Update: still managing to get top 100 legend with the deck (if you encounter a lot of rogues, play mass dispell instead of defender of argus).

Hi all,
I want to share this awesome deck which I used to reach legend with this season. I managed to reach a 87% winrate while playing on my computer. Additionally I was also 12-1 on my mobile phone. This deck is really able to win every match up, I did not feel really weak in specific matchups. The most losses were because of rogues making a huge edwin or adventurer to which I did not have an answer.

If the deck gets 50 upvotes I will write up a mulligan/strat guide. If you have any questions please ask.
General mulligan choices
Keepers: Northshire cleric, Twilight whelp, Shadow word: pain, Wyrmrest agent, Doomsayer
Situational:
- 4 or 5 drop dragons if you have Twilight whelp or Wyrmrest agent
- Potion of madness and Acidic swamp ooze against pirate classes
- Netherspite historian in combination with a low cost dragon
- Kabal talonpriest if you have 1 or 2 drops
- Reno jackson against pirates
Shaman
Mulligan highlight: Excavated evil (perfect boardclear for most shaman minions)
Warrior
Mulligan highlight: Basically all 1-2 drops
Rogue
Mulligan highlight: Kazakus (get 5 mana pot with 5 dmg or 4 to all to deal with azure drakes)
Druid
Mulligan highlight: Basically all 4-drops (you need to stay ahead onboard)
Warlock
Mulligan highlight: Shadow word death (obviously for 8/8)
Mage
Mulligan highlight: Twilight drake (hard to remove)
Priest
Mulligan highlight: Twilight drake (hard to remove)

I decided to give this deck a shot and so far I am very pleased with the results. The deck doesn't have any match-ups that it has no chance in, and wins in most match-ups frequently. It can easily defeat aggro decks since it has plenty of board clear, enough early game minions, and of course, Reno. It holds up surprisingly well against other control/Reno decks. I have been climbing on the ladder with it and have not had any game that wasn't winnable.
Thank you for posting this deck! :)
The problem with this deck, as well as every other Reno deck, is that you lose consistency, What I do when using a Reno deck such as this, is pick 2 cards that I want copies of - in this case, 2 shrinking potions and 2 Cabal Shadow Priests. And then when it comes time to mulligan, you try to obtain the duplicates, even if it costs you the early game. Card draw is also necessary in most cases, which is why I normally put in an oracle and/or 2 mass dispels (which are very useful in this meta, btw).
AS much as I like Drakonoid Operative, it isn't worth filling your hand up with useless dragons. It's a wonderful card ruined by its situational attributes. Dragons suck,
any replacement for Raza the Chained
Why Museum Curator over Kabal Courier?
I lost every game but 1 where the opponent insta-conceded ..
ya i lost every game but one.
if it's a jade deck you lose on turn 1, if it's some aggro pirates you'll probably lose by turn 5 unless you get lucky with some anti aggro cards.
Priest is always unfavored vs Rogue. If you want to tech specifically to beat Rogue, then tech in Mass Dispel to deal with concealed minions.
wow i was just thinking of a deck like this. works very well
