So, I'm a casual player, usually finishing seasons at ranks 8 or 9, never having the time or intent to make it further. I threw together this deck today at work, and played it for a bit just now. It took me from rank 9 to my first ever rank 5 with just one loss in the middle. Yes, that is just 11 or 12 games, and yes I did ride a win streak on the last day of the season, but I just wanted to share the deck for whoever finds it useful. Its probably a very meagre achievement, but just wanted to share my joy.
More than anything, I think people didn't know what they were playing against. Being reactive, the deck seems good against the predominant aggro decks: Odd Paladin, Odd Rogue and Zoolock. You take control of the board and maintain it, and you shouldn't have much problem. With Druid, you don't want to play into speeding plague, just keep 2- 3 threatening minions in play. Against control, of which I only met Warlock, the deck does well being the aggressor and reloading with Countess is pretty useful. Hunter is difficult, with Spider Bombs disrupting your tempo, but still seems winnable. The most enjoyable match I had was against a Token Druid, where I eventually won in fatigue.
I don't even think the deck is that good. The mech package, except Zilliax, might be replaced by something that works better. I don't own Prince Keleseth, so if somebody were to test it with Keleseth, it might yield better results.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be more than welcome. Happy Hearthstoning everyone.
PS: I didn't anticipate making this post, so I don't have proof of the statistics.I don't use a deck tracker, so I don't have data from there either. The only thing I have is a screenshot upon reaching rank 5, I'm attaching it here.
That's the surprise factor I think. Most people didn't know how to react to it. I've wanted to make Countess work ever since Witchwood. Also, amidst the hype about Dr. Boom, I wanted to make something where Scourgelord Garrosh shone. I'm happy they work pretty well in this deck.
Probably true. Galvaniser helped in a couple of games though, with Turn 1 Coin+Galvaniser, into Turn 2 magnetised Gatekeeper, into Turn 3 Frothing behind a giant taunt. But that kind of high-rolling is probably not a very good reason to play a card. I'll tinker around with something else in its place.

Just played a game on ranked with this, and it was really fun. I put in zilliax. Nice work on rank 5!
That's pretty impressive. Haven't seen any tempo warriors on ladder all expansion.

Not sure you really need the galvanizers, it’s not really a full on mech package and the mechs you have are pretty cheap

I'm glad you're happy. :)
Everyone was mulliganing for odd warrior. I had an idea to make a tempo dragon priest for the same reason, but haven't come up with a decent list yet
