I see it now, all the broken deathrattle cards are being removed from the game and new balanced ones are being added... I for one embrace our new Old God Overlords
So I ran it for a bit last night, climbed from 5 to 4 at about 60% win rate, and it is quite fun. It does surprisingly well versus Secret Paly. Most of my losses were to Warrior/Mage (control/patron/tempo) which are a minority on the ladder, so I'd say it's viable. I was considering swapping one Piloted Sky Golem for a Sylvanas Windrunner but I'm torn because the extra point of damage has made a big difference quite a few times, and once he rolled me a Sen'jin Shieldmasta just when I needed him.
This looks interesting if a little bit heavy for a raptor rogue. The high number of taunts will certainly help it with the common combo druid, anyone tested to see how it fares vs Secret Derpadin? I'll give it a shot tonight for sure!
Troggzor the Earthinator didn't really work well in this slot, but that was mostly due to Dr. Blanced, this guy may find a place in control. Let's not all go sheeple and follow the comment meta (say everything sucks because everyone else does)!
Why is this junk still on the front page? They obviously artificially boosted the rating with fake accounts (comments make it apparent), why haven't the Mods taken it down yet?
I'd just like to point out that the game's really sad when the only place people try out "fun new things" os all the way at the top of the ladder. If that isn't a sign of problems in this game, I don't know what is.
I agree and so does Blizzard, that's why they're introducing standard mode
To all those complaining that they are losing repeatedly in ranked, please keep a few things in mind:
The meta is different at every level of ranked, near the bottom tends to be a lot of aggro, around rank 9-10 you transition more into secret cancer/combo druid, and 5-1 is a mixture of the two with more control mixed in, and legend is where people try fun new things (sometimes, there's still a lot of cancer and druid). Additionally, the meta and skill level changes over the time of the day, with afternoon to early evening being the most diverse and "easy" with more casual players, and late night to morning being full of the "tier 1" decks and more technically sound players. You're not going to climb by picking one deck and playing it over and over, you have to adapt to the meta you are in. The decks this is strong and weak against is clearly stated in the guide, and I tend to agree (although my win rate versus paladin is actually a bit higher, about 55%).
Finally, take a look at the screenshot and keep in mind the context; the op is a legend player who only plays hunter decks. This deck has tons of nuance and hard choices in every turn that can play out to a win or a loss, things like "do I burn my Wild Pyromancer now and clear the board or do I hold him to clear away other minions on turn 6 against Mysterious Challenger?" You can't just pick this deck up and auto-pilot to legend like you would with Secret Cancer
I really like the deck idea, good thinking! I made a couple substitutions and so far am 3-1 at rank 7 (Edit, 6-2 at rank 6): -1 Dr. Boom -1 Ysera +1 Prophet Velen +1 Chillmaw

They really should have just made it: Give your minions "Deathrattle: Listen to Ben Brode laugh at you for the remainder of the game"

Except they're taking it away :(

Is it just me or is it hard to tell what's going on in the card art? It looks like some guy riding a bug??

Who won the hour of free coaching? Or is it still open? )

Interesting take on the classic tempo, I'm intrigued!
