I've had huge success with this deck, winning the vast majority of games. I only seem to lose if they can burst me down before T6, or if I utilize my card draws badly. I haven't seen anyone using Necrotic Geist as effectively as this, so thought I'd share. (Tokens summoned by it will also get charge, allowing you to clear the entire enemy's board.)

 The only thing that prevents Necrotic Geist from working is taunt minions with <2 attack. Wisp works with 1 attack enemies, and we also have devolve and a few of our own minions to bypass low attack taunts. Wisp, Fire Fly, and Thing from Below are your primary combo starters. 

Mulligan for draw. Keep Fire Fly.

The Gameplan: Save Necrotic Geist activators like wisp and don't use Evolve except to prevent death. Just use defensive and card-draws like Devolve, Ancient Watcher, and Mana Tide Totem. 

Around turn 6 reclaim the board with Necrotic Geist. Then once we have enough on the board or strong charge minions, burst them down, evolve, burst again, evolve again, and keep SMORCing. You'll now get a nice "Wow..." from your opponent. If they aren't quite dead, that's okay, just let out a "That's Incredible!" of your own. 

 

Card substitutions:

Wisp -> Snowflipper Penguin

 Devolve -> Maelstrom Portal, Mad Bomber

Ancient Watcher -> Humongous Razorleaf, Stubborn Gastropod

Acolyte of Pain -> Loot Hoarder, Humongous Razorleaf, Maelstrom Portal

Fire Fly, Necrotic Geist, Evolve -> No replacements 

If missing Mana Tide Totem and Primalfin Totem, replace Thing from Below as well. If missing Thing from Below, replace Primalfin Totem. Look at some of the above card substitutions as ideas. 

 

Other cards worth considering:

Bloodlust: It's a win-slightly-faster card after we've already secured the win. That said, I think Primalfin Totem is the weakest card right now, so it's worth trying. But Evolve is essentially a cheaper Bloodlust, and is a dead card most of the time. 

Flametongue Totem: We're never really in control of the board until the end, so it's not that helpful. 

Kobold Hermit: A weaker Primalfin Totem, but works nicely with Thing from Below.
