Interesting that both Pirate and Quest Warriors have really good winrates.

A warlock played Doomsayer and I replied with Dirty Rat, pulling his Jaraxxus. That's the first good use of Dirty Rat I've had, unlike the time I pulled that dino that eats everything summoned (including the Dirty Rat).
Unfortunately it was a warlock, so even with a board full of 5/5's he could simply use felfire potion or twisting nether and counter with 9 HP minion(s).

Quest rogue forgets to attack with 5/5 Patches and then loses game to quest warrior who has 3 health left.

I had a Quest Rogue clear only half of my board as Pirate Warrior and then ended their turn with a board full of 5/5s instead of killing me.
They assumed I didn't have lethal at that point but I picked up my Heroic Strike and laughed.
I had to start from 25 as I hadn't played in a couple of months, but Midrange Beast Hunter and Pirate Warrior got me back to 15 which is cool.
I Want to try Eloise's Miracle Rogue and some Murloc decks too but I just keep winning.
As long as you keep playing Pirate Warrior you'll have that "I just keep winning" problem, yes.
Elemental Paladin is really fun. Being able to generate/buff Elementals so easily means you can throw out some ridiculous hands (most I've had was 4 x 3/4 at 1 mana each, want to see how high I can go!).
Not sure which I prefer yet out of this of Elemental Shaman, but I'm glad I built both.

80G EU Quest up for trading.
Really liking the Elemental package. At worst it's Curvestone but there is also some thinking and predictions going on when you plan your play for the next turn and drop an Elemental.
What's everyone's opinion on Malkorok? Since I don't have every card for Kibler's Curator Quest Warrior I put in a Grom and Malkorok since the latter has only two real bad outcomes with Light's Justice and Molten Blade imo. Am I forgetting something?

too soon to ask for a rogue quest nerf? it is starting to get ridiculous
Pirate Warrior is still there, so it's probably too soon.
That's probably more to do with your current location than some kind of world wide mobile issue.
Having no connection problem on my mac.
I used to be able to reconnect my game. But now it just says I lost to disconnection.

FIbonacci's control warrior is the truth. For some reason i still dont understand the Deathwing/Quest win condition is destroying Quest Rogue.

Just played a very satisfying game.
Opponent immediately coins and plays primal fin totem, then goes on to play another primal fin totem, murloc tide hunter, murloc quest.
I was playing an agro mage so I just kept casting spells to his face, while he was stuck with a full weak board.
My last two turns I finally play minions and finish him off with leeroy.

Naah, it's like a more radical Jade deck.
Early bad tempo turned into pure durdle, and late good tempo turned into 5/5s out of thin air. Aggro beats it and I suppose as one difference to jade druid comparison, it seems to punish unoptimized midrange lists rather than proper control.

The main thing I'm disliking about Token Paladin is a third of the meta running Fan of Knives and simple Rogue Hero Power.
Is a real cool deck otherwise.

Haven't really managed to settle on any specific decks so far, been trying out a few things. Problem is I don't want to craft anything just yet so I've let what I opened on launch day dictate what decks I've played.
Quest Rogue (opened the Quest, feel obliged to play it) - It seems pretty all or nothing when I play it, I either have a a board of 5/5's by turn 5 or 6 or a shitty early game gets me steamrollered. When it clicks it's OP as f*ck, but it can misfire... unlike something like Pirate Warrior where you can still win even with a shitty opening hand.
Elemental SHAY-man (opened Kalimos) - Probably the deck I'm enjoying the most, but bugger me does it have no early game. Turn 6 onwards is great, throwing activated Elemental's down left and right, but aggro tears you a new one.
Scumbag Hunter (opened... um, Babbling Bird?) - After losing to aggro Hunter decks on more than a few occasions, I gave it a try. You feel like an asshole while you play it, but beating down an Exodia Mage with a 8/4 Scavenging Hynea on turn 6 is strangely arousing.
I used Sap against early Edwin's. Can't remember if I took it out, though.

I turn on thijs stream and see a legend 59 rank Murloc Paladin vs legend 136 rank Purify Priest. Weird times we live in.
Nice to see a streamer finally try Murloc Paladin out. I'm sure it was going to happen eventually even if bad but I think it is a pretty good deck.
I think I need to put Hydrologist back in. It did win me a couple games when I got it off Primalfin Lookout. Really nice to have an option for Repentance, Noble Sacrifice, Redemption, or Getaway Kodo. They're all very situational, and so the discover buffs them a ton. It's like Journey Below being good for rogue just as a way to get Anub'rak for instant win against certain decks, without having to run it outright.
Adaptation and the 2/6 Taunt buff is an interesting idea.

Deathwing is absolutely insane in this meta. 0 regrets for crafting it a few days ago.

Completed rogue quest against another quest rogue with a dirty rat. Completely dismantled his hand.
This is relevant to my interests.
Yeah he's really good. Rogue's tend to blurp out their hand for some reason and then wish they hadn't. Same goes for Whirlwind/King Mosh.

I don't like Violet Teacher in quest rogue at all, it's such a win more card. It doesn't help beat difficult MUs and it doesn't advance your quest. Moroes I somewhat get but am not a huge fan of either.

Karazhan. It's required for Hunter, Mage, Rogue, and Shaman.
Also, you can get a lot of dust if you're ok with disenchanting stuff like Medhiv or Malchazar
