No wild is not dead. 

I'm one of those people. The last meta got so boring I ended up playing wild exclusively for 2 months,

Now, similarly, the wild meta has barely changed, but there's a massive difference in standard. So now I'm exclusively playing it.

I'll go back to wild soon, but for now I'm enjoying standard too much.

Exactly the same for me, I'm usually a wild player, but because of a new rotation and new set i'm only playing standard right now because a lot of new decks to try out, gives me a break from playing against wild big priest all the time. lol

Pretty much the concept right there. Tired of playing against all of the big priest. I have swapped to normal as well. I’m sitting at rank 10 wild so I’m good right now

 I think that the OP is talking about that he is unable to find a match while in wild mode.

People love to jump the gun and declare shit "dead", "OP", "needing a nerf", etc, waaayyyyyyyyy too quick.

Well Wild is pretty bad rn, at least for me. Big Priest makes an awfully high percentage of decks I face. And that just sucks all the fun I might be having.

 That's because the bulk of hearthstone players are primarily standard players. As the expansion grows stale, they move to wild, and there are suddenly more wild players. This happens every cycle to some degree, and it will continue to happen.

Not sure why people complain about ''cancer'' in Wild when all of Wild is cancer. You fight your cancer with their cancer. So it levels out. 

If you look at the HSReplays numbers, the site is tracking about two dozen Standard games for every Wild game, and three Arena games for every Wild game. But play-rates in Wild always tank after a new release, and given the shake-up of rotation, the format is more under-played than usual - the numbers are usually around 10-to-1 and 2-to-1, and it's perfectly fair to say that Wild is the least-played of the three competitive formats.

It goes without saying - folks are free to draw whatever conclusions they wish about what these numbers mean for the "future of the game," but that freedom doesn't entail that those conclusions will be correct.

Archmage Vargoth has killed Wild.  

Wild is dead for me. No more Dk’s, cubes, op bullshiit etc.

Good riddance 👍🎉🎉🎉

This week and next are the best time to play standard all year. I had been playing wild almost exclusively since December but haven’t played it once this week. I bet lots of other wild players are in a similar boat.

Just give it 1-2 more weeks for Standard meta to stabilize, and Wild will recover its usual population.

Yup totally dead, it’s best to make wild assumptions about things that aren’t proven and this is how I live my life. I also love to drive high speed down the road with my eyes closed pounding a beer every time I hit a “speed bump”

Big priest became unbearable, it got insane support with Vargoth and now Cathrena and mass res, as much as i loved playing wild before those two existed, wild became unbearable with new op big priest support, that's why i'm whizbanging in standard now, and no barnes isnt a problem, the problem comes from fucking spellstone giving them 2x 7 mana nzoths and eternal servitude saying "friendly".

It's not taking that long for me.  Maybe you are queuing at a time when your server usually sleeps?

Contrary to the rest of the thread, I actually moved to wild this expansion after barely playing there since WW.  I'm not liking any of the standard decks and there's lots of cool synergies in wild.  Twinspells and Mana Cyclone makes doing the mage quest a cakewalk; Keeper Stalladris makes your jades huge; and while you can play Fel Lord Betrug and Dollmaster Dorian with Plot Twist in standard, all the broken cubelock pulls are in wild
