A suggestion to add a third option to practice mode and call it extreme. An extreme option is where the player can customize an innkeeper’s deck and be able to build any kind of deck for the innkeeper, for example; Resurrect priest, Galakrond rogue, Murloc shaman, Highlander hunter, etc… The player can even build innkeeper’s deck with cards that the player doesn’t own in his/her collection. Also, make an innkeeper decide moves like Zephrys the Great so that the practice challenge would feel like you’re playing against a real opponent.
I’m mean, I think I see where your coming from... “Hard” practice is stupid easy and it’s like apples to oranges if you’re trying a new home brew (or any off-meta deck) just to familiarize yourself against what you will face when it’s prime time. But IMO, your suggestion is likely a lot to ask. Not a bad idea, I just don’t see Blizz putting the resources in that. They could just make the “hard” actually more difficult and more importantly, more realistic. Maybe the “hard” or “extreme” could at least be one of the suggested builds for the class (and the corresponding meta)... cause those decks, or some variations, may actually be viable decks in the current meta. But in general, I think I agree with you. Problem is that likely no one cares enough at Blizz. They’re too concerned with churning out the latest expansion or whatever, with minimal forethought on a compressed timeline, to care about practice.

I’ve always thought why can’t you practice against the 3 decks hearthstone creates when you make a new deck for a class.
