Personally, I got to ultimate efficiently using this deck: x4 Cheese Cutter x4 Genetic x4 Healthy Treat x4 Middle Manager x4 Teacher x4 Fossilhead x4 Swimmer x4 Area 22 x4 Going Viral x2 Vitamin Z x2 Maniacal The key with The Smash is having a large board of small buffed minions rather than a smaller board of large gargantuars. I know removal is more punishing when you invest more cards into one, however with all your minions being 1 / 2 cost it becomes a pseudo swarm. Yes there are better heroes but The Smash is viable if you use him correctly.
