I played Aggro Shaman from R5 to R1 (very strong days after nerf) and then Big Priest from there on a win streak to legend.

 

 Can you show your deck pls?

Icar1um, I just can't understand how big priest wins nzoth-reno-razakus priests and there still big troubles to beat pirate warriors. Some advices maybe?

Hit Legend yesterday night for my first time with Razakus Dragon Priest. Currently 146 EU. Also 16 wins away from getting golden Anduin :)

 What deck are you running please?

This season has been quite a complete disaster for me. Can't seem to move anywhere. I was rank 6 with 5 stars. Win streak all the way from rank 10. I lost one game and ever since then I've been going down all the time. Currently rank 10 yet again after an absolutely painful lose streak. I'm doing way better in Standard which seems way easier to climb at the moment with Hunter. Any tips for climbing? I've got no clue what to play as nothing seems to work.

First time legend in Wild with Big Priest! I am very excited and need to share it! I read these forums for encouragement and ideas constantly but rarely post. Thanks so much hearthpwn community! What a heart-pumping experience to finally make it!!

I bounced around at rank 4/5 for a long time this season where I faced a little bit of everything, but once I broke through to rank 3 the meta became more stable. Razakus priest was my most common matchup by far. Also saw a few shaman, aggro druids, renolock, reno mage, and tempo rogues sprinkled in the mix. Ended up playing against a lot of legend-ranked players during the climb from 3. I tried to take small breaks between matches to avoid going against the same opponent twice in a row.

I went on an absolutely absurd win streak and won 14 of my last 15 matches, cruising through rank 3 and 2 to enter legend at rank 94! It was incredible. I think my deck was right for the meta. I outvalued most priests (19W 8L) and controlled druids (13W, 4L) in the games I tracked. Those were my 2 most common matchups. I've always wondered if making legend was more about piloting a tier 1 deck skillfully or finding the deck that beats the most popular decks. I have to say it feels like the latter.

My final boss ended up being my easiest match of the climb. He made two pretty bad mistakes. He didn't play around Shadow Word: Horror and inexplicably put a Deathlord on the board. 

Sirmikon, gz! Show your deck please.

Trying to push to Legend with silverhand paladin but I have been stuck on rank 1 for week

Here's the deck i used to climb to legend.

 edit: I added some of my thoughts on the climb and matchups this season to the deck write-up.

Reached first time Legend with a recruit Paladin deck, didn't keep exact track of stats but it took me around 45 wins from rank 5. Meta is primarily Reno Priest with a couple of Big ones sprinkled in, a bit of Druid, Shaman and Rogue, other classes mostly nonexistant. Feels great to be finally rid of the burden, although I can already see the chest reward containing a mediocre epic, much like previous months but that's not too bad.
