Update :  update 21 july : Managed to get legend with the original list on Asia, currently pushing top 100, took me around 12 hours from rank 9 to legend with this deck so its still very strong will change the cards to the original list as i still think the original is the best. .

Introduction

Been playing with this for 2 weeks on ladder now. Got the idea after testing a midrange hunter deck last season that i went 20-1 from rank 7 to 3 that included the tiger. I saw that the tiger always was a two for one against classes like druid,rouge,shama. Did rlly well when i first started playing with it climbed from rank 16 to rank 5 in one day the first day of season 3. Have played this at top 100 legend EU almost got top 30 a couple of days ago but lost 5 game in a row at rank 40 and gave up . played this + 2 other decks in the last zotac cup were i finished top 8. This deck aced two of the matches alone. Im currently testing different decks on ladder at rank 1500 or so but i will livestream my climb to legend with this deck next season.

The idea of the deck

i dont know if the idea of strangelthorn + Combo is old or not but i have never seen it before myself. The idea is that you play the the tiger turn 8 with combo in hand and kill him turn 9. Because the tiger has stealth it almost always trades 2 for 1 so its a good minion regardless of its synergy with the druid combo. You play it they have no way of dealing with it because of stealth you deal 5 damage to hes face or clear of a minon. They either have to use value spells like hex to kill it or use there whole turn killing if you have played the game right. Adding the tiger makes it easier to get your opponent killed even if hes at 21+ health.

Meta Slots

Cards like black knight, bgh etc can be added if  theres need for them this is just the basic setup. Cards like loot hoarder, argent commander can be changed depending on what you met on ladder. -Argent + cairne.  -Golem + farseer for example.

Win Rate

I dont know the exact win rate of this deck but i know that i won most games against: Druid,shamans,miracle+backspace rouge. Zoo depends on the draw like always but mostly have been winning every game on days they dont draw double doomguard in there top 20 cards while days were zoo had insane draw i lost almost everygame.

I lost most games against: Ramp druid, handlock, some warrior decks. I didnt met enough of the bad matchups on ladder for it to be worth changing my deck to counter them, the only decks i played a lot against were Miracle and combo druid, some zoo early on in the season. 

Gameplay

http://www.twitch.tv/vbsof i will try to live stream playing this deck on ladder but i will be gone a lot this season but if you want gameplay to figure out how to play it check the past broadcast videos. I might be talking in some of my stream an analysing but for the most part i talk to people irl or on skype while playing hearthstone.

If you have any ideas for improvements to the deck or questions post them below.
