Is Avenging Wrath necessary in the deck?

Good deck, I tried a similar concept too and it worked out Ok. You could try to add Crystalsmith Kangor to stabalise against aggro.

I realised corpsetaker fits really well. It has taunt and divine shield so it's really ennoying for your opponent to get rid of and if he does trade into it, it's a garanted 6 health and a full uprade to your spellstone. 

If it he doesn't trade into it, it has windfury and you can either combo with Blessing of Kings for 14 face damage (and heal 14) or heal for 6 and uprade your spellstone and have a 2 mana 6/6. 

Personnaly I tried a slightly modified version (its on my account if you want to see it) and encountered two main problems:

1: Not taking enought face damage against control (I tried to remedy it by using light justice for early face damage but it still doesn't work) 

2: Dying too fast againt aggro (could add more taunts but would block the potential damage from control)

On the bright side, I did find a matchup where you can win almost every time: the Innkeeper :)

If you wonder why I don't use Val'anyr, it's because I don't have enough dust to make it.

Very good deck, I won some games but I replaced Hidden wisdom by another Equality and Val'anyr by a Lay on hands for more card draw.
