Loatheb is pretty standard in oil rogue. He is needed to keep himself/another minion on the board for a turn so you can get a big oil combo.

Yea, I figured that was the idea. So far I've lost not-even-close games to some TGT spell mage that was super slow and a face hunter

Wow I need to not play Hearthstone at 1am.... Just watched back my last couple games and saw an epic fuckton of misplays. My absolute final game last night was against Control Warrior and included a missed lethal on turn 10 and then it drags on for another 10+ turns, more misplays abound, and I barely win lmao.
And I thought I played decently killing 5 of his Legendaries in 2 turns, but nope!
Here's where the epic facepalming begins:

TGT Decks - Album on Imgur

I made that Dragon Mage deck.. Its okay so far, I only played about 4 games. I feel like it could be improved though. I do not like running double chows, so I have to think of a good replacement. I was thinking ooze to counter the heavy pally/warrior play atm. Any other recommendations for swaps in the deck?
That's StrifeCro's list. This should be good against control, but bad against a strong aggro opening. I've played around a lot with a similar deck and i found it to be marginally winning and not that great, games tend to be super slow also. Priest might look to be the best class for a dragon deck in theory, but i had no problems with dragon priest with my dragon mage. Also, StrifeCro's list needs more Unstable Portal, come on. Also 2, the good dragons (Ysera, Alex etc.) tend to be clunky and expensive and you don't have a good way to bring them on the board cheaply like control warrior can do with Varian and druid with Aviana. I've played an Aviana druid who managed to bring Aviana, Alex, Ysera and Sludge Belcher out in one turn, gg me. Also 3, i feel that Ysera > Alex in this type of deck.

So far, the only one of the new decks that has impressed me is the Secrets/Mysterious Challenger paladin deck and you might even say it is just an evolution of aggro paladin and not a new core deck.

Dragon Priest is legit. Not optimized yet but it's very good. Tons of pros are running different variations of it.

I'd love to try dragon versions of a lot of classes but I'm kind of missing all of the legendary dragons except BRM ones. Feels like Alex at least is probably required, if not Ysera.

Edit: I actually have like 3700 dust but it's hard to blow it on legendaries for some theme deck or other when I'm missing so many epics and such

So I really think I am not doing warrior patron correctly.

Am I just tossing out blockers halfheartedly and drawing cards until I can fill the board and kill in one turn?

I think I am wasting too many minions too early instead of just taking damage for a while.

I played dragon mage all day yesterday with pretty much crap results heh. There's barely any mage cards in it anyways. Priest seems to fit it a lot better.

LOL..... was watching the train-wreck that is Reckful's stream, he is on like a ~5 game losing streak and salty as fuck. He just gave up on his other decks and is making a "Gay Priest" deck where "all Priests do is type 'Dragon' and click all of them". Funny shit

I lost to a Control Priest with Confessor Paletress. That simply fucking hurt. I didn't have removal for her on the turn he played her.

Turn later she was buffed and started summoning Legendary every turn, until he got Archmage Antonidas, and he started fireballing me to death.

I played her, and played against her...not sure how good she will be in the long run, but she is constantly shifting the tempo and wins so many games.

It's a small sample though.

Down to rank 9 with Controlsteed. Can't say I've fought too many meta decks, except Patron, which can always just have stupid turns. No refinements yet, everything seems to work well so far.

Yea, it's nice that Priest and Shaman (might/probably) have a viable laddering deck option again but fuck Priest forever. This happened last time they had a mini resurgence too. Everyone was "Cool, Priest is back!" etc. then like a week later it was: "Need anti Priest deck. Fucking sdlkfjdklndfkgjdfj".

Your tears sustain me. I'd rather play a billion grindy games instead of playing hunters who kill me by turn 6.

I'm fine with Control games. But fuck Priests. Fuck them hard. They should never be allowed to have viable decks.

Uther gone wild slays Dragon priest. Bring more into the game imo so I can grind out these extra 10 games to Legend for the extra rewards

Nice man, but sad you arent calling it Dreadlock, it's like a requirement if you run Dreadsteed.

I can't get behind your deck with how rare Baron Rivendare pops up for me.. ALWAYS last 10 cards.

I do like Dreadsteed though, it's fun as shit and can swing some games for sure. I put in 5 games with the Demonlock version I posted this morning and went 3-2 so far, drew Rivendare once in 5 games, and I couldn't even play him at that time, sad too because I had Dreadsteed out for the majority of 2 games where I never drew him. One loss was to a Secretdin where if I just drew Rivendare my Dreadsteed would have rolled all over him. I also went back to 2x Shadowflame after trying 1x. Really need 2x in this meta.

Ya I don't know man, I mulli for him depending on who I'm up against, but he has always popped up in my games, and I only ever want him around to get 4 or so steeds on the board, after that I want him dead so I can play my Healbots/Anima/etc. I've also had plenty of games go down to the last 5-7 cards in both of our decks, but that's control for you.

I've been suprised how many people can deal with a turn 4 Mal'ganis too. Sense demons is pretty hot, since you only have 2 dreadsteeds, 2 voidcallers, and 1 mal'ganis, it's like a tutor for your combo cards.
I'll highlight some games when I recorded a few of my twitch games from earlier today.

Edit:TwitchThere's the almost 45 minute long recording, I did 4 games I think, won them all.
