I was thinking in the meta. So, for that Hearthstone players that have a lot of time playing, can you say to me the most horrible meta moments in Hearthstone?
What I'm asking for? I'm asking for the most cancerous decks in all Hearthstone history (like secret Paladin, for example) and how did you tried to counter those decks.

Ahh yes, we've been expecting you. You'll have to be recorded before you're officially released. There are a few ways we can do this, and the choice is yours. See my submission to the WCDC hereand upvote if you like it. WCDC 8.3
This basically will set your age in Hearthstone. The folks of closed beta will have talk of metas that make everything we see look like first world problems (But everything here is a first world *WHAP!*).
If you've been around for about as long as I have, then it'll be the Post-Naxx era. NOTHING past release outranks seeing a 5/6, a 4/5, and a mass of cheap deathrattle cards that resists board clears by turn 4, done as often as a typical zoo deck..AND knowing that if you killed it all the deck still has plenty of juice left since all they really did was play on curve since it's a Tempo deck and a mass of burst since it's on Hunter.
and remember, mad scientist, haunted creeper, and no healbot.
If you weren't around for all of that or were a newbie and thus didn't really get to experience it properly, then Patron is probably your big issue. If you came in after or right before TGT then you mostly got slammed by secret paladin and thus hate that the most. The folks who suffered to patron at the upper levels would disagree. I know I preferred secret paladin to UT hunter by MILES but again if you didn't see those then Secret is The Thing.
Guessing dragon warrior would be the mark of the post-standard generation.
Undertaker was the most op card in hearthstone history. This shit was not funny. The game was litteraly decided who had the better curve after dropping the card.
The most boring meta was in the last weeks of open beta, the ladder was 80% miracoli rank 10 upwards.
The best meta was patron warrior pre warsong nerf, because it was the deck with highest skill cap until now and it held the cancer like christmastree paladin, face hunter and otheer decks at check. With this control decks like handlock, priest and control warrior could be played again. It was the best meta Hearthstone had until now IMO
Undertaker Zoo/Hunter imo. Played since open access and therefore were around while Miracle Rogue was in its prime, but never considered it to be as annoying as the aforementioned too.
i really didnt care much about when i faced sevret paladins or face hunters i was always up to challenge with a deck of mine against a meta deck but i hated playing freeze mage and facing a warrior each time...

Well, I got invited to the hearthstone beta in Aug 2013, but I didn't buy my first card packs till Feb 2014, so I think I missed a lot of things like Mind Control for 8. That or I just don't remember. Two years is a long time to remember all the iterations this game has gone through.
I think maybe the most unhealthy time for WoW was during the Grim Patron + Warsong Commander + Frothing Berserker phase. Unlike the current 4-5 card 30-40 damage combo that warriors can pull off using Emperor + Inner Rage + Charge + Worgen + Rampage, this one only required 3 cards, 2 cards at a minimum (you could skip the berserker sometimes and just work with patrons if the board allowed it). Sure cards like Whirlwind and Inner Rage -helped- Grim Patron, but they weren't required, because you could trigger Grim Patron off of enemy minions. It was actually a punishment for the enemy to run anything, especially with Frothing.
Undertaker I compare to Councilman. Council comes out a turn or two later (depending on coin), but with 5 starting health, and ability to be ramped up very easily (because it triggers off summons, not just plays), it's very similar.
grim patron pre warsong was bad, but it wasn't terrible due to its high skill cap. The current meta is frustratingly bad, but the worst would be undertaker, or the early beast hunter who used unleash the hounds for very early kills. That was awful
Let us not forget the very fun and interactive beta freeze mage with 2 mana frost nova, 3 mana cone of cold, 5 mana blizzard, and the infamous 8 mana pyroblast. With the lack of healing back then, turn 8 was gg in many games.
The day they created Yogg Saron and felt that a whole game could be determined by a huge RNG and it was ok... Can't wait to see WOTOG rotating out of Standard

I usually am playing those cancer decks. It's funny to see a Freeze Mage struggle to survive while I double Call of the Wild. lul
The old Patron Warrior before the commander nerf.
Battlecry: Give the OP two Bananas
Deathrattle: Replace the OP with Ragnaros the Firelord
By far Undertaker Hunter
that was the most ridiculous curve in the game. The only thing that comes close imo is old patron
My soul is painted like the wings on butterflies, the fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly, my friends.
I didn't play Undertaker before nerf, neither Miracle Rogue. I started in June 2015 so, for me old patron was the most annoying thing ever.

I say priest this meta. Anybody with a idea how to play against that?

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

Patron Warrior before Warsong Commander nerf.
Deathrattle Hunter before Undertaker nerf.
Those decks made Secret Pally look like a walk in the park.
Nature is the Day.
Man is the Sun.
Woman is the Moon.
The Stone is the Sky.
The Art is the Way.
Maybe not as strong as the decks mentioned above but the one that pissed me most was the face hunter.
Undertaker Zoo/Hunter imo. Played since open access and therefore were around while Miracle Rogue was in its prime, but never considered it to be as annoying as the aforementioned too.
