I'll be tryharding this season. Still don't know what I'll run. My custom rogue deck has been modified enough that I have close to a 70% win rate, though it gets dumpstered by aggro. That's at rank 8-10 though, and running the T1 decks are much easier and safer.
Not sure which deck to run; Druid seems solid but maybe suffers to aggro in the early part of the season, Zoo should be solid, Secretdin still probably is the best chance but is boring, and I'm probably best at Patron but I think its the weakest of the 4 tier 1 decks.
Got legend twice so far, second time was fairly easy actually. Going to aim for top 100 legend this season and play some interesting decks along the way to help me. Good luck to all and lets make the push together :)
I never tried to seriously climb the ladder. Last month I got to rank 11 the first day, so I thought, hey, maybe it's the right time, I could try to climb to rank 8-7, or maybe 5; but it was hopeless: I was jumping from 10 to 12, back and forth, for the next 3 weeks (I couldn't play last week). So this season I'm going to relax a bit and have fun with gimmick decks (Inner Fire, Token Paladin, maybe Pirate Rogue) and practicing with Oil Rogue. I'd be happy if I can reach Rank 10 again, but no stress to get any further.
I will set a goal for you and follow your progress in this thread.
This season you will reach rank 5.
Fuck the gimmicks. Learn Zoo. Watch Tylerrootd, imo one of the best Zoo players (always plays like top 100 legend with Zoo).
I've been legend once, so I'm only gonna climb until rank 5, and get my Golden Guldan (Only missing 97 wins). If I reach rank 5 early in the month I'm gonna try to get legend.
LAST MONTH UNTIL STANDARD ARRIVES!!!

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
I will try to ladder with Face Hunter/ Tyler´s zoo and then probably try Dragon Priest (from rank 5 onwards)
I think Dragon Priest sucks balls from 5 to Legend tbh.
1. Secret Paladin is not that favorable that one could hope. There is just too little AoE in Dragon Priest and with all the stickies Secret Paladins have it's not easy to get the board.
2. One of the few builds Zoo can actually win against because again too little AoE.
3. Control Priest is going to be tough as well.
4. Renolocks
I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I found Dragon Priest be a bit too slow and had too many bad matchups. Personally I love Dragon Priest with Brann and was hoping to smash my way up from rank 5 but again and again I just got smacked down (season 23) so last season I just played Zoo and Control Priest and reached my first Legend.

Dragon Priest is one of the counters to Control Priest, but otherwise I agree with your observations.
Dragon priest counters control priest? Actually this is the other way around. Control priest has so many ways to clear the board and after that, the dragon priest stands no chance.
Dragon priest is generally good against agressive decks, but is nowhere near a top deck. I started the season with it, but do not expect to go very far with it. The funny thing was that I'm 2-1 so far, I lost to a balanced druid start and beat a Reno and Control Warrior where I expected clearly my opponent to be in favour. I got lucky.

I've exclusively played Dragon Priest the last 3 months on ladder and beaten many control priests... if your opening is aggresive enough and don't allow them to build their board it's gg since nor lightbomb not holy nova will make them come back vs your high HP minions.
Do you track your stats? Would be curious about the winrate.
Gonna try to reach legend with Patron Warrior this season. Second deck I try to master while it still exists. Not really having much experience with Patron went 10-2 with it yesterday reaching rank 10 in couple of hours.
Gonna stay focused this season and play more ranked than arena, I managed to pull Legend last season but it was too late to have any fun there. Good luck to everyone else, I'll probably climb exclusively with Mage because it'll be my next golden hero.

I guess it's more even than I think maybe. It probably depends if the Dragon priest list runs 1 or 2 Velen's Chosen. This is the key card in the match up.
I don't know. I ran a similar deck. Didn't go with Dark Cultist but instead the Blackwing Technician because of the possible Brann synergy.
I think one Velen's Chosen in the mirror matchup is too weak.
Dark Cultist and one Velen's Chosen makes this list even weaker to turn 4 board clear vs Control Priest.
But I mean, sure. It's not like I steamrolled Dragon Priest players with my Control priest. I had like a 55% win rate and the sample size wasn't that big because of not running into Dragon Priest that often.
First time Legend last month! Going to work on golden Pally and Druid before standard hits and prep for a Tavern Hero event in the middle of the month. Will definitely push for rank 5 again for shiny rewards but that's about it. Gl to all!
Let's go for it again!
Legend Player Every Season

Not sure which deck to run; Druid seems solid but maybe suffers to aggro in the early part of the season, Zoo should be solid, Secretdin still probably is the best chance but is boring, and I'm probably best at Patron but I think its the weakest of the 4 tier 1 decks.
I am going to try hard this season after getting so close last season(rank 1, 3 stars)
Please Lord let the RNG be on my side!
Got legend twice so far, second time was fairly easy actually. Going to aim for top 100 legend this season and play some interesting decks along the way to help me. Good luck to all and lets make the push together :)
9x Legend | S18,S24,S25,S28,S30,S32,S34,S38,S39 |
I'm starting with dragon priest and see how it goes. Last two seasons were mainly Tempo mage, I would love some fresh decks.
rank 5, arena and daily 100 gold yummy - legend bonus @@
BBQ an egg?
I'm just here for the lulz.
I got my legend card back so I will chillout, play arena and observe the legend race.
To all of you going for it: good luck and may you crush secret paladins one last time before the new xpack.
I've been legend once, so I'm only gonna climb until rank 5, and get my Golden Guldan (Only missing 97 wins). If I reach rank 5 early in the month I'm gonna try to get legend.

Easiest few days for Control Priest on ladder.

I wish Valeera had tentacles for arms
First I'm going to play zoo till rank 10, then I would play Reno Mage which worked great at the end of the last season to rank 5.
Then I will see how much time I have to try to get Legend.
Check my deck with guide.

I'll keep playing Control Warrior 'till the new expansion arrives
on the dragon priest note , if you are not in a hurry, i have been doing fairly good with this list:
