I've noticed that if you're leaning on Dragon's Fury to win you the game, it's probably because you're preparing to play it on Turn 5. So the inclusion of Elise in the deck really doesn't affect your Furies all that much.

I just took Gluttonous Ooze out for MCT, because in a dozen or so games, it hasn't been useful once. I think people really slept on Daring Fire-Eater. It's probably been this deck's best card so far. Super helpful in the early-game, super helpful in the late-game too, after becoming Frost Lich. I had a paladin plop a Lich King on a board with just a 3/3 Water Elemental, I guess hoping I didn't have a Voodoo Doll (which I didn't), but Zilliax + Daring Fire-Eater is a hell of a lot of reach.
