Our first month of Rastakhan's Rumble!

• 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?

Meme decks, all the way.

Hard to get past rank 2~1

Any deck that runs skulking geist!

Reached rank 5 today, with Shudder, from rank 9, in 4 hours. Now taking a break until Rastakhan release so I can try out meme decks for the rest of the month :D and see if I can reach legend. Not gonna push for it tho, I just want to enjoy the meta shaking up a bit (hopefully) and have fun.

Exactly 1 week after the expansion hit I got Legend this month (which is the earliest I ever made it). Aggro Overload Shaman got me from Rank 4 to 1. Mind Blast Priest took care of the last 4 stars. Both decks do really well against Hunter. 

Switched decks because of a lot of Odd Paladins at Rank 1, which is a hard match-up for the Shaman (not unwinnable though).

Facing so many "fun and interactive" combo decks like Paladin, Shudderwock and Kingsbane and hardly any Aggro so I've been climbing with Mecha'thun Priest: 

I know it's often considered a "core card" but Acolyte of Pain felt like the weakest card in the deck by far. Instead I'm trying out Omega Medic as an early board presence (Northshire CoH still lets this draw) and it feels stronger against bottom deck Hemet. Mass Hysteria is a strong card, but I can't find myself needing more then one.

71% Winrate for now, only losing to Kingsbane that get very strong openers or run Mojomaster Zihi for some reason.

Managed to hit Legend for the 3rd time with Secret Hunter this month and boy was it fun! I ran a single copy of Stitched Tracker for an increased chance of finding Subject 9, which I think is crucial for cycling and exerting pressure. I also ran Professor Putricide for fun at first, but soon realized that it's actually pretty effective. I love the concept of secrets, so I had a blast climbing. 

Rank1-Legend took me a while because I kept running into Odd Paladin as my final bosses, but finally managed to beat a Quest Warrior on my 5th try after an epic game. Time to play some Discolock in dumpster Legend ranks!

Hi, I never climb to legend, the better rang that I have are 3, and just now that begin the new set it's been more difficult to me to climb

Finally hit Legend for the 2nd time today with Odd Rogue.  I fed on Odd Paladin this time around.   

For anyone who wants to try it I used Muzzy's list from Esports Superstars.  I was using my own list up to Rank 2 but struggled a bit.  I found Muzzy's list to be much better against the Odd paladin match up.

Fuck this game,its  just impossible to win some games

 You win 33% of your games and you lose 33% of your games. The remaining 33% depends on your skill level.

Currently sitting at rank 2 with Taunt Druid but going to wait a few days to see what happens after the nerfs...

After starting to play in March and being on the hunt (quite literally) for Legend the past 3 months, I finally made it today in a breeze with secret hunter. After the nerfs yesterday I started out with this deck somewhere around rank 3 and made it in 15-4. Very proud :)

Finally climbing again with BSM: 

Thinking about putting in Chief Inspector due to the common match-up of Hunter. Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk is amazing :)

Finally made it this month with my "new" Even Shaman. The deck really shines now that Druid is dead, and Bright-Eyed Scout is surprising good (especially vs. Hunters.)  And who would have thought the Belligerent Gnome would find a home? But he's quite good as a body to be beefed up by a totem or a wolf. 

First time double legend, yay. After I spend most time with climbing to wild legend I went from Rank 4 to legend in standard with the good ol' cubelock - 26-10 stats. I know it is nothing spectacular, but I am still really happy with the double legend.
As I don't own Godfrey I replaced him with a shadowflame.

Hit legend for the first time today!!! I finished the climb with Midrange Hunter. Went on a 7 game streak from rank 2, 3 stars and then 3-2 to get that last star. Had an epic battle with a legend rank Even Shaman which got me down to 3 health before I managed to clear his board and get some big lifesteal beasts down to draw out the game until I got both of my Kill Commands to burn them down. Odd pally got me to 1 pre-nerf and then bounced around between 1 & 2 using Clone Priest and Exodia Paladin before I made the switch.

really struggling to make any progress at rank 5.  odd warrior and otk paladin (no shiva) are both around 15% wr for me.  anything that's not aggro or hunter that has a chance?

Just made it to legend for the first time today! I went from rank 4 to legend playing the Even Paladin list below. I managed to go 21-3 (screenshot from the Arcane Tracker app attached). I've never had a streak like that before! Definitely some great luck with early Corpsetaker + Blessing of Kings combos.

The worst match up I had was against control priests.

Me too.  It was Maly Gonk druid and Evolve shaman for me.  Both standard, one on a friend's account.  My friend didn't get anything worthwhile but holy shit was I rewarded well this time around!
