I was highly reluctant on sharing this deck because it is so good. The one pure counter to it would be Hunter or more appropriately Flare considering secret is what makes it so good. Not the specific cards themselves but the dilemma of facing an unknown mage secret with something like say Cairne Bloodhoof or Water Elemental or even just a lowly Mana Wyrm on board against nothing on their side. I have faced difficult situation like double Kel'Thuzad + Sludge Belcher into a Ragnaros + a fresh Belcher + Ancient of War and still came out on top. Weakest link is probably The Black Knight. I'd swap in Sylvanas Windrunner if I had her.
One of a few decks that run Counterspell. In fact, the true counter to this deck is Kezan Mystic, and this is run in many decks, I have seen it more than ever recently while playing as a Paladin. Also I say there should be a "budget" variant of the deck, given there's a lot of Naxx cards, swap Cairne for Loatheb, and TBK for say Ethereal Arcanist or plain Spellbreaker. Or take any high-mana minions like Boulderfist Ogre in place of both. I've used a variant of this to run to rank 15 two or three seasons ago, and I didn't have legends except Naxx ones (Loatheb was in the deck, and I had no KT that time). Decent, but legendaries here are completely out of place.
