Even/Reno/Mecha'Thunlock

Bloodmage Thalnos and Loot Hoarder are in the deck entirely to get played early and killed to draw faster. Thalnos is also nice for empowering Drain Soul, Hellfire, or the first cast of Defile.

Plated Beetle, while bland, is a generally usable card.

Dark Peddler and Jeweled Scarab are... Let's be generous and say potentially great. They would be the first cards I'd remove if better specifics came along.

The Spellstone is on here for one very specific reason- scaling. Hellfire, Dread Infernal, and Vulgar Homunculus are the only cards in the deck which actively damage you, so you want to draw this before playing them.

Also, always mulligan away combo pieces. You don't want them.

Defile, Doomsayer, and Hellfire are all staple board clears for the early game. While they are unreliable, given that you will only have three, getting one or two should save you.

Dirty Rat allows you to negate the battlecries of some aggro minions, like Fungalmancer. It's also a large HP taunt minion for 2 mana, which is incredibly useful.

Hooked Reaver is similar, for the last part, and is often more consistent in its utility. If you have low HP, which you should anyway, it's going to be a 4 mana 7/7 with taunt.

And then there's Plated Beetle, which is incredibly vanilla but still very useful.

Your best chance against control is to stall. Many of them go to fatigue, and you have the means to keep yourself healthy for a while. Thanks to Rin, you might win before you draw your deck, even.

This deck does have a few 1 health minions, which against Control Mage, you might want to draw early over these.
