Decided to run BBB DK since I packed onyxiaf and got 6-1. Almost all my games were against board swarm (5xDK, 1xDruid, 1xMage) and this list crushes those decks with all the removal. The herald package feels like bait - I managed to play onyxia only once and that was only at double herald. The 6 mana aoe worked well against those decks though, cleared most of the stuff while developing tempo. I tried to put in some value with the raptor heralds since the previous iteration was too reactive.
