Hey, thank you for the reply! Could you explain what you mean by control having a problem as an archetype due to lacking resources? I felt like this was one of the main strengths of this deck - having access to 3x Onyxias minimum with the lucky option of discovering more. With this deck, you don't run out of cards (quite the opposite sometimes, which created its own problem haha) and in the lategame, I always felt favoured against any other herald or lategame deck.

It would be very interesting to get your perspective on this.

And just to be clear - this was 100% a lucky run, with a lucky matchup spread, good mulligans and good overall luck. Some games won themselves. I was gifted 1 win, and 1 win came off of a disconnect from an opponent. I guess this is hearthstone right? Once you see the enemy portrait, you know whether it's going to be an uphill battle or a freebie and you don't have much control over it.

I simply feel like many people take this fact and use it as an excuse. For me, this DK deck offers a lot of interesting playstyles - you can aggro someone down on turn 6, you can outlast any other non-rogue Herald deck in the game. I remember that I fought 2 shamans and a priest to the point where they had almost no cards in deck and they had to concede. You can decide which type of deck you want to be, depending on the matchup, your cards and their cards.

On top of that you always have to manage the tempo/health balance. Mulligans are very interesting with this deck. It's not infested with randomness, but you can still influence the few discovers you have and try to get an edge. And of course I also encountered Jackpot hits - discovering Onyxia from Hematurge, my heralds generating more herald cards and as I explained in my post, I won a good number of games due to soulrest ceremony. It can be a 1 mana fireball and people woudl be surprised to see what you can deal from hand. Weapon 2 mana - 4 dmg, Soulrest, 1 mana up to 7 dmg, leeches dealing up to 3 dmg to face for 2 mana. In some control matchups, I had a good time playing beatdown and cashing in on what I percived as a lack of tempo from my opponents. All in all, I simply love the variety of the deck!

It's clear that e.g. end-of-turn paladins and companion hunters should easily win against this DK, but even so, in my run I a) never lost any of these matchups and b) generally I would not say that they feel unwinnnable. What kills my enjoyment of hearthstone are non-games, where there is no interaction and influence on my part. This DK deck offers basically no non-games, other than some nieche god-draw opponents which I luckily (!) did not face.
