This is the deck I've been playing lately, great fun and overall pretty efficient for laddering. I have lots of early game to combat aggro, a strong mid game presence, and some powerful late game cards/value to win vs control. The one issue I really have is pirate warrior if they have a really strong opening, same with murloc pally. I was running crabs, but they're just too weak in matches they don't get value in and replaced them with Argent Squire. Would consecration be worth running as a 1-of? The only time I really lose to non combo decks is when I lose the board and that might help a little. Barnes seems to be the only substitution since he fills that mana slot and isn't great unless he pulls one of my premium minions.

Sludge Belcher would be nice:) gives you extra def when summoning NZoth.

I tried sludge in a previous version, but it forced me to remove some early game and I just got steamrolled. As good as belcher is, he didn't quite work in this version without the AoE and doomsayers :(

I'll keep tinkering with that version and see how it goes, but I don't want to turn into a N'Zoth control paladin

What's the reasoning behind not including Truesilver Champion?

Check out my fun and innovative decks here:

Beat your opponent to a pulp with Revenant Warrior or outlast them with Demon Reno Warlock.

Wickerflame doesn't make much sense in a tempo deck. Struggling when losing the board is just the nature of tempo decks, you need boardclears to deal with that, which drifts you more in the control direction. The other alternative is to be even more aggressive to ensure you definitely don't lose the board.

The Curator seems appropriate for that deck btw, you have both beasts and murlocs.

Rally has really good synergy with the divine shield minions and keeper of uldaman. With muster, cog and rally I already have 4 weapons in the 3 mana slot, a 5th just seems clunky

I am well aware it costs 4. Thank you. I don't think you understand how clunky too many weapons is, must be a skill warrior player.

@ophiron on mobile so I can't multi quote. I agree, sometimes wickerflame is too slow, but vs aggro he is useful, especially if I discovered a redemption with hydrologist, block 4 sources of damage and heal 8 is great, it can also protect my other minions. I know the lack of AoE is my decks biggest weakness, but trying to find room for cons is hard. Curator is pretty good in the deck, a previous version ran it but having that much late game is pretty brutal since in my experience the majority of the meta is aggro. Due to my really low curve, this deck can play out very aggressive if I need to, but can also play for a lot of value thanks to the discover cards. Turn 6 lethal with Sunkeeper Tarim is a real possibility in a lot of games but a backup win condition in nzoth is very helpful against other midrange decks like jade druid and taunt warrior/control priest
