For the people griping about the deck not being strong... You have to understand how unbalanced this meta is (hence the incoming nerfs). The tier 1 decks are a solid 6% winrate better than the rest of the field. Keep in mind this is including the braindead pilots of the decks. If you play any deck (besides specific favorable matchups and counters) against paladins and spiteful druids it's gonna feel bad most of the time. This deck is perfectly solid. 

I'm doing a little better since my earlier post. Won a few matches.

The OTK Combo requires that you have played at least 2 Abominations. Then Hadronox to resummon them for a total of 4. Hadronox must be killed or naturialized to be able to draw with Witching Hour.

Once the above conditions are met. Spirit Singer Umbra > Deathspeaker (so it can not die this turn) > Witching Hour

Hadronox will summon 4 Abominations (maybe 3 if an applebaum has died). they will do 4 damage each (once on summon from Umbra and once on death. Total 16 damage and killing hadronox and deathspeaker. Then hadronox deathrattle will go off again summong 6 more (maybe 4 if you get 2 applebaums) for a total of 24 damage this time. 40 damage total. 

Im 0-4 with this deck. I dont get how you're supposed to stay so healthy most matches

Eh, too hit or miss. I'm losing pretty consistently against the meta decks at the moment. Lots of fast paladins or cube/control locks that are more efficeient

That's a lot to not have for a deck you're looking in to. If you're having trouble climbing and are limited in cards and dust, I would recommend Zoo Lock. Trumps list is pretty solid. https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1097279-trumps-zoolock and even without the Bloodreaver Gul'dan . He has maybe won me the game like twice. Still a good deck without him, and very cheap. 

Looks interesting. I will have to try it. I started to make an even lock with the same concept (giants/drakes turn 3), but i was having trouble filling in the gaps. Turned mine in to a Hand/Control without Genn. Will play a few and let you know how goes. 

Yep, retiring this deck at 8-12. I get it, feels good sometimes, But it is too slow in my current meta. I'm facing too many fast decks and if you don't draw the potions or runes it's a quick GG. The problem is this, You either need to draw a more defensive or a more aggressive hand in certain matchups. If you need one and draw the other it's too bad so sad. By the time you get what you need you're done for. I get it, more than half the deck is three mana or less, but half of that is tempo/secret and the other half is a slower more clunky play.

There is no coming back from an incorrect draw with this deck. One of the biggest components of deck building is, wha happens when you don't draw what you need. In this case, If you need certain tempo plays and draw control then you're fucked, and if you need certain control plays and you draw early secret mage then you're fucked. 

I highly doubt that Medivh being the only card I don't have in this list makes that much a difference. I can honestly say IF I had him as a turn 8 play he would have won me 4 of those 20 games.

Good deck, not effective in my current meta. 

Oaken summons is pretty good but one or two cards being good for an entire set mechanic is pretty lackluster.

I agree here. You've got the call to arms that makes non murloc paladin work. Then every other recruit is just kinda like.... MEH.

I mean I get it. If you have a minion that pulls another on to the field it needs to be weaker than the average for that mana slot, BUT most of them are so weak that even a recruit gets out-valued by cards like corridor creeper, bonemare, cubes etc.

Unlucky I guess. I just get really bad draws tonight. 4-6. Technically 5-6 but one was a turn 2 concede so I wont count it. I am notice, If I do lose, it's usually to more agressive decks before turn 8. So, Medivh isn't really a factor then, I just don't draw what I need. I bet it would feel better with Medivh. I have DE'd a lot of stuff I regret lol. I am very impatient and dust things to craft a deck only to realize I used to have something to play a new deck I want to try

Gonna give it some more time but so far im 1-3, very frustrating draws with this deck. I'm finding there is not enough card draw in this deck to support the hybrid style it's trying to pull off. Maybe i'm playing it wrong but i'm following mulligan guide to a T and getting wrecked.

Edit: I dusted my Medivh because I had never used him once and he's rotating soon. Put in Thalnos for the extra cycle and 3 damage volcnics vs locks.

One of my favorite expansions solely based off the fact that dungeon run is a blasty blast. Standard meta isn't all that boring actually. There are viable and highly played aggro, control, combo, and midrange decks. Am I missing something? Every class except for 2 have at least 2 viable decks (viable does not mean top tier).

 Yeah , and the fact that the HCT championship dekcs are warlock,priest + other 2 classes out of witch its mostly druid and rouge  doesn't contradict you at all.

And why others are saying its boring

1.Cause of Op cards and a game is decided which of the 2 players draws his op card first /or op combo first.Your being punished for having a bad draw/ him having a good one and losing by turn 4-6 cause of it

2. Cause you can't experiment at all,not only is ranked full of meta copy pasta decks but so is casual to a 80% degree . Now here some will tell you "If you want to experiment go to wild" Ignore the fact that players in wild will play cards that don't appear in standard and you need to alter your play style of the deck accordingly , not to mention the shift from casual and wild casual is something like Hard to Very Easy giving you again inconsistent data cause of the huge gap between the game levels

You can still pull it but it should go to auto disenchant

Ah my bad, I dusted my Medivh awhile back forgot he was a reward from ONIK. Still he's got Frostlich Jaina, Alara, and Aluneth. I would focus on getting the mage cards from the new sets. 

Speak for yourself. I had a shaman quest to play 30 shaman cards. I made a deck and just clicked on every thing that was 3 mana or less. Won a game.... Laughed. 

Really though i suggest take your rank as high as you can or want for the season then experiment in ranked. One I hit 5 I stop really worrying about it unless I'm on a hot streak and just play around a bit, or in this seasons case I hit 6 then started fucking around and am backto 9...oops. Word to the wise... Keleseth Zoo copulated with Doomgaurd, Spiritsinger, Cube combo in my collection. Their baby is "special"
