I guess he covered it all or left everyone spechless lol

It definitely gives more perspective on Ironforge... in that it can be used to recur effect-providing equipment.
I'd given it a go with Hunter (for Block, initially) combined with Find Treasure allies just to see if I could outdraw Hunters' troubles versus the many discard decks that exist.

I appreciate seeing the different perspectives on Ironforge, but the fact is that it's kind of a janky combo unless you commit to using effect-providing equipment. Fun to play, but not as well-balanced & competitive as I'd first hoped.

I love Mark's articles and clever combos, and this is no exception.  However, I feel that the Ironforge Deck I posted a while back is a bit more well-rounded and can irk out more wins.  Of course, I did not focus on Find Treasure and Spellunker, which would take the deck in a different direction entirely.

I will say that he captured all the best reoccuring cards to abuse with Ironforge:

Retainer's Blade, Blue Suede Shoes, and Blackout Truncheon.

I would add Korthas to the list of amazing dwarfs to play (despite him not having find treasure) and possibly Chipper Ironbane.

Marksman's Legguards is also a nice recursion card, albeit only for Hunter.
It's especially fun to use with Wyler, who isn't a Dwarf.

Yes, that is very true.  I thought of how cool it was to be able to recur the 1 cost equipment with only 1 ally in play, but couldn't think up a good build to support that 1 card.  I did not see much else for hunter that would be great to run with Ironforge (in terms of equipment/weapons)

here's a thought. Use 4x major healing potion. They're 1 cost, so it's almost like unlimited heal

You're right, there wasn't a whole lot else, which is another reason I scrapped my block Ironforge Hunter. Other equipment pieces I ran in the build were:
~ (2-cost) Bloodseeker
~ (2) Girdle of Blasted Reaches (ok, so I can look at a card upon this entering, which goes with Miranda)
~ (2) Cloak of Darkness
~ (3) Fletcher Gloves of the Phoenix
~ (5) Ice Barbed Spear (which I never planned to recur)

read ironforge - healing potion = item.
