Well, what if they are just trying to crank out some quick wins for the dominance quests? 

 If everyone is playing the same decks as they do in ranked, then it takes just as long.

Spike-Scumming belongs in ranked

Sincerely, a Spike.

If you play a T1 or T2 deck in casual you're subhuman slime as far as I'm concerned.  Some of us want to goof around without running into a midrange hunter or Token druid for a change.

Some people are honestly really terrible at deck building. Being good at piloting decks, or understanding the obvious & subtle intricacies of various match-ups doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get good at deck building on your own. Net decking can help some of these players. Who am I to take up a beef with that?

Also, casual is a mode where people can play how they want to. I have no clue why a mode that is simply a non-ranked non-high reward mode is interpreted as being a mode where you are not supposed to play popular things. 

I prefer to netdeck and play casual. I netdeck because building decks is something I neither enjoy nor have time for. I play casual because I find it less stressful to not have an objective measurement of how much I suck at this game.

keep playing top tier netdecks in casual so you dont have to worry about losing your precoius hard earned rank 18. 

i would pay literally any amoutn of money to never face netdecks in casual.   you hear me b;lizzard? name your fucking price.  $1000?  done.

Eh, I like to goof around too, but I actually want you to challenge me so that I can make my meme deck better as opposed to facing a weak clown fiesta deck that just keels over even to my meme deck. Easy wins when you're playing a homebrew meme deck aren't fun imo.

To each their own I suppose.

If people netdeck in casual at least you get to try your weird concoctions vs the meta without losing rank.

You all play a free to enter, mobile optional, collectible card game, and you think that just because there is a ranked selection and a casual selection someone or something explicitly laid out the experience you will have/should expect in each mode? This is just pure ignorance if you are someone who curses, harasses, or puts down net-decking in casual. It is casual mode because it does not effect your current ranking...The fact it is called "Casual Mode" in no way insinuates that the experience you have is in fact the definition of "casual". It is gaming jargon for "You have nothing to gain or lose by coming here." WhY uSe CaSuAl As ThE nAmE tHeN?! Because its a 6 letter word that easily explains to virtually any age range that this zone is not tracked for any competitive purposes. Can you be competitive in this mode? YES. Does it matter if you are being competitive? NO. Do you have something to lose in ranked? YES. If you don't want to lose rank where do you go? CASUAL...WITH ANY DECK YOU PLEASE AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY BECAUSE THAT MODE IS DESIGNED TO NOT MATTER FOR TOURNAMENT, PROFESSIONAL, OR POINT/REWARD EARNING PURPOSES.

clearly there is a need for a non netdeck mode.

 It’s called Arena. Otherwise there is no way to create a constructed mode where the internet is unreachable. If Blizzard set up a protocol to read your deck and determine if it is within 5-10 cards of the most popular version you would just wait till enough people played this mode and netdeck their edited netdeck. It is an infinite iteration of deck-building until you literally have no other permutations but to put two chickens in your deck to top it off...

 Nice idea, but exactly how would Blizzard distinguish between a netdeck and a not-deck?

Quote from Kraetor >>

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think netdecks belong ANYWHERE. Ranked or Casual. The fun in card games is putting together your own decks and coming up with formulas, and MAYBE sharing them with a few people, friends and such. But I HATE getting thwomped over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over by the SAME EXACT DECK.

Now, that being said, if people legitimately figured out meta decks based off of other peoples decks, I'd be fine with that. But I know that these people aren't homebrewing their decks, they're going to sites like this one and such and searching for "TOP 500 LEGEND SPITEFUL PRIEST 99% WIN RATE" decks instead of developing their own strategy.

And I'm not accusing everyone of netdecking, but people who do are netdecking aren't playing the game. They don't take time to learn how to build decks, they just copy someone else's formula. Where's the fun in that? I mean, I get the satisfaction of winning over and over again, but wouldn't the satisfaction be better if you won with your OWN deck?

 

tl;dr I hate netdecking, and people who netdeck aren't playing the game how it should be played.

 

*Yes, this is partially salt over Cubelock/Spiteful priest, but it's also a gripe I have with many games where people can just copy a boring meta that is unbeatable.

 But people play the game for different reasons, so when you say they don’t play the game the way it was meant to be played, that’s incredibly subjective.

I don’t play this game to theorycraft and brew decks. One of my main goals is playing as a collector. I love busting packs and trying to increase my collection. I don’t care to waste time trying to craft a deck that can help me collect cards, that’s not what is fun to me. So I’m perfectly happy picking up any deck from here that looks like fun to play.

Prior to this, my goals I have done were: 500 wins with every class, legend with every class and 12 wins arena with every class. Here also I was fine netdecking for some decks I’d have fun playing on this journey. I had no interest in spending time that I don’t have coming up with a deck myself to make that happen. 

Furthermore, it’s human nature to leverage the experience and knowledge of others to reach your own goals.

 Easy, give us class/card bans. 

I would rather wait 30 minutes for a match than queue into netdecks for 30 minutes.

And how you think you can enforce it?

Blizz algorithms can't even fill a deck properly, how do you think they can recognize a netdeck?

 If I'm getting your general idea why would you be against someone harassing trolling or flaming someone for netdecking or playing a t1 deck in casual? There are no rules against it and some people have fun making other people feel bad. 

Fuck me. Class/card Bans? In Casual? 😂 

 It's not a freaking Tournament Mode you know (sadly) It's Casual. Where you can play what you want, how you want and not worry about tanking Rank. 

I don't really give two short shits if my Opponent brings a Tier One Netdeck into Casual. I don't really think it's an issue is it? Blizzard have never explicitly stated that Casual is a Snowflake Breeding Ground have they?

 And in any case, it's Casual. Who cares if you win or lose? 

As said earlier the best would be a player-based incentive system where the opponent decides how one is rewarded. Don't like netdecks in casual? Just deny them their reward. Currently the main incentive are quests and the passive gold gain. Both might and do require people to win. Therefore there are also netdecks in casual. My opinion: Really annoying. But we can't do much about it. (Except playing more with friends I guess.)

netdecking ruins the game ...period but cant be stopped so...
