I built this deck as posted 8/7/2020 which included 2x First Day of School and 2x Argent Braggart. I had a win loss rate of 2-2 with both losses being to an aggro deck. I'm certain if I continued playing this version my winrate would have gone up as I probably was unlucky but yeah.
So to counter, I removed 2x First Day of School and 1x Argent Braggart for 2xWild Pyromancer and Lord Barov. This was a monumental change and I reached D5 with a record of 18-4 for v1.1. Often, Lord Barov was just sitting in my hand and caused some deep anti-synergy as it set my minions to 1 but was useful in 2 games where I had a bad draw and was facing aggro. However, 2xWild Pyromancer is a MUST in this deck - its so powerful and provides so much synergy its insane with discounted Libram of Justice and buffs (keeping it alive). This card has proved more than useful for me.
I am not a fan of First Day of School in this deck. Although, I understand its to "get on the board" - often if you don't have any buffs its quite bad and the 1-drops in wild are often meh due to the many filler cards printed. If you have High Abbess Alura and was running other spell burst, perhaps it would be better to have a 0 cost spell [ I haven't got her to test it out... 😢 ]
Final edit and a thank you:
Hi, I just hit legend for the first time with this deck after also changing out Consecration for Sphere of Sapience with a winrate of 38-11 (78%) from Platinum 9 to Legend. I just wanted to thank MontyPlays for posting this decklist, it has been an absolute blast to play and I never felt I was just grinding the game for legend.
tbh, I'm fine with them charging reasonable prices for cosmetics - I'm more suspicious of them hiking the time and effort required to grind enough gold for packs.
Thanks for sharing this decklist, really enjoying playing it!
I've had some trouble with aggro decks that tend to go wide on the board. Decided to cut 2x First Day of School for 2x Wild Pyromancer - felt it was reasonable as in wild there are more "bad" than "good" 1-drops. - Felt this was a good change as wild pyromancers often 1 saved the game.
Also, I'm currently exploring Lord Barov over a second Argent Braggart. Felt playing 2 8/8s and 3/4 on turn 3 is enough to make them concede :)
think you're correct about Shirvallah, the Tiger but remember that you also have 2 copies of molten giant - 20 damage turn 5 from hand is preettty good. :)
Edit: After playing a few games with this deck I've found often that I draw both holy wrath and lorekeeper quite late in the game - so I was able to do Lorekeeper and Holy Wrath on the same turn (turn 9).
If you are using Windows 10, you need to go to the Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services and turn them on. This allows Hearthstone desktop app to find the location you're using it in. :)

NOOOO - separate currencies always increase microtransactions.

think they mean to make it every expansion cycle.

I really hope they do in this model instead.
My dream would be for them to offer the battle pass purchasable in Gold as well - if you play a reasonable amount, you can make a profit.

do you receive a golden hand and deck from your opponent with golden Mindrender Illucia?

quick question: is there a guarantee the legendaries we get from the bundles are going to be different from ones we already own?

I think thematically, paladin over warrior should have a studies card

I think this effect should have been on an epic.
