    freakinsqueak thanks for your feedback! It is great to hear that you are having so much fun with the deck. I have been enjoying it over its incarnations over the past 6 months or so but it really feels great at the moment. Some other players have commented that they feel like they need more taunt in the deck. I used to only run Sludge Belcher in the past so having Twin Emperor Vek'lor in addition to Crazed Worshipper is great. I like the idea of being proactive and making the other player react to us with big tempo swings such as Edwin VanCleef. If the card is working well for you, I wouldn't switch it. Crazed Worshipper is slightly underwhelming in stats but it does help you get your C'Thun to 10/10 which is nice. Let me know how the swap treats you and try to screenshot your board after the combo if you can - I would love to see it in action. Good luck!

    NiklvRu, thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't having any luck with the deck. Hopefully we can refine it to a point where it is more competitive. It will certainly have to be adjusted to suit the upcoming meta. Do you have any recommendations for improving the early game? More early game minions or board clears? Hope the Old Gods treat you well on your way to legend!

    Thanks for the feedback Spiddey, glad to hear you are enjoying the deck as much as I am. I would love to see a screenshot of the deck in action when it gets crazy.

    Orolol, thanks for your feedback. It is seeming more and more apparent that Doomcaller is a card that can be removed from the deck. I really like the idea of Shadowstep and I am looking forward to testing it out. Cyclopian Horror is certainly a great taunt card and I have tested it a little in the deck with pretty good success. I ended up removing it to test a few other cards but I will have to try including it again.

    Let me know how you go with the changes and good luck!

    This is exactly my thought process but I didn't consider removing Doomcaller, it seems obvious. Let me know how you go with the changes. I am looking forward to testing it later today!

    Hey fathead_thebeastdk, if you are considering crafting cards for this deck and you are torn between this and another 'proven' deck, I would hold off until it is more tested. This is a different style of playing rogue and could take some getting used to. 

    Since I hit legend in past, I haven't been spending as much time on Hearthstone. When I do, I seek out 'fun' decks that are successful at laddering. Using variations of this deck that use the same idea of Reno Jackson and lack of Blade Flurry combo, I have always made it down to rank 5 with moderate play (1-2 games per night). I shared this deck before collecting many stats on victories or match ups as I haven't had too much time to test it.

    In saying that, I feel that this version of the deck is the strongest incarnation yet. It feels like it overwhelms the opponent and has a few come back mechanics. On my PC where I played half of the games, I have a 77% win rate over 13 games. A lot of these victories are against c'thun druid, paladin and hunters.

    My advice to you is that if you are looking for a deck that will get you to legend as fast as possible, this might not be the deck as the games tend to be long and you can be overwhelmed by a huge board on occasions. If you are looking for a deck that will surprise your opponent, perform well and that feels extremely satisfying to play - I would't hesitate. This is a blast to play and has revitalised my love for Hearthstone. With some refinement to the skeleton of the deck, I could see it being very successful.

    Renakzan, if you don't have The Black Knight, it is totally feasible to play without him. If you do not have the card I would consider replacing him with Stampeding Kodo, Sap, Betrayal as Gorade suggested, Big Game Hunter, Spellbreaker or baron gedden.

    Good luck and let me know which route you choose and how you go.

    Grade, thank you for your kind words. I was hesitant to share the deck in case people dismissed it as a joke deck. I am glad to see you are having as much fun as I am.

    I totally agree with you in regards to board clear. In the past I have experimented with using Deathwing which was average at best and Baron Geddon which was actually quite good. Betrayal is a card that I feel many people underestimate and it is actually very strong. I used it for most of the time but it seems I have forgotten to fit it in since trying to play with all of these new cards.

    You could also consider running Blade Flurry. The reason I don't is it kind of went against my vision of the deck as I did not ever want to be waiting for a weapon buff to use the card. If I were going to go this route, I would probably include Southsea Squidface in the deck.

    Let me know if you try any of these options and what you remove. This is the deck that I wish you could have 40 cards because there are just so many things that I want to do.

    Thanks T0rsta, good luck on opening up that Blade of C'Thun. Make sure you let me know how you go or take a screenshot of the carnage (if and when it works)! Although I would really recommend waiting for the card, I guess you could use a Spellbreaker as a 'removal' replacement. Otherwise, you could try one of the other 'deathrattle' decks making the rounds on Hearthpwn that don't use C'Thun and Reno Jackson as they look just as fun (almost).

    This is similar to the crazy experiences I have been having with this deck over the duration of life but it is better than ever now. The only problem was making it to late game to survive long enough to get these crazy combos but now with Reno and the c'thin minions, it makes it easier to control the board and heal up. Most of the cards work great on their own but even better together so you end up getting a ridiculous fun outcome. The only problem will be if we start seeing some hyper aggressive aggro decks (which is inevitable). It is going to be difficult to clear the board in the current state if you lose board control. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.

    No problem mate, it happens to the best of us. About Anub'arak, it's funny you mention that because it was the reason I started down the track to making this deck six months ago. It was only removed from the deck after I realised that I was wanting to include 2 of the old gods. This is why I have switched over to include Journey Below which is a much more versatile card. Late game I always pray for Anub'arak because it is unstoppable but in the early game, it can be better to have something cheaper. I may experiment a bit more with it in the deck but so far, I haven't actually missed him too much as he pops back via  Journey Below anyway. If you were going to remove one of those two, I would remove The Black Knight but at the moment, he seems to always get value as there are a lot of taunts.

    Let me know how you go and if you have any fun or interesting decks to recommend, please let me know!

    Sorry that it didn't work for you - what part of the game did you find it failing for you? It plays in a different style than the old style of rogue decks so you might need to give it another shot before dismissing it. Let me know how you go.

    Mine is silly and not related to any lore but I wanted a card that could help dragon decks against aggro.
