Hello all, just stopping by to say that poro decks are a whole lot better than they were last set. I didn't expect poros to actually get this much of a boost just looking at the cards, but in practice it is a way better deck now.
The new cards that really makes Poro decks shine are as follow
Plunder Poro: This card is amazing, it provides such powerful creatures, and from my experience, it only adds positive key words. I have summoned at least 50 of these guys so far and have never gotten Ephmeral/Can't Attack/Can't Block. If you can Scout + Elusive on him you pretty much just win the game from there.
Zap Spray Fan: This card is FANTASTIC in poro deck. With the buff to poro snacks last patch, Zap can now tutor poro snack which is a huge benefeit to the deck. Poro snacks are the most important card when it comes to poro, it allows you to beef up you poros and is great for reacting to board removal and stopping your board from being cleared.
Strong One Drops + Jagged Task Master: Bilgewater brought some suprising one drop synergy, and has some of the best one drops in the game. Cuthroat, Pool Shark, and then your poros all benefeit greatly from jagged task master. Her added damage as well as a great body lets you make your little guys a lot more threatening Pool Shark also is great for card draw and Cuthroat is an great enable of plunder and can end up becoming a solid threat after a task master or two.
Aurora Porelais: This card is better than i anticipated. While it is costly, it helps prevent you from running out of steam and then ability to have more than 3 poro snacks activated is huge for the deck.
With these cards built around, i have created this poro deck which i feel like is actually a solid tier 2 deck. Many of the new decks from this expansion are running on the slower side so this deck is able to heavily punish it by launching early game aggressive while also still being able to compete with midrange decks as you buff your poros.

I decided to go with Twisted Fate in the deck because he is very versatile and can patch in some of the wholes in this deck, such as clearing spider boards or stunning any big elusive guys. Pretty rare to get off his evolve effect since there isn't any protection for him, but you really only need him for his play effect and he makes great removal bait. Heart of the Fluft is also a card that I am only running a x1 of because honeslty i find myself rarely wanting to play him. With board space no longer getting clogged up you don't have to worry about board space at all so it is way better to play wide than to make one big poro that can be taken out by a single spell. I also opted not to go braum because I just don't like him that much without buff support, and there really isn't enough space to run buff support.
This deck can probably be refined, but i feel like it is already pretty solid. A flexible deck that punishes slow decks while still being able to fight for the midgame with most decks.
