Mulligan Guide

General

  1. Hydrologist: Obvious choice. Turn 2 with a possible turn 3 secret to follow up with. Great control or a way toget another hydrologist and have your opponent waste their spells to burn him out.
  2. Stonehill Defender: Another great option for turn 3. Easy to follow up turn 4 with a juicy taunt option. I have won many games because of lucky RNG.
  3. Consecration: A bit on the high side to keep in your hand; however if you're against an aggro deck it is worth while.
  4. Wild Pyromancer/Equality: Wipes everything without a divine shield. 
  5. Doomsayer: Hard to get rid of early. Can get rid of pesky Taunt minions like Tar Creeper early on.

Deck Description

Simple goal; control the board until your opponent has nothing else to play. Your win condition is generally is to beat them far enough down so you can charge in with Leeroy Jenkins or play late game with Ysera. The deck is about being responsive rather than proactive. Let them play into your hand and not the other way around. Understanding the different archetypes and how they play out is key to success. Never play a card "just because you have extra resources". Play it safe and you will win.

The lacking part of this deck is being able to gain your health back as well as card draw. I have been thinking of different options and still play testing to see what will work better.
