I haven't played a single deck in 20-30 games that wasn't just a normal Standard deck being played in Wild... and at least 75% were bots.
I'm playing Wild because I have absolutely no interest in the ridiculous clown show of a set they just released... and it doesn't matter, because that's all the cards and decks I'm seeing in Wild right now.
... they need to make a playable version that specifically OMITS the current Standard block of cards - so folks will stop bringing those decks into Wild and ruining what little fun we can still have in this broken ass game.
When you climb some ranks and you MMR is not totally dogsh** anymore, you will see other decks than Standard and face other enemies than bots.
Most decks I see in Wild so far since Whizbang are still Even Shaman, Shudderwock Shaman, different kinds of Rogues (Kingsbane, Mine, Pirate), Quest Mage, Aggro Priest, Quest Warlock and Control Warrior. At the moment the Wild meta is pretty divers.
Me for myself got to Diamond 5 so far with Aggro Priest.
admitting to playing aggro ... man how times have changed, MF got a skipping stone as a brain.
Playing control doesn't making you smart, it means you play control.
Playing aggro doesn't make you stupid, it means you play aggro.
Sure control is harder to win with, but it's equally easy to press play with Highlander Warrior as it is with Pain Warlock, you will just win less with control if you are a worse player.
You are actually smarter if you identify you are stronger with an aggro deck, than if you think you are smart because you are playing control but just end up winning less.
And if you take Magic as example, playing aggro there is seen as a good thing, as it just makes for more exiting gameplay, which also comes from a difference in audience, HS is way more casual, while in Magic there is more experience, so people know the intricacies of spreading out threats, managing tempo, and knowing if you should play around removal or "make them have it"
The thing that signalizes intelligence most in my experience is knowing that both styles of play require skill, and that the only thing that maters for your skill level is your win rate and rating, the deck you play doesn't matter for your skill, control decks are only chosen by higher level players because they actually win more with them, compared to your average gold rank HS player who will be better of choosing an aggro deck.

standard decks are never ruining wild format.
I don't know what bronze rank you played in, but at D5 you stand absolutely zero chance of winning with a standard deck and trust me when I say no wild deck fun is ruined by weak standard decks.

It should be like casual where it automatically matches you against people using the same card format

The best part of this is OP wanted to get away from the “ridiculous clown show” in Standard. So they started playing WILD! I mean… LOL
