The funny thing about HS is that people will complain just about any archtype that is strong.
This is a fun and balanced deck with some very strong sides and weak sides. I've played this deck quite a lot this season and it is very prone to board clears (Hi Priest and Warlock) and very strong against classes that can't deal with big boards efficiently (Hi Hunters, mages and some Druids). The only soul crushing card is divine favor but I still kinda like it as it promotes a certain all-in playstyle.
Beating this deck requires you to have early clears or taunts to stall the game. It is not like the old PW where they build a strong board but also a strong weapon to continue the face damage after the clear (or well... there is difference between getting hit in the face with a 3/2 weapon and a 7/3 arcanite reaper).

Oops, forgot about that one.

You're really going in on the typo, aren't you?

Best of luck!

Highlander Priest does well against it. Two Spellbreaker in Zoolock or Aggro Paladin worked for me last month.

Spellbreaker got me to Legend last month. There were countless games I would have lost to Voidlord or some other taunt if I didn't have it.

I meant Blackwing Corruptor. Thanks for pointing that out!

I made the exact same tech. Val'anyr can make miracles happen against control decks, though.

Hey, thanks for reading, Burberry. I appreciate your feedback.
The meta shifts every day. We'll continue shining a spotlight on new and old deck archetypes as they appear, despite this volatility. And archetype overviews, of course, should never be considered a personal appeal to craft all its cards. If they were we'd all be broke, including myself.
You should know that, as of this writing, the word "tier" appears on this page only three times -- all in your comment. And I'll issue warnings about competitive viability when necessary, as I did here:

Thanks again for reading!

Agreed. The most recent version of Kibler's deck loses Polymorph in favor of Prince Valanar and Ice Block, for what it's worth.
