This deck is capable of getting you a win. It may not be easy, but it works! The idea here is to keep a 4 cost removal spell in your hand during your mulligan (Polymorph or Fireball), and also be looking for a 6 drop to follow it up with. You want to be in kind of a constant state of removing their minion and playing one of your own. Frost Nova and taunts will get you an extra turn or buy you some time, Water Elemental can freeze a high priority minion or an opponent abusing weapons, and Archmage will help boost your removal and even help you steal a win with burn spells. Acidic Swamp Ooze could be removed (if you aren’t playing weapon classes) for Ogre Magi. The thing about 4 drops is they go great with your strong 6 drops. I avoided War Golem and Core Hound because I believe you’re going to see a lot of Big Game Hunter and this will force them to keep it in their hand.

    After my attempts with fancy decks, this is the one that beat it for me. Really surprisingly solid.
