No offence to your deckbuilding or playing skills (which I think are awesome), just want to point out that sometimes luck favored you in the drawing engine part of the games and the deck looked more consistent due to not needing additional draw in any of the games

Agree entirely, and very very well put! But let me ask you this... Why do I need secondary draw? If I miss BF on T3 does that mean I need to play a bad card, for example, like bazaar? You don't need to draw cards if you aren't playing cards. BF can be played on a later turn when you draw it and there is a lull in the board action. I'm a huge fan of not including cards for the sake of "draw." Drawing is important, very important. But you can also design a deck to work when it does not draw its engine - I think this deck works. Cripples and Marksman will buy you time when you miss BF. Just my 2 cents

the lack of draw makes this not viable at all in a tournament, but im sure its a solid quick match deck

i just feel in order to win 4 best of 3 matches which is required to win a 16 man tournament. you will struggle to not have any 3 and lower cc allies. also in 4 best of 3 matches, i did a little math and there is a 52.8ish% chance that you will not have a bf by turn 3 in 2 of the 3 games in at least one of the 4 matches.

because you have so few cheaper cards you will likely be sacrificing a whole turn just to play bf later in the game(or waiting a very long time to play it but you will be pretty far behind by that point) and against a good player i just dont see this deck being successful in consecutive best of 3 matches.

you should actually try some of your decks in tournaments before you declare yourself the best player too, although im not sure if you would be allowed in because of your bad manners

UPDATE:

Okay, tested with Seductress and I'm sold, she's great. Good even in lategame as long as you plan your resources the turn before you want to use her. So...

-1 Aldon the Brave

-1 War Banner

-3 Stalwart Battleguard

+3 Layarian Seductress

+2 Tainted Oracle

(there is your secondary draw, bitches!)

I refuse to use bilateral draw in a control deck - defeats the whole purpose of winning through card advantage.

Results good so far! Go test!

I tried your deck, its interesting, I subbed Rotham's Visage in stead of KP because your guys are already big, why not give them haste, and visage and a little better on defense then kp (unless they destroy it)
