I would like my question to remain theoretical. If I created my deck by heavily modifying a deck found on the internet and reched rank 4 with, can I be sure that it is possible to reach legendary with it? Or is it possible that a deck that works up until rank 4,3 is unviable even higher and you wont break 50% win rate no matter what you do?
The only card this deck has that can deal damage to an opponent is a single drain life. It cannot, realistically, hope to win a single game.
In a more realistic sense, with a bit of skill and luck and a lot of persistence it is possible to reach legend rank with a relatively bad deck. If you roll a die enough times eventually you'll roll twenty sixes in a row. It will be far more difficult and time consuming if you're playing a deck with an average 40% win rate than one with an average 60% win rate, though.
I agree with aureus. It's all about increasing the odds. You could play with no deck at all and hope people keep disconnecting on you until you reach legendary. The odds on that are beyond astronomical, but I'm pretty sure they would exist.
As for saying this deck or that deck can't go beyond rank X, that's BS. These rigid constraints don't exist. It boils down to the fact that the higher your win rate with a deck, the more likely you are to reach higher ranks. Win rate = deck + how you play it.

I suppose Sense Demons can also draw you Worthless Imps after your Blood Imps are gone. Regardless, the best player in the world would be hard pressed to win with this deck against a complete newcomer.

Is this just.. An attempt at having the worst deck possible, or what?

Yes. That is exactly what it is. It wasn't an entirely successful attempt, but pretty close.
Due to the random nature of Hearthstone, yeah it's totally possible. Just keep hoping that you'll be paired up with bad players and those that have bad luck on their side.
In all seriousness though, yes paying attention to the meta helps to increase your win ratio but losses are going to be inevitable. Just remember to have fun playing the game.
Offtopic: I think this may be the least likely deck to succeed, has no ability to damage opponent's health and I put Nat Pagle in instead of another Sheildbearer because card draw makes it more likely that you fatigue damage yourself and also one less taunt for your opponent to have to kill before hitting your face. Also, Warrior hero power cannot hurt opponent either.
That deck could still win if one of your minions became damaged, and then you used rampage to repeatedly swing at your opponent. This being said it is still totally awesome!
I think this may have just become the thread for the worst deck in hearthstone competition. God that would be a hilarious bass-ackwards tournament. Best of three first person to win two matches is knocked out of the tournament.

depending on how it's build I would assuming you could make it that high. I've seen some funky legendary decks

Alright, I tried too...
Unless your opponent actually silences the Ancient Watchers, your maximum damage potential in 1 turn is 9.
No
