I'm so glad this came up in the feed. Couldn't agree more. This site has been driving me nuts with its ridiculousness for some time now. I can't believe they get away with it honestly. I've been so frustrated by this I mainly just visit Reddit now a days.
I was testing a divine shield aggro concept last night revolving around the new card Steward of Darkshire. The deck really caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting a strong showing and thought initially it would be more of a gimmicky deck. Much to my delight the deck outperformed my wildest expectations. So much so that I wanted to share it and get feedback on how to make it even better. Here is the deck.
Typical Aggro Deck - Trade only when efficient/necessary - Low curve to flood the board and refill hand with Divine Favor - An early Blood Knight can win the game much like a Flamewreathed Faceless
Card Notes:
Blessing of Might - Cheap buff. Great on a turn 1 Argent Squire. Often hits multiple times due to divine shield. Selfless Hero - A decent choice to trade with. Can often set up her buff optimally. Argent Protector - Currently testing but effective so far. Equality - Great for sticky situations. (Not sure if I want 2) Divine Favor - Heart of the Deck. Rallying Blade - Surprisingly a stud card. Often buffs multiple minions and the weapon damage is nothing to scoff at either. Steward of Darkshire - Heart of the Deck. Abusive Sergeant - Excellent to trade up / push damage and receives buff from Steward. Argent Squire - Great for Rallying Blade / Early aggression with Blessing of Might. Bilefin Tidehunter - Fantastic card. Double buff with Steward. 1/1 taunt helps protect board. Loot Hoarder - Decent two drop on it's own that can get the buff later. Cantrip Twisted Worgen - Stealth makes it playable on curve while still gaining value from Steward later. Blood Knight - OP. Even an early 6/6 has a ton of impact. With BGH at 5 mana now no one seems to have an answer. Ironbeak Owl - Obligatory silence. Still gets buff. Wolfrider - Charge makes it decent on it's own. Steward for max value. Defender of Argus - Helps hide important minions. Often have board presence to make full use.
Please try it out and let me know what you think. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
@Sawovsky Totally agree but it doesn't really bother me.
There are so many viable decks in this game it's ridiculous. At least we have the element of surprise on our side. Most people play pretty poorly against decks they don't know.

I know right!? The Cat in a Hat minion is amazing as well.
I hope it ends up being a staple so I can justify crafting them gold haha.
