Muligans: Having Totem Golem in your opening hand is the best so you should always look for that so you can have strong start and remove early threars. Then you want to keep Stormcrack for early removals / Acidic Swamp Ooze againts weapon classes or as a tempo 2 drop. Always Keep Ancestral HealingInjured Blademaster cause having 4/7 taunt at turn 3 is the best :)

Tips: Keep Lightning Storm againts (zoo) warlocks, Hex againts druid, just because they can have big minions early so its good to have answers for that.

Gameplay: Try to overplay enemy with your removals and cheap minions at early stage of the game, summon totems so you can get your Thing from Below as cheap as possible. After that just deploy your taunt which will help you to survive really long. Fire Elementals for removing and gaining more tempo over the enemy.Thunder Bluff Valiant is the best card in the deck so try to get advantage and value from it by buffing multiple totems and then trading them or pushing for face if you are ahead.

Mana Tide Totem another card that can give you really big advantage so try to hide the totem behind a taunt so you can get as much cards as possible. If you have a terrible hand and you really need to find something just play it even if it will draw just one card. 

Ancestral Spirit - Combine mostly with Bog Creeper or Thing from Below but you can also combine it with Injured Blademaster (you will get 4/7 after it dies) if you dont have any taunts to play and need to get more board value.

Dont worry of throwing naked Injured Blademaster on the board - When your opponent is ahead of you just do it cause you cant wait for one card that does not have to come. Also getting him out when you have Healing Totem on the board is good too.

Ancestral Healing the best use is to combine it with Injured Blademaster but you can also use it with your other minions after trading and then healing them to full and giving them taunt. Example - Againts agro/tempo decks if you have Totem Golem at start, you can trade with it and then heal it back to full, but only if you dont have Injured Blademaster in hand.

If you struggle with your heros health during most of the games, exchange Tuskarr Totemic for another Healing Wave .
