Mecha'Thun in a Reno deck seems crazy.
What happens if Hemet is at the bottom of your deck ?
Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
Some thoughts and insights:
The combo is really simple.
Apart from Emperor Thaurissan who enables the combo by discounting cards, Hemet, Jungle Hunter is the OP card of the deck. If you have Bloodbloom in hand and play Hemet, Jungle Hunter on turn 6, you will usually win the game. It's also the keycard when you face other combo or control decks.
By taking a closer look at the list, you will certainly notice that I do not play The Soularium. A lot of players consider that it is an auto include in Mecha'thun combo Warlock. This is not my case.
In fact, it really depends on which type of Mecha'thun Warlock you are playing. For sure, The Soularium is really a great card for the cycling version of the deck. I'm more doubtful about the inclusion of it in the controlish decklist I'm playing.
The Soularium was in the early version of the deck but I quickly realised that most of the time, it was a dead card in my hand because I never really want to discard anything aside from when I'm really at the very end of the deck (with like 5 or less cards left). So I removed it for another Area of Effect card: Demonwrath, who do wonders as another early game board clear.
It may be tricky to properly understand how to "force" Zephrys the Great to give you the card that you really want (or at last a good equivalent one), but with some practice and with the help of FrostyFeet's guide you will learn how to get the maximum value possible from it.
You've got a couple slots for tech cards. In the current decklist you'll find Blastcrystal Potion and Deathlord but both can be swapped in and out for whatever you may like most, based on what you're facing while laddering. Kezan Mystic, Dirty Rat, Mind Control Tech, Big Game Hunter, The Black Knight, Tinkmaster Overspark, Gluttonous Ooze or any of the other notorious tech cards are ok.
I usually always keep Deathlord since it's a cheap big-health taunt minion that can be dropped in the early game to slow down aggro while giving you also some turns to prepare an answer (since its drawback will trigger only when removed).

Not a big issue: you've got enough control tools to stale out the match until the very end of your own deck. Many cheap aoe removal against aggro and more slow ones for bigger threat on the mid/late game, plus you can tech what you consider most fitting for what you're facing the most since the list have a couple of "free" slots. On top, the deck offers also some more than decent heals and of course the chance to dig decently thanks to Warlock's Hero Power (that should gives you the upper hand against control matchups).
Sadly, at the current state of Wild meta, the presence of SN1P-SN4P Lock is a real issue for this deck, because it's too consistent and fast (and if they run also Mecha'thun, they can cycle much faster than you even if you manage to survive big angry mechs).
Looks like a fun deck to play in a friendly match.
If you feel like playing a couple of those tho, feel free to add me and we can battle the meme out together. Yadeehoo#2494
Have you considered switching the Bloodbloom cataclysm combo out for Plague of Flames? It gives you extra space for a card like Rotten Applebaum or whatever.
Cataclysm is needed because it also discards your whole hand. That way you "only" have to discount Mecha'thun+Bloodbloom and finish off your deck to perform the combo. Plague of Flames will only destroy Mecha'thun but than you'll have to play each remaining card that is sitting in your hand before effectivly close the match.
Awesome deck ! So fun to play. :)
