So,

I'm the kind of hearthstone player who enjoys crushing the opponent while using as many Big legendaries and Dragons as possible. Thats when i came up with this. Its a classic variation on the reno mage except it cuts most of the tech cards like Second-Rate Bruiser, Mistress of Mixtures etc, in place of Dragons. 

Performance on ladder is surprisingly good, especially against reno mirrors as you can keep dropping big minions until they run out of removal. Against aggro it is a similar story, so long as you mulligan for early removal (Volcanic Potion, Frostbolt and Arcane Blast) and weapon removal (Acidic Swamp Ooze). Having Reno in your open hand aswell as quick removal is a good idea to get a quick concede. Against midrange its still a good idea to keep early(ish) removal as totem golems and 4 mana 7/7s are always a pain. 

Mulligans 

-Shaman

Best to keep Frostbolt, Reno Jackson, Volcanic Potion, Polymorph, Ooze etc. In general try to stay alive until turn 6 when you draw Reno

-Warrior

Oh Jeez, the only way you lose this matchup is bad draws so make sure you have enough early removal to survive until turn 6 when they choose death.

-Rogue

Most likely its going to be a pirate aggro kind of deck so similar rules apply with Warrior and Shaman. The way to win is to expend their resources (Cold Bloods, Eviscerates and suchlike)  until they eventually concede, having Ice Block is key.

-Priest

Easy prey. Just make sure you deal with their minions ASAP because of health buffs. Its either going to be Reno Dragon or Dragon so they are only really going to have 2 Shadow Word: Death and 1 Entomb at most, make the most of this, bait with Emperor Thaurisan and Alexstraza so you can drop that Ysera next turn and watch them struggle with that 4 attack stat.

-Druid

Probably the hardest matchup, the best thing to do here is clear their jade golems and drop big minions asap. Probably keep things like Doomsayer to stop them from snowballing too hard.

-Mage

Probably the best class to come up against, mulligan for early game removal + early game dragons and watch them slowly run out of ways to deal with your minions. Should be an easy win

-Hunter and Paladin

Haha what a joke


Specific Card Choices

Twilight Drake - On many occasions this card has proved its worth in control match-ups as the first few turns are spent building up a sizable hand 

Ysera - Easily the best minion against priest and mages, once you have wasted their Polymorphs and Entombs on Rag or Thaurisan it can generate an insane amount of value 

Overall this deck is generally an all rounded deck, in my opinion, but please, this is my first deck guide and i am open to different changes and alterations to the deck.

Thanks for reading
