Excellent tips, Nat and Dread.  Thanks for the replies and great insight.

Tips on this deck against the super annoying Hunter Secrets deck that is the bane of my existence rank 8?

Sorry, lost track of the thread after a busy stretch.

In the interest of being brief, I guess a good generalization is starting hand mulligan suggestions vs. classes with easy early removal of small minions (mage, rogue, druid with class abilities specifically).

I have been running with Nox's two Tempo decks that were recently posted, and have much better success.  I don't think it's because it's a "better deck", but a better deck for my natural playstyle instincts.  While it's great to get a deck style and stick with it, the meta is continually changing and I know I need to adjust better and not rely too much on netdecking.  

Honestly, I just don't get what happened since last patch.  I'd run iterations of the decks you guys are all using before and get to rank 8-6 in no time, and then have some issues with going about 50-50.  Now, I am just STUCK in the 15 range since the patch, and just keep having problems getting a win streak going.  Not much changed in the patch, but it just feels like the Meta has passed us rogues by. 

Of course, I probably just suck lol.  On that topic, with these mid range decks, what are the best starting hands to shoot for?  I have a feeling that I'm keeping the wrong starters and just making bad plays early on that put me too far behind.

Re: Sylvanas Windrunner mirror.  Had this the other day where I had just an Defender of Argus and Sylvanas (who just became a 6/6 with Taunt).  Opponent had no minions, but then played a faceless Manipulator on Syl.  Thankfully, I had a backstab and Eviscerate to kill my own Sylvanas, which then stole theirs back to my side.  

Otherwise, I'd have either had to not attack at all giving them a chance to regain tempo, or attack with the lower minion first to kill it off, then have the two legendaries kill each other for essentially a board clear.  

oops... long day at the office, wasn't thinking clearly on Windfury.  This deck is definitely barely a class specific deck, so it's actually pretty easy to see if the minion makeup could work for a different class or not. 

As a Shaman, wouldn't you want to have Bloodlust in there somewhere?  Even 3 weenies getting through for damage is really good, and you can always do a 0 cost Windfury to double a damage burst from a bigger guy if needed.
