- The same high tier decks I also encounter in Ranked. (With a difference these are often golden in Casual)
- AFK'ers.
-New players with mostly basic/common/rare cards.
I want to play Casual to avoid the stress of Ranked and use a series of decks without legendaries or RNG cards. But often Casual is just like Ranked but in a way even worse.
Playing against new players is not fun either because I feel bad for them. (If they don't concede I play out the game with them so they gain experience and then I concede)
Unless Blizzard modifies the EXP earning methods then there'll be AFK'ers forever on casual now. You just earn a lot more EXP by letting th rope burn every turn and then on turn like 3-4 yor hero power to refresh the rope
And that gives you like 60-70 EXP for doing nothing at all.
Ranked floors completely eliminate any ranked anxiety you might have.
Every time you hit a rank 10 or 5 you cannot fall back below it no matter how much you lose. And if your MMR is tanked enough you will mostly face janky control and combo decks.
Unless I'm at D5 or higher trying to get to legend, I just play whatever deck I want in ranked anyway. I'll make a janky deck to complete the corrupt cards quest, or some meme thing I think is fun.
At least my opponents won't AFK or concede after 1 turn because they didn't draw the card they want.
... is terrible! 9/10 are loser afkers, 2 minute wait times, same opponent (afker) after my 3 instaconcedes due to... afkers!
Just using it to practise decks but casual is unplayable right now
So... basically for you the problem of casual right now are afkers, huh? Mmmhh, yeah, most definitely agreed...! Aggro tier 1 decks are so hard to come by in that environment...
I dont think u bot in casual, why?? your games give less xp in casual AND u wont be getting any wins counting towards hero portrait. so botting in wild makes a lot more sense actually.
I don't use casual these days for anything else than completing quests. I think if they made it so you could complete achievements in casual that might help a bit, but probably won't stop the roping bots and tier 1 decks ruining your day.
Ranked floors completely eliminate any ranked anxiety you might have.

I agree! For me ranked floors are like casual. Whenever I hit D10 I just play meme shit for a week and get to test decks against no AFK'ers but a good mix of memes and actual meta decks, then at some point I switch to some serious shit for hitting legend or just run full clown fiesta if I have 11 stars anyway ;)
But late game cards can only be used when you have the mana to do so, like you’ve said. 1-mana Discover cards can be used at any point of the game and can find an answer for any situation.
So take Pyroblast for example, if you put it in your deck it’s useless in every game you play that doesn’t go to 10-mana, and even then it may not be of any use if your opponent is high on life. If you play Wand Thief on Turn 9 however and it’s one of the options and your opponent is on 10 life, it’s likely an easy pick.
That’s the point, it’s often far more consistent to just play Wand Thief and look for late game stuff in the games it’s needed than it is to hard run the card itself.
A fairer card would be something like - 9-Mana “Discover a card that costs (8) or more, it costs (0)”

there is no casual indeed, i was used to play so much casual too, but now when i see 2 afk only using here power time to time, this is more cancer than the meta
there is no casual mode now. Standard is quest completion mode and wild is achievement mode for me. D5 in both modes because when you make legend once in each there is no point in wasting your time again.
I'm going to enjoy making legend again with faceless leeroy and buzzard hounds in legacy when they release that. OG legend with those since playing in closed beta.
Hopefully, this new expansion isn't dull in a week. The new achievements and reward track are the only thing that keeps me playing anymore. Before that, it was log-in complete quest log out.
Should be rank 250-260 before release and I'll enjoy the 160 free packs added to the pile I'm opening on release day. 420-430 packs are always fun to open. That is 100 more than the 320 I open for every expansion.

Bronze in ranked is the real casual mode.
For me Casual consists of:
- The same high tier decks I also encounter in Ranked. (With a difference these are often golden in Casual)
- AFK'ers.
-New players with mostly basic/common/rare cards.

I find casual is players completing quests only, which is great as they allow you to play your 30 battlecry cards in 1 game 👍

Casual is a waste of time in my opinion.

This game is casual as a whole so there is no reason for avoiding ranked mode.

It is dire.
I very rarely play Casual, but sometimes I do enjoy some golden Renounce Darkness memery.
I cannot remember the last time I saw an opponent there who had an active pulse and blood in their system.
i personally never have played casual,i'd better play ranked for anything else even if i lose
