This deck utilizes the very powerful Barnes and the many deathrattles to control the board.

Why no Grommash Hellscream or Cairne Bloodhoof? Because we are trying to utilize Barnes effectively. Grommash Hellscream was simply too slow and our own cards would never activate his enrage. Cairne Bloodhoof was also too slow and not defensive enough, so Abomination is better in this aggro meta. Note: if you are facing more control than aggro put Cairne Bloodhoof back in.

Most control decks have been using Tinkmaster Overspark instead of Barnes, but in this meta he tended to hurt us more than help us. We could never cast him on an empty board, which you can do with Barnes most of the time. We were using him mainly against C'Thun, which is pretty uncommon now.

The math behind Barnes:

8 out of our 14 minions are good if summoned by Barnes, giving us a 57% chance. Those minions being Loot Hoarder (2), Infested Tauren (2), Abomination, Sylvanas Windrunner, Baron Geddon, and Ragnaros the Firelord. Getting one of these cards early can be devastating and can win games outright.

My win rate has been very good with this deck, especially in this Hunter, Mage, and Priest heavy meta. I will make a bigger guide if this gets more votes. Thanks.
