The only reason I could see someone playing this is that they get enjoyment out of ruining the game and wasting their opponents time.
How screwed up in the head do you have to be?
How screwed up do you have to be to decide what is fun for everyone? I dont play the deck but I can see how it can be interesting, and I have had some very interesting and fun games against it. Everyone forgets you always have the option to concede if you dont want to play against something. Its very easy
Let me tell you about a new class, DH. Just play that. It sounds perfect. No skill required. You go 1 drop into 4 drop into 5 drop which is supposed to be a 7 drop but isn't and you win the video game:)
Wow, that sounds awesome. Will def give that a try - I love winning video games!
- Blizzard should at least provide some tech cards against the albatross effect, currently there is no counter options.
Did you ever hear about silence
He's wrong but silence is not the reason. A silenced Albatross can still be res'ed with the death rattle intact many times over. Silence works against Albatrosses outside res priest, but that's not to be found after the nerfs.
Transform, return to hand, shuffling, transforming deck, destroying birds in deck, swapping decks, and aggro/tempo decks are counters. Some of them are wild only or completely non-meta, but they exist.
Тhe fact the deck is played means someone is enjoying it. I don't like it either but that doesn't mean anything. Sometimes I like to jam some casino mage which is quite hated by some. Some guys don't dig thief rogue/priest either. Yes, those decks aren't consistent, but they're quite fun, we have to deal with it.
Why not? I mean come on, this is a card game, so don't blame people, but rather Blizzard itself for printing such obnoxious cards. To be clear, I hate this deck myself among others like RNG Mage (I don't know why, but some call him Spell Mage...) or Aggro "Don't use your brain" Face DH, but this is how this game always been.

Not really. People don't enjoy the deck, they enjoy trolling and ruining others' gameplay experience.
That's the same reason why a lot of these players rope every turn and spam emotes. It's just toxicity and without any proper report function there's zero chance of punishment for it.

Yes, because if you can't enjoy the deck that means that no one enjoys playing it.
It is an alterative in this meta, can deal and heal vs agressive ones, can disrupt very often highlander decks and the only really block in the way is rogue.
Blizzard was already aware of the possibility of someone creating this obnoxious deck. That's why they printed Wyrmrest Purifier in the same set. It's a counter to all opponents who like to shuffle stuff into your deck. That includes Bomb Warrior and Weasel Priest in wild. It's an alternative to transforming effects (which is the only true hard counter to Albatross and Weasel).

Unless you're playing Pure Paladin or Spell Mage... Putting neutral minion in your deck is pretty counter intuitive in those cases.
But I agree. We should ban all cards that beat or affect the decks I like. Right now I am running Pure Paladin and Lackey Warlock. Please ban all cards that make me not win every single game. Even ones that only appear in 0.1% of decks.
In fact, please only allow all Hearthstone players other than me to only have access to Basic sets... Unless they can construct a deck from the basic cards that can somehow beat my decks, then nerf those too.
People complained about not having a Reno counter for years. Now that we finally get it, people are losing their minds.
The problem isn't a reno counter. That's fine, that's what the card is intended to do. It's when priests shuffles 20 copies of that stupid bird in my deck that triggers me. Ruins the fun.
That's like asking why I play Quest/OTK King Krush Hunter, Egg/Discard Warlock or Aggro Bomb Warrior. Maybe just ...just maybe ... people play decks that they enjoy... what novel idea! That's so fucking crazy right?
It's funny to me when my Bomb Warrior deck screws over a Pure Paladin deck... I'm sure it's similar for Albatross priest.

A deck that prevents you to play your own deck should not exist at the first place.
I've not seen that deck in a while. I am mostly playing thief priest right now and I am absolutely loving it!

Sure go. Nobody will miss you. Just a heads up, if some cards are triggering you, then it's a clear sign you won't handle life so well.

Albatross alone counters Hunters... I mean now: minionless, big beasts and highlander. Tell me how to counter as hunter?

I love that deck to make aggroADHSface kiddies salty.

Make it a Battlecry, problem solved
