Maybe you can be inspired by Kibler's dragon thief : https://youtu.be/SQ9xdlpj9mk He's always doing nice things :)
Personally, I don't think Drakonid Operative is a good card anymore. It was my favourite card back in the days (I always loved thief priest but it was not viable before this extension I think) but it's too slow now. I also tried the caravan, which is really fun but not viable either unfortunately.
I play a version without the dragon package and I have a really good winrate. I'm still not ok with every card but I love to play it :

Hi ! Nice deck ! I had the same idea and checked here if someone already did the job :D Thank you :)
Ozumat seems a really good idea, but I'm not convince by Bog Beast, it seems too weak. I changed it with Mothership, it's a nice rush minion and the 2 popping minions can buff Sire Denathrius. Since we want to play Xyrella, the Devout early, we will rarely have a lack of board space.
On the other hand, I also changed Identity Thief for Devouring Plague since there are a lot of token deck out there, but maybe Condemn (Rank 1) or another Shadowcloth Needle could be better (nice card against warlock btw!)
Nevertheless, it seems to lack a bit of heal and if you don't have Vanndar Stormpike it's really hard to catch up :(
Nice deck, really - I mean really - fun to play ! Thanks ! Unfortunately, no cards from the latest expansion :(
Super nice to play when a new expansion drops, since you can play the new cards without having them in your collection :D
Maybe a better guide for the mulligan : for the moment, I always keep Cavern Shinyfinder and the Spectral Cutlass because the weapon is the key of the deck !
Also, do not play Academic Espionage if you don't have draw in your hand or Silverleaf Poison on your weapon, because you will probably draw carbage - one at the time - and it's not great ;)
But Cutlass without weapon buff, isn't it too weak ? I kinda feel that a buffed weapon with a few Tinker's Sharpsword Oil duplicated with Valeera the Hollow's hero power is kind of mandatory
I heard a lot of complains about Oh My Yogg! (which I understand mostly, but you can somehow play around it, at least ), but I rarely hear complains about Reckoning.
I think this card is too powerful. In my opinion, the closest card it can be compared to is Vaporize. Vaporize cost 3 mana, only works when the enemy minion go face but it prevent the damage taken. You can play around it by just not going face until you have a smaller minion to sacrifice. It is not a good card, but can save your ass sometimes.
With Reckoning, costing 1 mana, the minion doing at least 3 damage die, even if trading, even if it is a battlecry. Yes, the damage is not prevented, but is it fair? You cannot really play around it since you loose a 3+ attack minion (or 3+ damage battlecry) no matter what, which is really impactful for a 1 mana spell with a lot of secret synergies. The most frustrating part, in my opinion, is the fact that you cannot trade with a minion with more than 3 attacks. It is too strong.
I would change the card, for example, by removing "enemy" it the text (so you can play around) : "After anenemy minion deals 3 or more damage, destroy it" or maybe making it destroy the second minion doing damage on the enemy turn. Whatever, something you can play around.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you now a specific method, tracker or plugin to track the "from another class" cards played in a game ?
To have an overview of what Tess Greymane or in which pool Contraband Stash will play.
Apart from good ol' pen and paper

Hi ! Really cool deck and with a really nice guide too :)
I am just wondering something : is there no better 3 drop than Mankrik ? Because we don't draw a lot, so maybe another 3 drop could be better. Maybe Hog Rancher or Frozen Shadoweaver for tempo, Death's Head Cultist, Fairground Fool, Overconfident Orc, Mor'shan Watch Post or even King Mukla for milling purpose ?

I don't get it :(
How are we supposed to know that we have to set minions's attack to 4 ?
And how is the minions's attack changing when we hit them ? What is the pattern ? Is there any pattern ?
Haha I'm lost

Nice deck ! I switched Doctor Krastinov because I don't have the card with Captain Greenskin and it works too !
Cutting Class and Secret Passage are fixing the lack of draw which is the main issue with this kind of deck.
A lot of fun, really :D

Nice deck ! Any idea to replace Dragonbane ?
Defender of Argus, Animal Companion, maybe Imprisoned Felmaw ?
