this deck you should consider crafting golden troggs (I don't know if you can do that if you don't have LoE). As for sir finley, just put Either 1 or 2 drop worgen or rly anything you like.
absolutely no point in playing face shaman without finley or trogg, those 2 cards are face shaman lol.
its like trying to play cthun druid without actually putting in cthun whats the point?
What makes Finley so irreplaceable?
Finley gives you a much better hero power, totems are too slow. Troggs are insane too, they can give you so much damage if they're not answered early
Deck looks nice. But I wonder why you dont use Lava Shock?
I was thinking about it, but haven't seen the need for it so far.
To slow
If you start encountering a lot of zoo on your rank go for it.
