ZUG ZUG. Straight forward and clean. It can snowball into a massacre if left uncheck. The Army Upgrades I use are

-------------------------------------------------------------------
_________ HORDE | HORDE | SQUAD
LEADER ------------------------------------------------------
_________ RANGE | SPELL | UNBOUND(CYCLE)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

THE ZUG
- Summon Darkspear Troll + Grommash Hellscream. These two are your main ZUG ZUG. You want to summon the Troll first, since it is a little slower. Its long range can also help keep it alive a little bit longer.
- Hold 3 gold at all times. If they try to AoE your ZUG, use Cheat Death. You can also use S.A.F.E to clear a wave ahead.
- Summon Harpies when you have excess gold. You always want to summon them later because they are much faster than your ZUG.
- Summon Quilboar when you reach your destination to tank the damage first. They can also be used to grab chests or stop mining. You always want to save your S.A.F.E for situations that require an AoE clear or a pesky unit.
- Use Execute (Overpower) to do damage to towers or for defensive clears.

Counter Measures
- Got a bad hand that doesn't have your ZUG? Play accordingly till you can get your ZUG cycle going.
- Troll controls a lot of air units and his range is amazing. Troll + Quilboar can buy you time for the cycle.
- Harpies can be used for a little distraction or used for units who can't attack flying units. The problem is that they get wiped pretty quick by AoE and you don't want to waste your Cheat Death on them. You could substitute their talent to Trinket Collectors, but it decreases their damage and raises the cost of your build, which you really don't want, BUT they mine gold. So it is up to your preference.
- An example bad hand: S.A.F.E | Kobold | Cheat Death | Quilboar. Try to play a little defensive. Conserve gold for ZUG. You can start with cycling Kobold from the back side of your base, if you want to keep it alive for mining.

Substitutes
- Whelp Eggs (Flame Burst): Can be your SQUAD unit. Can easily help control an area like mines/chests. They can also be used to take tower damage first, so your Hellscream can survive a little longer.
- Pyromancer (Pyroblast): Can be your RANGE unit. Great for taking out a high Health tank or a group with its elemental damage. The issue is that it is slow and can hurt gold management when trying to defend your ZUG units.
- Darkspear Troll (Headhunting): If you can truly keep him alive, then why not. More damage overall.
