That synergy is the only thing Hunters have going for them. They didn't want to bury the class, just nerf it a small amount... Which is what they've done. Just remember how many times have you lost to Hunters by a single turn, and now those losses would probably be wins.

One problem with the Battle Tag display is that it doesn't show on which server the person primarily plays. FluxFlashor said that he was working on fixing that, but now I'm not sure if it's going to be done.

Until then, feel free to join me for a few games and some tactical discussions.

This would have an effect on much more than just aggro... Like the Warlock hero ability. And it would probably help Priest a bit too much. Also, aggro would probably take too big of a hit, even though it's just 10 Life.
I had a similar idea, where in the first 2 turns heroes would be immune. But that wouldn't work either and it would change the concept of the game.
Although, I agree with you that aggro is really out of control (get it?), and it's the reason why I'm playing less and less constructed. Good anti-aggro cards could help, but it seems we're not getting them in the first Adventure pack.

Sure, but only if you have a pretty good card collection already.
On the other side, if you're missing a lot of crucial rare, epic and legendary cards, then you probably still want to be playing arena and improving your collection.

Nice additions, only issue with the Battle Tag display is that it's somewhat useless without knowing the primary server on which the owner of the tag is playing.

I guess it could work. Although, I've seen more Handlocks use 2x Hellfire and 1x Shadowflame, where as I see you're using the opposite ratio. I'm not sure Abomination would be as useful as a Hellfire against Zoo.

Also, on an unrelated subject... How useful do you find Bloodmage Thalnos in your deck? I was also planning on trying him out in Handlock.

Have any of you seen the spell mage thats been kicking about on ladder? It involves Sorcerers Apprentices and minions that boost spell damage, then they hit you with 2 frost bolts and 2 ice lances to the face for the win? xD 

Sounds gimmicky. But I'll see your Mage tech, and raise with some Hunter tech.
Saw an opponent at rank 5 play a Young Dragonhawk, then next turn he plays Bestial Wrath on it and kills two of my minons.

My first three 12-x arena runs were with a Mage... Have also hit 12 with Druid, Shaman, Rogue and Priest.

The dream is to hit 12 with Warlock. I came close once, had the sickest rush draft but went for 11. Never came close after that so I tend to not pick Warlock when possible.

Edit: Oh, and congrats for the first 12 win run. May there be plenty more.

The devs also pointed out that one of their goals when making this game was making sure that there were "small victories" to be had. I like to try celebrating those times when RNGeezus is on my side, or when I succeed in clearing his board super efficiently, even if it's only for a single turn.

Yes, this makes the game so much more enjoyable. If you can keep your cool and learn to celebrate the small things, you'll find yourself losing with a smile (and winning with one too), and it's so much healthier than kicking your subwoofer or punching your desk.

Talking about extremes: fetching a wisp via mindgames :D

People actually USE wisp? O.o

1-1 for zero mana? Wisp OP.

Thanks, that's the plan.

I'm running a very similar Zoo build, currently sitting at rank 6.
I would like to know whether you think this deck could go up all the way to Legend?

I've hit a wall. Pretty much our class cards are garbage compared to others.

Which class? Which rank? Try to add as much info as you can.

I have seen Alexstrasza used in games more often when playing Handlock, plus it has the advantage of being class-neutral, so you can use it later in other decks.

No one plays Hearthstone in my town and I could use a few pals to test decks and exchange ideas from time to time.
