why not bk instead of spiked hogrider?
spiked hogrider is usually one of those cards i try to save till later in game. pending how the early game plays out, spiked hog can be anywhere from his normal 5/5 to somewhere near 11/11. it makes a good option for faceless, allowing me 2 charge minions if anyone uses taunt.
most taunt until then can be controlled with some stat changing minions or bait minions. some minions just have a high priority to be eliminated. daring reporter for example boosts stats every time opponent draws a card. it doesn't start very scary, but if you don't take care of it immediately, it can be a huge thorn by next turn. i think this particular cards use will be played out when people experience it more. i've had many games someone draws extra cards as part of a spell or something, boosting the minion again and leaving them just short of killing it. right now, this card alone has won a few games due to inexperience of players.
the games i have problems with this deck aren't due to taunt minions really ever. i hope to see them actually. the games that get me are shamans overload cards that have 7/7 minions along with others by turn 4, and my stat changing minions aren't in hand yet.
mages can also be difficult pending on my starting hand. if mages have the normal low cost minions out early game, all i can do is pray that reno shows up for turn 6. by then i'm under 20 hp which is a dangerous spot fighting a mage, even with minion control. they are pretty harmless if they don't get early minions out though. i have enough minions to chew spells.
