It's a grind I'm not putting myself through again... don't know if it's the same for everyone, but for me there are no double-stars for win streaks D5 and above, just one star up and one star down.

Tier 1 decks at that level have, I'd say, very close to 50% win rate (as everyone is playing T1 decks). Needless to say, these are all veteran players, with strong expensive wild decks - and they don't make silly mistakes. The usual - Secret Mage, Odd Demon Hunter, Discard Warlock, Pirate Warrior...

Let's say I manage to have 52% win rate. That means I would have to play 100 games to net 4 stars, or 400 games for 16 stars... no, thanks, I'll climb to D5 and take it easy for the rest of the month.

It is usually a lot faster, as you only need a good streak to get to legend. Not dropping below D5 also helps.

I am not sure if I have time for that push myself, though. My MMR at D4 seemed to have gotten into that level where every opponent is competent and I get beat even by off-meta decks. I would love to see their actual rank! The main difference is that they know what to expect from MY deck much better than the players I used to face.

can anyone give me a deckstring of spell druid?

I doubt he realized this was a Wild thread. The standard decks have no way of surviving the earlygame in Wild. For standard, you can try something like this:
### Spell Druid
# Class: Druid
# Format: Standard
# Year of the Phoenix
#
# 2x (0) Innervate
# 2x (1) Crystal Power
# 2x (1) Claw
# 2x (2) Wrath
# 2x (2) Rising Winds
# 2x (2) Power of the Wild
# 2x (2) Ironbark
# 2x (2) Fungal Fortunes
# 2x (3) Savage Roar
# 2x (3) Bogbeam
# 1x (4) Soul of the Forest
# 2x (4) Overgrowth
# 2x (5) Glowfly Swarm
# 2x (7) Overflow
# 2x (7) Exotic Mountseller
# 1x (9) Ysera, Unleashed

 thank you! :)

hmm so no legend with spell druid then in wild :) ill try it in standard then 

Who exactly hurt you that you go ballistic over a video-game? Chill-out mate and achieve something meaningful in life, like knowledge, or decency. Bye

Yesterday I did hit legend for the 3rd time. Usually I dont try to get above rank5/dia5 and using meme decks or low tier decks just for fun. First legend was years ago with FoN/Savage roar combo druid because I wanted the cardback. Second legend was in april (in standard) with resurrect priest because I wanted the random legendary and I wanted to punish demon hunters.

But yesterday was completely different. I didnt want to go for legend, I was just playing for fun. I wanted to play some games with even hunter. And I won, again and again. I climbed from dia5 to dia2 when I realized that I could easily reach legend with this winrate so I tried to push my luck. I dont track my winrate but I think I lost like 3-4 games from dia5 to legend.

Maybe I was lucky because my best matchup was odd DH and I have faced them a lot thanks to the Twin Slice "nerf". Dragonbane was MVP especially with Garrison Commander. My deck also had Professor Putricide and its not a key card but it was quite good. Pirate warrior was also a good matchup and once I almost screwed up because I forgot that they have a hero power LOL.

So if you face a lot of odd DHs I would recommend even hunter.

First time legend with:

### WB Legend 2 (v1.1)
# Class: Shaman
# Format: Wild
# Year of the Phoenix
#
# 2x (2) Ancestral Spirit
# 2x (2) Devolve
# 2x (2) Maelstrom Portal
# 1x (2) Reincarnate
# 2x (3) Far Sight
# 2x (3) Healing Rain
# 2x (3) Serpentshrine Portal
# 1x (3) Spirit Echo
# 2x (4) Ancestor's Call
# 1x (4) Torrent
# 1x (4) Vivid Spores
# 2x (5) Hagatha's Scheme
# 1x (5) Muckmorpher
# 2x (6) Eureka!
# 1x (8) The Lich King
# 2x (8) Walking Fountain
# 1x (10) Colossus of the Moon
# 2x (10) Scrapyard Colossus
# 1x (10) Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound

Big Spells Mage for Standard 
and Reno decks for Wild

Secret mage. 

Secret Mage gets me to Rank 3 at the start of each month.

Haven't cracked getting beyond that with it yet.

 Old school Secret Mage - easy legend. Every month..

 Used this deck to get easy legend this month with a 77% winrate with 26 games (20-6)

This weekend I havent played much on my account but I have helped a friend of mine who never got legend before. So I gave him my theorycrafted deck idea, and coached him to legend. We didnt use a deck tracker, but the winrate was about 70%+. Thats the deck:

My friend didnt have Loatheb so we used a 2. copy of Magic Carpet instead. The carpet was good, but IMO 1 is enough. Quest mages and even shamans were free wins, and the deck has a fair chance against anything.

Quote from mamadasisgood >>

nothing better than coaching a friend to go face, you are doings Gods work kappa

 My point was mainly about the deck, less so about coaching. BTW in a lower curve deck like this you have a lot more options, and sometimes its harder to find the optimal play compared to "play the board clear on curve" control decks. In aggro decks its much more important to be effective, and a single misplay could cost you the game.

If you think that mastering an aggro deck takes no skill thats your problem.

I'm using this Raza Priest deck since Scholomance expansion was released, and it's pretty OP.

I don't think I have Secret Passage

your is in need of one wave luck push

Currently playing my own deck. A reno mage with an OTK finish. This is a pretty solid deck.
Went 6w/1L today from rank gold 9 to rank platine 9***.

Wild only player here.
I use my own take on OTK Quest Mage.
Diamond 2 last season because I did not have enought time to the final push to the legend.
Lots of fun for me by burning opponents cards.
