Finley is definitely not necessary in the deck. Curator drawing 2 cards is already Ancient of Lore value. No need to dilute your good draws with a 1-drop that provides negligible tempo. Druid of the Flame vs Mounted Raptor is a pretty hot topic. I favor Flame as it's a good answer vs the many 3/2s in the meta.
Barnes can have high highs, but it's low points are still better than many other 4 drops available. There aren't many relevant 4 drops in the late game. Even if he dies early, Onyx Bishop ressing it isn't the worst value in the world. Still above average for sure.
Can I play Sir Finley over anything? I have every card in the deck, but I've been playing Finley in every Druid deck I make. I mainly aim for life tap, but there's often a better hero power for nearly every match-up. In your experience, what is the least beneficial card for the deck?
Do you have any suggestions for non-budget replacements?
In my experience, if I ever draw both innervates, I always lose. The loss in card advantage is far too great. Is it worth it to run 1 instead? I'm considering replacing it with a charge minion for more burst with savage.
Why split between Rockbiter and Lightning Bolt? Are you trying to take advantage of both spell damage and activating eggs? Fairly certain that Rockbiter is better for consistency with eggs, while spell damag is a luxury.
If you fireball it, you can get a Cairne, for example. If it dies to 1 damage, it summons nothing, because there are no 1-mana legends. Might be fun in control warrior with shield slams or buff priest with velen's chosen.
It would drastically weaken decks without hard removal. So priest, shaman, mage, warlock, and warrior get better. Druid, rogue, and paladin get worse. Hunter stays hunter.
Do you consider every card in the deck to be essential? Do you think faerie Dragon is important vs the faster decks that you wouldn't run a card with higher value over it? I'm trying to raise the curve of the deck so I can spend spells with maly instead of using them to keep the board because the minions are too low value.
Bonus luck based effect to fit this week's theme. Encourages crafty deck building and the use of even more sevens! Also deprives your opponent from getting boombots, which is cool. Great combo with bgh.
I think there isn't anything too convoluted with how the cards are worded, but if you have any questions on some interactions, let me know.
Flavor should be pretty self explanatory. If it isn't, I have failed you.
Obvious 6 mana 2-card combo with Muster for Battle, Hero Power, and Nest Thief. Onyxia, Violet Teacher, Implosion, Imp Gang Boss, Dark Wispers, Unleash the Hounds are also combo options. Can you come up with others? If the combo is successful, drawing a second Nest Thief isn't completely awful since it can proc Brooding Dragon. Otherwise, Nest Thief is just a self whirlwind.
Aims to promote a combo deck for a cool control card, instead of a combo just to burst down an opponent. Thoughts on flavor and balance?

Yeah, you want to mulligan for statues and watchers. If you don't get em, it's no different from any other deck opening with all 5+ cost cards.

Clockwork Knight is the easiest card to remove for it.

Brooding Dragon is a token.
