Dear Silver Hand Recruits, this is my current deck which helped me to reach rank5 (season47) after 2 days ( 22-6 the last few games from rank10 to rank 5 , 75%+ winrate)

There are two ways to win. OTK with Beardo + Coins or surviving until the aggro/tempo decks run out of steam.

General rule: Always mulligan for Call to Arms

Against aggro: just try to survive. Equality + Consecration + Pyromancer are great tools to stabilize after their powerplays. 0 cost Creeper + Spikeridged Steed are beasts and make Lynessa Sunsorrow happy. Zola of Gorgon can be used aggressively -> copy some 2 drops for more armor/taunts or additional tempo swings if you target Creeper. If you are safe you might want to Combo Lynessa + Gorgon for the extra value and unbreakable wall. Spikeridged Steed or DK Uther are most of the time enough to close the game. No Coins needed, play Beardo or Burgly Bully on curve or any time you feel the need for it. Don't try to get OTK combo vs aggro.

Control matchups are more tricky because we have to time our tempo swings to get some extra coins. For example try to play Call to Arms -> Bully turn5 or Pyromancer + Equality + Bully on turn 9

You need four unique horseman to OTK. There are 3 scenarios to pull it off besides the fact that you need to be DK Uther + have Beardo in your hand.

most of my games are won via sceneario 2) and 3)

(any of the "+ spell xy" can be substituded with a different spell which has same or less manacost)

tl:dr

cycle through your deck to get aoe clears + call to arms + spikeridged Steed vs aggro

cycle through your deck to get DK Uther + Beardo vs control + try to get some coins, atleast 1

if there is enough interest I can give further detials about specific matchups/mulligan situations

have fun and good luck :)
