Epic Dark Draft Results after 10 packs

So I've done 10 of these Dark Draft Decisions. So instead of what I normally do I was curious to see what my deck would look like if I just took the packs I've opened so far. Obviously this is a rather silly situation as I have no opponent, and I'm actually taking 3 cards in a pack essentially, but I figured why not?

Pack 1 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions.html
Thought Plucker
Fire Spirit
Mythic Monster

Pack 2 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions-2.html
Jungle Queen
Angel of Light
Infernal Gatekeeper

Pack 3 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions-3.html
Divine Judgment
Angelic Protector
Raxxa's Curse

Pack 4 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions-4.html
Frost Giant
Draka, Dragon Tyrant
Raging T-Rex

Pack 5 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions-5.html
Drain Essence
Sea Titan
Zealous Necromancer

Pack 6 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/11/epic-dark-draft-decisions-6.html
Final Task
Rampaging Wurm
Gold Dragon

Pack 7 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/12/epic-dark-draft-decisions-7.html
Guilt Demon
Mist Guide Herald
Blue Dragon

Pack 8 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/12/epic-dark-draft-decisions-8.html
Great Horned Lizard
Brachiosaurus
Dark Knight

Pack 9 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/12/epic-dark-draft-decisions-9.html
Bitten
Inner Peace
Saren, Night Stalker

Pack 10 http://amazingspidertank.blogspot.com/2016/12/epic-dark-draft-decisions-10.html
Spike Trap
Rescue Griffin
Consume

So those are my 30 cards. Let's see the breakdown by faction then cost:

Wild
Fire Spirit
Mythic Monster
Jungle Queen
Draka, Dragon Tyrant
Raging T-Rex
Rampaging Wurm
Great Horned Lizard
Brachiosaurus

Good
Angel of Light
Divine Judgment
Angelic Protector
Gold Dragon
Inner Peace
Rescue Griffin

Evil
Infernal Gatekeeper
Drain Essence
Zealous Necromancer
Final Task
Bitten
Saren, Night Stalker
Guilt Demon
Dark Knight
Consume
Raxxa's Curse

Sage
Thought Plucker
Frost Giant
Sea Titan
Mist Guide Herald
Blue Dragon
Spike Trap

Well that is quite the spread. Pretty even across all colors so Loyalty triggers will be very hard to come by, making my Wild choices not as great. I am noticing a ridiculous amount of champions. I have 22 champions and only 8 events. I also only have 6 0-cost cards, which is not enough IMO. I am severely lacking in removal, although a lot of my champions at least replace themselves. I have only 1 Recycle trigger which is pretty awful, meaning I have to rely on my champions' tribute abilities and slim events for card draw. I have some really hard hitting champions, so if they can stay alive I will be in good shape. I will have to just keep playing the big champions and force my opponent to use sweepers or specific direct removal. I don't have a lot of removal. I have Fire Spirit and Draka, Divine Judgment, Drain Essence, Bitten, Consume, Raxxa's Curse, Blue Dragon, and Spike Trap. I guess that's a decent amount of removal as long as my opponent doesn't have really big guys like me, lol.

I actually have a decent amount of health gain so that will help keep me in a game. I don't have any offensive tricks like Rage or Lash unfortunately. I can really punish people for playing their gold first with Blitzing 1-cost champions (or Final Task), and my 0-cost all-stars Dark Knight and Guilt Demon.

I am definitely lacking on plays during my opponent's turn. Not a lot of Ambushing stuff and I'm really lacking in events, so that will be a problem too.

It's possible this deck could work through shear brute force, but unlikely. I would hope I would draft better than this if it was done correctly with an opponent and not just thinking about the first pack.

Thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment and I hope you enjoyed it. Happy gaming!
