So...I'm missing most of the key pieces of deathrattle hunter (Shaw, Kathrena). The deck still intrigued me, though, so I had been experimenting with it since boomsday came out. Running stuff like Fireworks Tech and Mechanical Whelp and Mecharoo. I also had the secret package with spellstone. It...didn't work out so great. I dropped the Mech Welps for Savannah Highmanes, cause I found I usually wanted to cube those more than I wanted to cube 7/7 mechs anyway.

I eventually tried to make a list closer to the meta list, dropping secrets for Keleseth, and since I was short on 4 drops Sardonite Chain Gang. This was still underwhelming. I put in Witchwood Grizzlies, and if they lived, and got cubed they were great; kind of hit and miss, though. From watching the tournament last week I saw something interesting though--against zoo, someone played a Tar Creeper, and then cubed the tar creeper, and this was backbreaking and caused them to win, so I took out Chain Gangs and put in Tar Creepers. Here's what I'm messing around with now:

### Budget Cube

# 2x (3) Terrorscale Stalker
# 2x (4) Flanking Strike

It's...performing solidly. Weak cards in this list right now are...Zilliax. Not really blown away by it now that all the mechs are gone. Low 4 drop count is also kind of a concern. Maybe replace Zilliax with 1x Defender of Argus?

Anyway, deck's alright. It's sort of like the meta deathrattle hunter decks, except with less lategame, but teched really heavily against aggro (aggro decks being the deck's bad matchups before). Which...I think makes it a deck that doesn't have particularly polarized matchups, so that's cool.
