    Hmmm... Not really sure what the Mind Blasts are for? I imagine that against aggressive decks you mainly just run them out of resources and against control you don't really have enough burst with just 2 copies. 


     

     mind blasts is your win condition after you play alexstrasza, and yeah, this deck's glaring weakness are armor building classes like control warrior atm, and druid in wild.

    a good control warrior player will prioritize removal and armor gain in this matchup making it almost impossible to beat, so there is no point trying to beat control warrior, no matter what techs you decide to throw in, so you should tech something that helps with other matchups instead of the control warrior match up.

    its ok to have bad match ups, one deck cant beat all the others in any card game, you just try to tech depending on your matchups that are around 50% win rate to improve those match ups. mass silence or spellbreaker can be good against mech hunter yeah, but that tech alone wont magically improve your winrate against them i guess, especially if it hurts your deck to put that tech in.

    if card draw is sometimes a problem i think acolyte does a good job in many matchups, people tend to try to remove it asap for a reason. its a deck i like playing but after the rotation and the prevalence of warrior atm, its hard to shine with it. try some techs to give a boost against tempo rogue matchups which is quite prevalent atm i think, and that should help increase your win rate.

    well it all depends on what techs you'd like to have in your deck. honestly the cards i would consider removing are 1xwyrmguard, divine hymn and zilliax (i think 2 hymns and zilliax is overkill so remove either zilliax or 2nd hymn). other considerations are 1xcrowd roaster, among crowd roaster, 2x forbbiden words, 1x shadow word death are enough for big threats, you can add more minions to keep a board and manage the board with your minions.

    cards you can include are acolyte of pain for more draw. after trying the deck a bit, and seeing the limited dragon pool in standard atm, i think 2x scorchers is ok now, just for board presence alone. 

    techs to consider are ooze for weapon removal mostly, hysteria, holy nova and mass silence, depending on what your needs and bad matchups are.

    i dont have time to extensively test it right now, so if you tell me what matches you want to improve it would be helpful.

    I play something very similar with success similar to yours, though honestly I play it more in Casual than on the ladder so take that into account. My differences/reasoning are:

    -1 Northshire Cleric - one is fine unless you happen get both fairly early. nobody wants to play a Cleric on turn 9

    +1 Shadow Word: Pain - makes the difference against certain key cards (Magic carpet in zoolock , Mosh'Ogg Enforcer in wall/resurrect priest, etc)

     

     2 clerics also make it much more likely to draw one early when you need it. twice as likely to be precise. also as another commenter has stated, it helps later in the game as well, draw is never bad in a control deck.

    shadow word: pain is gold against zoolock, thats a must if you face a lot of them.

    i dont know if there's room for ooze in the OP's list, but its nice to have. maybe the second divine hymn for an ooze?

    edit: i'm not sure about scorcher since odd paladin is out of standard now, does it work for you? plus 2 wyrmguards sound like overkill? i think there is some room for tech choices in your list now that i took a more closer look.

    I teched in a Bloodsail Corsair.  That and my freeze trap seems to even the playing field a bit. 

     why not ooze though? better stats, destroys whole weapon.

    now if it destroyed dr. boom that would be an auto include in all decks. it would be cool if it reverted the warrior back to normal though.

    Quote from JimmySea1620 >>

    All the people saying Jenkins isn't a control card obviously never played it as a 10-28 damage finisher in Handlock with Power Overwhelming, Faceless Manipulator and Emporer. That stole games.

    I don't think that Leeroy is the current problem, but he's always on the fringe if it.

     that doesnt make him a control card, he was played in literally one (1) viable control deck and it was more of a combo deck than a control deck. You say it stole games, its called a win condition of a combo deck, it was their only win condition besides jaraxus against warriors. You had to assemble 4 cards, hit 2 of them with an emperor tick and then hopefully not have a taunt on opponent's board to OTK them.

    it wasnt as bad as highlander priest, cubelock or other wild decks in wild now, if it was that good people would still play it. the game has evolved though and there are way better decks than that right now. so no, leeroy is not a control card, it was once a card played in an OTK combo.

    1 - 0 so far xD went up against a pally and they conceded turn 3 when it was clear I was going to win.

     100% winrate there, good job!

    Seriously thinking about craft Vereesa Windrunner to test this deck

     well Vereesa isnt a safe craft to be honest, if you are low on dust avoid her. Very niche card, there are way better cards to craft.

    Wild is unplayable because of Big Priests. Can you advise if you are taking any actions against that?

     yeah, i would really like to know if they plan on nerfing that deck. i'm thinking about joining them but i wont spend 5k dust just to see the deck getting nerfed.

    I received a golden Myra's Unstable Element and really want to disenchant it. Feels like this is the only deck where its really shining. Maybe I can try that Khadgar mage? :\

     If you don't main rogue, I'd disenchant, only because it's golden though, if it was nornal I'd say stick with it.
