This deck has gotten me over 80% winrate in the current Rise of Shadows meta, ranks 10 to 4, for the beginning weeks of May 2019.
For the early game, the main goal of the deck is to stall as much as possible with removal spells, playing reactively to your opponent’s board while attempting to cycle into your 5-cost+ taunt minions.
For the mid game, managing your death pool and finding optimal moments to shuffle 1-cost copies of those value minions with Spirit of the Dead, is top priority.
For the end game, the goal is to get a massive tempo swing with Mass Resurrection or Zerek’s Cloning Gallery, which has the potential to shuffle even more 1-cost copies back into your deck.
Against aggro, single target removal spells, board clears, and healing ensures survivability.
Against midrange and combo, Forbidden Words, Shadow Word: Death, and Mass Dispel work wonders to neutralize their strongest power spikes.
Against control, the sheer number of 1-cost copies of valuable minions that are shuffled back into the deck means you will not fatigue. Eventually control decks will run out of answers for your constant stream of taunts and must-kill minions like Arcage Vargoth and Catrina Muerte. Additionally, two Thoughtsteals make it possible to high roll into an opponent’s Doctor Boom or Hagatha hero cards.
