Ah yes, no beating that except Polymorph, Hex, Sap, Death, Brittlebone Destroyer, Siphon Soul, Coerce, Barkstripper, Black Knight, Torrent, Fireball + 2 smol minions, Kill Command + a rusher and a smol minion, Freezing Trap, Misdirect, Ramming Speed, or any number of other cards that I can't think of rn.
Yep, definitely not one single way to beat an 8/8. I concede every time a mage drops one mana giant or a priest uses Mass Rez or rogue makes a big Edwin.

Deadly Shot baked into a 6/5 body. With dragon synergy. For 5 mana.
This card is crazy good, especially since you can discover more from Emerald Explorer and it can help clear a path to face for Stormhammer. A strong auto-include in any Dragon Hunter deck!

I'm guessing because it's an early drop that combos well with Shadow Visions. I've seen it in a lot of other dragon priest decks, but most of them were running Lyra the Sunshard (which makes a lot of sense since you can get some really absurd spell chains with the 2 of them on the board with Lyra). However, I'll agree it feels somewhat underwhelming in this deck...I've been trying Shadow Ascendant as a substitute in my own deck since throwing it down as a follow-up to Northshire Cleric or behind a Tar Creeper causes you to snowball hard if left unchecked.

It's been a while since I pulled a legend from a classic pack. Not sure if my extremely long pity timer helped here, but this pack was a nice change from my usual "never lucky" streak :D
(And yes before anyone asks, I dusted Mukla basically immediately. 1600 dust w00t!)

The Medivh, the Guardian + Mind Control package feels somewhat greedy, and the double Free From Amber included as well feels EXTREMELY greedy to me. Could use a few more dragons - possibly Bone Drake - instead for consistency IMHO.
I also have mixed feelings on Eternal Servitude here since this isn't a Big Priest deck, after all.

I can only presume you're joking when you say "world first" since there's nothing too new or interesting going on here compared to Antonidas secret mage, frankly.

Don't disenchant either legendary! They're extremely good cards and, even if golden, are highly valuable cards that you'll want to keep IMO.
Looking at your collection, you have just about everything you need for a budget handbuff elemental deck (plus you can make a few upgrades with Tirion and Wickerflame):
Cough up the 200 dust for 2x Grimestreet Enforcer and you'll be in business. I'd suggest dropping some of the weaker cards from this deck, like both Tol'vir Stoneshaper, 1 Igneous Elemental, and at least 1 Truesilver Champion for your pally legends and your Blazecallers. You might want include a second Spikeridged Steed or a Saronite Chain Gang as well for some more taunts.

Priest or Druid are probably the best DKs in the current meta, and both will continue to be very strong after the upcoming nerfs.
DK Thrall looks like a lot of fun, but since you rely on prayers to RNGsus for wins it doesn't seem consistent enough to warrant crafting to me personally.
DK Rexxar is very strong in slow control games. It's also great in wild for Naga-Giant hunter. However, it doesn't seem that useful in Standard currently.
DK Gul'Dan is another strong DK and, for the brief time that Demon Warlock was tearing up the ladder early in this expansion, a really good choice. I think it will be strong in the long run (plus a really good addition to handlock or highlander decks) but again it's not seen much in Standard at this time in my experience.
My $.02, I'd consider crafting the Priest DK or just saving your dust for now so you don't make another decision you wind up regretting down the road!

Looks like another "should have been a brawl before the expansion hit" brawl. At least it's not cart crash at the crossroads yet again.
