I've been having little to no luck defeating Reno Priest with Reno Warlock in Wild, it seems Lord Jaraxus is a lose condition versus Shadowreaper Anduin as reducing your life from 30 to 15 is too much of a risk to justify the 6/6s and weapon destruction is in every deck now anyway. So recently I've been considering Sideshow Spelleater, the card seems really good in control mirrors as it coppies all of the DK hero powers and Justicaar Trueheart hero powers. Has anyone tried replacing Lord Jaraxus with Sideshow Spelleater in Renolock before, and does Sideshow Spelleater copy Shadowreaper Anduin's hero power with the Raza The Chained cost reduction? I've been theory crafting the card for awhile, and I think it should also be really strong vs Pirate Warrior and Aggro Shaman as well since their hero powers are more defensive than aggressive for their archetype. The added benefit is that it's one less 9 drop and one more 6 drop for the midrange beatdown approach and overall less conditional than Jaraxus to play at any given time.
Any other Wild Renolock players out there who have been struggling to beat Renopriest and turned to the unorthodox lately?
Are you playing DK Guldan? He's WAAAAY better than anything you'll get off of Sideshow Spelleater. Lord Jaraxxus is just dead these days because of Priest DK.
What list are you playing with, by the way? Combo, demon, etc.
I've tried it both as a meme and as a serious competitive tech. Most of the time it is sadly a dead card, especially if you get it after you play Bloodreaver Gul'dan. you shouldn't have too much trouble beating renopriests as demonlock though. Unless they get both pieces on curve you are not unfavored to win. However, if you are playing jaraxxus at all in this wild meta you are just asking to lose! :/

If you copy Anduins DK hero power after Raza, does your hero power cost zero?
I don't think so. The discount is not part of the hero power, but an aura effect from playing Raza. If it would be connected to the hero power, the discount would be removed if the hero power changes. But that is not the case. You copy the hero power, but not the cost of it.

No, raza's effect is like the c'thun Buff, the Crystal Core Buff or the Jade golem counter, they're attached to the Hero and take effect regardless of what you do to them, we actually need a way to see all those buffs attached to the heroes.

I'm not using DK Gul'dan because I'm using the Leeroy/Facless combo and haven't figured on how to add Gul'dan and the demons on top of it, should I give up on the Leeroy/Facless combo for Feugen/Stalaag (I worry I get wrecked by Entomb) or play the demon heavy version with Gul'Dan?
All I know is Lord Jaraxus is out, even if I only get Priests healing hero power or DK Anduins hero power I think it'd be better than Lord Jaraxus at this point.
These are two lists I've been thinking over, the 10 drop focused version.
I'm perfectly ok with not getting the combo off in most of my games as I typically use Leeroy to fuel my board wipes and Faceless to get more Deathrattle value.
Here is a demon combo version with 1 less Deathrattle than the typical 6, I figure Faceless can fill in most of the time anyway by copying their stuff or my stuff for redundany - I've had a feeling Mistress of Mixtures is actually a bad card in Renolock for awhile because it's really low value and there is more impactful anti-aggro tech to fit in like Galaka Crawler or Mind Control Tech.
For what it's worth I stopped using stuff like Doomsayer and Dirtyrat awhile ago because Doomsayer ruins Kazakus Potions and Dirtyrat has straight lost me games to unlucky pulls.
