Every week @GGN_Cooterz brings you the meta report. She is a Legend Rank Hearthstone player and has been playing for the past 5 seasons. The purpose of this report is to help you understand the current state of the meta in the higher ranks (ranks 19-5). She will walk you through what decks she is playing and how effective they are as well as let you know what to expect in this part of the Meta. Each week she will give you a list of the decks she has been playing as well! So sit back, pull up a chair and enjoy The Meta with Cooterz! You can catch her streaming at twitch.tv/cooterz
Those are very similar to the renolock and mech mage decks I have been playing of late. I currently have 2 Fel reavers, and not Brann, so I will give your deck a spin. From 20-13, I have seen a lot of secret pally, dragon priest and face hunters, about half of my opponents play one of those three decks. Aggro shaman seems to be on the rise too. Happy hunting and thanks for the report!
Hah! I’m sure a Fel Reaver may be better in my deck (or two). The Brann just intrigued me as it was new. The Enhance-o is pretty much crap, but how can you pass up the Brann combo? Especially with an 8 damage Blastmage! Let me know how much you struggle with it ;).

So this was my final record after a week of playing your
mechmage deck. It performed well against Dragon Priest, Renolock and Control Warrior, but unfortunately it was not good against secret Paladin. It just seemed like I could not get ahead and after the mysterious stranger dropped, I was done. I can confirm that Enhance-o-matic was total crap. There were two situations that I dropped it; one in desperation in order to get a taunt or after I had board control I dropped it to maintain board control. Brann is so good, but it was rare. If I dropped him on turn 3 in hopes of a turn 4 play, he was killed off and if I waited until turn 7, I had either already won or was on the cusp of defeat.Brann was also money with the Tinkertown Technician and Gorilla A-3. The Mana wurms were also hit or miss. The fun part was watching opponents do their best to remove them, even though the highest attack I ever got one was 3 because the deck only has 7 or 8 spells max. I think it might be better off to remove them and add a 2nd Clockwork gnome and a flamestrike. All in all it did net me a winning deck, so yay.
