I appreciate your input. I ended up taking out selfless hero and made one or two other changes to it, and it been playing very effectively and not is it fun. Tell me what you think.
I began with a murloc/curator build, but it wasn't as effective as I would have wanted. I highly suggest you build and play this deck and see the strengths of it.
Hey guys, Goatmann here. I just spent the last few days playing around with a newer concept including the wildly unused The Voraxx. I finally narrowed down all of the possibilities to my final creation. Here is my writeup and let me know what you guys think!
You're a catcher playing baseball, you're a defensive back lining up against a wide receiver, you're a center about to take the jump ball...
Do you complain if your opponent talks trash? Do you bring it up with the officials? Do you talk trash right back? Do you take it one step further?
This is real life. People get cocky, people get annoying, people talk trash. Thats part of competitive human nature whether we like it or not, and as a player of Hearthstone or any other (e)Sport, you will be scrutinized and challenged to rise to the occasion. Trash talking is used as a way to celebrate, or to demoralize your opponent and remove a layer of confidence. (He also might just be a certified dick). Either way, your job is to simply defy the insults, or lose like an adult, and try again. An argument could be made that it is slightly unnecessary in casual play, but from my own experience, that is where it is most prevalent. Try ranked! But, my friend, you should feel overjoyed. You have the luxury of blocking any and all "noise" from your opponent, AND he is restricted to non-threatening preset phrases. At the end of the day, its just a game and a few preset words. No coddling. Go kick some ass, and ignore the flak!
Menagerie has always been too high of a cost for me to justify using it. Definitely crossed my mind though. Still playing around with it, but seems pretty great the way it is.
This isn't a reno deck, but it is a control mage. Watch how I play it. You want to take out minions that threaten your high priority minions, as well as ones that may help draw power in certain situations for your opponent. You also don't want to put your high priority minions in danger like playing multiple 4 or less health minions on a turn 5 or 6 against a mage. Turn 6 or 7 is probably going to be a blizzard or flamestrike. You'll see that I make this mistake, but continual minion presence can overpower this (The Curator) I hope this helps. If you need more advice you can add me. "Goatmann"
Alleycat is a great suggestion, and I really appreciate the input!
Based on the matches I have played with this up until this point, Hunter's Mark has been a necessary way to break down those pesky taunt minions (Twin Emperor Vek'lor) , and (Twilight Guardian) most notably so far. Although not a strictly aggro deck, there is seemingly almost always a big minion getting in the way of that little bit of extra pressure needed to force your opponent into submission.
If Alleycat was to be included, I would say it could only really replace Cat Trick. In a spell heavy meta, Cat Trick takes the cake, but when playing minion heavy decks, Alleycat has my vote (Pirate Warrior). Check out the gameplay I recently added (sorry for the audio), and I would love more constructive criticism! Thank you!
Definitely can struggle vs Reno, but has great success vs aggro and midrange. If you suspect Reno, play real fast and mulligan for druid of saber and mark as well as a final blow with finja if possible!

Very fun. Not terribly competitive

Ya you definitely have to watch out for cards like devolve, twisting nether, flamestrike, equality+consecration, and a few others!

Took my midrange and made it aggro?? Love the way these decks work. Nice job.

This one definitely came down to the wire very unexpectedly at the end, but thank god I had Leeroy in my back pocket!

Its not necessary to go face, but putting pressure on is important. The abundance of well timed taunt minions helps immensely.

Haven't tried it, but you might as well make it a Reno Jackson deck. I suggest adding Kindly Grandmother , Webspinner , and Twilight Summoner.
