I've played this for 2 hours yesterday and while it's fun when it works, I didn't manage to pull off the combo very often. Admittedly I'm not much of a Combo player so maybe it was my fault, but this deck sits in a really difficult spot. Hyper Aggro usually kills you so fast that you can't afford to play both Hemet and Anka, Control is running Dirty Rats and/or Mutanus which means insta concede. I even lost two games to people who just stopped playing anything after I had destroyed my deck. I was sitting there with a 1 Mana Mecha'thun and two or three removal spells in hand and slowly died to fatigue while my opponent probably laughed their ass off. In the end I swapped in Reno Jackson to have a better chance against Aggro and provide a target for Deathlords, Rats and Mutanus with mixed results. Sometimes it saved me, sometimes it was just another body to get rid of.
What I've taken away from this experience is the Secret Passage interaction with an empty deck which is super cool. I also crafted Hemet for this deck which is a nice addition to my Wild collection. Thanks for sharing!
