Hey guys, hit legend with about 75% win rate in 2 days from rank 5.

proof: 

Its really funny to play and every game feels different.
Im testing it atm and there are many possible Card replacements so feel free to try your own version and share your results with me (:

The goal is to flood the board the first few turns followed by a powerful evolve at best turn 4 after Pantry Spider or Tuskarr Totemic to generate maximum value.

Card choices:
I think cards likeTotem Golem, Evolve and Rockbiter Weapon are obvious.

Cards likePantry Spider and Bilefin Tidehunter are mainly there because of the nice evolve effect, but they also can generate good value with Flametongue Totem and The Curator or Bloodlust.
Onyxia is another dragon u can get with Curator and can generate a powerful turn with Evolve or followed by Bloodlust. (mainly tested her because i got a golden one few days ago d: )

Mulligan:
Always keep Argent Squire, Totem Golem, Rockbiter Weapon, Evolve, Bilefin Tidehunter, maybe Flametongue Totem with argent squire

with coin:
Tuskarr Totemic and maybe Pantry Spider with evolve

against faster deck u can keep the Maelstrom Portal

Replacements:
I felt like Brann Bronzebeard and Barnes are a little "win more"
Sir Finley Mrrgglton and Tunnel Trogg are not that good in this kind of deck, but they can be played.
Fire Elemental is a really great card but i wanted to go for a bit lower curve. Also playable are Defender of Argus and Gormok the Impaler but i didnt test them yet.

tipps/tricks:
Okay i think i can give u some advices the one or the other will already know but maybe there are some new players out there wich would be glad about some help.

First of all u have to attack the opponent or their minions before you evolve. You will get the most value if you can kill some opposing minions leaving yours with low life so they will evolve into new full life ones.
Furthermore you will have noticed that Tuskarr Totemic will summon the totem on his right side, so always put him on the left of your minions and a summoned Flametongue Totem will give them immediately +2 attack. New totems with your hero power will also spawn on the right side of the Flametongue Totem, so put your minions left to it. (cause the totems will fet the buff anyway)

After playing the deck a while i noticed that some evolve targets are better than others.
For example you can get Millhouse Manastorm or Doomsayer. After some researches i found out that cards with the manacosts 3-4 have the most reliable stats. So if u ever have the choice wich minion to evolve, maybe with master of evolution, here are some facts:
2 mana: 16,6 % (17/102)
3 mana: 14 % (16/115)
4 mana: 14,5 % (16/110)
5 mana: 18,6 % (16/86)
6 mana: 18 % (12/66)
7 mana: 20% (7/34)

This numbers are the chances of getting a minion that has bad stats compared to his mana costs because battlecry effect or something (like Novice Engineer) or just ruins your board (Baron Geddon). All in all that are cards you may not want to get with your evolve. We can see the best results by evolving the 2 and 3 drops into 3 and 4 drops. Have in mind that there is only 1 card you REALLY dont want to get and that is the Doomsayer. The chances of getting him are, against all doubts, really low with under 1% (1/102)

Its also not recommendable to evolve every time you could. If you have already a good board you can just wait until your opponent has an answer. Just use the evolve to generate a new board after it was cleared with cards like Tuskarr totemic, Pantry spider and your totems. If you  evolve a board that is already good and that get cleared you have no real comeback possibility.

I hope that will help you to understand the deck (:

 

changes:
- Brann Bronzebeard
- Barnes
- Nerubian Prophet
- 2x Lightning Storm

+ Jeweled Scarab
+ 2x Maelstrom Portal
+ 2x Argent Squire

I had to take out the scarabs because the meta is so fast right now and Argent Squire helps a lot to deal with the early drops. She is also really good with evolve because she will rarely die in the first turns, so have one more minion to evolve in the next rounds.

Pls dont downvote because u think i copied it from someone. I build it on my own and its my first deck with a small guide, so dont be so hard with me :D

 

Good Luck, i hope u enjoy it (:
