The three leaders have made an alliance between the highlander cards, the dragon tribe, and the mech tribe. I have played this deck to get over 100 wins with it, and it is extremely enjoyable to play. So many different synergies between mechs and dragons, the power of highlander cards, interesting decisions about using Dead Man's Hand, and a powerful Rattlegore and N'Zoth, the Corruptor endgame make this deck both fun and relatively powerful for an off meta deck. With plenty of taunts, armor gains, removals, and heals, I actually have a positive winrate with it against both secret mages and darkglare warlocks! Playing this deck, like many reno decks, takes practice to be familiar with your outs in different situations and how to play best against certain decks. I increased my winrate with it over time by seeing what plays led to wins and losses against different deck types. If you like reno decks, I would highly recommend trying this deck out as it has a different playstyle from common reno decks like reno mages, warlocks, and priests.
Key Cards
Zephrys the Great is a flexible card, you can use him to heal yourself, get burst for lethal, get a removal, or even get a Tirion Fordring for your N'Zoth, the Corruptor
Reno Jackson is a heal that helps your matchup against aggressive decks.
Dr. Boom, Mad Genius gives your mechs rush and provides a ton of value, armor, and removals for the late game. His hero powers often synergize with Lord Barov to provide a full clear.
After Rattlegore dies a couple times, N'Zoth, the Corruptor will often summon a full or nearly full board of them. This has usually won me the game against slow decks.
Here is an example of this type of endgame:
Lord Barov can be combined with multiple cards like Risky Skipper and Bladestorm for a full board clear
Ringmaster Whatley is amazing card draw, he draws you a mech and a dragon and Risky Skipper if you have not drawn it yet. Acolyte of Pain can combo with multiple cards like Risky Skipper, Bladestorm, Minefield, and Dyn-o-matic to draw you multiple cards as well.
You have Stage Dive and Town Crier which both draw rush cards from your deck, so you can often have Kargath Prime in hand early.
These big dragons activate your dragon synergy cards which require a dragon in hand, and Deathwing, Mad Aspect is a great board clear and big threat in one card while Dragonqueen Alexstrasza is great for generating more threats later in the game.
Dead Man's Hand is very good in slower matchups. It can help prevent fatigue, shuffle big threats like Rattlegore, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, and N'Zoth, the Corruptor into your deck, and shuffle in more removals such as Zephrys the Great, Brawl, and Lord Barov. I have a very high winrate against slow control and value decks mostly through the use of this card, even winning against a warlock that used Tickatus to burn 10 cards in my deck. Dead Man's Hand will not shut off your highlander cards if you play it early on, so if you have some useful cards in hand like Zephrys the Great, Rattlegore, and Kargath Prime it is often a good idea to play Dead Man's Hand earlier in the game before playing those powerful cards so that you can draw extra copies of them later. Deciding when to play Dead Man's Hand is probably the most skill based play in this deck.
Note about Kazakus, Golem Shaper: There are 2 cards in this deck that can draw your only other 4 cost card, Kargath Bladefist: Stage Dive and Town Crier. So you should be able to activate Kazakus, Golem Shaper consistently.

what about outriderʼs axe? i know it's a 4 drop, but it feels so good
It’s an awesome weapon but the power of Kazakus outweighs it. So I wouldn’t play axe bc it would make Kazakus too inconsistent.
Any suggestions on a cut to add one more legendary? I want to swing my wallet around in peoples' faces, and I simply can't do that with only 14/30 legendaries.
cool deck, though kingsbane rogue is a real pain in the ass.
If you’re seeing a lot of kingsbane rogue try teching in a Kobold Stickyfinger instead of Rokara.
Thank you very much for this deck, lots of fun!
I'm gonna try and replace Ringmaster with Silas. Maybe I'm too greedy but Ringmaster just sits in my 8-card hand pretty much until the game is over. Silas is so much fun and synergy with Doomsayer is nice. What do you think about that?
Once again thanks a lot, since release of Barrens I hate standard. No room for Garrosh in current meta.. Thanks to you I can find joy in this game in wild instead :)
Thanks! I love wild a lot too. Silas sounds fun and doomsayer combo seems really nice, try it and let me know how it goes!
Combo works like a charm against res Priest. One game it was resurrected three times lol. "Your opponent left".
I don't feel like I miss Ringmaster but sometimes lack tool to draw Risky.
Gonna keep Silas anyway, more of use to me.
is that deck solid enough for climbing in ladder?
For diamond yeah for legend maybe but it would be such a slow grind, it’s better to use a more competitive deck.
