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)

wow ok its just not working, i went from rank 14 to rank 19
It's you not the deck.
Actually I had the same experience today. Can't seem to win a single game with this deck.
Yeah I didnt badmouth the deck, but I guess people are just natural douche bags, it just didnt work for me
how do you keep board control? Ive played a couple games with it and the opponent always get ahead of my board because my minions are small and easy to kill, and no removal
This deck is bonkers. Currently 22-8 with this, no modifications currently. It struggles with decks that can out value you, but there are draws that are instant wins if unanswered.

Nice, this deck is only 2 cards off what my original standard face shaman was, I ran Flame Juggler instead of Argent Squire and Lava Shock instead of Eternal Sentinel. I do like these choices though, seems a lot more consistent for holding board control. I also agree that this deck is very strong. Seems like if your opponents can't control your insane board they instantly lose, and even if they do get a board they can just get bursted down. C'thun driud and priest seem to be the main problem since they can handle your board and a turn 7 Twin Emperor Vek'lor can be devastating, but almost no other deck can keep up with this one.
i am trying most of the decks, and this is the best for ranking right now. its fast and strong. only zoo is problem good job and thanks for share
"this decks incredibly streaky" which roughly translates to 'you gonna go on a massive phukking losing streak and wonder in perplex as how this guy got to legend with this deck" gg
Jumped five ranks a day or two ago, haven't won a match today.
Was working well about a day ago, but has completely laid down today. Seems there are more than a few bad match-ups.
I'm not having any problems with it atm, some druids having perfect cards can be a problem but other than that I think I went 9-2 today.
Same, I just hit rank 7 with 14 wins in a row ^_^
This deck is amazing, I went from 3.2k legend to #83 legend over the past few hours of the season on NA. Awesome list, thanks a lot for it!
Very glad to hear that! :)
You still going to write a matchup/mulligan guide? you got over 100 likes on this list
The meta is shifting drastically, I'm pushing for fast legend this season and after I see how to play vs all the new decks I will post something for sure. Might even change few cards around (add back the flame jugglers) to counter the zoo that is on the rise.
hey guys i got a noob question, in the video, what app did he use for the top left that records the opponent card?
Thank you!
anyone?
