Jesus christ on a bicycle, you truly went off didn't you?
It's a 'Theorycraft' deck for a reason (and in my theorycraft cases, in the pejorative sense of that word). It's not like I have a history of being HS's #1 theorycrafter to begin with so I'm not sure why you have such high expectations of random decks like these. Look at the submission date of this deck. It was theorycrafted before I was able to play the expansion, so of course I couldn't try out this deck before submitting.
I theorycraft these decks for myself, and upload them here so I can easily copy-paste them to the game. If others see these decks and enjoy my wacky ideas, then great! I hope they'll have fun too! If not, then they can continue looking for other decks more to their liking.
And besides, it's not like every deck submitted on this website has to be a meta-breaker for all to play. Sometimes, just sometimes, people like me want to have fun and try something wacky and far-reaching. I theorycraft decks to try out new cards (like Shadowed Spirit & Runthak) and/or certain archetypes (a sort of Aggro value Priest), not to have a 99.9% winrate against every meta deck in this game. And yeah, the synergies I theorized in this deck proved just that: A fun theory. That's why it's called a theorycraft after all. Sometimes this deck did wonders (like Alura casting a Rally! when my low-cost minions were dead, filling my board with Hero damaging minions, or a Vectus obtaining both my Shadowed Spirit's deathrattles, dealing even more damage to my opponent's Hero), but a majority of the time not so much because having the 'golden curve' this deck requires is of course not a given. When that happens, this deck is easily overrun or outvalued. But hey, I had my fun with this deck! That is what matters to me.
When I see comments like this I really wonder: Have some people even tried to comprehend that other folks have different points of view? The definition one person has of 'fun' and 'theorycraft', hell even the very reason why people do something or play a certain game, will vary from the person next to them. And that's perfectly fine. Just don't be an arse/superior about it.
So I ask you to calm your tits and let others have their version of fun with their steaming hot **** of a deck. Let me enjoy/suffer the consequences of my wacky theorycrafts in peace, while you do your thing. That way the both of us will be happy at the end of the day
Defend the Dwarven District and Bolner Hammerbeak are my top 2 Picks that we will see a lot of and could be potential nerf candidates. Both seem pretty strong and at least Hunter Questline Performed more than well in the Theory Crafting Streams. Bolner made the list because of the potential OTK.
Just another thought concerning the keyword "egg":
Noblegarden is a possible explanation as it warrants an egg-type - but why wouldn't they implement treant then? Treants are a quasi-tribe with actual support (Goru the Mightree, Mulchmuncher) so this seems odd.
The demon showcased in Final Showdown is actually Anetheron and remember in Kurtrus' Book of Merc storyline, he was trying to find Tamsin Roame to stop her from summoning him
4 mana to give something rush means it has to be played on the same turn, which is a bit on the expensive side, wspecially when we have broomstick. But the buff with the deathrattle alone is good for four mana so still a decently strong card.
I really appreciate how the diamond card put onto the track seems to intentionally be a competitively viable card. Makes the battle pass worth so much more than what you are charged.
I'm really wondering wether I should last minute buy the cheaper bundle whilst I still can.
I feel like these quest cards will feature in many decks for some time and this is the only game i really play these days.Am I limiting myself by not purchasing the bundle when I can afford it.
To be honest, the real question would be whether or not you can afford to wait rather than the price tag of the bundles themselves. As the meta shapes you'll be making a more informed choice with your money by delaying your purchase, and there's always the usual 20 bucks for 20 packs + 2 legendaries offer - the main problem being that this offer usually comes around 2 months after release.
Competitively speaking, only a handful of cards from each expansion ever sees inclusion into decks. Looking at the barrens meta, unless you're playing priest, you can easily just craft less than 5 legendaries from the set and be duking it out with the best in diamond 5, with maybe 2-3 different decks.
Not that Im actively discouraging people from spending their money in a game they love. If you love the game and you have money to spare, why not? Just be aware that the average legendary pops out after 20 packs. And that's the average. Pity timer is set at 40 packs.
I think we will see even more cards you want to play this on in upcoming expansions. Its a cool card and there is a few options already, but blizzard will probably work on this even more.

Quest Pally with Dragon Sauce
Thanks! Added Taelan Fordring to the reserve list under the guide. Will try him out!
Quest Pally with Dragon Sauce
Nice idea, any reason we aren't playing Taelan Fordring? Seems like an obvious fit to make sure we draw Lady Prestor. Sphere of Sapience and Pursuit of Justice seem too slow for me.

Thank you for sharing this. It was helpful. Keep sharing such things. Visit us for amazing content on Sankey Diagram in Excel .
Best Cards from United in Stormwind?
Well i cannot speak for Wild because i only play standard - there are some cards that we will see a lot of like:
Ignite, First Flame, Garrote and at least at the start of the expansion Elwynn Boar for example :)
Defend the Dwarven District and Bolner Hammerbeak are my top 2 Picks that we will see a lot of and could be potential nerf candidates. Both seem pretty strong and at least Hunter Questline Performed more than well in the Theory Crafting Streams. Bolner made the list because of the potential OTK.
New minion types incoming? (Spoiler or internal testing?)
Very interesting - would be kinda cool to see more Minion Tribes that you also could build around.

Nice coverage on the Expansion and awesome work on those decks to everyone who made one of these lists.
Garrote Fatigue Rogue
Very interesting deck idea - haven't seen anything like that in the theorycrafting streams etc.
Will try this one!

Shady Zoolock Theorycraft
I also tried to build a new Zoo that revolves around Demons - looks pretty decent - i also put Lady Prestor in mine for a little bit of fun :)
Stormwind Boar Druid
This looks fun - sureley will try this one.
And - very cool and funny guide!

Reviewing Hearthstone's New Demon Hunter Cards Arriving With United in Stormwind
The demon showcased in Final Showdown is actually Anetheron and remember in Kurtrus' Book of Merc storyline, he was trying to find Tamsin Roame to stop her from summoning him
New Neutral Minion - Varian, King of Stormwind
Decent stats, draw three and rush immidiatly and survive and protect next turn! This is a nice strong card.
New Hunter Minion - Stormwind Piper
Weak attack on its own, so if the opponent has a board this is easy to trade away. I think it will be too weak but we'll see.

New Druid Spell - Kodo Mount
4 mana to give something rush means it has to be played on the same turn, which is a bit on the expensive side, wspecially when we have broomstick. But the buff with the deathrattle alone is good for four mana so still a decently strong card.
New Mage Minion - Sanctum Chandler
Very nice with ignite, but just strong in general.
New Priest Spell - Elekk Mount
Very good in arena.
