I see many people are calling this game a shamanfiesta, but from rank 7 and up to 4 where I am now, I have met approximately 40% tempo mage. That's insane. What decks counter Tempo mage? Zoo or Healadin? Renolock? tank-up warrior?
Any tips?:)
I miss Loatheb.
You can't really counter all those match ups or you'll have a new OP deck. You want to counter the majority of them or the decks with the highest showings on ladder. I've been using a new dragon warrior that's good against shaman (7-1), tempo mage, and zoo. I also won against a reno lock but it's prob more like 50/50 against them and healadin.
OMG! Great deck, been running something similar and defo will check this out. I've used your C'Thun Warr deck, but with little success. Any tips on where to find good control warr/c'thun control warr streams? I'm sure my failures are skill related - I still struggle vsShaman, and Dragon Warr seems better in that MU, but I really would like to improve my control game :(
Yeah, control warrior or control decks takes a lot of practice and more skill than the other archetypes. It usually takes the longest to master. I haven't watch much streams recently but traditionally Sjow is a very good control warrior player. check him out and his vods on twitch. You can also watch replays on the world championship that happened this past month. There's a lot of c'thun warriors and you get to see the pro's play and also commentator's analysis.
Keep working on getting better and you'll get there eventually.

Let me refrase that sentence again. Do you know about a deck that counters Tempo Mage?
Does zoo, healadin, renolock or tankup warrior counter Tempo Mage? I don't need a deck that counters all of them, only tempo mage :)
But I can try out your tempo-dragon warrior.

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
I fell from rank 2 to rank 4 yesterday. Been playing midrange shaman, but recently switched back to Maly Druid. Not sure what to do, but I'm a little tilted.
Any general tips for reaching legend? I just want to get it once....
One of my friends was rank 1 - 3 stars - 2 days ago. yesterday he was rank 6. oh my gosh. The tilt must be hard for him.
I've personally have given up on Legend this month. Was rank 4 after 5 days into the month. Now I'm rank 7. I just wanna have fun for the rest of the month, and see where it takes me :)

@Havefun31: Thanks for the advice. I was rank 2 and now I'm rank 7.... I've been playing a MalyDruid but not sure if it's a good choice. I'll keep trying, though, and I'll keep your tips in mind.
I just hit rank 5 for the first time using my tweaked maly druid deck, its been performing sooo good for me since most opponents happen to be tempo mages (9-0 vs tempo mage) and somehow shamans haven't been that much of a problem recently (8-7 vs shaman)... the main problems for me are c'thun warriors (0-3) and secret hunters (3-7)
And although i have a 58% win rate with my maly druid deck and i really enjoy playing it, I'm kinda scared to play a single game since hitting rank 5 because i read so many comments from people saying they tilted so hard using maly druid post rank 5. i'm tempted to switch to discard zoo or secret hunter (or even the cancer deck itself) because i really hate losing ranks and starting all over again.
What are the chances of maly druid reaching legend this season and is there a lot hunters and c'thun warriors after rank 5?

You can reach legend with any competetive deck if you know how to play it. But you need to change attitude which prevent you to use best decks. And don't be scared, it's children's card game based on RNG-effects after all. You always can get downswing and lose some stars, it's completely normal.
Thank you for the words of encouragement, and i'll definitely consider your advice and switch to a competitive version and see how it goes.. the only reason i edited it in the first place was to make it a little bit faster for ranks 20-10 but surprisingly my win rate increased from 52% to 58% at ranks 10-5 which made me keep it as it. but now it doesn't seem to work anymore since i'm stuck at 50% and one star for 8 games now.
Week ago, I hit my first Legend with Discard Zoolock. It struggles with Shamans and Warriors, but it has good matchups with all other classes especially Druid, Tempo Mage and Hunter. It took me only 122 games from Rank17 to Legend and 73 games from Rank5 with 49-24 record.
As you can see, I managed to get at least 50% winrate with every class.

Good work. Did you use the same deck the whole time, or did you tweak the deck as you climbed the ladder?

I used pretty standard decklist with 2x Abusive Sergents, 2x Dire Wolf Alpha and 2x Knife Jugglers. I think the only techs we can swap in are Crazed Alchemist or Acidic Swamp Ooze in place of Dire Wolf Alpha or Darkshire Librarian, but I think that this exactly decklist is perfectly refined and balanced to all common matchups.

Nice. I'm currently rank 4 with Discard zoo, the only tech I have is demonfire insted of one Darkshire Librarian. Have only met 1 shaman in my last 30 games. Feels pretty good!

My goal is rank 5 at the moment, and i really enjoy playing Miracle Rogue.
Current at rank 5 EU, dragon warrior got me down fast. Now I'm switching to maly rogue unless there are to many huntards.

This month is fucked. Too many shaman.
Hit Legend from rank 2 using same c'thun deck from last season without Harrison. 13-3 record.
