The point of Alexstrasza is to deal a large chunk of damage to your opponent (or heal yourself back up), while forcing your opponent to waste resources the next turn to deal with the 8/8 body. I don't think anyone ever counts on Alex surviving, regardless of the situation. If she does, it's just a bonus.
If there was a 9-mana card that did 10-15 damage to your opponent and forced your opponent to choose between paying 3mana next turn or having to deal with an 8/8 body, wouldn't you play it?
She is actually better than what I described above, obviously, since your opponent doesn't always have the means to deal with her at ALL (esp for only 3 mana). Alexstrasza is the most powerful card in the game, imo (I won't commit to calling her "the best", though), and she fits well into any late-game deck.
As for the Loot Hoarders, I play 1 Youthful Brewmaster (applications are obvious) and 1 Tinkmaster Overspark (works beautifully with your 1/1 dudes and can deal with concealed and/or very powerful minions).

Dude, don't you have to include the other 25 cards?

I so want to use one. If you make a deck filled with spells (not 100% but maybe 15 spells) would Velen be any good?

A third Ancient, just combined the effects of the other two.
EDIT: Someone just pointed out to me that this is just ancient of war, but terrible. I can't delete, according to the rules, so this will just screw around here for a little
EDIT: Someone just pointed out I can change the card's stats. So I have changed the card's stats. (Aren't I so eloquent?)

Think he has to be a bit more expensive

Right. Because this tavern brawl would be awesome if you could get Ragnaros the Firelord or Boulderfist Ogre or Deathwing on turn 3. that would be hilarious and great. *SARCASM*

Guys seriously. It's a Hunter Pyroblast for 3 less mana. It does bend to taunts tho.

Patron Warrior is OP? You don't say. I bet you there's an old thread ranting about patron you could have posted on instead of making a new one.
