Been scrolling through the forums lately and everyone loves to complain about how (insert deck here) is not fun to play against.
So I had a thought. What is actually enjoyable to play against?
Now I know most of the meta is pure cancer atm with highroll or tempo decks but every ~20 games I see an original deck at rank 5 that really renews my enjoyment of the game
My pick would go to something like Miracle Valeera Rogue, knowing that the game could really go anyway.
Anything that isn't a netdeck is the most enjoyable opponent. I'm currently running my own brews of Dragon Mage, Token Paladin, and Zoo Priest (which is fun as hell), and I honestly can't recall the last time I saw an original deck idea on ladder past rank 10. It may have been the Deathrattle Rogue I saw at the start of the month somewhere way back at rank 19.

Building Quirky Decks Every Week, Loving Life at Rank 15!
I love to play against Control Warlock, because their cards are fair and you can play around them (which is why it's not much played...). You can't play around cards like Dragonfire Potion, Devolve or Vilespine Slayer. It's way more enjoyable to play around cards like Defile or Shadowflame because they are interactive with the board and you feel you won because of your decisions and not whether your opponent drew it or not.
I enjoy playing my own custom decks. And I enjoy playing against other People playing their own decks. That way you get to have fun playing against interesting shenanigans your opponent has come up with, which is what was supposed to be the bread and butter of Collectible Card games originally.
Playing against netdeckers is boring because you basically already know everything they are going to do, for example Mages will go Mana Wyrm >Arcanologist > Kirin Tor Mage > Secret. Just takes a lot of fun out of a game when you are playing against a deck you already played against a billion times.

I can get behind this. A lot of Warlock, is pretty straight forward, no crazy RNG Bullshit like Primordial Glyph or Mana Acceleration. You know what a Warlock is capable of doing in any given turn and play around them and it is not so frustrating when you lose because its not like you got bullshitted by RNG.
One of the overall better designed classes for sure.
Honestly I'd say Midrange Hunter. Even that f2p shit. Its predictable and powerful and you know whoever is playing that is trying for easy cheap wins. So its that much better to pull out a win against it.
That's why i still believe a mirror match up system would work great for casual.
You queue up a buffadin, it'll try to find another buffadin for a lil' bit then give up putting you in a random game because nobody else is playing an original deck.
Meanwhile the kelseth rogue/razakus priest/jade druid get to enjoy twice the fun facing itself if it's so damn fun to play top tier decks in casual to begin with
Anything that has little or no RNG is good to play against. Ofc if there was less netdecking there will be more fun because every match could be a surprise, but that is impossibile so I would just hope that in due time all those random effects will end. I really dislike how so many games are decided by pure luck/unluck instead of player's decision making.
I had a really good time playing against the old Maly yogg druid, even tho yogg could single handly win the game I just love that card, sadly it got the nerfhammer
Raza priest and tempo rogue!!I love how they spam emotes non stop when they skillfully highroll and how they add me to wish me cancer and other nice stuff when they don't! :P #kappa

Control Mage mirrors are a romp. I've enjoyed a few of my Highlander Priest games versus Jade Druid as well (they made me feel clever for finagling a win). Really, assuming I'm playing a slower control/combo deck like I usually am, I'm pretty okay with almost everything that gives me a chance to actually play my deck out for a bit, even if I don't win. So long as I'm not fighting Evolve Shaman, Murloc Paladin, Tempo Rogue, Quest Mage, or Big Priest (Read: highrollers and inevitability win conditions) I'm at least close to happy.
Honestly, as annoying as it is when it flips the game in your opponent's favor, a Yogg that backfires is always great value. I've had a fair few games where Yogg casts treachery and starts giving me benefits. I generally like control mirrors and facing the very rare non-meta deck on ladder.

Yogg is still my favorite card even though I never run him in any of my decks because he just doesn't quite fit lol

Anything that's played less than 5% in the meta.

Question everything.
I loved playing control warrior mirror before dead mans hand...
Now I feel like every matchup is painful.
I would give blizzard my house and all my money if they removed priest from the game.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?

From the viable decks atm I'd say token shaman
Fuck cubelock

Renounce Darkness warlock, and any non-murloc paladin.
That'll do, Huffer. That'll do.
Any auto-complete deck! ;)
Priest mirror with both players running Thoughtsteals, Shifting Shades, Crystaline Oracles, and Archbishop Benedictus.
