INFERNAL!
I doesn’t work with Molten Giant, read what Molten Giant card description says.
Cleric of Scales
Perfect card for Inner Fire Combo Dragon Priest. Should be a very strong deck in future.
Farewell to Hearthstone Top Decks from Evident
Thanks for all the work you’ve done, Evident. Been a fan of the site for quite a long time, really top notch site, simplicity and quality is the key. Deckbuilder much better than any other site, great card and deck collection, many new competitive decks posted daily and all the news in one place.

Go with a lighter build, this will make it better against aggressive matchups, but a little worse against slower ones.
-2x Corpsetaker
-1x Thrallmar Farseer
-1x Argent Squire
+2x Dire Wolf Alpha
+2x Lost in the Jungle

Tarim + Vinecleaver act as finishers in this deck. There is no need for Leeroy, especially since we don’t run Blessing of Might. Leeroy also clogs the hand for Divine Favor. I doubt you wanna play Leeroy in the mid game, so its a card that is stuck in your hand preventing another card draw from Divine Favor.

Sunkeeper is very essential to this deck, to any paladin deck not named odd. Best replacement would be Fungalmancer, you can keep Vancleaver, although Tarim is what makes Vancleaver great,

One of the worst things you can do to this deck. Sunkeeper is one of the main win conditions in this deck. if you want lifesteal, replace Argent Squire with Crystalsmith Kangor.

Actually I replaced 1 Fungalmancer in my build for Argent Squire, to improve Call to Arms and Corpsetaker consistency. Then i think Kangor might be better since it is pretty much the same, plus gives a Lifesteal. don’t think 1 mana difference plays a big role. Although as you said, you won’t need Lifesteal in this deck too often, but sometimes it can help. I’ll test what is better.

Explanation to most OP card of the deck:
It is activator for Corpsetaker first and foremost. Stormwatcher is a better minion than Thrallmar Farseer obviously, but this is an aggressive deck with 2 Divine Favor, you want to empty your hand to get the most value out of Divine Favor. The lighter the deck the better are your Divine Favor. So lighter Windfury activator is much better in this deck. Not to mention even if you draw it, it might act as a big threat similar to Vicious Fledgling which you can follow up with Blessing of Kings or Fungalmancer (In my build) with coin.

I was original creator of this deck. I went 32-11 with it into rank 4 legend the first day of the season. So at least give it a mention. It feels unfair when you create a deck, have great success with it, but stay unnoticed, cause you are not as famous as the other player. https://twitter.com/Maximal_HS/status/1080232638798012423
Rastakhan’s Rumble Big Beast Druid: The Past and Future of the Archetype
Just add Stampeding Roars, Tyrantus, Oondasta and Ironhide Direhorns to the current Big Druid list. There is no need for a lot of beasts, you want as much chance to pull Tyrantus or Oondasta.
Myra's Unstable Element
It is an aggro card similar to divine favor. Aggressive deck that can empty the hand quite fast and doesn’t care about value will use it. Would have been a great card for face hunter.
The Early Giant Gets The Worm – Even Warlock versus Handlock
Been trying since Witchwood started. Unfortunately it is just not worth it. Even version will be stronger cause of 1 mana hero power, it makes a huge difference.
Bloodreaver Gul'dan
This is better than Jaraxxus simply because its a great tempo card with strong hero power too. Hero power is worth 3 mana. There are enough good demons to make it work in standard, namely Despicable Dreadlord and Abyssal Enforcer, you don’t need many anyway, warlock hero power allows you to go through your deck fast and find those cards. It’s a great stabilisation tool against aggro too.
And just lol at people including this card with discard demons in the deck. Good luck discarding your 10 mana hero, that will be stuck in your hand for numerous turns.
Forge of Souls
Everyone forgetting Blood razor. This is a great card in control warrior, probably too slow for pirate warrior.
IMO overrated card. It might only see play in Painlock, where you want to finish the game fast and even that there are probably better alternatives and you don’t really need to draw much as Painlock, it is more about tempo, so a simple Flame Imp or Treant is a better play. The downside of clogging your deck with this card is huge. At one point all you will be drawing is this card and you will need to sacrifice health to do anything, until you can’t anymore.
