As many people said before me, you need to know your deck very well AND you also need to know your opponent's deck (if you manage to get to diamond/legend you can easily notice that you're going to fight against 4/5 classes with almost no surprise at all). That said, this month I hit legend with totem shaman, a deck very fun to play with and also not so usual in diamond/legend, so it's easy to puzzle the opponent (because he's expecting an evolve shaman, I guess).
Anyway, here's my deck, a quite classic totem shaman
### Shaman - Totem 2 # Class: Shaman # Format: Standard # Year of the Phoenix # # 2x (0) Lightning Bloom # 2x (0) Totemic Might # 2x (0) Totemic Surge # 2x (1) Storm's Wrath # 2x (1) Surging Tempest # 2x (1) Tour Guide # 2x (2) Cagematch Custodian # 2x (2) EVIL Totem # 1x (3) Grand Totem Eys'or # 2x (3) Mana Tide Totem # 2x (3) Totemic Reflection # 2x (3) Whack-A-Gnoll Hammer # 2x (4) Splitting Axe # 2x (5) Bloodlust # 1x (5) Inara Stormcrash # 2x (5) Totem Goliath # AAECAaoIAq7eA9/hAw6BBL4GkwmdowPapQP5pQO1rQO2rQOWuQObzQOm0QPw1AOq3gOr3gMA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone # Generated by HDT - https://hsreplay.net
I didn't really read what other people said, cuz from skimming their comments didn't look very helpful.
If you got to diamond 1, you're basically legend already. Diamond 5 to 1 is the hardest part of the whole ladder process. Once you hit legend, everyone is playing meme decks and trash.
dia 5-1 is the hardest part. The last little bit is going from dia 1 with 3 stars, and getting that last win into legend. But it isn't any harder to get that last win into legend, than it is to get from dia 2 to dia 1.
And it's true. You DO get screwed sometimes. Your deck gets hard countered, or you get horrible draw after horrible draw, and then your opponents get high roll after high roll after high roll. It's really fking annoying.
All you can do, is dedicate that time and grind it hard knowing that you're already a legend level player. If you got to dia 1 you're legend level already. It's just a matter of grinding out those last few wins. And knowing that it's not due to lack of skill cuz your skill is already there. It's more about perseverance for those last few stars. Those will break you because it makes you believe you aren't good enough.

Consider playing Wild, aggro decks where games are decided very early. Quick ranking and less waste of time if there is a loss.
Dude just play some degenerate crap deck like Token Drood, Secret Mage or Gahun Priest.
