I agree, having this info in a well written form is always very digestible. I don't have so much time to keep up with the meta, so these posts are always the highlight of my week if I want to play ranked, as you get multiple good deck ideas per class as well.

Man I gotta say this is the most fun in Hearthstone I've had for a while, thank you for this deck. Played this exact list with the only change I made being one less Sea Giant for one copy of Wrapped Golem. I just flew from rank 17 to 10 in one continuous winstreak only broken once by a taunt shuffle lock who got the dream "Dollmaster Dorian + Plot Twist followed by Fel Lord Betrug + Plot Twist the turn after" combo.
Just killed a taunt warrior who healed from half health back to 30 at least 3 times using triple Zilliax (the one in his deck, one from Omega Assembly and then copying the omega one with Faceless Manipulator) and like 4 buffed up taunts in a row with at least 9 health each, including a 6/10 Rusty Recycler. I didn't even draw Leeroy. After that I just had to come back here and comment on how awesome this deck is :D
The only decks I've had trouble with so far were Zoo, which is just too fast sometimes (I barely recovered with some very desperate plays) and the taunt shuffle lock. That last one seems like a bad matchup, but at the same time I don't know if anyone is really playing that deck at higher ranks, if it's just getting popular right now, or if I just got unlucky facing some of them today.
This deck is awesome, and unlike Quest Druid which got sort of boring pretty quickly, the skill ceiling of this deck is pretty high. I was watching some YouTube in the background and had to pause every few minutes because I had to concentrate to try to get the math perfect. Missed some lethals, made some bad plays, but still won all but one match because of the crushing pressure the opponent is under once the quest is complete. Definitely recommend a copy of Wrapped Golem, was MVP in quite a few games since most decks can't handle the contrast of first going super wide with the board and then super tall with a really sticky minion after a board clear. It also helps complete the quest quite a bit and just feels more useful in general than a second Sea Giant.
For someone who most of the time just logs in to complete the quests this was a rare treat. Thanks again, NudeWookie :D

My favorite Uldum moment will probably have to be when I was playing Highlander Quest Shaman against Control Warrior. I was already 4 draws into fatigue trying to bait the last clast boardclears. I play my second to last card, Microtech Controller, and he doesn't clear it. Finally I could play double Zephrys (although I didn't need the double) for a clutch Bloodlust exact lethal with my last card :D

Hunter's Pack has to be my favorite, I think. The flavor is just too good, I've always had a sweet spot for adventuring/camping gear and multitools and such. And even in game this is great card generation for Hunter. The lack of draw/card generation has always been my least favorite part of the class, so this is awesome! :D

Tried Boom first, lost to Atramedes due to bad luck. Tried Hagatha and got milled by Vaelastrasz. Tried Boom again and got 40 min 22 sec, so goddamn close that I had to at least try one more run.
Boom again, got Grimmer Patron and The Hand of Rafaam, the synergy of which is insane. If he tries to remove patrons, he keeps the curse. Play the curse to get rid of it, the patrons swarm the board. I actually drew the patron most games too, carrying hard. And the cherry on top was I think the fastest Rag ever by topdecking the Orb of the Untold on turn 4 for exact lethal :P

Keep up the good work, targus! :D

Dragoncaller Alanna saw some play, but never really took off too much, I expect the same here.

I mean Righteousness is a card now, and Never Surrender! is pretty neat against board clears, but I doubt that's gonna be enough to make this work.
First Priest, now this. Jesus Christ that's a lot of one health minions...
Why would you ever want to complete the new mage quest then? :P
