WOW top page over night!
So I am going to be a man of my word and write up a guide on what to mulligan for etc...
First off, Finja, the Flying Star is a very key component to this deck, but using it right away means you need to go into turn 5 without a serious disadvantage. In most situations, it should be kept if in your initial hand, but not heavily mulliganed for.
Vs Aggro: Living Roots , Enchanted Raven , and Druid of the Saber are your best bets. It will be up to you whether to use your Living Roots to take out something like a Small-Time Buccaneer , or throw down two 1/1 minions to combat multiple aggro minions.
Vs Control: You want to be as quick as possible. Depending on the matchup, you don't always need to be afraid to play a lot of minions. Play around potential mass take-out spells like Lightning Storm , but maintain as much pressure as possible. Druid of the Saber , Enchanted Raven , and Mark of Y'Shaarj are a priority in these matchups.
Game progression: Maintain board control until your hopeful turn 5 Finja, the Flying Star. You want to put on as much pressure up until this point in case you don't find yourself with Finja, the Flying Star by this point. Your second win condition then becomes continual buff and pressure with Zoobot , Mark of Y'Shaarj , and Savage Roar. Lastly, The Curator adds well synergized and specified draw power while adding a decent taunt minion to the board. It should be used as soon as possible in most situations.
Ideal Early Game:
Turn 1: Enchanted Raven
Turn 2: Mark of Y'Shaarj
Turn 3: Innervate and Druid of the Claw
Etc...
Tips:
Try and get your Sir Finley Mrrgglton out as quick as possible, and if you don't, make sure you keep track of all of the Murlocs in your deck. Depending on your matchup, you don't always want to choose the Hunter Hero Power. Paladin or Mage hero powers can be great for extra pressure without taking damage.
Try and use Innervate for Druid of the Claw , The Curator , Finja, the Flying Star , or Savage Combatant + Hero Power.
Mark of Y'Shaarj + Druid of the Saber (Stealth) has incredible power and can be played a variety of different ways. You don't ALWAYS need to attack with it initially to take away your stealth.

I'd love to get this back up to the top page! Took a three week break from Hearthstone and was negligent to updating. My apologies, but I want to get this out to as many in the community as possible! Spend the dust and comment for any questions on play style!
really fun and good deck, couldnt break rank 10 with kazakus and jade decks, did it easily with this!
I love this deck.
Will give it a try with another Savage Roar instead of Sir Finley. Finley is sometimes coming out from Finja and breaks the surprise.
Also observed today that Shamans are adapting by using Devolve after you play Finja :)
Ya you definitely have to watch out for cards like devolve, twisting nether, flamestrike, equality+consecration, and a few others!
standard 5-3
Really fun deck. I'm by no means a very good players, my highest past rank has only been 13. With this deck though I have already climbed from 19 to 13 largely helped out by a 10 game win streak. I have a couple "net decks" but this one is one of the few that really clicked with me. For me the only weaknesses are Reno decks as I have yet to win a game yet against them unless i have won but didn't know it because I beat them too fast lol
Definitely can struggle vs Reno, but has great success vs aggro and midrange. If you suspect Reno, play real fast and mulligan for druid of saber and mark as well as a final blow with finja if possible!
When you say place real fast do you mean basically go full on face no matter what? Or do you mean be aggressive with the coin and innervates for early big minions?
This isn't a reno deck, but it is a control mage. Watch how I play it. You want to take out minions that threaten your high priority minions, as well as ones that may help draw power in certain situations for your opponent. You also don't want to put your high priority minions in danger like playing multiple 4 or less health minions on a turn 5 or 6 against a mage. Turn 6 or 7 is probably going to be a blizzard or flamestrike. You'll see that I make this mistake, but continual minion presence can overpower this (The Curator) I hope this helps. If you need more advice you can add me. "Goatmann"

this is feno's deck...
Read the whole writeup friend! #Ignorant
This deck is great. I was really close to golden Druid so I was looking for a fast fun deck to help me close the gap. 23 games later I have my golden guy. Stats are 14 wins 9 losses around ranks 17-15 NA. I crafted Finja, the Flying Star but I'm not sure how necessary it was. In most of the games I won, I didn't even draw him. Here's a detailed breakdown: imgur
Definitely wanna keep him if in your initial hand, and as for the deck as a whole, he can create some serious chaos, espcially with the slight lack of draw power!
replacement for finja?
let me quote him "First off, Finja, the Flying Star is a very key component to this deck" so i think there is no good replacement
precisely!
This deck is fun in so many ways. For example, today I played Zoobot while having Enchanted Raven, Faerie Dragon and Bluegill Warrior on the board. This deck makes you smile so often and it's always some new, exciting way it achieves that.
awesome to hear! definitely has some great combos!
totally worth it!
competitive and fun!
