This deck originally started as a much, much more basic version with health buffs and dragons. I then modified it as after watching a video Firebat uploaded yesterday (I forget what he called his deck, though). As you can probably see, my collection isn't currently so vast that I can place several legendary or epic cards, yet. But I will (I know this deck looks a little confused, right now). I'm currently at Rank 20 and have had success in around three games so far (two casual, one ranked - Buff Paladin, Secret Hunter [no Zul'jin ] and Combo Rogue). But I'm posting this here because I think this deck has good potential, especially for those of us who may not have every good card or the dust to craft them.
As I understand it, the best way to use this deck is to immediately start drawing into my opponent's cards. Any advice on how I can improve this deck to climb up a couple of ranks? Two cards I can immediately think of are Acidic Swamp Ooze and Chief Inspector for weapons and secrets removal. And these are tech cards. I'm open to any constructive suggestions, and don't also mind ones that ask for changing the basic deck concept.
It's my personal opinion that Priest will be very well-handled come the next rotation and I want to have a good deck ready for that as well. Thanks, all!
P.S.: Bonus points if you can guess the song the deck-name refers to. It's a very famous song from a very famous band. Cheers!
- it looks like a really defensive deck to me with all the taunts, maybe a bit too defensive. Less experienced players sometimes tend to overvalue taunts and life total (that's also why many newer players are a little scared to play zoo- they are not comfortable using hero health as a ressource yet)

Yeah, you're right. As it turns out, this deck doesn't work so well when faced against control decks and very aggressive ones (Druid, Warrior). Which is what I've faced today - maybe as a result of the nerfs? Either way, I also realised, like you said, that there isn't any win condition in this deck and that it's just cards thrown together. Thanks! Back to the drawing board for me.

- what exactly is your win condition?
- topsy without divine spirit looks weird to me
- you have too many 1-ofs which tends to ruin the consistency of your draws
- is Drakkari Trickster worth running?
