1. Introduction
Mihawk has been a good leader since OP14. What changed in OP17 is that he got a ten-DON!! turn with almost no counterplay, and a searcher package deep enough that he reaches it every game.
The deck is often called Fish-Hawk, and the name is the giveaway: the engine is a two-card interaction between a 10-cost Shanks that rests your opponent's entire board and a 2-cost Fish-Man that kills any rested Character for free. Everything before turn ten is spent drawing cards, building a wide board and making sure your opponent can't kill you first.
There's a second, quieter reason this leader is where it is. Read the leader's first line: if your opponent's leader has the <Slash> attribute, you're a 6000 leader with five life. Against Rocks D. Xebec, Green Shanks and the mirror that's a wall their leader can never attack into profitably, and it costs you nothing.
