The ultimate deck to frustrate your opponent. Harkens back to beautiful times of Yes Priest and 8-mana Archivist Elysiana plus Youthful Brewmaster. You only have to outlast your opponent. Simply clear any board that is over 4 minions and use Bulwark of Azzinoth to defend against big minions. Your bounce effect minions are there to always have a Hoard Pillager on hand. The Youthful Brewmaster can also be used very effectively to bounce a Kargath Prime if he's able to kill an enemy and survive.

Don't be too hesitant to play a board clear, but don't do too much either. Best clear is Risky Skipper + Armorsmith + a few small minions. Playing Sky Raider turn 1 is a bad idea. You need to keep some playable minions in hand. If you can, combine it with a Battle Rage, which is your best draw engine.

Mulligan for Corsair Cache, Shield Block, Bladestorm and Risky Skipper.

I just finished a game against Bomb Warrior, that also played the Clockwork Goblins. He put around 9 bombs in my deck, but it wasn't enough. He got me down to 4hp but was never able to finish me off. He conceded while he was still at full health and 60+ armor when I played my Elysiana. He was down to 1 card in hand and 0 in deck. Not even stealing Bulwark with a Kobold Stickyfingers was enough to beat me.

It's all about pacing. I recommend you watch the games by Admirable to get a good grasp on the deck.

Here are some YouTube guides:
