Control tools like Candleshot, Wingblast, Animal Companion, Toxmonger Combos, Ironbeak Owl, Hunter's Mark etc. all help combat aggro dominance. Not to mention building a strong board of 1-drops alongside buffed Dire Frenzy minions like 1-mana 4/4 Charging Stonetusk Boars or 1-mana 4/6 Dire Moles.
You could tech in a Tar Creeper from the tech pool of options if you struggled with defence, which would itself lend to some nice Cult Master draw combo's behind a taunt, but you'd be missing out on the opportunity to play things like Ravencaller on turn 3 to advance the quest, or Animal Companion for more beast synergy.
