( It's his deck and he's a really good DMH player, if you like this deck and/or want to learn, I suggest you watch his vods )

My journey started from rank 5, Mill Warrior only.

Thoughts on the deck:

Reno Jackson is still a bit iff-y to me, but he has saved me many times by providing a massive health swing where I would otherwise be on the brink of death. Sometimes he bricks your hand a little, and yes the deck runs quite a few duplicates, but you can draw through fairly fast, so he should be active around 10 cards left. He's better in slower matchups, so if you're running into a lot of aggro and you're feeling unlucky, you can cut him for an Unidentified Shield. I personally wouldn't cut him, sometimes you don't draw into the clears you need or your Hero cards in low resource scenarios and he can provide a much needed stall for you to survive.

Omega Devastators in my opinion, are not very good, they're very linear and the deck doesn't really need more single target removal, they're also not great against aggro. I rate it a Trump 1 star.

Matchups:

Quest Cyclone Mage: Fairly bad matchup, you'll need to get an early Giest to stall and some early removal against the Flamewalker/Sorc Apprentice combo. Mull for Acolyte of Pain, Sleep with the fishes, Dirty Rat, Giest.

Even Shaman: Pretty self explanatory, favoured. Mull for early executes/Shield Slams. Murloc Shaman is more difficult, 50/50 I'd say. They can sometimes snowball too quickly out of control if you don't get a decent draw, but I didn't play many of them so I don't have great knowledge of the matchup. Keep/Mull Blood Razor, Acolyte of Pain and slam.

Odd Paladin: Favoured. Mull for Blood Razor and Acolyte of Pain.

Mech Handbuff Paladin is can be pretty difficult since they're prone to overwhelming you quickly if you don't get removal early. They're a little similar to Even Warlock. I haven't played against many of them, and fortunately, I don't think you will either.

Big Priest: Unfavoured, but winnable. I actually didn't lose to a single one since rank 2, but I was fortunate enough to not fall victim to an early Barnes into a non statue minion. Keep Coldlights, DMH, Brann and maybe Brawl if you already have one of the other cards. I think, if Barnes ever gets nerfed and Big Priest doesn't receive anymore support, this matchup could become even/favoured, since DMH has a far stronger lategame if they can get there.

Odd Rogue: Not much experience against this, but keeping Shield Slam/Execute, Acolyte of Pain and Blood Razor seems like a good idea.

Mechathun Warlock: Seems about even, matchup comes down to Brann + Dirty Rat pulls( or if you're unlucky, just a rat ). Try to mill them with Coldlights if you see an opportunity, as shuffling cards is fairly irrelevant in this matchup due to how fast they can draw. If you can though, try to shuffle as small as a hand as possible with rat + brann + Coldlights and an execute/shield slam( it's okay to exclude Brann if you have 2 Coldlights instead )and see if you can get to another rat or chain a bunch of coldlights together.

Jade Druid: Favoured, unless they Hecklebot your Giest :P make sure to keep an execute or shield slam in the mull to get rid of Vargoth.

Mech Hunter: 50/50, keep Slam, Blood Razor, Acolyte of Pain.

Warrior: Pirate Warrior might be favoured? I'm not sure, I didn't go against many of them. Keep Acolyte of Pain and Blood Razor. Odd Warrior is an auto win, just make sure your hand isn't full enough to burn your DMHs, hard mull for them. If you get 2, play them twice in a turn once you have a hand you're satisfied with, to play around a potential Azalina. Getting to 2 first is important I think, as all of the ones I've run into have an Archivist, and due to all the draw we have and Deathlords, they can be quite fatigue durable.
