Our second month of The Boomsday Project!

• 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?

Lemonade cardback is a little too bright in-game? 

Running a slightly altered version of Kibler's control paladin and I'm feeling dedicated enough to grind with it.

 I feel depressed 

Odd rogue all the way

Last season i stuck in rank 1 with Zoolock/Spell Hunter, now il try probably deathrittle hunter or token druid. The bad rng on rhok' delar and rexxar was triggering me, and i think that the tier 1 factor will help me a lot to reach legend (sorry for the english)

What are you planning on playing this season?
A: Wizzbang - Golden Wizzbang

How is that grind going?
A: How do you think?  I'm playing Wizzbang - it's like having 18 decks they said, yeah right.  I haven't felt this disappointed since Prince Malchezaar - five free legendaries in your deck, what could possibly go wrong?.

What decks are you finding to be problematic and what solutions are you looking at?
A: I find Wizzbang to be problematic because it has some terrible decks that keep popping up.  I am looking at just switching to Control Warlock.

Going to grind mostly with a secret hunter deck with subject 9 that is super unique and well positioned in the meta. I had a 60% winrate around rank 5-2. It doesnt run the early game minions and opts for two stitched tracker and a bunch of situational cards that you need in different matchups. Ooze for weapons. Mossy for clear. Lich king and ysera for value. Subject 9 for all the secrets. And giggling inventor for annoying taunts. Couldnt hit legend last season as I didnt start grinding til last days of expanson but I believe in myself this time around! Made it to rank 2 2 stars

Gonna focus on grinding to Legend with a mix of Odd Rogue and Odd Warrior this season. Managed to get up to Rank 11 from Rank 25 in about a week and a few games a day so a whole month should be able to get me to Legend for the first time. I am facing problems with druid decks like Maly, Taunt and Toggwaggle though and I have yet to find a solution/counter for those decks.

I'll be sticking to fast decks, at least early on in the season. Tempo Mage and odd Rogue.

Gunning hard for Legend this time.

"Rexxar hunts alone" my choice for this season, and yours?

I will craft cubelock again (damn nerfs) and go crush some combo decks. If I face too many aggro players, big spell mage is still there as a back up. 

Whizbang the Wonderful is my choise for this Season. Wish me Luck ^_^

I'm sticking with Rexxar again this month.

 Sounds like a fun deck. Do you have a deck list?

In my experience, there's little a Malygos Druid can do to an Odd Warrior, unless they also run the Togwaggle/Azalina combo. It's quite easy to stay out of range of a Maly OTK turn. Last time I played one, I finished the game with 15hp and 68 armor.

If you expect they have Togwaggle and Azalina as well, your only chance is dropping your own Azalina (if you run it) on the turn after they play the Dreampetal Florist.

I’ve been playing with Kibler’s Elemental Mage deck, gone from rank 5 one star too rank 2 three star 21/4, feelsgoodman

 As a Maly Druid I had this problem when Odd Warrior started becoming popular, exactly as you said, even if I executed the combo perfectly (Twig+discounted Maly+Floop f.e.) there wasn't enough damage for an OTK...

The key to beating them is that Odd Warrior can do pretty much nothing but gain armor for most of the early and mid game, and they want to save all of their limited removal tools for the big threats at the end game, so if you become a nuisance they won't be able to stack quite so much armor. Essentially you play for tempo rather than value: Throw down your Mind Control Tech on turn 3, you'll be surprised how many turns it'll survive, essentially bringing armor gain to 0. You got Twig ready to pop? Rather than having them draw their ooze and kill it while you wait for your combo pieces, just have a monster 20 mana turn (Ultimate Infestation + emptying your hand for example).

Still an unfavorable matchup, don't get me wrong, but I've gotten a few wins this way.

Job and other activities prevent me from going Legend each month but this month I'm gonna go for it again as it seems to be a calm month at work and I'm already one star from rank 3.

Alternating with some decks but mainly playing Token Druid & Elemental Handmage. I really love the Mage deck but it has a really hard time against aggro decks & Shudderwock Shaman. I turn to Token Druid when I face those a bit too much.

I'm at rank 11 currently, and I've been using big spell mage, and it has been working a lot. My goal is rank 5, but if I make legend, it'll he my first time.
