Strat TL;DR Gadgetzan Auctioneer into Jade Idol spam.

One thing that’s cool about this deck is that it’s literally made up of 7 cards, and the rest are just random minions that will be removed to ensure you draw what you want. Originally I did go for a deck with a single Gadgetzan Auctioneer and a single Jade Idol, but it was too reliant on whether or not that Gadgetzan Auctioneer died off quickly. Adding the second really does drastically improve the chances you’ll win with this deck. I then added the Jade Behemoth because it still felt like the Auctioneers were a little too vulnerable, and it’s a great common card that synergises well with the deck.

So the basic idea is that you’ll hold out just using your hero power until you have at minimum, Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Innervate, and Jade Idol. Depending on cards remaining and mana, you’ll then play the Innervate and Auctioneer (or vice versa), into the Jade Idol, and select to shuffle 3 copies of the Idol into your deck. When deciding whether to spawn a minion or shuffle 3 more copies into your deck, check how many you have remaining - if it’s 1, then you have to shuffle, but if it’s more than 1 you can summon (personally I liked to shuffle at 2 cards remaining just because I was worried I’d stuff it up). Jade Behemoth whenever you deem necessary, keeping in mind they’re also a magnet for Obliterate, which draws it away from your Auctioneer.

Quick tips for those who don’t often use the Gadgetzan Auctioneer - If you only have 1 card left to draw and are going to double Innervate, Auctioneer, Jade Idol, make sure you think about the order to not draw yourself out. For example, Innervate, Auctioneer, Innervate, Jade Idol will draw an extra point of fatigue damage.

Mulligan: any card that will not be removed by the Lich Kings’ special ability. At best you’ll end up having 3 you can’t play until later anyway, but it does mean you’ll get all of your cards quicker.

Cards to add: other Jade cards that you may have, but if you add more than another 2-3 I’d definitely add a second Jade Idol to prevent RNG making it harder to draw one.

Cards to Remove: if you’re putting in more Jade, either take out the Behemoth or random cards that are only there to be instantly discarded.
