IMO PW was easily the most powerful, easiest and efficient deck ever. If you start second sometimes you get to play 3 turns (which is just ridiculous) b/c you know - they had lethal on t4. You could literally become legend on your phone in the toilet with this deck. Next one should be quest rogue. If I recall correctly the month they released UG the legend pool was ~30k players.
Are you saying that people’s hardware and whereabouts should play a role on their ranks? Now that’s a peculiar point of view.
People forget so fast...before jade druid was nerfed no one even talked about raza priest. But anyway pirate warrior is the clear winner, the other 3 do not come even close to that.
Pirate Warrior started being countered and contained since Ungoro, that is since April. Still strong now, but not oppressing anymore.
Pre-nerf Quest Rogue was boring as an opponent, but it was meta-breaking for very few weeks, t3 soon after, and then obliterated from the meta with nerf, which happened quite quickly during the year.
Highlander Priest is powerful and boring to play against, but it started being t1 only after DK, that is summer.
Even if it started being a thing only after the release of Obsidian, in summer, as an opponent, nothing makes me cringe more than highroll Big Priest, which is not in the list.
As a Druid player, I hate Jades (as repeated elsewhere, and collected some backlash hate in return...). Not only as an opponent (generally not an unfavoured matchup to my decks). My hate is due to awful flavour in Druid, and because it is technically oppressing the whole Ramp Druid design and deckbuilding. And Jades are there since 2016, and i am sad everytime i see those silly statues on the Druid side of the board.
TL;DR: Priest is increasingly annoying as an opponent, but because i like and play Druid much more than Priest, i voted Jade Druid.
I would say Keleseth rogue, but in reality it is a pretty legit deck. Unless they get lucky and draw Kele on 2, then Shadowstep him, which is silly, yeah.
2)You dont feel cheated out of an win like all the other decks on the pull you knew the deck was good tend to be consistent.
3)Beating an PW weirdly felt satisfying. Killing them wile on 1-3 hp i would just imagen the despair on their faces as i slowly kill them or those games were on still on full hp after 5 turns.
4)Or wile reno was out being an step from being dead playing reno and then winning on the spot.
5)Oozing an big weapon that they spend cards to upgrade or making an wall of taunts that they cant get though.
6)finally beating an PW after loosing to an few.
7)at least most PW didnt rope me like the raza priests.
8)nut draw PW doesnt feel that bad to lose to than an nut draw raza priest and their t4 kazakus, t5 raza t6 Dragonfire posion (if you have minions) t7 other new board clear shuffling junk back t8 Dk kill more minion and t10 kill me with velen especially since they only have 1 of each card making me feel extra bad and angry to lose to those draws.
I didn't mind pirate warrior so much because when you did beat them legitimately with tech cards, it felt really good. With decks like exodia mage, you can only beat them if you get lucky with RNG tech cards like dirty rat or if they somehow don't draw antonidas. People like to bring up their VS win rate a lot and say it's not actually good, but they never consider the fact that most of the people playing the decks are morons. I definitely do not win against quest mage at rank 5+ as often as the VS winrate would suggest I should.
With jades, even if you tech in a geist usually their jades are so big with other cards it doesn't really matter. Pre-nerf quest mage was also something that was very difficult to effectively tech against.
There were tears over Quest Rogue for 1 expansion, Un'goro, and it didn't even survive the full expansion.
People have cried over Razakus for 1 expansion and a bit, KoFT and the first few weeks of KaC.
Complaints against Pirate Warrior were for 2 expansions, Gadgetzan and Un'goro, it did exist in Old Gods but wasn't as strong. Was castrated in KoFT.
I think the crown goes to Jade Druid. They've been the hot topic of this board and many others all throughout Gadgetzan, Un'goro and KoFT. It has gone a bit quiet since KaC but it's still a very good deck.

Are you saying that people’s hardware and whereabouts should play a role on their ranks? Now that’s a peculiar point of view.
Yes, I said exactly that. Don't you think it is a valid point?
Why is Pirate Warrior up there? At least when you lose to aggro decks, you havent lost 15 minutes of your time TRYING. You waste 2 minutes and on to the next game.
Void Lord is annoying. Not just for aggro decks. Any deck that relies on board presence is fucked, not to mention the pretty much infinite value of Cube/Umbra/Guldan/Nzoth. Its just silly.
Also, decks that you have no say whatsoever on the outcome, and its pretty much just "solitaire". Like all "Exodia" decks, OTK decks, and lets be honest, Razakus and Caverns too. Jade Idol (prior to Geist) was hands-down the most cancer card.

Indeed, I don’t. My brain can process Hearthstone decisions well enough independent of screen sizeand I can play without aids such as deck trackers. Btw, the game isn’t that difficult to capture once you know most of the cards.
As for the toilet, mine is quite comfortable, no wooden splinters sticking out or something.

You must have an amazing brain. Remembering all the cards - impressive! GL on your comfortable toilet.

Thanks, that’s very kind of you. unfortunately exceptional memory disorders are not fun, and often lead to suicides. You really don’t want to recall everything you read/see or remember every single traumatic experience of your life.
But let’s keep things positive. I agree that PW is indeed the most efficient deck. Have you ever tried it while skipping your mulligan; You still have a good chance. It is/was so incredibly consistent.
And a happy new year to you!

I think big priest is ridiculous enough to warrant a spot on the poll
Thinking of it a bit,
Pirate Warrior started being countered and contained since Ungoro, that is since April. Still strong now, but not oppressing anymore.
Pre-nerf Quest Rogue was boring as an opponent, but it was meta-breaking for very few weeks, t3 soon after, and then obliterated from the meta with nerf, which happened quite quickly during the year.
Highlander Priest is powerful and boring to play against, but it started being t1 only after DK, that is summer.

Big Priest or any Keleseth Decks! They rely on drawing 1 single card to win the game and its GG
Jade Druid, prior to Geist.
Big Priest, because it's pretty stupid and lucky.
I would say Keleseth rogue, but in reality it is a pretty legit deck.
Unless they get lucky and draw Kele on 2, then Shadowstep him, which is silly, yeah.
Void Lord.
Where were those Priest haters when PW, QR and JD were ruining leader? :)
Where shall I start...
The cancer that brought pirate warrior is so huge that is surclassing by alot the stupidity of jades.
pirates should be obliterated to hell permanently.
Best quotes:
"Casual is perfectly fine"
"warlock is not overpowered"
"Playing odd paladin just to test it"

Least fun to play against Raza priest.
Most fun deck to win on the list PW.
Why you ask
1)games was fast
2)You dont feel cheated out of an win like all the other decks on the pull you knew the deck was good tend to be consistent.
3)Beating an PW weirdly felt satisfying. Killing them wile on 1-3 hp i would just imagen the despair on their faces as i slowly kill them or those games were on still on full hp after 5 turns.

Can we have Satellite Decks / Spiteful Summoner Decks here?
Why is Pirate Warrior up there?
At least when you lose to aggro decks, you havent lost 15 minutes of your time TRYING.
You waste 2 minutes and on to the next game.
Void Lord is annoying. Not just for aggro decks.

Its just silly.

Like all "Exodia" decks, OTK decks, and lets be honest, Razakus and Caverns too.
Jade Idol (prior to Geist) was hands-down the most cancer card.
Jade and cube BS
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
Most Hated Deck: Cubelock
I'm waiting a Nerf to this deck...
