Beware! For they are coming...
So obviously this deck revolves around the deathrattle effect of Bad Luck Albatross. We want to fill the opponents deck with a bunch of 1/1 albatrosses and drive them mad while we laugh in their misfortune!
So for the synergies of the deck:
We have the deathrattle synergies with cards such as Necrium Blade and Necrium Vial to immediatly activate the deathrattle from our Bad Luck Albatross or from our Necrium Apothecary which will always draw a Bad Luck Albatross since it's the only deathrattle minion in the deck.
We have some Shuffling of our own since we want as many Bad Luck Albatrosses in our deck. For that we are using Lab Recruiter, Togwaggle's Scheme and Shadow of Death.
After shuffling our Bad Luck Albatrosses, we will want to draw them. We will be using Stowaway and Candle Breath as our major drawing cards and Big Ol' Whelp, Fan of Knives and Necrium Apothecary as our smaller drawing cards.
As you can see the deck includes a small amount of dragons (Nightmare Amalgam, Big Ol' Whelp and Evasive Wyrm) so that we can use Candle Breath for 3 mana or even for only 1 mana with Preparation. These dragons are also here to help us with tempo since we want to stall the game as long as we can for the Bad Luck Albatross payoff.
So that's that for the synergies of the deck.
For the other cards in the deck: Backstab helps with controlling the board and activating our Necrium Apothecarys combo requirement, Preparation helps with our bigger spells (Candle Breath, Necrium Vial and Shadow of Death) and then we have Sap which helps against bigger threats.
There is only one copy of Necrium Vial and Shadow of Death since I was not sure which one to cut out for the other. Necrium Vial has the deathrattle synergy while Shadow of Death has the shuffling synergy, so I decided to try both of them and see what works.
Also the Fan of Knives helps deal with the 1/1 albatrosses so thats a bonus!
So this is my Bad Luck Albatross deck!

Quote From Zeratia Very Nice! I would totally add Tentacled Menace to this :P
As rewarding as it is to draw a card and reduce it to 1 mana, I think it's more valuable to starve your opponent from as many draws as possible. You are entirely reliant on them getting as many dead draws as they can--otherwise you're just playing a bunch of mid-range minions with no other synergies, and most other decks will beat that if they have sufficient access to their original cards.

This deck now gives a use to Wyrmrest Purifier.
-
or you can use her in a pure paladin list, but i don't think it will be super powerful even in there tho.
-
Problem with adding her to pure pally, is if she doesn't get drawn before some of the "pure pally" triggered cards. I've seen a few pure pally deck Ideas, and they are not that bad, but one thing is common throughout them all, not 1 single Neutral card in them.

Fun deck!
You might consider running Hoard Pillager to get the Necrium Blade back after it's expired for even more annoying birds :D
-
Take all my upvotes, I am definitely trying this! Thanks!
-
I Love those decks in the first days of an expansion!!
-
Ellek a good fit?
-
It was a consideration and is a good idea, but I was having a hard time finding a way to squeeze it in. You could replace the dragon package for the Augmented Elekk and maybe a Sprint, though I wanted to try out Candle Breath.
