I don't think this is good deck. Only one Shadow Visions, 2 Mind Vision, 2 Dirty Rat with no removal like Dragonfire Potion. It looks like it can work against aggro, but will completely suck against control or midrange.
I replaced Deathwing, Ooze and Elise with addiitonal Whirlwind, Armorsmith and Bloodhof Brave. Works really good against aggro.
Edit: After 4 and half hours played went from rank 16 to rank 10.
Class matchups:
Hunters: they always loose
Mages: they always lose
Priests: won 7 of 10 games. Silence Priest is easiest unless godlike draws, Medivh/Lyra/Free from Amber slightly harder
Warriors: encountered only 2, won against pirate, lost against quest
Druids: lost to 1 jade druid, won 5 of 7 aggro druids - if they draw good you can't do anything at all
Rogue: encountered 4 quest rogues, won all 4, but they were playing so terrible that I can't say it is reliable stats, pro rogue player should be harder
Shamans: not encountered
Paladins: win 1 aggro, lost to 1 murloc
Warlock: 3 zoolocks had no chance, 1 handlock raped me with Jaraxxus
Overall impressions - really good deck (keep in mind that I played my version without heavy lategame aka Elise and Deathwing).
There are many Malygos Druids and Midrange Shamans in the current meta. You need Babbling Book to get Polymorph against first and Flamestrike against second. Babbling Book is too good.
WIth all these "add +n/+n" I predict Soggoth the Slitherer Control Warriors rise in popularity. You play 20/30 Soggoth the Slitherer on the board and the opponent is fucked.
I don't understand Blizzard logic. They said they want more interactive game and now they bring all these "add +1/+1 to random card in your hand" effects. How it is interactive in any way ?! I always thought that interaction - is something happening between 2 players. Now we get Freeze Mage style effects where you mostly interact with your own hand. Is it really interaction that we want ?!!
I know, everyone hyped for Priest, but I will be fan of HotMEOWTH Patron Warrior. It is really interesting designed deck, with Blood Warriors and Bloodmage Thalnos in it, and to bring it to such tournament - that's quite impressive from HotMEOWTH.
I feel so. I replaced portals with Bloodhooves and this was really one of the best replacements ever. Random 4-drop is most of the time shit, it is by far the weakest slot in the game, that's one of the reasons why Shredders been used so widely. Heal for 4 also feels underwhelming, Bloodhoof heal you more and also can challenge your opponent's board. I think Bloodhoof is one of the best warrior cards and Ironforge Portal is one of the worst. And Shield Slam with Portal is rare in this meta, I played about 50 games with CW this season and only got like 2-3 such occasions.
I hope they will release it with: "Okay, due to feedback of community we reduced cost of entering fee". So we can actually see that this was planned operation to make us think that they listen to us.
Can't agree on control warrior matchup statement. This deck has 2 Holy Novas and 2 Excavated Evil's, 2 Doomsayers and 2 Wild Pyro, even 2 SW:P. It is clearly built for more aggro/midrange matchups.
Thaurissan is way too slow for this meta, imo. And Yogg can be replaced by anything good, I don't think that occasional board clear from Yogg is better than solid minion or reliable spell.

Do you really think that Blizzard devs are so honest with us ?

Great deck, but I'd definitely replace Lance Carrier with Dire Wolf Alpha

You can imagine how much money Hearthstone brings to Blizzard just by looking to the prize pool.
