You don't really need black knight, you will mostly use it vs druid and we already have good matchup against them. If you want it vs mirror, BGH is way cheaper for the cost.
I'm stuck at rank 4 and half with my sylvanas version, I will test with the bursty version [2 faceless, 2 poweroverwhelming]. I don't have thalnos, but I think it could be good.
It is very OTK based, a friend gave me the idea. It works very well againts miracle rogue [I guess I exaggerated this match up, but I've been so unlucky with them] and other rushy decks. You can change 1 power and 1 faceless for Sylvanas Windrunner and something else, like Bloodmage Thalnos, Shadowflame.
Don't take my word for granted, I don't always make the right choices. I still suck at this game but this deck took me straight to rank 6 without any loss. After that I had to tweak it for ranks 5 to 3, handlock is very hated here. LOTS of Big Game Hunters, even from classes that don't need them. At some point on saturday I had to switch to Druid because I was facing shaman every 1 out of 3 games.
I don't play either Jar nor Alex, too slow, I tend to end games by turn 8 (win or lose). I'm currently testing Sylvanas , decent results so far. If she gets hex/silenced means one less silence on a taunted giant or drake (which could cost you the game). The whole idea of "omg, I don't want sylvanas to steal my minions, must sacrifice them all into her" is a thing I love to see, they should just ignore it and develope/deal more damage instead but the silly guys won't learn :D She also works as a pseudo mind control if done right.
I have never been dissapointed from Hellfire nor Shadowflame, I would use 2 of each if I had more space.
I got to rank 4 with this deck and I found Jaraxxus too slow, most of the games end by turn 8, hence too slow for what it does. It is AMAZING for control matches but thats it. I'm using Twilight Drakes, terrible against shaman, but better over all. Silence is not as common as you can imagine (mirror match and druid mostly, but we already have a good match vs druid).
The worst match up I is miracle rogue, what a nightmare. I'm considering a second Shadowflame just for that but still wouldn't help much without something to use it on IN TIME.
I'm just trying to understand your thought process since circle of healing is a dead card late game, you spent 2 cards on turn 3 to make a 4/7 (which seams great but some decks can ignore it) even though cleric + circle can draw you lots of cards also means you might also be healing lots of your opponents creature.... which means you are still in a bad spot. To my mind, circle of healing, cleric and blademaster are "cute" cards (exept for the circle + auchenai combo, that is actually a good combo); great if you have them together but really bad when you don't, worst if a zoo deck is facing you.
I'm just using my MTG experiences to make sence out of these cards, since aggro is a strong archetype and cleric/circle are pretty bad against it (well, that is what I believe, correct me if I'm wrong please) shouldn't we be playing other kind of cards ?
I know The Black Knight is very situational but still an amazing card, better than Cairne Bloodhoof imo: against aggro is a 6 mana just for a no impactful card (obviously good vs control/midrange) but the knight will always have a target vs Zoo, a possible misha, druids, any deck with Defender of Argus. Any minion with battlecry is a good minion, you get something even if they destroy/hex/silence your minion.

Thank you for answering my previous comment ~

Is The Black Knight viable in a priest deck ? and why ?
How about Alexstrasza ?
How much do we really need Circle of Healing package ?

Could Sylvanas be a good replacement for Carine ?
