Is anyone having success playing a control deck right now in the 10-6 bracket?
I am just not a fan of playing aggro (or aggro / midrange) decks. I just like the playstyle of trying to shut down opponents threats, and either winning by attrition, or with an OTK / TTK.
Usually I can find or build some kind of control deck that will at least get me past Rank 5, but this season, I am having no lock at all. I can get most common decks to right around a 50% win rate, but that is it. I don't have too much trouble with the more midrange decks, but I just seem to be getting wrecked by the really fast aggro decks like Zoolock. The one exception being paladin, just because they are easy enough to stabilize against with AoE.
Decks I have tried so far are:
Quest Priest. Actually have decent luck with this deck (54% win rate), but to be honest, I have been playing it since last season, and am burned out on it.
Taunt Druid. Too many decks running Geist, or warriors with the Sentry, or just getting smashed before I can stabilize. Deck started strong, but has really fizzled out lately.
Control Warlock. Nerf bat really hurts with this one. Tough to even stay alive long enough to get the Void Daddies in play.
Big Spell Mage. Kinda in the same boat as Quest Priest. Has a barely reasonable win rate, but it's just an old deck. Seems like I played it 2 seasons ago.
Anyway ... anyone have any ideas? Or is it just time to suck it up and just go face? <ugh>

I wanna glide down, over Mulholland I wanna write her, name in the sky I wanna free fall, out into nothin' Gonna leave this, world for awhile
Baku CW, but not the one uses tons of taunts and the quest, it is one of my favorite decks right now.
The upgraded hero power keep you alive, for treats use Ysera, Elise and the beast put 6/9 in your deck, it is not the best deck right now but a least you kick the aggro asses all day. :P

I may take a stab at a Baku Warrior again. I messed around with one using the Rush package right after WW release, and it wasn't bad, If nothing else, it's almost guaranteed win against Taunt Druid.

I have been playing big spell mage and it's doing pretty well. Of course, it heavily depends on the mulligan you get (just like every deck), but it's basically guaranteed win against taunt druid, it does reasonably well against warlocks, hunters and rogues, I'm only having problems with priests and paladins.
