Bad luck but I got destroyed using this on the ladder.  I could never keep up, lacked the draws of my competitors and never drew flare when it would be useful.  

I won one match against a shaman and lost against freeze mage, secret paladins, face hunters, a control warrior and zoo. :-/  They ripped me a new one, while I sat there wondering why I couldn't keep up with their damage, or draw the right cards when I needed them.  

Thanks for sharing your deck.  Good luck on the ladder and congrats on legendary.

Interesting deck, it looks promising too but without the right curve you feel completely screwed due to the lack of card draw.   I got owned by a lock, mage and druid.  Even when I drew the right answers, they had the advantage because they had more card draw and taunts, when all I had were things like a puny knife juggler and explosive trap sitting in my hand.

Congratulations on legendary but this deck seems to be lacking that key component, which puts the player at a huge disadvantage when they mulligan into savannah highmane, knife juggler and owl on turn one.  You better pray to god or your lucky stars and hope that your opponent has a terrible curve and is playing a deck with no draw mechanic incorporated into it. 

Grats on legend 13x.  I didn't find this deck particularly strong against face hunter, tempo mage or any of the current meta locks.  I mean, when I won it was because I got a great curve and my opponent had bad draws, but the majority of the time I just had awkward draws that couldn't  keep up with the better control or aggro decks. 

I've ran against this deck twice while playing mech shaman, and completely destroyed both priests.

Perhaps, they had some bad draws but I quickly silenced/efficiently removed the acolyte and northshire and they couldn't keep up with my board presence and often had to waste a turn healing themselves and passing because they had a bunch of spells or weak minions sitting in their hand.  I can see this working against certain aggro decks but this feels like it'd be weak against zoo. 

Kudos to you for making this work and for reaching legendary. 

This is a fun deck and it works well on the ladder.  

At the moment, I've run into a lot of counters because it's so early in the season and most people are running aggro decks, which makes you want to concede early on a bad mulligan vs zoo or face hunter or something else that has a great curve and synergy.  As you climb down the ladder, I think this deck becomes more and more viable.

I won a few games yesterday with the deck, but today was brutal.  If you don't have the right start against a lock, hunter, or warrior and can't keep a minion longer than one turn, then you might as well concede on turn 3 when you have a hand with force of nature, savage roar and an ancient of lore.  Boy did I get stomped upon! :P 

I like this deck, and the concept. Kudos for pushing it to legendary.   I just have terrible RNG and I can't compete with zoo/aggro atm.

Thanks for sharing your deck.  It helped me get through my priest dailies quickly. I made one minor substitution, with a Loatheb for Vol'Jin.  

The only problems I encountered were aggro decks who had strong starts, a death rattle shaman and two rogues that were able to draw the right answers to clear my board every time.  Other than that, the deck performed well and I had fun playing priest without having to rely on thoughtsteal and mind control.

Interesting deck.  When you have a great curve, and draw the right cards then it seems unstoppable.  However when you get a bad mulligan, and end up with flamestrike, Sylvanas and Nefarian in your hand at the start...  You just want to bang your head against the desk when facing zoo, aggro hunter or mech mage. :P   It's almost impossible to make a comeback.  >.< Especially when you draw things like fireball and polymorph, etc.

Kudos to you for sharing your deck and having great success. Good luck on the ladder.

Congrats on legendary, and thanks for sharing your deck.  

I didn't have great success with it, perhaps it's due to my play style.  I normally play oil rogue; so trying to establish board control and watching them clear my mechs or silence something felt so punishing (especially when playing against opponents like priests and paladins, who never provide too much of a challenge). I guess I'll need to practice more or try something different, because I'm feeling so lost without sap and the additional oil, especially when you have a minion heavy hand and you know they have a lot of removal available.

Thank for sharing this fun deck.  I missed playing good ol' Leeroy, so it was nice clearing the cobwebs from the card and adding him into a deck.  I went 3:0 with it, but used Sylvanas rather than Piloted Sky Golem because I don't have that card.

Hi, 

Thanks for sharing your experience.  If you feel unlucky with the mulligan, you can take out 1 earth shock and 1 flame tongue totem and put in 2 clockwork gnomes.  If that doesn't work, you can even sub out a crackle and put in a leper gnome.  This will give you 5 one drop minions and you'll be guarantee to have a good start... unless blizzard has a thing against you.  ^_~

This is a very strong deck. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't come back once you lose board control, unless your opponent is an idiot who plays into Lightbomb or you get a really lucky Cabal.

I don't believe you went 14-4 with this deck. I've been playing at rank 11 and I've went 0-4 losing to 2 priests, a druid, and a hunter.

I got very lucky on this one, I got it the first try :).

Thank you

I have this deck as is and I get eaten alive by Zoo, Priest and other hunters.

I know the META shifts throughout the ranks, but I'm not having any success with this deck.

This deck should be re-labeled:  If you get Undertaker turn 1, play it.  If you don't have undertaker after mulligan concede.

The reason why Reynad's deck is better is because it is much more consistent. Of course this deck is nice but: Without a really fast starting hand and an opponent who doesn't have the right answers you will run out of steam so fast. Buzzard+Unleash Combo is just to important imo. It's almost always a board clear + so much card draw. Yeah, here you have two Kill Commands for bursts. But against control decks there are so many situations where you are forced to use it to get rid of a big threat. Everyone know this, it feels so bad using KC against Minions and when it happens to you, you are really happy it didn't hit your face.

Maybe this deck has a good winning rate for lots of people. But in the current meta with so many controlish or board flooding decks it's just like: Yeah let's just push for damage and hope I topdeck leathal. Don't know how it worked 1 or 2 weeks ago, guess it was really good against Mad Scientiest Hunters. But for now, as the season started and people are trying to climb ranks as consistent as possible using lots of control decks I don't think it's still that strong. 

I think this deck is too much situational. I had a win streak from rank 9 to 5 but it was only pure luck, because you don't have anything to play against big minions. If you can't kill your opponent before turn 7-8, you are probably dead because there is no consistent removal. There's also too much non beast minions to make the houndmaster efficient.

And by the way, there's no finisher except Kill Command that will mostly be used to remove big taunt because you don't have anything else to deal with.

That was rude. I'm not criticising your deck (I've been defending it, if you even bothered to read more comments). In fact, I quite like it - it got me from rank 8 to 3 yesterday. I know how to use it. Today though it's just not effective for me. Many others are experiencing the same effect. I will keep trying your deck, but between work and life I won't make Legend this season.

Its all about luck, dude. Was at rank 5 for 4 days ))

Remember who said that? Yeah. You.

No deck is going to get everyone straight to Legend, regardless of how 'OP' it is.

Well, congrats to all the folks who hit legend with this deck. I got to rank 3 before falling back to 5 and I don't think I have a chance in hell this season. Losing to pretty much everything. Cat's out of the bag and this deck isn't nearly as effective anymore.
