First thing I tried was Even Shaman with the following additions:

Belligerent Gnome to protect Flametongue totems and knife jugglers.

Shieldbreaker (2 mana silence OPOP?)

Cheaty Anklebiter (as a 1-of, replacing the 1-of Vicious Scalehide. Anklebiter isn't great, but my gut instinct says Scalehide is even worse soooo...).

I think these additions are probably good if the deck is still viable buuuuuut I also strongly advise against playing Even Shaman on ladder right now. All of your 2/2s like Knife Juggler and Dire Wolf Alpha will just die horrible deaths to Odd Mage which is about 50% of the ladder right now.

As it happens, I also opened Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk, so I went and played some odd mage. Picked the deck recipe, missing 10 cards including Frost Lich Jaina and Dragon's Breath. OK...added Blackwald Pixie and Clockwork Automaton. Still need 6 more cards. Added Kirin Tor Mage and some secrets. Done! Expected the deck to be trash, queued up some ladder and...to my shock winning most of my games so far.

Decks right now aren't really set up to beat Ragnaros on 7. Daring Fire Eater is 3 mana deal 4 damage summon a 1/1, which is fantastic. Clockwork Automaton is much less impressive, as 7 mana deal 4 damage summon a 4/4; like a shitty firelands portal. But sometimes Clockwork Automaton lives, and then things get funny (second Automaton and Daring Fire Eater is 16 damage to the face).

I'm sure people will figure out how to beat turn 7 Ragnaros in a few days (or maybe everyone will just play deathrattle hunter or odd paladin, cause both of those sound good against it). But for now this seems to be the day 1 expansion deck that people haven't figured out how to beat.
