It's a similar effect to Keleseth, but the fact that you can run this as a two-of shouldn't be overlooked. I think this might be good enough to justify running two-drops over Keleseth.
I didn't take a picture or anything at the time, but I am using Hearthstone Deck Tracker and could provide whatever's wanted. Not sure what constitutes proof exactly, I'm a bit new to actually posting things on hearthpwn. So if someone could let me know what exactly I could do for proof that'd be sweet. :)
That's fair. And honestly, Spellbreaker might just make more sense. But when I tried Umbra and got the insane games that I did, I decided it was worth it regardless. Guess I have the chance to do experimentation now though, since I'm not pushing ranks anymore.
Hmm... which Priest decks? Big Priest is decided by their luck essentially, if they highroll there's nothing we can do. Tempo Priest is played similarly to other fast-paced matchups, just always be mindful of Duskbreaker and try to save Sunkeeper Tarim for their Spiteful Summoner plays. Razakus Priest is winnable usually through straight aggro, but if that fails, your only real hope is making a huge swing by getting a Val'anyr buff on Saronite Chain Gang or Doppelgangster.
Doppelgangster is definitely the dodgiest card, mostly included for synergy with Val'anyr and Prince Keleseth. However, 9/9 in stats for 5 with a Prince buff is a lifesaver in some matchups; namely, I know it's paid off big-time a few times against Tempo Rogue and Aggro Pally. I ran a single copy of Smuggler's Run to support it in a different rendition of this list and saw good results, if that's something you wanted to experiment with. Ultimately the Doppelgangsters aren't vital, and you could find decent cards to run instead (Cobalt Scalebane is the first replacement that comes to mind), but I've found they help particularly against Cubelock in winning the value game.
Glad to hear you're having success with it! Most people in the higher ranks aren't expecting you to have this much sustainability, so it's a good fit for the meta, yeah. Thanks for the input :)

How are you going to get the other Mecha'thun out of your hand and off the battlefield?

I thought about pre-ordering the expansion earlier today. I'm so glad I didn't.
RIP Hearthstone.

2-mana draw two is just premium. I don't see a world where this doesn't see play in some kind of meta deck.

Exodia Paladin could use more card draw. This is a solid turn 2 into turn 3 Tar Creeper or Stonehill Defender.

Corridor Creeper sucks in general because it's too good.
I could see Blood Knight being decent in this deck, I'd try it if I didn't have to craft it. I don't think Creeper is the card I'd cut though.

That's my favorite part about the deck, you're not just screwed if you miss your early win. That and the crazy Val'Anyr highroll potential :D
Also, you've got good timing - I just made an update!
