How are you going to push to legend with the odd-mech? What's the game plan with the current hotness of Odd Warrior and any druid?
Lost against none so far. Kangor's Endless Army and the option to build tall vs. wide gives you about 4/5 different playbooks. If you're also lucky enough to hit a Divine Shield weapon buff, you are unstoppable. I will say though, I've only encountered 1 warrior who drew absolute pants, and 2 druids who were clearly waiting for me to go wide to play SP, and since they couldn't just kept on ramping. Didn't end well for them when I added 10+ attack in a turn with an already tall board. I will likely hit a wall at rank 2, which is always where it heats up, but so far, so good. My non-odd deck I posted is my backup plan. I'll post back here when I've hit it hard again tonight, hoping to be rank 2 by close of play today.
I honestly feel that Odd Pally with the mech package is better than OG Odd Pally right now, just because of the deathrattle, combo and control decks int eh meta as of late. Using cards like Mechano-Egg and Kangor's Endless Army to close out tough games is critical. Also, just because a deck has a high winrate doesn't mean that it's going to work for you. For example, I have a relatively low winrate with Zoolock, but an 80+% winrate with Even Warlock. So just find out what suits you, and just tweak it when necessary.

This is absolutely true for the whole game. I absolutely, positively suck with token druid, and it's a disgustingly powerful deck right now. I'm not a bad player, the deck just "feels" wrong. Yet with a second-rate aggro pally deck, my winrate is probably around the mark of your even warlock, probably around 75%. HAS to fit your playstyle, in order to make it a really successful deck.

I wasn't planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
I only play Paladin, since it's the class that I have more cards for. I started at 6 in this season and went to 5 with Odd Paladin. From then on, I am stuck at 5-4 and can never break from 50%. Odd Warrior is as close to concede as it gets. Most of the times Druid too, although you can luckily Magentize something and ride a high board to town.
The only really good matchup is Odd Rogue, that it just can't stop you unless it gets a Consecration from Blink fox.
Then I switch to Odd-Mech and didn't improve any of my matchups. Then I switched to Egg-Control and now I can beat Warrior consistently, it's almost autowin against Druids but now I struggle against Odd Rogue.
Would you guys like to see how I play my current deck list?
Happy to record some games without audio and talk over them with some tunes, breaking down my thought processes etc and you guys can drop some comments!

I'm trying your mech/odd decklist sky, but not having much luck. What I'm going to do is record a few games and chuck up a vod, just to get some feedback. Maybe I'm playing it wrong.
Darnit, my licensing ran out for my Video Software so can't edit at the moment.
Long story short though I've dropped to rank 13 - I enjoy the deck but it doesn't seem that great?
What sort of cards are you looking for in your mulligan stage?
What is your game-plan against Druid and Warlock?
Let me know!
Use HSreplay man, best thing. For those two I always mulligan for the creeper, keep a glowtron and possible a weapon in hand, but a 1/1 taunt will do fine as well (although I prefer it for stalls later on).
Warlock - magnetize early and flood the board, swing tempo as soon as the creeper hits 0 and build up the board. Trade on almost everything, but getting that creeper on the board and a weapon in hand are key. This is the one time where you want to throw Level Up! as soon as it means you'll come out with the board, as early as turn 5, which is why smart trading is essential. At rank 13, people will try to go face if they have buffed minions and sometimes forgo to clear dudes.
Druid - Build tall from Turn 5 onwards, flood the board before to activate 0-cost creepers for later, I keep Vinecleaver and Void Ripper in hand. Pile up your attack buffs for a single turn takedown, wait for the appropriate moment without taunts to hit it. Try not to magnetize everything so as not to waste your Kangor's Endless Army. Kangor's Army + Zilliax-buffed mega Mech is your clincher if you survive. Token is an insanely tough matchup, but winnable. You almost have to play the player and not the cards on this one.
If you're struggling with that deck at those ranks, there's potentially something wrong with your gameplay. The powerlevel of the deck is really, really high. Don't be greedy and if you're in a tough matchup, throw caution to the wind man, force them to trade.

Right, so I fell a few ranks after trying Zoolock to power through to 2, but fell back to 5, but picked up a few games with Odd Mech and landed against a token druid where I did exactly the above. I forgot to take screenshots til halfway through, but basically I kept my minions to a maximum of 3 on the board and buffed them to play around his SP, and traded s many minions as possible against his GI's, so as to not trigger SP.
Next turn I flipped the board like the first screenshot.
Then he had to play everything just to counter, knowing I had left minions on his board, negating the effect of a spreading plague, then landed exactly lethal (second screenshot).
That's how you beat druid.

Sorry, they uploaded in a completely different order from what I posted, but you can figure it out if you look at the mana crystals for turns. Anyways, totally beatable.
EDIT: Hearthpwn is buggy as shit these days, what framework is the site built on? Can you guys fix the lag/bugs? I can't be the only one...
This is crazy, it's nothing but token druids at my rank floor, 7 out of 8. No wonder people don't want to run pally. What's happened to the meta? The weirdest thing is that Vicious Syndicate says the matchup is "Oppressive" - it's definitely not. Won 6 out of 7, but boy, do you have to play out of your skin to win!
Idk , you can also play Egg Paladin. Can’t wait to see how high I can climb with it.

Give the ones I posted a go, even in casual, see how they feel. The non-odd variant is very, very resistant against removal.

So far really not doing well :/
Any tips or pointers? Feel like I'm just not doing something right.
Currently filming a few games, only including losses in this video as I wish to learn.

Why not just play some games with HSreplay?
That decktracker also recorders your games.

Thanks heaps that information is really helpful! I'll keep that in mind and continue the testing!
I'm running a Mac, is HSReplay available on Mac? I'll have a look!
It should be!
