UPDATE 8/19/22 - Below

Hey everyone!  Here's my current XL BIG WARRIOR list.  I'm sure I'll change it a little so please CRAFT AT YOUR OWN RISK.  Seriously, just put other BIG Minions in there if you don't have 'em.   

With Prince Renathal, you have 40 health and 40 cards.  So I put some more BIG Minions in the list.  I'm trying out Conqueror's Banner for card draw and it's done well for me so far.  Of course, you can trade Provoke and Heavy Plate for more card draw.  

You can check my old versions if you want more deck explanation, but I will update this if I have more success with it.  The general idea is to draw Gather Your Party and Commencement to cheat out BIG Minions.  You can also cheat mana with From the Depths.  A second one might be good. 

I'm still working out the mulligan....not sure with 40 health, 40 cards.  I usually keep Gather Your Party, but I'm not sure about Commencement.  I often keep cheap spells, especially against aggro (except Dead Man's Hand).

I try to play Dead Man's Hand before The Boomship.  I might add a second Dead Man's Hand as well.  In general I try to play it after turn 7, and only when I have several BIG Minions in my hand. 

In the mid-game, I try to play Woecleaver.  Then you can get 2 BIG Minions on the board on the following 2 turns (assuming you have 2 to play from your hand.)  Playing The Boomship can often win games, as long as you have a few minions in your hand.  These are the only legendaries you need for the list imo.  (Besides the free Prince Renathal, of course.)

For card changes, there are quite a few options to try.  I might try a Brawl to help out against board decks like mech mage, etc.  Nozdormu and The Lich King were late additions to have some fun.   I'll see how they perform.  I might pull one or two BIG Minions and add a few spells if the deck struggles.

I hope you enjoy the deck, and let me know if you have any ideas.  Have fun out there.

8/19/22 UPDATE

- Nozdormu, + From the Depths

This deck has been doing alright so far.  It's not tier 1 or 2, but you can climb on a good day.   I just hit D5 with it, so it's time to push for Legend!

With 40 cards, it seems a 2nd From the Depths is needed....especially with more BIG minions.  But usually I'm trying to hit a Big Spell or maybe an 8-drop (to play for 5 mana next turn).

I don't think you need a 2nd Dead Man's Hand.  In fact, I may cut it.  You have enough Big Minions in the deck already, so it's much tougher to draw all of them.

Conqueror's Banner has felt great so far!  I'm almost always drawing 2-3 cards, plus you get to see 3 of your opponents' cards.  (Of course they get to see 3 of yours as well.)

Since they "unnerfed" Shield Shatter, it may be worth trying again w/ Frozen Buckler.

I'll try to post another update after more games.
