Don't mind it. This brawl has tons of bugs. For example, shaman's healing totem makes your board invincible since it heals after rag has done his damaged and sets all minions that were killed by rag to 1 hp.
Unpopular opinion here. I like Blizzard taking their time before nerfing something. Undertaker nerf took too long (as most probably is secret pally), but I would rather have this to having to relive 4 changes to Unleash the Hounds.
You will lose early game, due to having to push the button or having to play a subpar move. T2 Dire wolf / protector / egg? Seems weak. However if you survive to mid late game, you will win. I had a really similar deck recently and went 12 with it. However, I would get my early game when I need it in almost all games, so that was really lucky on my side.
Overall I think getting 6 wins with this deck is an OK outcome.
This is a one on one game in essence. It does not require cooperation with other players in any way to succeed. Therefore chat is strictly an optional feature that could make the game even worse.
Like with the coop brawl where you couldn't chat with the opponent?
That was a 5 (?) day event over the course of more than two years that Hearthstone has been open for playing.
So you don't want to coop to be a thing that's added to the game in future?
How about having a coop mode before implying that there should be a feature developed specifically for it?
Also you got too far away from the initial point. I was talking about the current state of the game and how much is chat feature necessary. I was not talking about benefits of chat should we have co-op or some other similar mode.

Even OP agrees, that BMing, flaming is an issue when all we have are six emotes! Opening up chat would make this problem times worse.
Report system? Well, I was playing DotA for a while. Reporting exists there as well. However pressing a button is far less satisfying than flaming back or doing something stupid in game. Also, you are not guaranteed that the person that got reported will penalized. And in the end people will not be encouraged enough to use this system. If you say that this can be solved by looking into reports thoroughly, imagine the amount of workforce this would require! And as we know HS team is rather small, so I doubt they would make such a risky investment into a feature that very well might be a total failure to a game that got so popular so quick.
And one more thing, I think Blizzard solved the whole communication problem in HS in a very elegant way. Want communication? Here, six emotes. Want to be an asshole? Go ahead, say "Thank you" or "Greetings" to piss off your opponents. Bothered by emote flaming? Squelch! Want to chat? Well, IF your opponent wants to communicate with you AND you want to communicate as well - as him as a friend and chat. If you got flamed - it's your own damn fault! One might say, that it's impossible to communicate during the game. Play some friendly matches against your newfound friend and there you go - in-game chat.
This somehow sounds awfully similar to what OP wants to have implemented...
The last truly cancerous deck was Undertaker hunter. If he gets a good draw, you could do absolutely nothing but see your hp go to 0 by T5. All other decks that salty people call cancerous have a goal - to burst down your opponent before he can establish big enough board presence. But the difference here is that there are counters even to god starts. Tech Revenge for warrior/ Reno decks /increased number of good 1 drops for slower decks, anyone? Also should a face deck have a bad starting hand, it almost never wins.
Oh and one more thing, I play face shaman from time to time. Got around 100 wins with it and in my experience, I would have won many more games, if I made some smart trades between going to face. So... currently face decks is not cancer.
Don't dust it. It is a good weapon for slower meta. Also, should some weapon buffing cards be brought into the game, you could very much regret DEing this :)
Why would anyone feel bad about playing a certain deck? It's a game that is meant to give you fun. If you feel bad after playing the deck of your choice, you are not using Hearthstone correctly :)

I just got offered Undercity Huckster in the arena draft. Should'nt this card be banned from the drafting pool as of couple of months ago?

Naxx -> LoE -> BRM.
BRM has a lot of cards that *might* be good in the future if certain environment settles down.

A lot of people will be confused whether they queued up for a ranked or arena match...
