So what if Warleader got nerfed? We just need to protect the lil' guy.
Solution: Build an army of fat Murlocs behind a wall of annoying taunts.
General Strategy
Use Hydrologist to get Redemption/Getaway Kodo to spam more taunts, so your Murlocs can go face.
Refill your hand with Curator (Tried Divine Favor, too slow in this meta/bad value against other aggro decks).
Fill the board with Finja, slam down Megasaur for a finisher. Alternatively, when behind against aggro, use Megasaur on a full board and hope for Taunt adapt to survive.
Mulligan
Always throw Stormwatcher and Burnbristle back during mulligan so your Corpetakers can get all the boosts. Keep 1-2 mana Murlocs (not Bluegill) & Righteous Protector, Rallying Blade, and maybe Corpsetaker with coin if you have early game cards as well.
Replacements/Tech
Wickerflame/Sunkeeper: 2nd Consecration, Stonehill Defender, Chillblade Champion
The Epics in the deck cannot be replaced efficiently imo.
If you're fighting lots of aggro druid/evolve shaman, consider switching 1 Scalebane for a 2nd Consecration to clear Living Mana/unevolved Dopplegangsters.

You should win the game by turn 8-9 against most decks.
50 upvotes for a more thorough guide. Peace.
Quality deck. I switched Sunkeeper Tarim for tarion fordring. keep me going in the later games.
I think that's reasonable if you don't own Tarim, but he's really good at taking the board back from Tempo Rogues, turning their big Edwins and Cold Blooded Scalebanes into 3/3s, letting you trade your previously 1/1 tokens from hero power 1-for-1.
You could also consider running Stonehill Defender instead, since it lets you discover both a lot of the time. Tirion is just too slow at 8 mana for this deck I found, I'd rather play Warleader + Megasaur on 8 mana.
Cheers
