This post is so biased, I could also make a blanket statement about wild that "all you see is Big Priest, Even Shaman and Odd Rogue. So BoRiNg". Half the decks you mentioned have a direct counterpart in standard like APM Priest, Toggwaggle Druid, Evenlock etc..
BTW you missed Reno Priest and Reno Mage, the actual reason why wild is considered better by some people.
Wild is better because the meta dont change too much when new expansion is released you can save craft any tier 1 deck and it will be viable even after 1 year .
I prefer wild as well. decks can become much better there as we have more options.
Also for the same reason (as you) I don't like standard at the moment. I really don't like to play against secret decks and as secret hunter is the most prevalent archetype I much prefer wild. There are still secret hunters in wild, but far fewer of them.
what wild decks you playing? I have an Even Lock, Odd Pirate Rogue, Mech Hunter and a Tesspionage Miracle deck. Currently also working on Odd Paladin, but I still need Quartermaster or Hobogoblin to finish off the deck, Dragon Priest and a new Disco Warlock. (never thought clutchmother would come in useful, but now she's amazing. They actually did Disco justice this time around)
Would love to play some reno decks, but I dusted my old adventure cards when I first started playing as I was misinformed about wild (people made it sound like you need all the cards and a knowledge of every card in the game. This is bad info. you can build a cheap decks for wild and you only need to learn the meta, not every single card... and besides, getting hit with new things is fun, much more fun than the same cookie cutter deck 90% of the time in standard)

This. Stop cherrypicking OP.
Wild is dominated as much by even shaman, odd rogue and big priest, as standard is dominated by hunter, priest and paladin.

And countering all of those is easy peasy because of so many tech cards, gotta love tinkmaster, I feel bad for standard players not realising how damn op he is

Yeah tinkmaster absolutely destroys even shaman and odd rogue. (No)
Wild will always have tons of different decks because there is no rotation there, so any archetype can be improved with new synergies each new expansion. On the other side, this kind of "optimization" will also lead to few of those archetype to emerge as predominant (at the moment Even Shaman is the most played, while some months ago it was Big Priest) but none will be too oppressive since in Wild you've counter for almost everything thanks to the expanded cards' pool.
With so many viable archetypes (you can easily get to Rank 5 by playing your home brewed deck) you will often experience a much more entertaining Ladder, instead of knowing since the beginning which deck your opponent is playing by just looking at his Class. Such diversivity avoid a "polarized meta" where just one or two decks dominate the Ladder, leaving only dust behind them in term of sheer power.
It's also cheaper in the long run, because you don't need tons of new cards each new set but just to craft some in order to upgrade the decks you want. On the other side, it's far more expensive for a new player since he need Wild-only cards that can be found only in cash-packs on Blizzard's shop.
In the end everyone will play what he like more but while Standard will have good and bad metas around (due to the quality of Standard's limited cards' pool), Wild can only get better with each new expansion set they release.
Well in wild there are decks such as even sham, odd rogue that has close to 70% winrate, the strongest deck in standard has 59% at most. If you are high rank in wild u also only meet the same decks.

Piss off, I didn't say that he counters even shaman and odd rogue, deathlord is good against those tho

Lol. I saw the same six decks 90% of the time last season. And most of those decks are old. Wild - where you can play against big priest and jade druid in perpetuity.
OP is stating an opinion. Obviously Wild is not popular. For every Wild player, there is at least a dozen Standard players. The number may be as high as 20. So it is an opinion that is shared by a tiny fraction of the HS community.
Obviously there is a huge skill level between Wild and Standard. Every time a mostly Standard player dabbles in Wild, the result is a 30 or 40 game win streak. Thijs, Xixo, and Zalae have cleaned up on the weak Wild players. Very few Wild players have made the transition to Standard. When I play Wild, I can't believe how freaking bad some of the players are. Rank 2 players can't get basic order right. And chances are, its the only deck they play.

And what if Deathlord pulls Faceless or Sea Giant? You're just plain wrong about that, it's a good card that still needs setup and answers if something goes wrong, it's in no way a counter.
About the topic, I agree it's better, but like most people said your same point applies to Wild, because after rank 5 there is much less variety.
Wild is better because the meta dont change too much when new expansion is released you can save craft any tier 1 deck and it will be viable even after 1 year .
That is one of the big problems with Wild. The Meta doesn't change. If you are a cheapskate or a broke, I can understand, but most people want a change of pace from every Priest being Big Priest, etc.
I wish they would come out with a version of Wild that was 3-5 randomly selected expansions and that was all you could construct with, so you'd have Standard, Wild and... Legacy(?) Just more design space options.

Standard is so boring. All you see is gallery otk priest and hunters. Wild has tons of more variety decks like:
Hunter: Mech, Deathrattle, Big Recruit, Spell, Secret.
Warrior: Odd Mill, Pirate, Odd Control
Priest: APM, Big Priest, Dragon, Mechathun
Shaman: Even, Shudderwock, Evolve, Aggro Spell
Paladin: Giant Aggro, Even, Odd, Pirate
Druid: Mill, Jade, Malygos, Togwaggle
Warlock: Even, Reno, Mechathun, Cube, Zoo
Rogue: Pirate Kingsbane, Odd, Deathrattle, Miracle, Mill
Mage: Exodia, Quest, Odd, Secret
I am experimenting with Dearthrattle Dragon Reno Priest in Wild

Yeah in wild you will run into alot more decks.

Viva La Wild Mode.
Wild is better because the meta dont change too much when new expansion is released only 10 cards at least are used .. so is more cheap
The best meme decks take place in Wild.
