Mulligans
General Mulligans
You really want to start with the 1 cost elementals. Menacing nimbus is ok, but I often mulliganed it too in hope of the 1 costs. Most of the games where I started with a 1 cost minion I won. Acidic swamp ooze doesn't seem to be main meta at the moment, and taunts also are not so big in general. This leaves the way open for doom hammer and face.
I found two doom hammers clunky and the 3 cost weapon is also really good especially if it is drawn before doom hammer. Absolutely do not keep weapons at mulligan - you want to draw them with cagematch custodian.
The key thing to remember is to chain elementals in the correct sequence - most depend on an elemental being played the previous turn. Sometimes lilypad lurker should be played, even when not chained, to activate dunk tank and start a new chain of elemental battlecries.
Hardest matchup was priest and warrior (heal and armor), but I had a positive or 50% win rate vs every class except warrior, going 4-5.
This is the deck that got me from Diamond 5 to legend in June 2021. Instructor Fireheart may be better than Alakir.
