The deck of Neonangel didn't work for me (tried at least five times). Took the deck of nightwriter2000 and defeated Rend Blackhand on the second try (replaced a couple of cards which I didn't have):

I'm late to the game but I finally bought it. This deck seems to rely solely on the luck of the draw. Every round I get completely overwhelmed no matter how much I clear the board, this deck is pretty useless for me. The closest I've gotten was knocking him down to 14 health, every other round Rend is over 20 or 25 health and I am stuck without solutions.

Usually Neonangel's decks do the trick for me, but after two tries trying that deck, I designed a druid deck that uses some of the same minions and won it for me on the first try:

2 Innervate

2 Moonfire

2 Mark of the Wild

1 Power of the Wild

2 Bloodfen Raptor

2 Healing Touch

2 Druid of the Flame

2 Ironforge Rifleman

2 Ironfur Grizzly

2 Swipe

2 Gnomish Inventor

1 Mire Keeper

2 Grim Patron

2Starfire

2 Dark Arakkoa

2 Ironbark Protector

Thank you so very much for posting this! I beat him with 29 health on my first try!!! You're the best. Watch this and imagine he's talking about you: https://youtu.be/kp1kuo6xkbE?t=241. You're welcome.

Awesome. Glad it worked out for you, too. Most of the credit still goes to Neonangel, though, as it still uses most of the recommended cards. :)

Was having trouble as well, your deck made this super easy.

I didn't have Dark Arakkoa, but Druid of the Claw and Sunwalker both make good replacements.

Altered deck, won second try.

2 Mirror Image

2 Arcane Explosion

2 Frostbolt

2 Micro Machines (nuetral card)

2 Arcane Intellects

2 Deathlosrd (nuetral card)

2 Harvest Golum (nuetral card)

2 Fireball

2 Polymorph

2 Chillwind Yentl

1 Grommish Inventor

2 Water Elemental

2 Sludge Belcher (nuetral card)

2 Blizzard

1 Sunwalker (nuetral card)

2 Flamestrike

Thanks, first try win

Tried the the deck they have for this guide first, got close buy failed 3 times. Then swapped out the cards for the build you listed here and 1 shot it, thanx! :)
