Then you make the deck yourself, try to copy what you saw your opponent did. And of course there’s that weird grace period where you draw the “combo” correctly like 5 times in a row.
And then it never works again. You spend the next 20 games failing to ever draw your slime, and you realize the deck is trash.

Yeah, the problem is that such decks actually discourage playing the game. There are too many decks now where your opponent is playing solitaire, and they either draw what they need or they don’t. Your gameplay becomes irrelevant, unless you have the counter to their scam, in which case they concede immediately.
No matter the result, you haven’t actually played a game.

It’s not really as good as you think. When it high rolls it feels amazing, but it doesn’t do it that often. Like Scrotie said above, you are barely at step #2.
When you get to #4 you will quickly realize how inconsistent it is. I pull off the combo maybe 1 out of 4 games. I stopped playing it because it just doesn’t work. I think you’re better off playing Jailer or something else completely.

How many ways can they cheat out the play?

How many ways to cheat out Thaddius on 5?
Only 2 that I know of.
Slime and Symphony.
Slime requires you to have Thaddius in hand and not Behemoth in order for it to be consistently hitting Thaddius only. If you hit Behemoth, you have to then kill the Behemoth who then summon Thaddius but only if you don’t draw Thaddius first.
What you’ll find happening more often than not is that you’ll draw Thaddius without Slime, you’ll draw Slime without Thaddius, you’ll draw Slime with Behemoth and Thaddius but Slime hits Behemoth, in which case Behemoth does nothing, or you’ll draw Slime and hit Behemoth but then draw Thaddius before Behemoth dies. Any of these things happening ruins the combo.
With Symphony, you have to draw and play Symphony with coin on 4, hit the discount draw song, then play it and hit Thaddius so you can…hit Thaddius on 5 and do nothing. So, instead, you just keep Thaddius in hand until you can drop him AND take advantage of the discounts.
Anyone who plays the deck or has played with the deck knows all of this and knows how inconsistent it is to get Thaddius out on 5. The OP just wants to give anecdotal evidence but everyone who plays the deck knows that it’s way outside of the norm for this to happen. Like I said, I can get the combo to go off about 1 out of 4 games by turn 5/6.
There’s a reason it’s a Tier 3 deck. If it worked as consistent as the OP wants everyone to believe, it would be a Tier 1 deck.

Just wait until a warlock can make a 3/3 a 15/15 and then 2 more 15/15 with rush on turn 5 when the expansion hits!

And then watch as Mages stall even that much board presence until their OTK turn.
Its because the matchmaking in this game is garbage. Too many weird coincidences people want to explain away for some stupid reason. People have to believe the matchmaking is pure and untainted otherwise it means they are not as good as they want to think they are. The matchmaking is designed to keep people from winning too much or losing too much. If they just left the outcome of these games to actual skill 5% of the player base would have 80% win rates. And it wouldnt be anyone on these forums.
You have no proof for your projections, it’s just your feelings. And anyway even now people sometimes hit around 80% WR streaks. Sometimes RNG is generous, sometimes you get rolled. The better you are the more you can influence the outcome.
At the end of the day it’s better if people have conspiracy theories about HS matchmaking that believe in Q.
This is literally the purpose of an MMR system. The fact that you don’t know that completely explains why you think the way you do.
In an MMR system, you will end up at a plateau of wins/losses where your wins and losses are as close to 50% as can be for your skill level.
To explain the ignorance of what you just said, it would be like saying that if I roll a 6 sided die a million times that all the numbers would come close to 1/6th win rate and that is proof of matchmaking designed to keep a number from going over 1/6th and therefor it is rigged.
It never ceases to amaze me the lack of comprehension people have about how statistics works.
Chess MMR gets people as close to 50% win rate as well. Does that mean chess is rigged as well? 
“MMR is designed to keep people from winning too much or losing too much!”

Your post is hilarious… Look at your icon.
Priest Silence Game for lock.
pay one mana… Kill it … Resummon it kill it for 10 and heal for 10…
Turn 8 remove everything from the game.
Nailing that one silence Destroys everything. Otherwise they have to wait till turn 6 with coin or turn 7 and you should see it coming and have plenty of options as a priest.
It is sudden but it really isn’t any different or worse then Hunters smacking you with a 7/6 on turn 2 with a coin Banana naga. Or a undead priest drawing 2 of the 5/4’s in a row with rushing you down.
I generally think the big archetype is super boring and bad design. Relying on some rng combo to win games is just not the way to go.
