    Okay, an update. I have replaced both Sea Giants for Instructor Fireheart and a Bogstrok Clacker, and I can say that the deck has since become a lot stronger.

    Deck worked well. Got to legend with it today, thanks. From empirical experience, you can expect about 1 in every 10 games to be an utter defeat, where you won't draw your weapon or Cagematch Custodian until it's too late, or not at all (anyone care to do the math?). Apart from that, it's pretty consistent. About 50-50 against the super aggro DH. Super consistent against Priest and Paladin in current meta. Almost sure loss against warrior, unless you manage to keep a board by forcing and countering Brawls, Bladestorms, etc.

    Some tips:

    • Careful with 1-cost evolves (including your totems): you can get a Doomsayer and kill your own board.
    • Don't mulligan Boggspine Knuckles away unless you already have Cagematch Custodian.
    • DO mulligan Lightning Bloom. The deck is useless without your weapon.
    • Your board is everything, but you can make use of the deathrattle-shuffles as a backup plan, should the game come to late game, such as Kargath Bladefist, Archspore Msshi'fn or Zixor, Apex Predator.
    • DON'T END YOUR TURN in a rush after evolving! Some of your evolved minions may have charge or rush, and this mistake can cost you the match.
    • Animated Broomstick is a great card for clearing the board after a strong evolve.
    • I would feel comfortable replacing Sea Giant for something else (not sure what yet). It doesn't seem to add a lot of value: if you play it with a great board, it's redundant; if you play it out of tempo, it's useless...
