Quick question, if I play Luna's Pocket Galaxy, followed by Hemet, Jungle Hunter, will Hemet destroy ALL the minions in my deck? I.e. does Hemet trigger on the discounted cost?
I've given this a few tries. To be honest, its so far been an abysmal failure - it's been impossible to get to the point where I can play pocket galaxy and then Hemet, to see what happens.
Not saying the deck wouldn't work, but for now it is back to the drawing board - I suppose I could do a simple vs AI to test the "science", but I wanted to see if such a deck could hold out to anything vs real players. So far, so bad :-(

I'd try something myself, but I have none of the required legendaries! (Hemet or Pocket Galaxy!) So, I'm gonna throw my ideas your way. Do with them what you want!
How about a minion heavy deck, with Raven Familiar to guarantee the draw on Pocket Galaxy?
If you're interested in trying out a Mecha'thun deck, you could try it with a couple of Book of Specters cards. More risk, but you've got to draw your deck as early as possible. Combine it with Luna and other minions that guarantee draw, as well as some tech minions to control the board (Mind Control Tech, Mossy Horror etc) and some that offer survivability (Rotten Applebaum, Stonehill Defender etc) and you might be able to make something workable?
For what i believe the spaghetti code of blizzard has a distiction between cards, spell and minion. I know minion are cards and not all cards are minion, but not for the code (at least when discounted). So Academic Espionage discounted cards are detected as cards by hemet, but none of the discounted spell are detected by Skulking Geist as 1 Mana spell. For the same reason discounted minions are not detected as "cards" by Hemet, Jungle Hunter . So my theory is the spaghetti code is spaghetti code, but is consistent in its own special way.
It feels like Blizzard employs people who became programmers by reading those "learn X in Y hours" books. Absolute BS.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck!
Heh - this is in fact exactly the deck I was trying for now. (with Luna etc). And loading about as much draw as I could find.
The problem seems to be trying to deal with getting Mecathun in your hand when you don't want it. Trying to make him cost less with Galvanisers and I even [card]ola the Gorgon[/carded a galvaniser back to make it cheaper. But the problem is that even discounted by 3, if you've drawn both your Voodoo Dolls before you can discount them, then it means you cant kill it....
Oh wait a minute... There's that new 0 mana "Deal 1 to all minions" isn't there? Think I might try that next!

Interesting idea.. Mecha'thun mage incoming?
Winning!? Nah dawg *Meme-ing!*!! (but also winning)
Barnabus + Hemet, Jungle Hunter = Nothing happens.
Academic Espionage + Hemet, Jungle Hunter = Cards get destroyed.
So who knows what happens with Luna's Pocket Galaxy.
Only one way to find out : It's time for an experiment!
u wot.
Hmm. Its an interesting idea, if it does work.
The one missing part of the puzzle, is how to kill off Mecathun without him getting hexed, silenced etc.
Oh hang on! Voodoo doll only costs 1 now, so that would work...
The consistency... (small indie company)
The goal of all life is death.

If I manage to get anything vaguely workable, I'll let you know! Heh!

I didn't mention it in the original post, but everyone picked up on it, yes this was aimed at building at mage Mecha'thun deck :D
Sample
Sweet! Can't wait for a Hunter Mecha'thun deck to appear next **Hearthstones version of Kappa whatever it be**
Edit: if this deck gets picked up by any streamer/youtuber/video maker please post a link that we may see the results
Winning!? Nah dawg *Meme-ing!*!! (but also winning)
