Quote from Ogobum jump

I also don't think they intend every fight to be balanced and perhaps future prizes may not be a give away freebie but a serious hard-won reward for overcoming insurmountable odds.

 ... like 50 wins with Rag for example

Do we get a golden portrait of Nef if we hit 500wins?

Thalnos. You can pretty much stick him in any deck which runs Loot hoarders as an upgrade. His card text is not spectacular like the other Legendaries but its very solid and great value for his cost.

Patron warrior and Freeze Mage are both pretty fun and competitive, and they run plenty of card draw so Thalnos fits. Ysera is great if you can get him out early with Consort, but I find she's a bit too slow unless you're facing a lotta heavy control decks, and it sux massively if she gets polymorphed or hexed.

Quote from DragonConsort jump

There is no counter to him, there is only one play against him in which you don't lose out and it is priest only.  Mass dispel (priest only) followed by Big Game hunter.  The boom bots kill off BGH next turn, so that is the best play and you get an even trade.  Well you can also do Shadow madness, run a boombot into a boombot, then use BGH.  In every other scenario you lose out badly. 

The correct way to counter Dr Boom to play your own Dr Boom first!

Laddering with Facehunter now (I know, I know, but realistically it's the fastest deck to ladder with) and it's filled with Mages around rank 6-7 NA playing Flamewaker and cheap spells. It's a huge pain having to expend damage (which could have gone to face, face, FACE!!!) to kill it because I can't leave it around to threaten my low health minions like Wolfrider, Worgen Infiltrator or even Huffer.

Quite tough to get around Flamewaker+Coin+Mirror Image on T3

Think it's safe to say Thaurissan is the best value neutral 6 drop. You get immediate value (1 mana discount to all cards in hand), the body is okay (trades with sylvannas, shieldmaiden, ancients), and pretty much wins you the game if it doesn't get dealt with immediately

Deathlord, he's usually super good.

He's actually quite good vs Mech mage, since they usually can't remove him simply with their early drops. When he dies he also pulls either small drops that you can hopefully handle easily(annoyotrons, chuggas) or empty battle cry drops (Blastmage, TTT, Dr Boom!!)

Just had to share this story. Played against a Handlock, he had me down to 10 health with a pair of taunted moltens on the board and he was hovering with 2 health left. I'd used up my Frostbolts and Fireballs, and was top decking. Pulled Unstable Portal and when I played it he started emoting 'Well Played'. Out came Leper Gnome... Boom!

Nothing spectacular, T1 coined unstable portal into a 6/6 Van Cleef :) Good times

Bear in mind though, we haven't seen the full set of cards from GvG yet so it's hard to assess the full value of Spare Parts without knowing if there are further synergies. Fingers crossed for a minion that gets buffed each time one gets played ala Undertaker!

You probably shouldn't DE non golden legendary cards unless you are absolutely sure you will never use it. Why not wait till after GvG comes out, then see if there is any cards in there that would synergise with Noz? Nozdormu is great against bots (not that there are many of them now though) and might work in a Secret heavy deck (the resolving of which eat into the opponents burning rope time) or against decks that run cards with lengthy animations (the new card Bouncing Blade comes to mind).
