Pirate warrior - with which I made legend last month with 20-4 fm d5 no stars. No special techs (netdecked it from a wild streamer, but used Finley instead of kragg). It beats those decks well (secret mage was an easier matchup than big priest) except raza maybe, had one match vs it after tiller nerf, sorry, the standard nerf to hysteria. Hell, totem shaman gave more a fight than those decks.
Also had pretty good results with reno quest mage vs these decks, but I don't have enough spread with it to say it's good enough, but at least it's way more fun.
And... you can always surprise everyone with Even DH ;p
Yeah basicly what Papros77 wrote. Im at Diamond 3 and all i meet is mage and rogue...im playing odd shaman.
I hate face so many mages....the ne secret Rigged Faire Game is absolutely broken in wild. Without that card secret mage would be so much weaker.
They just empty their hand, which means you need to go for their board else its gg...but if you go for board you trigger the secret and they draw and its gg...so frustrating.
My God, that Odd Rogue is crazy. I'm 14-0,from bronze 5 to diamond 9 with no losses 🤯. Maybe I would consider removing Loatheb (used it only once) for a Captain Greenskin or even better, Dr. Krastinov
Personally, I find Kingsbane rogue to be completely unbeatable by any of the popular decks. However, it does require one tech card, and it's the simplest thing in the world, but it's the difference maker against so many aggro matchups.
Remember when Leeching Poison was in all kingsbane rogues? And they had that nerf? Turns out, one leeching poison today is just the extra one turn of life you need to go the distance.
I know it sounds janky, but the only aggro deck that gives me issues is Odd Paladin. Because of Quartermaster, it often gets enough taunts up to stall the weapon swings. But Odd Paladin has become weirdly less popular than Odd Rogue and Secret Mage (which makes no sense to me, but que sera). I suppose Odd Paladin has a worse matchup against Reno Priest, but whatever it is, it's good news for Kingsbane.
EDIT: One leeching poison is often all it takes to outlast Anduin turns as well, though try to hold it for as long as possible so you'll know whether you need to get thru the Reno or not. Half the time, the way to beat Anduin is to cheese them, holding multiple eviscerate, nitro, deadly, southsea deckhand.
2nd EDIT: And yes, just like Jade Druids of old and their alpha predator, Skulking Geist, you will occasionally find an opponent running Kobold Stickyfinger in wild. Just smile and move on to the next game.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
I guess I may have been on a streak earlier. I had a very high win rate across 80 games or so, but today, things have not been going as well with Kingsbane rogue. I have run into a larger amount of Odd Paladin, though, so that may account for it.

I got there super fast with odd rogue. Quick games and seems more consistent than other aggro decks like Druid and pirates. Nitro boost poison just made it that much better... same goes for kingsbane
So made it to Diamond 5 again already 2 days into the new month.
However getting to Legend is going to be a grind...what's the current best deck for that?
Mage?
Hi, yes, as per meta snapshot :
1. Secret Mage
2. Darkglare Warlock
3. Odd Rogue
4. Reno Priest
5. Kingsbane Rogue
I can personally recommend

A counter secret mage deck is necessary.

Currently can’t win a game with any deck, guess the algorithm is trying to get me to get more cards...
I'm sure that's it.

I stopped to legend from never playing the format before last month with 7star bonus with odd pally.

I hate this game worked up to Rank 2 by last night, today bounced back to Rank 5. F***
Which Odd rogue deck?
click on a link I have posted there
This is an interesting deck to play...back up to Rank 3.
Fun as well with the chance element of choosing a Mage spell...
Some struggles against Secret mage though and no good against Big Priest
2105h Just lost 4 in a row
L,L,L,L,W,L,L,W,W,L
Still bouncing between Rank 3-5 each day...
