Game plan
The deck is versatile, able to generate advantage in the mid or late game; in the early game it can defend itself well, though sometimes sacrificing life points and resources.
You always want to open with a 3-cost card in hand, either King Shahryar or Asanbosam, and ideally you should have Koschei at the start to begin discarding it.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE the damage you can generate with the Brides of Dracula and their combo with Genie, as well as Old MacDonald's damage to barriers; both effects can be decisive in the mid or late game.

Guide
Strengths
Generally you'll always have plenty of resources in hand, despite the discards.
Drawing Dracula, or Red Knight, also tends to be a very good opening draw (the latter because its attack forces the opponent to spend resources to get rid of it); another good opening draw is Quasimodo with Aladdin, but I must admit it's not as consistent as the others mentioned above, though it's not bad if you manage to activate it correctly.
If the game starts and in the first rounds you gain a monster advantage, I recommend activating Spellbook whenever possible, since this will let you generate a lot of resources as the game goes on.
Weaknesses
When you don't have a monster advantage on the board, you'll be forced to sacrifice life points with Red Knight to avoid bigger losses later; fortunately you can recover some with Shahrazad or some spells coming from Genie or Spellbook (this is random) if you see the game is very compromised.
Mulligan
Keep a 2- or 3-cost card in hand; it's not a rule carved in stone, but I'd recommend not having more than one even-cost card in hand at the start, and always try to draw Koschei (this is so that, as much as possible, you discard Koschei as many times as you can with Asanbosam's effect in the early game)
Key combos and lines
Captain Ahab, when placed in a slot that activates its ability twice, will do it as follows:
The first activation on one target.
The second activation on that same target; if you eliminated that target, the second activation will be on a random opponent card (I still don't know what happens if another card eliminates your target before the first activation).
Always remember to summon first the characters that activate an effect when there's a discard (e.g. Brides of Dracula, Old MacDonald) before those that perform a discard (e.g. Genie, Asanbosam)
Another good combo is Quasimodo discarding Aladdin and therefore summoning it, but be careful with the other low-cost cards you might have (even the ones Genie or Spellbook can give you)
Matchups
If you're up against a deck like Robin Hood, constantly check that your units have more than 2 Health, since they could leave you without bodies on the board; also try to quickly force Bullseye's activations onto Red Knight, and sometimes you'll also be able to force it with Brides of Dracula.
Against decks that spam the board with small monsters, you can use King Shahryar or Shahrazad to stop them for a few turns thanks to their high Health and because their effects are very beneficial for you.
Likewise, you may have to sacrifice some life with Red Knight to slow the opponent down; nevertheless, in the mid game you'll be able to counter the opponent more efficiently with Dracula and Captain Ahab.
