Our third season of Standard for Knights of the Frozen Throne!

• What are you planning on playing this season?
• How is that grind going?
• What decks are you finding to be problematic and what solutions are you looking at?

Last season, I climbed ladder with a Murloc Paladin (before the nerfs hit). Now I'm thinking to either play one of these newer Hunter decks or possibly crafting Thrall, Deathseer for Evolve Shaman. Decisions, Decisions... 

Last season was a myriad of decks played to rank 11. But as i got to almost rank 10, aggro rogue showed up and pulled me down to rank 12. I'm now trying to find a viable deck for mage or paladin to climb with.

This season I'm going evolve shaman. It worked quite well last season XD

Something aggro as i always play midrange/ control decks. Kelly dropped for me the other day so i guess i can work him in?

Made it to R2 last season for the third time in a row, and no further...those last 8 or 9 stars are so elusive!

Starting again today with Tempo Rogue. Travelling later in the monh, so I only have the first couple of weeks.

Will still be trying to make Quest Warrior work... managed to reach rank 3 with it last season, but kinda couldn't go further. But as reward for rank 3 I got golden Murloc Warleader and dust adjustment still works so got extra 1600 dust for myself... Woo!

 I was thinking exactly this while opening my golden Sleep with the Fishes...

Someone out there must be opening a golden Murloc Warleader right now... Lucky bastard! lol

 

Since it seems DKs don't come out of packs for me (only got Valeera from prologue and Garrosh in like 120+ packs), I'll try Keleseth Zoo (without Gul'dan) and miracle rogue. And I will try some midrange pally with less reliance on Murloc package.

Hey guys,

I have reached several legends so far.

As one good general tip: 

Be completely focussed and do not tilt. Then make one long session from rank 5 or above.

also guys,

SmOrc warrior isnt dead, yaarrrr mateys, give it a try.

Last season was rough for me.  I generally make it around rank 4-5 every season but the best I could muster was rank 6 last season (and that was short lived).  I finished at rank 8.  The season started out (pre-nerf) with just TONS of different decks.  It felt like each rank was a "micro-meta" that you had to adjust for.  Took me forever to get to rank 10.  Then, once I finally made my way there, nerfs hit...and everything changed AGAIN.  Priest took over and all the decks I was having success with didn't match up well with the myriad of Priest decks that were out there.

Right now I'm climbing with a version of tempo Rogue.  I'm just hoping I have an easier time this season!

Got rank15-rank6 for one few hours game session today with Zoolock (25-7 stat). Going to try that further up to legend

Razakus to legend again, this month my goal is to beat last month's time.  

Maybe some Jade Druid just to finish up getting the golden Druid. 

Playing Hearthstone for nearly 3 years now and when I tried to reach rank 5 usually never had much problems. Never hit legend thus far as I didn't have the time for it or just didn't feel like grinding this much. Last month I hit rank 3 for the first time, 2 stars before rank 2, and I didn't even grind that hard. Would have gone for Legend, but again, I just didn't have enough free time. Would love to get that sweet legend rank plus cardback just once and maybe I'm going for it this month if I reach rank 5 soon enough. Wanna have at least 2 weeks for the grind to legend from rank 5 onwards.

I hope the Legend grind goes well for all of us!

Made  legend this season, made top 150 , then I played drunk and dropped to 500 , still not bad though, I uploaded the deck if anyone wants to copy it 

Hit Legend on Friday with Big Druid.

Didn't lose a single match from Rank 2 1 star all the way to Legend.

Just hit rank five for the first time, and i just learned that there's no winstreaks. I see why it is a 'grind' now. Winning like 25 games in a row is almost impossible, but it is so easy too lose like ten games in a row whether it be misplays or just plain getting unlucky.
