I also find wild to be better but lately there have been a lot of secret plaadins which is really the only cancer deck in wild that I hate with a passion. Hopefully it was just an anomaly and today and going forward I'll see more variety like I was used to seeing in wild.
I must say that standard mode has been better since I've switched to a midrange shaman deck. It's pretty strong and deals well with the very predicable meta. Standard mode is all about stupid warriors, shamans and zoo. That's 90% of the meta at ANY rank in standard and it does get boring. Hunters are in the mix too and have the same exact deck over and over. Quite dull.
I win due to skill and lose due to bad RNG. :D
In Wild I stay on even lower ranks so I have relatively little knowledge about the meta there (partially because of the lack of it), but whatever happens in Standard, happens a few (= sometimes even 10) ranks higher in Wild, except for budget decks, which are kind of skipped.
I played a good priest deck for the first time in months. I'm never going back to Standard Anduin, I'll never betray you again. ;_;
I gotta say... Wild surpassed my expectations! All sorts of silly and fun decks in higher ranks... then I play r5 to legend and still saw hugely diverse meta. In my 57 games I saw: zoo, renolock, tempo mage, freeze mage, casino mage, control warrior, patron, pirate warrior, miracle rogue, mill rogue, aggro shaman, n'zoth priest, secret pally, control pally, dragon priest, and midrange hunter.
Was really fun playing against so many archtypes... <3 wild. Or I can just play against dragon warrior and aggro shaman 70% of the time in STD.
Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
In my experience, the match-up is just solidly favored for secret pally, but definitely not landslide (maybe 60:40?). All decks have good and bad match ups! Having good RNG with your anti-secret cards helps, as does being very thoughtful about when you unleash the hounds (really helps punish muster and other early board flood). Learning the match-up and figuring out when you need to go all out face vs try to control board is also key... but of course you know this. Sometimes hunter just gets there with face damage even vs broken curve of secret pally.
If you want to crush secret pally, play aggro shaman or freeze mage. Those were the only two decks in the meta my secret pally had a losing record to... they really dominate the deck in my small sample of games.
I'll have to try Wild just because of this quote.
First Deck : Divine Shield Aggro Paladin
Favorite Deck : Mid-range Hunter
dont u miss old sludge belcher and boom mad scientist and creepy challanger also thats why i am playing grim patron (nobody cares but its a lot of fun)
There are nearly no secret paladins there: simply because Priest is alive in wild and eats secret paladin as a small snack; thanks to Dr. Lightbomb
Wild rank 20 is dreadful. Either they play the OP netdecks of before or they concede at the very start of the match (wtf is up with that? happened three times in a row now)
Tried Standard, lost to trogg+coin+trogg > totem golem > totem golem > tuskarr into totem golem.
Nope. No way am I going back to that fuckfest.
I definitely agree with you that there's more room for creative decks in wild that people experiment with, but that's not really going to stop all the "cancer" decks of old like secret paladin (although I guess there's secret eater now? I don't know if those decks are a thing in wild). And let us never forget Dr. Balanced, the paragon of balanced card design.
Play wild they said, Itd be fresh and fun they said.
Playing against Secret Paladin, Face Hunter and Mech mage (with no changes since WoG) is not fun. That's a good 50% of the Meta. Another 30% of the Meta is deck Copy+Pasted from Standard; Aggro Shaman, Dragon Warrior (why?), C'thun Warrior. That only leaves 20% odd for actually interesting decks. And while I am happy to see priest actually seeing playing the constant surge of Secret Pallys and Mech mages just grind me down.
