Second Piloted Shredder for Loatheb, and you could throw in a Southsea Deckhand for Thalnos.

Reno will still work as long as you draw one of the Muster for Battle. You would most likely be trying mulligan for that card.

Use this list for now: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/ostkakas-blizzcon-2015-midrange-patron-warrior/

The cards in your hand don’t effect Reno.

That’s true of the remaining portion of the deck. If you draw one of the Mad Scientist, and it’s in your hand or has been played then Reno Jackson will trigger.

Nefarian would have synergy with Summoning Stone, so I’d likely try that.

I think it would be difficult to play this deck without Grommash. I’m not sure HOW bad it would be, but it will be difficult to finish off your opponent.

If you use Death’s Bite, or one is in your hand then Reno Jackson will still work. You would likely mulligan for it or draw it by the time you need to play Reno.

Quartermaster is dependent on the meta. The card can be rather slow at times and clog up your hand. Coghammer is very strong, so I would try to keep that in the deck.

Second Holy Nova.

It depends on what other decks you might want to play. Ysera and Justicar are in most control decks, but Alexstrasza is in Control Warrior and Freeze Mage. Ysera might be the least important of those three in this deck, but I’m not a Control Warrior expert.

Yes, but Grommash is really good.

Those are reasonable replacements.

I totally disagree, it’s a really good card.

Swipe.

Swipe.

Animal Companion or Knife Juggler, any strong low cost minion would work. Mad Scientist is really good though.

Ragnaros, although I think it might be kinda bad in this deck. Piloted Sky Golem is another option.

Second Piloted Shredder.

Yeah, that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
