Is Lyra the Sunshard a must-have? If not, any replacements?

It can not be replaced, because it makes "infinite" heropower and it refill the hand.

But you find the answer in comment, if you need more details.

Looks good mostly, I'm gonna give this a try, but might try to fit in Elise somewhere... is that too greedy? I run out of cards at the end.

yes it is, because, Elise makes your deck slower.

Hmmm, I have exactly the opposite experience, although I'm climbing from dumpster ranks, as I've started playing HS again a few days ago with a month break.

No problems with Hunter, but you have to be extremally careful with removals and healing. PW is a joke. Keleseth Rogue can be problematic, but if your opponent doesnt Shadowstep [/card] [card]Prince Keleseth 50x on turn one, it can be good. Currently faced 4 Jade Druids, won all the matches.

HOWEVER this deck runs Skulking Geist and I'm not sure if it's the best choice. Idc if Jade Druid runs Jade Idol, I need to cycle as much as possible to get Raza->Anduin and smash the face. Lack of 1-drops will make pulling the Machine Gun combo almost impossible. I do run Prophet Velen.

Maybe your problems come form the fact you don't "get" the win condition. I used to have something like that with Control/Burn"Gunther (call it what you like lol) Mage in Un'Goro - it was top tier, and yet I'd had a terrible winrate because I used too much burn to control the board instead of slamming face. Highlander Priest on the other hand is a variant of a face-burn control deck, but doesn't necessarily need burn spells. Instead, you just cycle cards to get as much 0 mana 2 dmg face ticks as possible and THAT is the win condition. Not board control, not fatigue, not aggro. You do need some game knowledge to fight (like DK vs Tirion into Ooze next turn etc., how to conserve 0 or 1 mana cards to get 8-10 face dmg), but in the end it's not that complicated and crazy powerful.

Hope I helped out a bit.

Replacements for Thalnos? I know he's really good but I'm saving to craft Keleseth, Is Tainted Zealot good enough for the spell power or what else should I try?

Bloodmage Thalnos better because of his deathrattle, but you can try with Tainted Zealot

I'm using Tainted Zealot as a sub in my list solely because Spirit Lash is underwhelming without a the buff.

mass dispell pretty decent, all the time i replaced, was something bigger tho, the best combo vs aggro is the thalnos spirit lash, or at 7 the thalnos holy nova, at 8 thalnos dragonfire, go gready take velen

also mirage caller goes with velen, discovered/kazakus demons, goes with radiant+mirge lyra any spell below 2 and then any spell below 2, loot hoarder, acolite, cleric, etc

geist with lyra kinda bad, actually lyra is kinda bad, mb with some thief cards, bully, mukla and a resummon can be viable

yea should be fine replcement

I don't have Lyra, replacement for it?

i recommend Elise the Trailblazer, it will give more ammo :P
