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 :

I would replace Pandaren Importer with Venomous Scorpid.
It's a bigger threat for your opponent in most cases and you can discover copies of cards you already run in your deck which is a big plus since you run many good spells.I would also cut Faerie Dragon and Cobalt Scalebane from the list because they don't provide much value other than having the dragon tag.
Drakonid Operative , Incriminating Psychic and Murozond the Infinite are more than enough to fulfill the Kazakusan requirement.
Raid Boss Onyxia is probably even better than Murozond the Infinite because it always does something powerful.Shadow Word: Ruin should def be on this list.
I would even run more than 2 copies if i could.I also run TWO copies of Cathedral of Atonement because card draw is king.
Same goes for Gift of the Naaru.Thrive in the Shadows is also very good if you need to find your removal.
Same goes for Illuminate.Condemn (Rank 1) can also be quite good if you run into a lot of aggressive token decks (druids, imp warlock).
Desperate Prayer is better than Flash Heal if you run Xyrella.
One mana can make all the difference (especially against token decks).I would also add another copy of Spirit Guide.
School Teacher is still really good.
I even run Brann Bronzebeard just for the combo with this card.Speaking of Brann Bronzebeard.
He can be really good with discovered cards of your opponent or your own discover cards.No Theotar, the Mad Duke ?
C'mon it's a thief deck after all.
And it's by far the most powerful thief card in the whole game.Cards i would also cut:
Boon of the Ascended - too conditional and a dead card without a minion on the board.
Soothsayer's Caravan - only (sometimes) worth it if you play it on curve
Copycat - never paid off for me personally
Lyra the Sunshard - too slow, too conditional, too much rng and the discover pool isn't as good nowadays (still one of my favorite cards ever printed though)
[deck]Deck ID or Code[/deck]
Thank you both so much! I'm on mobile right now, which makes this forum really difficult to navigate, but the info & advice you both gave is amazing & I didn't want it to seem like I'm ignoring it.
I'll go through it tonight & mix up a few suggestions when I'm on my laptop. Deck manipulation also sucks on mobile imo compared to laptop.
I am absolutely amazed at the time & effort people are so kind to share here.

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 :(

Hi, I really like the idea!
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

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

It seems that 4 other cards have been leaked :

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 ?

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 ?
