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:
This deck is an auto-lose against every druid with a decent curve, and every zoo since you don't have anything to clear the board and they can flood it every turn.
Edit : I just made 20 games with the deck. I had ancestral in starting hand for 17 games, and only saw Trogg before turn 2 in 4 games... I hard-mulliganed for it every game and discard my ancestral each time. But .. no.
You can't do sh*t if blizzard doesn't want you to have good draws.
First time legend with this deck, thank you, Saranjivac!
Glad to hear it!
Any tips against priest?
Focus slightly more on board control and hope they don't heal 2x for 10 :D I am working on a new video that has a good match vs c'thun priest, you should watch it after I finish it, it was a super tough match and can give you some insight into what to do against priest.
That's basically it. Pray for RNGesus every game and hope your opponent don't topdeck taunts or aoe.
I just made 6 games where I had like Doomhammer/ancestral/faceless each time in starting hand, even with hard mulligan for 1 drops. But ... rngesus wasn't with me.
I lose with this deck at rank 17. I am an outstanding Hearthstone player, clearly, so the fault obviously lies with the deck and not RNG or my ability to analyze situations and predict outcomes. I feel that after a total of 6 games, I can unequivocally state this deck is horrible as it did not do what it was guaranteed to do which was catapult me to legend in 30 minutes.
It's not a bad deck, but it's not broke or OP. People are teching in a lot more hard removals in the meta. It probably only appeared broken during the heavy desk testing phase.
That was sarcasm my friend
His sarcasm has a point (as it always does), and I'm talking to that point.
Was the sarcasm really not apparent?
Have you tried that new weapon from whispers? Looks super good to me
too slow in my opinion... besides you dont need other weapons than 2 doomhammers
Not for this deck, maybe for midrange.
Too slow? It does 4 damage/turn, just like doom hammer. And you can combo the 2nd hit into doom hammer for 6 damage that turn+ a 4/2. It fits the deck pretty good. I didn't have a 2nd doom hammer so it's a good replacement in the least.
as a replacement for doomhammer maybe, but I would not run three weapons of cost 5... and doomhammer is still much better
Yo yo, dudes. I made a video about this deck. A deck that is broken, now with such a deck, you usually can easily see when you are going to win or lose a game, it's about tempo and ... top decks. Generally if your opponent goes crazy with armor or board clears, you might find trouble, but overall it does pretty good in the meta, especially when shamans are that op now. Check out my video and leave a comment or two.
great accent :D that priest game was sick
Man, I should become a radio host, a lot of people commenting on my accent :D. Thanks for the comment.
Haven't played ranked this season, rank 19-12 in an hour...awesome deck! Feeling like facetard when playing this is the only disadvantage...
