Sup pwn,
I used this last season to climb to rank 3, If I'd played the game more often this could reliably hit legend. Im gonna stream the list from the beginning of the season and probably till the bitter end. Feel free to drop a question in chat when I go online or just write in comments on Hpwn and I'll reply within a reasonable timespan! I'll write a full guide later on when I really get a feel for the list. So far thou, its been spectacular.

This is my latest deck, that I've been having success with. And yes, It utilizes Djinni:

Mulligans:
You will want to look for these cards and a few match specifics, but these are universaly good in 85% matches:
Barnes, Argent Squire, Worgen Infiltrator, Divine Strength, Dragon Egg
If you think your opponent plays a slower controlish deck (althou, these are not as frequent atm) you wanna hard mulligan for divine favour, which means you keep 1x one drop (it must be a minion) and Mana Addict.
Another early combo keep is also Blessing of Wisdom and Argent Squire. But only keep Blessing of Wisdom if you get Argent Squire. Worgen Infiltrator does not justify keeping Blessing of Wisdom unless you've got a copy of Divine Strength.
Now, the deal with Selfless Hero is that you can't play it early and you rarely keep it on your mulligan. The exceptions where you keep Selfless Hero are priests and occasionaly paladins.
Remember, try and keep your buff cards for Dragon Egg and dont do to many trades. Its still a tempo/aggro list with a sincere power in the late game but its all about winning board early then snowballing with Djinni of Zephyrs and Blessing of Kings.
VS warlock you also wanna keep the only weapon you have, namely Rallying Blade. But thats the only matchup where you keep it.
Blessing of Wisdom - I often forget but its important that I state how verstaile this is. An opponent can play Flame Ime T1, you play Blessing of Wisdom, flame imp is now Flame limp. Savannah Highmane is difficult to deal with occasionaly, Blessing of Wisdom can ease the tension. Mostly thou, you wanna cast that spell on your minions but keep in mind, there's options on the table.
I'll update the guide as the meta changes, thank you for the upvotes and comments, tis' a pleasure lads!
Peace
I find the shaman matchup really hard. I'm trying replacing one Flame Juggler with an Acidic Swamp Ooze to kill off those Spirit Claws. Have you tried a Consecration? I like the idea of it, but I don't know if it would fit well with the gameplan.
Good to know, I didn't bother trying the consec. btw, having a lot of fun with the deck! It's very satisfying to stick a Djinni, but I felt that Rag was one too many big finishers, and the mana addict has only accomplished anything for me once. Currently, I've traded those two out for Argent Horserider and the Ooze
My only problem with this deck is the absolute lack of both board clear AND large threat removal.
Uldaman for large threat removal. The deck is made to win the board with minions, not clears!
I found this deck to be really bad in this meta. Hunters, shammy and locks trash it. It just can't survive to get the djinnis out.
Isn't blood knight amazing in this deck
Nope. This deck is not focus on the divine shield effect. It's not likely that you will get a divine shield minion and a blood knight in hand like the divine shield deck. This deck is all about buffing minions and get x2 effect with Djinni.
I have gotten many times 2x argent squire and 1x blood knight. Enemy always instantly concedes
Nice list, interesting deck. Not tier 1 material, but that's not what I was looking for. Got some games with it, and it's enjoyable, unexpected and fun when it works with Djinni down.
Personally I'd invest to more sticky minions (Golems, the 1/3 spider that generates a copy---name escapes) just to have more targets to buff. Also, I love Tirion, but I can't really say I like Ragnaros in there. Have you tried Argent Commander for the 4 damage charge and late game buff potential?
Edit: By the way, do you think that Blessing of Wisdom is necessary since you are running Divine Favor? Wouldn't you prefer a Seal of Champions?
Any good replacements for Leeroy Jenkins? Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale with it's bananas or Reckless Rocketeer?
Have you got Argent Commander?

You had Tirion. Did you replace Ragnaros with him? How's it going so far?
0-7 so far, horrible in this meta to play.
Yo, I made a video about this deck. It is indeed a fun deck, it might not be a top tier deck, but it definitely works, the most important decisions you make with this deck are those where you decide how to not let your minions get cleared by AoE and generally spells and deathrattle minions, which deal 1 dmg. It's a fun deck and it works, so you should give it a try. Check out my video and leave comment or two.
That's why divine shields are nice, they can help you with most AoE, but I agree that maelstrom portal is a pain in the ass, cause it only costs 2 mana and they play it early on in the game, where you have to build the board.
A lot of fun to play, opponents are caught off guard by they djinni and you can close games out fast.
What do you think about playing Eydis Darkbane in this deck??
Everybody saying priest is dead. Man, how? Ressurect priest is annoying, worse than Mid R Shaman...
A video with a defeat in it? Are you serious?
