'Psych Ward' - Lava (Earth/Fire)

Competitive 1v1 Peasant Format (Ordinary/Exceptional cards only)

Overall theme (what is the deck trying to do?):
This deck is looking to accomplish a quick win by way of mass warded minions and offensive spell casts, maintaining a near constant pressure (hence the 'psych' part of the name, the objective is to inflict shell shock as much as possible.
The mana curve peaks at 5, typically the game will want to end around turn 10 at the very latest in order to avoid being crushed by larger enemies/late game tactics.
Strengths and weaknesses:
Deck does not currently have Torshammar Trinket or Toolbox to utilize collection with.
Strategy (how does it win the game, what's plan A, what's plan B, how do you plan to get there?):
Plan A: Aggressively trade minions and focus on clearing the board, utilizing all magic casts offensively in order to keep the opponent on the defensive.
Plan B: Stack defenders and only trade minions when necessary and when advantage can be pressed with lower cost magic casts.
Opening hand / mulligans (key cards to hold and cards you definitely want to mulligan, and why):
Because the mana curve is generally lower, the player will want to keep a steady stream of minions flowing ideally 1-2 per turn.
Any of the 5 cost cards will want to be in the mulligan as well as Divine Healing, Consecrate, Enduring Faith, and any magic that does not grant card draw or a free ward.
Single card discussion (are there any standout cards / interesting interactions you want to highlight?):
I don't really know if Thankless Squire is really that useful
Matchup dependent advice:
TBD, game is new to me still. Planning on regular updates in the future!
Collection cards (when to sub them in, and why):
Currently N/A/TBD pending addition of Toolbox card(s)
