Great deck, just went from rank 4 to legend with it, but I swapped out the doomsayer for an extra ferocious howl. I had a 100% win rate against warrior. To beat rogue I just swapped from summoning as many lucentbarks as possible to as many grizzlies as possible. I really think the deck is solid but it does take some figuring out.

I would probably sub in a firelands portal for loatheb.

I lot of playing this deck is managing your resources, which is why I like the deck. The only time that you really play to curve is versus pirate warrior since you don't have time to really conserve anything. Other than that a few things are: The only turn one play is the deck is mana wyrm. When  you have a kabal lackey and a secret don't rush to play it. Wait until you need a secret to cost one to generate a large tempo swing. Like turn 5 dropping ethereal arcanist, kabal lackey, and counterspell. I personally have never really found myself needing draw as the games rarely go beyond 10 turns or so. The mad scientist and arcanologist help keep you from top decking secrets in bad situations. Just keep trying with those things in mind, and perhaps you'll find a bit more success.

Congrats! Glad that you have found success with it.

I have tried this deck extensively. It is insanely good. You can beat just about anything as long as you don't draw terribly. I won 12 games in a row from rank 4 to rank 2, playing against a wide variety of decks, and defeated a pirate warrior to reach legend. Thanks for such an amazing deck.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think we can judge until the entire expansion comes out. I will say that the grimy goons mechanic seems very weak compared to the other classes. The kabal have a number of insane board clears now, and the jade lotus can make far larger minions in the form of jade golems much more quickly then the goons can pump out threats. As a result, I think that the dominate classes are going to be druid, as they gained a ton of interesting cards that are powerful and can support a lot of archetypes, priest, as they gained plenty of excellent cards such as the legendary, dragon fire potion, kazakus, etc, and lastly I think shaman only adds more to its arsenal and we will see a lot more control shamans on the ladder, as I think the new cards really do a lot to make it viable. Mage probably racks up there but we will see. As for the other classes, they just feel weaker to me.

Playing death rattle rogue against zoo lock. Played xaril earlier which gave me two shadow step toxins. I was at one health with thalnos and huckster on board against an abusive sergeant. Trade thalnos, draw shadow strike. Shadow step the huckster twice, coin, prep, shadow strike huckster into 16/16 van cleef. Huckster gives me doom guard for lethal next turn. Sickest game ever. 

So I have been maining midrange hunter for the better part of the season going for that golden hero (only 60 wins to go :D)! The hardest deck for me to beat is freaking zoo lock but its possible with some crazy knife juggler unleash combos. Anyways so I finally stabilized against one of these guys turn 7 he has nothing on the board, I have a highmane an a cotw waiting next turn. He has three cards, is at eight mana, as I went second, and I am at 18 health. His cards are leeroy, double power overwhelming and he top decks soul fire for the win. What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
