Really hope Blizzard prints a minion that can't be frozen.
So tired of doing nothing against mage every turn

Play Spellbreaker. I've found that the only time I beat Anduin Priest is when I silence their card draw (LOL), but it also shuts down Paladin buffs, beats frozen boards, helps me get through taunts, and punishes early Edwin plays. I would have lost so many more games without Spellbreaker in my deck.

Really tired of Raza being in the bottom of my deck every game.

It'd be an Anti-Feeze effect;
'Whenever this minion is Frozen, deal X Damage to the enemy Hero.'
That way it can go into Freeze Shaman.

Face nothing but aggro and tempo game after game after game.
Make a deck to counter that then immediately get put up against nothing but control Warlock and Razakus Priest.
And people still think the matchmaking isn't influenced? lol
Edit: Switch to Razakus Priest, immediately queued into Tempo Rogue with perfect draws. "Variance."
Then immediately into a Zoolock with, well wouldn't you know, it, perfect draws/top decks all game long. "Variance."

Think two seconds about what you are saying and you will realize it makes zero sense. Blizzard hates you and loves every single one of your opponents. Really. No you are absolutely right. Blizzard hates you personally and wants you to lose and wants all of your opponents to win. It sucks they got caught at this but at least you can bring your evidence to your local authorities and get blizzard arrested.

Where did I say it only applies to me?
Hearthstone, just like the majority of multiplayer games these days, does its best to keep everyone as close to 50% as possible.

Rope is a lie. How does an Exodia Mage have enough time to pull off his entire combo when he's clearly roping and the "end turn" sound has already played? So dumb.

Idk if HS has mmr in ranked but that's not how it works at all.
You get put against higher mmr opponents until you plateau out at a ~50% wibrate.
It isn't "variance" but negativity bias.
Whooo. I got rank 10 just now with a modernized Demonlock. Played like 10 Anduin Priests tonight and only lost to one. This deck has a lot going for it!

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest songs of all time. Sorry if it's popular as well.

Can you give me a good warlock list? I just wanna keep banging my head against discard

Not to mention this doesn't explain things like Toast going on a huge (15 games?) winstreak to legend recently. If they actively put people against decks that counter them if they win too much, why didn't he get constantly countered?
It sucks, but sometimes it's just not your night. I've had a streak where I won 80% of my games. When that happens, it was all my skill. When I lose 80% instead? RNG is against me. It's confirmation bias, combined with internalizing success and externalizing losses. Pretty much everyone is susceptible to these, myself included.

It curves out like a Zoolock deck into high tempo swings with Voidcaller pulls, PO, and Abusive. Pterrordax is an early game-winner. If you get Pterrordax against a Priest, try to get Windfury and something to make sure it lasts a turn. Putting PO on Pterrordax is 16 damage, and I actually won one match from triple PO on a Windfury Pterrordax (thanks, Dark Peddler!).
Against Priest, you just want to keep refueling the board so they have to burn their hand to keep you at bay. Don't activate the Nerubian Eggs so you can keep a board when they wipe you. Tap hard into Gul'dan, but save him for when you can either get double Doomguards or Doomguard + Mal'ganis for big burst damage. Imp Gang Boss and Flame Imp are the only cards that I find to be iffy in the deck. The first because it has negative synergy with Gul'dan, and the second because taking face damage is a big deal in this meta. But having a turn 1 play that answers Cleric is a big deal as well.
I'm mostly talking about Priest a lot because it's 30-50% of what you face in Wild right now.
If you were looking for a Standard list...sorry, the only Standard deck I have is called "Roman's Deck", and it's my 2-year old's deck for when he wants to play cool animals and hear their sounds.
Well, I did great!
I managed to go through all of the single player adventure, and got 2 wins vs Lich King (Druid, Hunter). Hopefully I'll have time do do a couple more next weekend. (got stuck with Mage)
You could use murloc deck for mage. But not sure if it's still good to beat lich king after the warleader nerf.

wow i completely forgot that nobody plays silence priest anymore. i just queued it up and everybody is teching/mulliganing around kaza priest so i can just do some bullshit and win on turn 5 with a 16/16. pretty fun.

Woot, rank 5 for the month! I went from 10 to 5 while only losing once as Jade Druid. Er, I mean...Jade Druid is dead, don't play it.
What lists worked well for you?
Edit: Beat TLK with Fatigue Warrior. I killed him with minions, but I did get him into fatigue. :-D
Edit2: Beat him with Big Priest. Took me about 10 tries because I never got Barnes and I don't have Shadow Visions for additional resurrects, so the RNG had to be with me.
Now I just have Paladin left...
I think most people feel like Combo Priest surpasses Silence Priest. I haven't played either, so I don't have a strong opinion.
I think a lot of players netdeck, run into a frustrating situation, and think "If only I had this card", and then mess with their deck. In doing so, they make the deck worse because they don't understand the principle of deck consistency.
I still need to do this. I have Paladin, Priest, and Warrior left.

I'm playing standard, but that's okay. I never thought about bloodreavr guldan for a zoo deck
It's actually a thing with keleseth too.
I think priest should be easy since you only get silenced emotes. Everyone says Murlocs work well against Lich King, so I'll try that with Paladin.
I'm trying a molten giants deck. I think I need to rush and hit face before he summons the frozen guys.
Murloc doesn't work with pally. If you have Tirion, should use that Tirion trick so Lich King won't attack you

I have been reflecting a lot on how the DKs could have been more interesting across the board. I think Shaman should have let you discover what you evolve the minion into.

Oh boy. Only needed to use 1 to win though.
Huh. New alt Warlock hero, available during fireside gatherings for free in Oct, which implies it will be paid afterward
https://us.battle.net/hearthstone/e...at-hallow's-end-fireside-gatherings-10-9-2017
no doubt, discover mechanic would have been amazing on it. plus no more Big Time Rackateer

Pretty odd choice for the first Warlock hero. Guessing a lot of people won't be too happy lol.
Then again, Morgl was equally as odd.

Man that would have been super cool.
That's a way to fight the insane RNG of this game. Make it somewhat your choice.
i kind of like the idea that future heroes would be part of a Hearthstone specific universe rather than just WoW characters.
Not sure about continuing the whole "premium hero" thing though, at least not at the existing prices.
UGHHHHH... this push from team 5 for this fireside gatherings are starting to become obnoxious.
I seriously don't want to go to a fireside gathering, they really don't get it, do they?
has anyone from here gone to one?

Hey you know what everyone loved in Europe is when we put Tyrande behind Twitch Prime and didn't give them a decent way to unlock her, lets do this again but instead now they have to drive an hour or more to a fireside gathering. They either don't give a fuck or they are just plain stupid.

No because I was in a supported country and my local game store from magic is coincidentally a fireside gathering spot too so it seems like I'll easily get this one as well for little effort.
Still salty that I couldn't get Khadgar. Not looking forward to figuring out when the hell I can get the new Warlock hero.
I don't know why they aren't offering some of these limited-time only heroes as paid offers down the line.

Edit: n/m I see I don't have access to a few key cards only available in the adventure.
It's probably been posted and discussed by now. I liked this PC gamer article.
