So roughly every 6-7. game you would have drawn your "Reno" - card within the first 10 cards, but the effect would not be active.
This doesn't necessarily mean that those are wins that turn into losses, though. We can look at some general numbers. According to hsreplay, decks with Reno in them have a 50.0% win rate. When reno is played, the winrate rises to 56.2%. So if we assume worst-case scenario -- that we would want to play our Reno on turn 6-7, and that every single time Reno is played in other decks, it is active -- then that basically turns about 1/8th of your losses (6.2% / 50%) in that scenario (that happens about every 6 games) into wins. 1/8 * 1/6 means that approximately one out of every 50 games turns from a W into a L. So including a duplicate lowers your winrate by about 2%. Again, this is worst-case scenario, and for all Reno decks in general. Obviously, not all Reno decks are the same, so that might be a bit higher or lower depending on your deck. So you have to ask yourself, does including that duplicate in my deck raise my winrate by more than 2%? And the actual treshhold is probably lower, since you can delay playing it in many games.
When I have Nozdormu, and my best chance to win is roping for a turn or two and hoping on the next turn, my opponent decides to watch 20 seconds of a YouTube video while I immediately play Noz and mash the end turn button.
The death knight was always another win condition, being able to whittle away health and keep board clear at the same time. Of course, that’s rotating, as well.
Not even a way to deathrattle this out, I don’t think. Doesn’t have at least 5 attack for Giant Anaconda or cost 4 or less for Grizzled Guardian. I mean, technically, a buffed Meat Wagon would do the trick, but I’m not seeing any real way you could take advantage of this before your opponent could.

It's an issue with that card that the last patch introduced. Most noticeable in the Tombs of Uldan. It's in their list of known issues.

Y'all are missing the best part. Psychic Scream the 1/1s into opponents' decks. And voila, you've countered Kathrena Winterwisp, Possessed Lackey, Dragonhatcher, Stampeding Roar, Captain Hooktusk, Dr. Morrigan, Gather Your Party, Master Oakheart, Woecleaver, The Boom Reaver, Dimensional Ripper, and all of Spell Hunter with a single card!

You can't put any other cards in your deck if you put Whizbang in.

I think it pretty much speaks for itself.

Guess I won't be playing any N'Zoth, the Corruptor next week.

You haven’t played real roguelikes, then. You're describing roguelites, not roguelikes.

They're free, but they're 1/1s, not 8/8s.
