So I'm currently playing a Jace Fel DH deck and it looks like Imp-credible Trousers is bugged. Every time I cast a fell spell, it's putting the rifts ontop of my deck and not actually "shuffling" them into my deck. It's essentially cast a fell spell, summon two 3/3s next turn. Pretty nuts
It remains to be seen. Pirate Warrior I'm not really worried about (they start popping off around turn 5, which we will as well) but Taunt druid might be a problem. I was debating about putting in some weapons to help our early game, but they clash a lot with Lightforged Cariel. Any suggestions?
I'm just not sure Paladin is well suited to sit back and wait for turn 6-7. City Tax and Consecration are your only forms of removal before turn 5 where maybe you could get lucky and combo Equality with City Tax. I think Pirate Warrior is definitely scary before Turn 5, especially if you sat there with 8 drops in your hand and just passed turn.
I think Vanndar Stormpike works much better in classes like Priest or Warrior, maybe even DH? That way you can dedicate a big chunk of your deck to removal on turns 1-4 then turn the corner hard on turns 5-6. Those 3 classes give you heal/armor with the removal too which helps you survive.
I agree that Drek'Thar seems like the stronger choice but I had a hard time thinking of what low CMC decks would want him in the current meta. Taunt Druid would need to give up Park Panther, Greybough and Teacher's Pet, Face Hunter doesn't want to give up Warsong Wrangler into Trampling Rhino, Pirate Warrior wants to actually play it's pirates for quest progression, and doesn't want to give up Sword Eater.
Maybe some sort of Zoolock or Murloc based aggro deck?
I assume they count as spells so we can Preparation it? 3 mana do nothing doesn't seem great unless you've already got deathrattles on the board. The only Rogue playable early deathrattle I can think of is Sneaky Delinquent and that will rotate.
I went with Vanndar Stormpike. I've tried a Shadow N'Zoth Priest, Big Demon DH (without Proving Grounds) and an Antonidas Fire Mage and they all seemed fun. The Fire Mage is probably a terrible idea but I liked the idea of 2 mana Sanctum Chandler and 5 mana Grand Magus Antonidas.

The Big Ramp Dragon Druid listed under the "hot decks' worked for me. My opponent decided to cast the Surrender to Madness... didn't go well for him.
Is that early game enough to fend off decks like Pirate Warrior or Taunt Druid?
Very excited to try this in Handbuff Paladin. Between the hero power and Highlord Fordragon we'll be pumping out some big bois.
