tempo priest isn't a good deck but it's a good laddering deck because you generally know by turn 3 whether you've won or not (either you played minions or you didn't draw any)

Every single time I push for D1 3 stars, in that final game I run into Trolden level bad luck and then lose 3 in a row.

Just had shadowjeweler singlehandedly turn a game around against me because it just locked down everything I tried to do with secrets. Oh and zephrys wanted to give me bloodlust instead of flare against five secrets. Gonna be a long year

Has anyone been having success with Libram Paladin? I've been running it in wild and I'm pretty sure i'm going to hit at least platinum 10. I don't even necessarily feel like it's a GOOD deck, but I've been able to deal with a fair amount of decks by just throwing, at a minimum, 2/2 recruits at things for board control. ### Liadrin's Librams # Class: Paladin # Format: Wild # # 2x (1) Aldor Attendant # 2x (1) Glow-Tron # 1x (2) Air Raid # 2x (2) Hand of A'dal # 2x (2) Libram of Wisdom # 1x (2) Lightforged Blessing # 2x (2) Shotbot # 1x (2) Subdue # 2x (3) Aldor Peacekeeper # 2x (3) Bronze Explorer # 1x (3) Divine Favor # 2x (4) Consecration # 2x (5) Aldor Truthseeker # 2x (5) Libram of Justice # 2x (6) Spikeridged Steed # 1x (7) Lady Liadrin # 2x (9) Libram of Hope # 1x (10) Yogg-Saron, Hope's End # AAEBAYsWBqcF6awCipoDlqwDlrYDhMEDDNwDjwmIxwLW/gKQrgONtgPKuAP9uAPquQPruQPsuQPKwQMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone It's not even fine-tuned.

You're running Librams in Wild, you should try and craft Eydis Darkbane. She's a machine gun.

Firebert posted:Not dragon priest but a tempo priest list has been kicking around since the nerfs, has very favourable matchups vs the meta I feel like this looks a lot better than it actually is. It completely lacks draw and has no answer to any kind of removal. You build up your nicely buffed board, one Zephrys or any kind of board clear makes it go away immediately, leaving you with no hand, no board and no hope in recovering quickly. Against classes with no removal like DH or the current warriors that works very well, but other priests are a nightmare, rogues double flikk the poo poo out of you and even a mage can just polymorph your board into nothingness. Obviously since you know by turn 5 whether or not you've won or should concede it's probably the most time-efficient priest deck we have currently, but honestly you can get the same result by just playing braindead face hunters who at least don't care about removal that much.

After all the unfun interactions I've had with shadowjeweler this week I've come to the conclusion that he should give out random secrets and be returned to being a 1/5

I'm only using him in Wild but I like the certainty of knowing that playing a Rogue secret with 3 mana means I'm guaranteed a Paladin secret to play on top.

Well I think I'm forever doomed to rank 1 two stars. It really feels at this point like I need to play enough games to get lucky with draws and opponents. I went from rank d5 to D1.2 in a single run then back down to d5 goofing around with pirate warrior before another perfect streak back to the same place. Do you play people in legend at high diamond? It sure feels like I'm running into some gatekeeper decks tuned very hard against aggro climbing decks.

I've been putzing around between legend 6k and 8k and I either play people towards my rank or anyone from diamond 4-7. I'd assume slightly higher legend is playing slightly higher diamond until you get into the top 2000 or so.

Xguard86 posted:Do you play people in legend at high diamond? It sure feels like I'm running into some gatekeeper decks tuned very hard against aggro climbing decks. Yes, since legend and star bonus players are solely matched by their MMR and not any rank, they can get matched with diamond players very easily and since the original premise of legend being the top 10000 of a given region is gone as dad legend now exists and legend rank 25000 is now a thing, that means that a majority of legend players are matched with not just lower diamond, but any diamond. It seems to be the case that in fact there are now almost more legend than diamond 1 to 5 players in the US and EU at least, since the diamond players with no star bonus should be matched based on rank and thus only get legend players if a) their MMR is similar to the legend ones and b) there aren't enough diamond players in the queue at that given time to match them properly. So yeah since many legend players at like 22000 don't care about what the number says, you might see more anti fun decks that ruin your ladder endeavors while hardly bothering those already in legend.

Made it to Diamond 1, 3 stars, had a great opening hand, now back to diamond 2. I should probably just quit the game, it's more stressful than fun now.

After my 6th time time being one win away, I finally made it over the hurdle and into legend for the first time. Highlander Hunter was my deck of choice. 54 games from D5 to legend. Being able to play different decks is going to be great.

I’m in the 2000-2500 range and it seems about half my games are against similarly ranked legend players and the other half are D3-D1 players. Devo posted:I'm currently playing against a Demon Hunter with the 1000 win skin. What the gently caress. What, you don’t play 2000 games a month?

Devo posted:I'm currently playing against a Demon Hunter with the 1000 win skin. What the gently caress. There was a guy who casually posted his 1000th win with demon hunter between a bunch of other stuff on IG. He hit legend twice and made it through all nerfs since release, around 1900 games in total, but also got like 150 wins in the first 18 hours before the hot fix was released, where he mostly won because non-DHs conceded to them being dumb hosed overpowered. So yeah if you got some free time on your hands, I have absolutely no idea how anyone's mind could stay sane this way.

AnacondaHL posted:Just because you can't see the decisions doesn't mean they don't exist. For real though, playing aggro isn’t any more mindless than playing control, or at least it shouldn’t be. Knowing your outs and playing to them, anticipating responses, reading your opponent for openings, maximizing your damage per card, knowing when to shift from board control to chasing lethal, there’s still lots to do in 75 seconds. Even decks like face hunter need to make a bunch of these decisions and the answers aren’t always obvious. Just because a deck can be autopiloted doesn’t mean that it’s the correct way to play it.

Midrange decks are waaaaaaaaaaay more autopilot than aggro. You can lose a game as aggro in the first 3 turns with your mulligan and first few decisions.

I mean yeah I'm sure there's decision making going on at higher levels but 99% of the aggro I see in mid-plat Wild can be summed up as "play minions on curve, go face"

I despise playing as and against aggro. It's equally mindless on both sides, draw cards to find out who wins!

Promoted Pawn posted:fuckin’ bodied I mean, yeah, in theory and for truly competitive gaming that's true, but in practise most people copy paste a deck from reddit or hsreplay, dump it in their collection, think about, at best, what cards to craft if they don't go full money, and then play 200 games in a row with the eyes somewhat meeting the hearthstone screen every third round tops. That's not a thing about aggro or control or whatever though, just about the complexity of the deck. There are complex aggro games that need you to decide good stuff in 3 turns and dumbfuck control priest decks where you drop the same removal whenever your eye sees something remotely resembling the color of a specific minion. It's just that usually the aggro version of the latter is cheap and accessible, so you see it more often. It's not like these hordes of highlander priests that throw turn 2 zephrys into your face to click on the colorful card that hopefully is brightwing are all experts their craft.

The best complex manuver in facehunter is timing all your face damage death rattle minions with their priestess of furry. Hopefully combined with the right total for lethal. Double points if that total includes a fire trap which DH's just can't resist triggering the next turn. With the nerfs and priestess-less DH way less common now.

If you get to top 1500 you get the 11x star bonus on the next season, otherwise you’re just playing for fun at this point.
