Thalnos is probably directly better than a loot hoarder but this list is just cards I already had

is leeroy just better than a lifedrinker here?

I think an alternate version of this deck with shirvallah and lynessa might be a bit stronger; I used genn because the 1 mana hero power can really save you in the early game, especially with so few early game plays. If i were to do this deck without even, I would probably add Shirvallah and lynessa, high priest thekal, and possibly the secret package for surviving early game.
