Deck Details & Information
Credits for the original idea of running Barkeep with the Prankster package goes to Csaba Tamasovics (I found it in a Youtube comment).

I've tweaked it to include the Discard package as well, and I've been having some success with it.

So, why the Prankster package? You want to run Barkeep with low cost cards or else he tends to flood your hand. The Prankster package cards all have low cost, and the 2 cards we are using to duplicate Prankster (Fading Memories and Chronicler of Ruin) also have decent synergy with Cursed Keeper and Cask Salesman.

While this deck may not be as good as just straight-up playing Prankster Burn, it is definitely way more fun. It can also sometimes find unexpected wins with Barkeep.

Why the Discard package? Because the random cards generated by Barkeep serves as Discard fuel for Rummage/Get Excited!. Jury-Rig also works pretty well with the Prankster package on its own, due to its ability to summon a unit at Burst speed (sometimes you may not have the board space to play it the turn before).

Additional Card Explanations:
- Butcher & Glimpse Beyond: Both have so many targets (eg. Aristocrat, Cursed Keeper, Haunted Relic, Cask Salesman), and can also be used to kill off an ally to trigger extra Prankster damage. Butcher can be played even with a full board, while Glimpse Beyond has the advantage of being Fast speed, so if the opponent uses a removal on Prankster you can kill an ally to immediately deal Nexus damage before it resolves.
- Mark of the Isles: Mainly used to help Prankster survive removal for a turn, but can also be used to push Nexus damage, or to kill off an ally during combat to trigger extra Prankster damage. It can also sometimes be used to pop your Cursed Keeper.
- Elise: Generally a really powerful champion, and works decently with Prankster, but the main reason she is in this deck is so that it appears as a Corina Control deck, to mess with the opponent's mulligan.

Optional Replacements:
- Mystic Shot: I really want to run this card due to its flexibility as a removal as well as the ability to go face, but I'm not sure what to replace, maybe Rummage/Glimpse Beyond, as we already have a ton of card draw/generation
- Crawling Sensation: Not being able to play this proactively is a major downside
- Onslaught of Shadows: Its actually a decent card in this deck after the Cost reduction, but for Prankster purposes is strictly worse than Haunted Relic
- Kalista: Kalista constantly bringing back Barkeep would be really hilarious, I'm curious to see if someone can pull it off
- Splinter Soul: Splinter Soul is worse than Fading Memories in every single way in this deck, because none of the targets we want to copy costs more than 3 Mana, and because it is Slow speed, the opponent can kill the target with a Fast Spell to deny it. Only consider running this if you don't have 2 copies of Fading Memories.
- The Undying: Alternative to Cursed Keeper. The issue is that this deck really struggles with board space. Having a permanent unit that cannot block is quite problematic in this deck.
