29th July update: Slizzle466's Even Shaman to Legend again!... when nothing else works! (1080p)

Aggro Paladin. Big Priest. Odd Rogue. Renolock. Nothing was working. Win a game. Lose a game. Win two games. Lose two games... and so it went on. I couldn't get past Rank 1. In order to get Legend, I went back to Slizzle466's Even Shaman deck - A deck I played a couple of months back to get Legend. Slizzle has since played more greedy versions of the deck. However, this version of Even Shaman feels solid and stable.

4th August update: WILD Control Warrior at legend - fun times with Justicar Trueheart! (1080p)

Welcome to the Grand Tournament! Oh wait. Wrong expansion! At the end of last season, I had some fun with Control Warrior on the Wild mode legend ladder. This may be viewed as a tier 4 deck, but I don't care. I had fun. Brings back some good memories. The deck excels against Aggro. I took out the Warrior DK and put in Justicar. Tank Up seems good against aggro and exceptionally good against control decks once you hit fatigue.

5th August update: Slizzle466's WILD Face Collector Rogue to Rank 1: Lightwells, Cold Bloods & top decks! (1080p)

It's the start of the August Season. We are waiting for the Boomsday expansion. Time to rank up on the wild mode ladder. The Slizzle466 Face Collector Rogue has been the most consistent and steady deck I have played in the last 3 months! If you want a deck that can make quick progress against a whole range of different top meta decks (Even Shaman, Renolock, etc), then this is a good deck to play.

Some pretty awesome moments in this video - being carried by Lightwell was awesome. Ancestral Healing bought me tempo. Dr Boom on 7 is pretty good! Who would have thought!

12th August update: Saviun's WILD Boomsday Mech Hunter - with Enhance-o Mechano!! (1080p)

A Boomsday Mech deck that plays Enhance-o Mechano? Yes please! This is the first Boomsday deck I played on the Wild ladder. It gives me great memories of playing Mech Mage in the GvG 2015 era. Mechwarper into loads of cheap Mechs. Feels amazing. However, once the deck runs out of steam you are in trouble, unless Jeeves arrives...

13th August update: Thedude1329's WILD Boomsday Deathrattle Rogue - Ragnaros showdown with Big Priest!

Deathrattle Rogue has been very consistent for me - allowing me to get back to rank 1 on the Wild ladder. Necrium Blade is an awesome weapon. I didn't really have an opportunity to play Myra Rotspring. It turns out, she wasn't needed! The Ragnaros showdown with Big Priest was pretty awesome!

19th August update: Starfruit's Standard Deathrattle Rogue - Sapping 1024 health Boars (1080p)

We are nearly 2 weeks into the Boomsday expansion. I had so much fun with Deathrattle Rogue on Wild. I decided to try it on Standard. Tremendous fun. My first experience against the new Test Subject Priest...

https://youtu.be/pNwRb-zECr4

24th August update: Slizzle466's WILD Weaponized Pinata Even Shaman - Hogger value! :-) (1080p)

Slizzle466. A hero. A legend. My Hearthstone inspiration. Why such high praise? Whenever I play a Slizzle466 deck, things go really well for me. RNG is always better. I win more too! Some super fun games - beating Combo Druid, other Even Shamans, Big Priest and Odd Rogue (15:04 was a scary moment...).

https://youtu.be/oeU6X8v8icA

26th August update: Roffle's Standard Blood Knight Odd Rogue - Glory to the Sin'dorei!

Fun times with Roffle's Blood Knight Rogue on Standard mode. How good is Blood Knight? Is it worth including, considering there are only 4 other cards that activate it?

https://youtu.be/ZZN8NUJ72dU

27th August update: Slizzle466's WILD Pinata Shaman to Legend - Showdown against Mech Hunter with GvG cards! (1080p)

Slizzle's Even Shaman. Another trip to Legend with this deck. I ended up facing Tempo Mage, Mech Mage, Mech Hunter, Renolock and no Druids! Some of those games are showcased in this video. I wish I had recorded the Mech Mage game :-(

Deck code: AAEBAaoIAooHzfQCDtMB2QfwB9YPshS1FPeqAvuqAqC2Aoe8AtG8Ava9ApTvAob7AgA=

Keep in mind, Slizzle466 currently runs a slightly newer version of the deck, which includes Windfury.

https://youtu.be/ecAxIW2hnMM

Gameplay spoilers:

0:17 Combo Druid is broken. Killing someone with 42 health on a ramped up turn 9 feels strange.

8:02 Healing to 30 against Even Shaman does very little when there is a massive board on the other end!

12:38 Goodbye Aluneth :-) No burn for you!

14:48 When it isn't Iceblock... :-)

18:58 Mech Hunter with Clockwork Gnome... brings back GvG memories.

2nd September update: KSR's Wild Renolock - Twisting Nether vs Combo Druid (1080p)

Some highlights from last season's Wild legend ladder. Renolock remains a very strong deck - with good all round performance. I got lucky with Twisting Nether, ending a very tense game against Combo Druid. Felt amazing.

https://youtu.be/Trx5DCLqNQ8

9th September update: All Hail Tony's WILD Jade Druid - A good counter to Combo Druid (1080p)

Jade Druid is a really solid deck that has decent games against a range of different tier 1 wild decks. Your initial start can be very slow, but once you stabilise against aggro, if they can't rush you down in the first 10 turns, you should win. Against Control decks, the longer the game goes, the easier it becomes to go infinite and develop large Jade Golems. Against Star Aligner Druid, you armour up out of range and then cast Poison Seeds and Plague on their board. That's your win condition. Oh, and who needs Boomsday cards :-)

https://youtu.be/GIoeMrvNHLc

Gameplay Spoilers:

11:18 The Priest played Dirty Rat and put a huge Jade Golem on the board, giving me lethal. We had played over 20 minutes, so it was a relief to win that game.

15:52 Play your silly combo with Brann. I don't care. I have armour. I have Poison Seeds. I have Spreading Plague.

16th September update: Jab's Standard Deathrattle Hunter to Rank 2 - Cube / King Krush lethals are fun! (1080p)

Continuing on with Standard - an excuse to pay Deathrattle Hunter. I compare a more mech centric version of Deathrattle Hunter with Jab's beast heavy version. Fun times, including cool King Krush lethals. Deathstalker Rexxar can help massively with recovering against aggro decks - 2 damage AOE with the extra armour, and the ability to generate a taunt or charging lifesteal zombie beast on the following turn is key to stabilising. Was happy to get rank 2 on Standard with Jab's deck.

23rd September update: Tezzmizzet's WILD Reno Dragon Priest: Thermapluggs, MC Techs & OP Drakonids (1080p)

At the request of Alby Bro, I am playing Dragon Reno Priest. A tough deck to play. Loses badly to Combo Druid. Otherwise, you can have some pretty good games against aggro decks. Regardless of the win rate, there be dragons and that makes the deck fun to play - and that's what Hearthstone is all about.... right?
Oh, a question - why does MC Tech steal the best minion AND survive Brawls every time? Hmmmm....
I was a bit rusty at points - may have missed a couple of damage from the Priest hero power.

29th September update: Zeeland's Standard Token Druid - Muddling through to rank 1 (1080p)

As we reach the end of the September season, I fancied rank 1 on Standard. For once I am ahead on Standard compared to Wild. Deathrattle Hunter served me well up-till rank 2. However Token Druid seemed is what took me to rank 1. This version of the deck plays Violet Teacher. Not sure how I feel about that... Oaken Summons bringing out Violet Teacher isn't always a good outcome (i.e. if you don't have other spells to combo with the Violet Teacher on the same turn). Regardless, the Violet Teacher is but a mere distraction. Whispering Woods and Soul of the Forest, along with Savage Roar / Branching Paths is what wins games.

2nd October update: Old Guardian's Standard Spiteful Dragon Mage - with Pyroblast! (1080p)

Decided to try something a bit different on Standard. Dragons in a Mage deck? A fun deck which really excels in the mid to late game. Spiteful Summoner + Pyroblast combo is pretty awesome. Pyroblast can provide unexpected lethals - nobody sees it coming. Overall though, I think Spiteful Druid is still better - but then Druid is better in most of its incarnations.

6th October update: Skillzero's WIld Odd Warrior - Wrecking Star Aligner Druid (1080p)

A deck that can smash Star Aligner Druid? Oh yes. Tank Up. Tank Up. Keep Tanking Up. Brawl and win. Simple! Thank you to Skillzero for sharing this deck with me. Check out his guide on how to play it: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1185489-skillzeros-legend-odd-warrior

https://youtu.be/BD6BThD65p4

7th October update: Wild Even Shaman / Feral Gibberer to rank 4.... most satisfying lethal ever. (1080p)

Everyone can agree that Even Shaman is a strong deck in wild. In this video however, it was not a 4 mana 7-7 that won me the game. Thing from Below? No. Totemcarver? No. The Sea Giant kind of helped - well it just stood there and watched... as the Feral Gibberers went face and won me the game. Hilarious.
Oh... and one of my in-game friends has started a Twitch Stream - he's a cool and chilled out UK streamer, playing interesting decks. Check him out: https://www.twitch.tv/the_ginger_ninja

14th October update: TimmusGG's Wild Odd Mage: the saddest Gul'dan ever! (1080p)

Whilst waiting for the balance changes to be announced, let's try an off-meta deck. Something a little different. Odd Mage! The potential to burst your opponent down is high - but it does depend a lot on your early draws. You can also surprise your opponent in the late game with a Flamestrike to clear board and Frost Lich Jaina!

21st October update: Duwin's WILD Spell Hunter - A Meta without Druids? (1080p)

Goodbye Star Aligner Druid. It was (not) nice knowing you... The balance changes have arrived. Therefore, it is time to try out some different decks. Today, we are playing Duwin's Spell Hunter. A tremendously fun deck to play. Barnes into Y'Shaarj, Rhok'delar, upgraded Spellstone and the Hunter DK are your big threats. Apologies for any misplays - I am new to this deck.
