2016/10/07 Update: I streamed with the deck for about an hour tonight to a 6-2 record. Here are the VODs and stats. I think I like these 30 for now.

2016/10/04 Update: I cut one CotW and Sylvanas for 2nd Bow and Rag. Although CotW is still super explosive, you're not guaranteed to live to turn 9, and having two of these in hand anytime before then is devastating. Because we're not as bursty anymore, I added the second Bow to give us an extra 3-drop, and help control the early game board. I'm 7-2 with the list so far, with the games played at rank 15 and 16. 

I will stream some games with the deck on 2016/10/04 at 10pm EST @ twitch.tv/kirrrbbby

Hi guys. I'm a former Magic the Gathering pro turned Hearthstone streamer/grinder. I threw together this deck as a joke, played a few games at dumpster ranks and started 3-0, before shelving it for a while. Had some run bads at around rank 9, and decided to give the deck another shot. Wound up on a 11-1 heater to rank 5. Most of the games were played on stream, here are the VODs.

Here are my stats over 15 games:

Version 1.0 was with +1 Huge Toad, -1 Huhuran
Version 1.1 was with +1 Huge Toad, -1 Sylvanas
Version 1.2 -1 N'Zoth, +1 Dr. Boom

If this gets any traction, I'll definitely take the time to go over all the cards in the deck and the mulligans. In short:

1. Keep only 2s and 3s, always mull freezing trap unless you have a very very very compelling reason that I haven't thought of. You can keep a 4 if you have the coin and already have plays for turns 2 and 3.

2. N'Zoth is maybe a little loose. You really don't need it in a deck with 2x CotW. Might cut for 2nd Unleash is I start to face a lot of aggro. (I'm running Dr. Boom now. Tried 2nd Unleash, but didn't like it.)

3. The Huhuran is experimental, and have been decent so far. The body on the princess is pretty strong, so even when the battlecry doesn't do something amazing, it's not bad. I've considered Feign Death, but it probably just makes you more susceptible to AoE without doing much else for you.

4. Barnes is nuts.

5. Dr. Boom should maybe be in the deck, but the curve is already quite high, so I'm not sure what the cut would be. Maybe the N'Zoth *shrug*. It would significantly increase the odds of Barnes whiffing. (There are only two other whiffs).

6. If you face a lot of Zoo and Secret Paladin, you'll want the 2nd Unleash the Hounds.
