Go test it. Right now. Play 100 games, make a very obvious tech card change, play another 100 game. See what happens and STFU.
What is obvious to me, is that people talking about confirmation bias, are extremely casual netdeckers who don't ever do changes in their deck and play 3 games a week. So you have never actually seen how the matchmaking system works. THIS is confirmation bias.
While I am neither a casual player nor netdecker, I can attest to playing techs in decks. I have played hundreds of games with tech options and the rate does not change. I have hsreplay with hundreds of games for proof if you would like to see my different versions of various decks and the same rate of shamans/rogues/warriors or whatever I was teching for. Of course, I take more notice of who I am playing against when I have a tech in because that's the point. There are so many confounding variables to take into consideration when explaining why you aren't facing as many Shamans. It's not some Blizzard Conspiracy or techs would never be valuable and no one would ever run them. They work, you just haven't been facing shamans like you were before BUT NOT BECAUSE BLIZZARD HATES YOU.
Ok, Shade of Naxxramas is a good card but it often doesn't get immediate value. In a deck with Fel Reaver it is important that you can get as many immediate value cards as your deck needs them. Ancient Shade is just 1 too low health, just too many cards deal with it. However, I am a fan of the obvious synergy with Fel Reaver if you feel confident that it can do well put it in. I would suggest taking out the Savage Combatant.
As for Midrange, Shade of Naxxramas is a great combo enabler and efficient trader but with the Darnassus Aspirant you can ramp even more then you could before so I don't think Shade of Naxxramas is as valuable. With Midrange Warrior deck floating around and obvious Paladin I think Harrison Jones is great.
If you have ANY questions feel free to comment back and I will gladly answer. Coaching will also be available for this deck free of charge just send me a friend request at SMOrcHuntard#1571
Thanks so much for this deck, I didn't have Shade of Naxxramas so I substituted Argent Horserider I was happy to see I could still reach legend. Much appreciation thanks! PS: I am only 15 years old so anything can happen guys just grind when you can it will come eventually!
I run this deck the most out of my No Naxx/BRM decks, I will write a guide to this deck as more people upvote it and I am open for suggestions on what "meta" decks to make without expansions.

Two words: Confirmation bias.

In regards to roping on turn 1, I agree but sometimes there are some exceptions. Tracking is an example of an exception.

Yes, the only reason I do not have him in here is because the target audience won't likely have enough dust to make Bloodmage Thalnos.
I would suggesting swapping a Violet Teacher for him.

What do you think of -1 Violet Teacher -1 Loatheb +2 Piloted Shredders until I get Loatheb?

Love the deck but do you suggest subbing one Violet Teacher for a Piloted Shredder?

I know Doomhammer is a tough replacement but what do you suggest I replace it with until I get 400 dust I own everything else
