Aggressive singleton deck is actually not that farfetched

Well I looked at decent aggro cards, and found more than 30, maybe I should include some basic chargers too instead of what I have right now, but here is first try:

    Except aggressive decks want consistency. Cutting your consistency in half by only running half of the cards that you really want, and replacing the other half by lesser cards, just so you can run one card that might not do anything at all if you don't draw it early or might discover hero powers that you don't need, is just a massive waste.

    I like Prince Liam's inclusion very much. He reminds me of the reason why warlocks put Arch-Villain Rafaam in their zoo decks, although the latter minion comes with a Taunt and can also replace the cards in your hand.

    But if you honestly ask me, I think your deck would be considered to be too fair against the current popular lists. Although I also believe, that Sir Finley of the Sands is powerful, his reward isn't game winning as Prince Keleseth's was and the highlander requirement would be too punishing for an aggro deck. I think having a single copy of Blessing of Kings and Truesilver Champion isn't something minor. Maybe the unrevealed highlander card would change things and make such builds desirable, so let's see what it would look like.

    Let‘s compare it to Prince Keleseth. For the cost of no 2-drops, you get a potentially game winning effect in 1/4 of the games (assuming you saw 7-8 cards of your deck on turn 2). 

    The consistancy remains high because the 2-mana gap can often be closed by double 1-drops. The Payoff is undoubtly worth it.

    Now sir Finnley is a whole new story. With 3 premium aggro heropowers (Paladin, rogue, hunter), you have roughly a 50/50 Chance to hit or miss. That means he pays off only every 8th!!! Game. And not only that:

    - The heropower is way less gamewinning than the Keleseth buff

    - There is no synergy between heropower and deck

    - Changing your heropower can even be a downside when you miss the good ones.

    No matter how good or consistant the singelton aggro deck is, it almost never is worth it.

    inconsistency in aggro is a death sentence.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    I thought the aggro singleton would make more sense as hunter, as brann can be an extra finisher. An upgraded hero power is likely more for midrange or control as the more uses it gets, the better (odd pally and hunter were different because they were guaranteed those buffs from the start of the game). At least, thats my opinion

    This can work, sure ... but what is the point? You dont want to use your hero power as an aggro deck anyway lol, upgraded or not.

    Well maybe i should have made it into face deck and then you just choose hero power that goes face...

    You could technically include Sir Finley in a Murloc deck with plenty of duplicates and either play him as a solid turn 2 or wait until your deck is thinned from Tip the Scales to give a little more of a late game option to the deck. Of course, Nomi could also be on the table then though.
