So, played a few games with my Bargain Dreadsteed - it is pretty terrible against aggressive decks, but it quite handily owns control decks.  Any deck that spends, like, 9 turns doing nothing or just gaining armor is going to be crushed under my fiery little hooves, because control really can't do anything against a horde of D-Steeds, except Freeze Mage can delay them... a little.  My only fear is a Priest that's actually (for whatever reason) running Mass Dispel.

So much for Secret Paladin.  I haven't faced any Paladins at all lately on constructed.  It's been Force of Nature Druids, Charge Warriors, a couple Freeze Mages, and a Handlock.

Face Warrior has been niche for a long time, but I think it still sees some success due to how unexpected it is. With stuff like Arcanite Reaper and Kor'kron Elite it can steal some wins.

I played a game, at rank 5 mind you, versus Mech Warrior, so anyfin can happen.

Speaking about anyfin can happen, you guys seen the anyfin combo paladin?

Kripp played it in a video, so people are trying it out. I was going to give a try soon too. It looks fun.

I played against Mech Warrior around that rank once. I was Priest and won, but it was close.

I haven't seen Anyfin Can Happen pulled on me yet. I've seen lots of Murloc Shamans though.

Any tips on rising in rank?  I was able to get near level 10 a couple months ago, but since Warsong nerf and LoE, I've been having trouble getting past 18 - so many SMOrcers.

Reno.

:)

Honestly Reno makes a lot of Control decks pretty viable if you build for him. You can slot lots of tech cards and semi-viable cards into them and Reno makes up for anything lacking. The Warlock variants of Reno seem strongest, but most of the classes that can string together a Control deck can make something work.

Tunnel Trogg seems pretty viable if you want an aggro deck to ladder with. I just started playing it this morning, but it's pretty fast and seems like it'll take me up the ladder for a ways until I get bored of it. Doomhammer's are the hardest thing to come by in the deck. There's also always Midrange Hunter or Tempo Mage, and those new flavours of Force/Savage Druid.

Secret Paladin is probably still pretty decent. Raptor Rogue is solid right now too and doesn't need too much dust (though it needs lots of wings unlocked).

Those are all the decks I can think of that don't require anything particularly difficult to acquire to build. Only 1 or 2 Legendaries and not too many Epics anyways.

Honestly though if you're having trouble getting past 18 you should probably just pick a deck you have the cards for and practice with it a bit. Often it's more about learning the matchups and grinding a little bit while you figure out a deck before you start climbing. I don't play that seriously or that much and usually hit rank 15-13 just dicking around when I have time. I've hit rank 3 (I think?) in the past and though the ladder is getting gradually tougher over time I don't think it'd be that hard to hit rank 10 with enough practice on any deck.

I think it feels better when you just silence the Tirion.

Or Harrison Jones. Or now Entomb for Priests. It seems every Priest runs one of those now.

I am playing Feugen/Stalagg version of Renolock, it is awesooome, also better than standard version.
I also ran Dreadscale Midrange Hunter during the end of last season, it ain't bad eitehr.

Sir Finley is great as well, mainly cuz lategame when your HP becomes liability (due to being low on cards or low on hp) you can discover him with Dark Peddler and get some additional reach (if low on cards) or healing (if low on hp).  ;D

I wish I had Dreadscale, but sometimes I luck into him with Jeweled Scarab or even Tomb Spider. Maybe that's even better because Dreadscale seems maybe a bit too situational in the deck.

I gotta try adding Feugen/Stalagg to my Renolock deck. I also heard reports that Giants discounts still apply after Naga Sea Witch is in play, despite that being inconsistent with Avianna + Giants. Might just be a bug, but worth checking out perhaps.

I've been playing around with Renolock that has Stalagg/Feugen. I've seen at least three players silence the first of the two twins I played, showing how uncommon Feugen/Stalagg has been until recently. Thinking that silencing the first twin prevents Thaddius cost my last Renolock mirror opponent the game. My opponent played Twisting Nether as Jaraxxus when Stalagg was ready to proc Thaddius instead of just killing my other minion with an Infernal. Power Overwhelming on my turn then became a 1-hit KO.

I find the most confusing thing about the Twins is if your Stalagg dies and you kill your opponent's Feugen later in the game (or vice versa) than your opponent gets a Thaddius. I learned that one the hard way.

Yeah, in mirror for example you really want to save your twins for as late as possible.
I had a renolock play both of them early against me, and I getting rid of both + tadius.
Than, both my guys spawned a Thadius, and him being Jaraxxus didn't save him at all.

Edit: what does gets you if your first twing gets Hexed or Polymorphed, or your second twin gets Entombed.

Ok, I just had a warror DELIBERATELY kill both my feugen and stalagg at same time (and on turn 6 or something like that) - thinking nothing will spawn.

Well, he was wrong.

Oh, and I've beaten

twitch.tv/orange_hs

today. I didn't even realize it was him (tho he had Tespa backs) until a friend spectating asked me about it.
After the match I've checked the stream, and it turned out it was his first loss with the deck actually (new Miracle Rogue). :D

Regardless of it's viability, I must say Renolock is really fun to play. I've played some mirror matches with it too, and those mirror matches were a true test of how well you can bait removal. In such matches you can expect both players to present all their threats, and it seems so important to save silence for the second Feugen/Stalagg twin.
