Might have worth in Standard as a late-game value bomb. Possible cute play in Wild using Turn 9 Ysera, Unleashed into Turn 10 Ultimate Infestation to try and floor the board with big dragons. Definitely going to be suffering from “high-roll, low-roll” issues though since lots of dragons have poor stats or get value from a Battlecry that will be missed because of the Dream Portal putting them directly into play. How good it is will depend on the speed of the meta that forms, since you need time to play Ysera and to draw the Portals to make good use of her.
I'm digging the Pressure Plate secret. I play mainly Wild and this has interesting potential as a niche but very powerful tool to jam up combos that depend on synergies between minions and spells.
Hey, sorry for not replying so long. I've been really swamped IRL.
Geddon for Flamestrike is okay, though I stand by my assessment that Flamestrike is too weak these days. You might consider Volcanic Potion for the earlier AoE to deal with swarmy aggro decks.
Solia for Emperor is also reasonable but I'd say Zilliax or Loatheb are also good depending on what your choices are.
Glad you are enjoying it Obscurity. I definitely enjoy the flexibility and it definitely CAN win against everything. Whether or not it will win against everything is up in the air of course xD
It's a Reno/Highlander style deck so consistency is a major issue for sure. Sometimes your draws just whiff. But I like the deck way too much to stop playing it.
Hey there! Your username seems familiar so yeah, I think we played a game.
I'm not running Healbot right now because aggro decks tend to blow past the 8 health heal and slower decks don't deal damage in the early-to-mid game so Healbot just sits in hand or comes out as a pricey 3/3. Against aggro I would rather topdeck a Kazakus, Reno or AoE than a Healbot.
I think Healbot is much stronger in Renolock since 1) they are always lifetapping so Healbot almost always gets value even against slow decks and 2) they have a much better suite of AoE so they can recover board better after a low-tempo play like Healbot.
Yeah the arsenal of Polymorph effects and Kazakus can be very strong. There's always the nonsense high-rolls from Big Priest but you can't do anything about that. Although I will say I have won games where by opponent when Barnes into Yshaarj into Catrina because i managed to get a Kazakus potion out on turn 6 using Coin+Inkmaster+10 mana potion for 0
Part of why I enjoy this deck is the flexibility it has. :)
I've migrated here from Hearthpwn and I wanted to ask if like Hearthpwn there is an option to put in "spoiler" or "read more" drop down buttons in deck guides.
Having the collapsible text is really important for helping streamline large blocks of text so I would definitely request it be implemented if it is not already.

Frost Lich is pretty impossible to replace directly so she should be a priority.
For possible swaps on the other 3 legendaries you mention, you could try switching for these if you have them:
Hexlord Malacrass -> Echo of Medivh
Luna's Pocket Galaxy -> Emperor Thaurissan
Inkmaster Solia - Tortollan Pilgrim
Inkmaster is helpful beyond LPG, so I'm quite happy with her performance overall.
And I'm not interested in the "standard" lists built around N'zoth.
Funny you should say that!

Well I hope you have the cards or a lot of dust on your hands xD
It's a Reno deck so it has a pretty ridiculous number of legendaries.
Glad you liked the guide!
Haha that's alright. It's there for people who are interested. Plus I got a good response on the reddit thread I made. It's all good!
