Hearthpwn

The title is real, I went from rank 25 while losing 12 games. At some point I had a 30 game winning streak, from rank 13 to rank 3. I started playing wild on the 22nd and reached legend on the 27th, having played about 80 games total.

Here are some of the things I learned along the way:

• I was obviously very lucky in terms of matchups and lethal topdecks, this deck is AWESOME but not a 90% win rate (no deck ever is)
• Wild, below rank 3, is very non-competitive. If you show up with a tier 1 deck at any point below rank 5, you will have a VERY easy time, at least during the second half of the month.
• Odd tempo rogue is a very very good deck, but it's not unbeatable. If I had to rank matchups from good to bad, it would be
  • Random unoptimized decks (there are lots of these in Wild, up to rank 5 or so, and this deck is really good at 100% beating them as it's quite punishing to slow starts)
  • Mage (super easy, didn't lose a single game, both freeze and tempo are easy)
  • Priest (again, not a single loss, big priest can theoretically nut-draw you but you will win most games anyways. I beat a Barnes->Y-shaarj turn 4 big priest)
  • Hunter (very easy as well, always happy to see them)
  • Other random decks (Warrior control, non-mirror rogue, cube warlock, etc) - still very easy
  • Odd paladin (games felt close-ish but I always ended up winning them)
  • Even shaman (we are slightly favoured, but it's close, lost 2 out of 7)
  • Even handlock (I would guess this is unfavoured, lost 3 out of 6)
  • Togwaggle druid (hardest matchup, if they draw 1 plague it gets quite hard, 2nd plague almost impossible, lost 4 out of 7)

In terms of the deck, I copied the list from a VS report, didn't make changes. Probably the first change I will make is cut one Ironbeak Owl for one other 3 drop (Light's Champion, Shady Dealer, Blink Fox or Marsh Drake) - what do you guys think?
