Mulligans
General Mulligans
The ideas of the mulligans is to keep alive long enough to break your Twig and draw any of the combo starters; Vanguard, Guardian, Umbra, or Oakheart. We all know how excellent of a life line Spreading Plague can be and with proper armor creation through DK powers and a well timed Armored Scales you can stay afloat long enough to bring a ridiculous board crashing down.
The 0 Atk Taunts are there to ensure that Oakheart only pulls the Drakkari to maximize the power of the Dragonhatcher. By coining in the Twig and attacking every turn you can break that thing on turn 7 and by then the odds are good you have some key pieces to work some serious magic. Twig giving your hero power 2 attack is nothing to shake a stick at either.
Dad humor. Boom.

This deck is all about BIG swings with Recruitment focusing on two main combos.
Combo 1:
Umbra in play, then summon Silver Vanguard—> Deathrattle Recuits Grizzled Guardian–> Deathrattle Recriuts TWO 5/1 Cursed Disciples —–> Deathrattle dumps two MORE 5/1 Revenants. That’s a full board of 7 minions 😀
3/4, 3/3, 3/5Taunt, 5/1, 5/1, 5/1, 5/1. Yes of course most AOE’s would wreak some havoc on the low stats but then you get two more Disciples, two more cost 4’s or less from Veteran, and ANOTHER cost 8 from the Guardian. It’s the combo gift that keeps on giving.
I don’t have enough Dust to craft all the big bad boys in this deck but theoretically it is incredibly fun to play. I’ve tinkered with an Ixlid, Oakheart, Malygos, Twig, and Pestilent version and that is sill a riot to play.
I’m interested to see thoughts on this because I’m gun shy on crafting Umbra before seeing more of the cards coming in Witchwood.
