Had to post this monstrosity of a deck. 2 Tarims is preeeeeetty good. Although honestly some games were super scary since most of my cards are mostly threats, not answers. I lost against a curvestone zoolock around 5 wins and perfect answer Priest at 1 wins lol.
No weapons, just good old board minion fodder for Tarim to abuse games with.
12-2 Warrior, back to back 12 wins with a 12-0 Mage before.
This time the deck is just really, really good. It's only a tad weak since it had no card draws or discovers.
Topdecking a taunt was enough to seal 2 games which was nice.
The consistent curve for me seem to be 6-7 2s, 5 3s, 5 4s, 2 6s, 2 7+s, rest of the deck can be whatever. Preferably 1-2 1 drops as well for more flexibility.
Well after 3 runs of getting absolutely rekt by RNG (and 2 11-win warrior run earlier this month), this one finally takes the cake.
12-0 Warrior, not a single bad card, 5 weapons, reach for days, card draw, late game finishers. Deathlord pulled a Bog Creeper once but it was doable with Obsidian on board. Faceless made another Obsidian in 2-3 games which is absolutely insane.
Frothing Berserker basically carried games by itself, I beat a druid on turn 6 after the guy took over 20 damage with one frothing, rofl. Informant had plenty of hightlight as well, getting King Crush, Call of the Wild, Malkorok, Coghammer in the games it was seen.
The best RNG I can ask for is not matching up with any insane mages nor paladins. Faced 5 warlocks above 5 wins but they pretty much die to tempo. The 11-0 guy made a mistake and didn't kill my frothing which dodged a bullet for sure there.
Nexus didn't really see any play, except in one priest game where I got elemental destruction from it, guy was probably tilted.
In a warlock meta, I'm pretty happy with Warriors, ironically I probably enjoy warriors better as aggro more than hunters. Warriors just has some insane common class cards (way more than Hunters) and drawing weapons early is most of the time game winning.
Almost back to back to back 12 wins, had 12-1, 11-3, and 12-2.
Hunter 12-1 might be the first 12-1 for me for Hunter. Had some crazy plays. The memorable is Webspinner into Ratpack then buffed Ratpack with Glaivezooka and Dwarf and got 5 1/1s, meanwhile killing a 2/2 with weapon and a 5/4 with Ratpack. Rogue instantly conceded. Lol. The MVP was Bomb Squad though, which is a fantastic card in a class that lacks pings and better removal spells. Won at least 3 games with the tempo swing from it.
12-2 Paladin was unexpected. No weapons, and mostly just minion combat for board control. Also faced NO mages, and 5 warlocks. One warlock misplayed Implosion but still won because he got a 6/6 out of a voidcaller on turn 5. At 10-2 also faced a Paladin that got me down to 1, with Ivory Knight healing for 1 the few turns before that saved my life.
tl;dr Paladin is now my highest winrate class, with an epic 7.9 win rate in 15 runs while Warlock is at 7.4 with 18 runs. Paladin is probably #2 tbh, just because the handbuffs are extremely strong in the hands of an experienced player.

First 12-win in like 2 weeks, I guess it makes sense considering my last 12-wins were back to back 12-0s, lol.
Losses were to 2 other Warlocks, go figure. Also faced 6 Warlocks in this run, I guess people finally got the message that Warlock is overpowered.
The first loss was due to me not playing a Kvaldir Raider on an empty board on turn 5, which means the opponent got their own Floating Watcher down first and I basically just died since I couldn't remove it.
The second loss was at 12-1, which was impossible to win as the dude got a free 6/6 out of void caller, and 2 other 6/6s came on board right after. And the guy had perfect early game presence. Game was over in 6mins and I regret ever keeping a Demonwrath in opening turn (shoulda kept the Felfire probably..)
The final game was also pretty quickly. Just had a priest with 2 misplays despite getting lucky with ogre brute. I guess it worked out nicely for me since I lost to a ridiculous Warlock the game before.
Overall what I consider a "standard" Warlock deck in this meta. Twisting Nether was useful 2-3 times. Crystalweaver is just way too strong for a vanilla 5/4 worth of stats imo. Saw a warlock in my last rogue game buff 3 demons in one turn. What a card.

Just. So. Overpowered. I was actually offered with Syphon Soul 3 times in this draft, but at one point I already had 3 large removals.
Like, what is there to say really that hasn't been said? This class is clearly on top and it's not even funny. This is the first 12-0 back to back I've ever done, and probably will ever do. My god the sweet 24-0 win streak.

Another 12-0 Warlock, 3 days after my other 12-0 Warlock run.
And also a 12-2 Paladin.
Brief thoughts:
Warlock is undoubtedly the top class in the meta right now. It's almost silly how strong it is. Common removals, common board clears just make this class ridiculously well-rounded. Late game, just hero power and win. Early game, draft at least 6 2s and some 1s and you win the game. Unless you drafted a very subpar deck (which is unlikely), it's just overpowered.
Smuggler's Run/Grimstreet Outfitter is busted. 1 mana buff 3-4 minions on turn 1 is insane value. I'd say Smuggler's Run is more powerful than Grimstreet, just because it's more powerful on turn 1 if you're going first vs. Grimstreet which loses you tempo on turn 2.

Back to back 12-wins. I didn't play hearthstone as much at all recently. I went on hiatus with Karazhan meta. This is a decent period though. Less variance.
12-2 Mage and 12-1 Rogue.
Rogue felt pretty unfair. Just decent quality cards and drawing early game well. Emperor was great, gaining mad tempo on turn 6. I was able to play it quite a few times on 6. Only lost once to a Rogue that had more tempo than I did. Last game at 11 wins was quite unfair. I had 22 damage burst on turn 8. Mage didn't have a chance. There was also 2 back to back games where I got flamestriked twice each game, still won, lol.
Mage was hilarious. I had one game on 10-2 where the guy on turn 3 used a coin to frostbolt a 2/1 guy and proceeded to concede, lmao.

Mage in a nutshell in this meta, page stacked with 12 win Mage decks, lol.
This one is special enough for me to post considering my last run was a 12-2 Hunter. So a 12-win repeat is always worth a post.
The Medivh/Pyroblast dream finally happened in one game. Got Deathwing off of it. Other times the weapon is just good enough to ping some enemies off.
Deck overall is just a strong tempo deck with enough card draw. Mad scientist value is pretty much game winning. 2 zombie chows made me draw at least 1 almost every game early on. Zoobot had its moment of buffing a dragon or a beast. Frost ele did its role of sealing out wins.

12-2 Hunter, maybe the first time I got to 12 wins with a Hunter.
Deck was fairly average. Obviously Glaivezookas carried the game. But Giant Sand Worm is actually pretty OP too. Had a game where I topdecked Captured Jormungar, twice, after playing Tundra Rhino. Alas the second time my Rhino died but the first time made lethal.
I think I only faced 3 mages in this run, the final boss was a mage who died on turn 7, lol.

Cold blood have done more lethal in this run than I can count. I think I played it in most games. Seems 1 mana 4 damage with potential to do another 4 damage next turn is pretty craycray.
Draknoid Crusher came in big, literally I guess. Buffs the Technician which I got in at least 2-3 games, was a 9/9 in multiple games as well. Only one game did a Mage removed it, still won it when it came down to topdecking.
Deadly fork is overrated in my opinion. You never want more than one of this card, and it's honestly not that good to play on 3, since you don't really want to waste a turn playing a weapon when you can develop a 4. I've dumped this card in my opening hand several times, Scarlet/Brute/Harvest Golem are simply way more threatening.
Didn't play for a while due to revisiting Mass Effect.
Pretty standard Rogue deck. The jackpot 12-0 still alludes me, but I'll settle for a cruise 12-1 Rogue.
The only loss was against a Warrior. Guy outtempod me. The 9/9 draknoid crusher was brutal to deal with.
Some highlights:
1. 11-1 Final Boss Hunter. Of course the guy had Call of the wild on 8, but I had lethal on turn 9 as I dealt 21 damage to him plus the removal of the 4/4 taunt. Topdecking Eviserate in a nutshell. Nightblade also provided the 3 damage lethal as well. Also got an Aldor from the Grand Crusader in this game too. The RNG was stacked.
2. Nightblade value, getting lethal for me twice, including the 11-1 Hunter win.
3. Face is the place, argent commander made a Rogue traded a 5/3 and a 5/4 into it, he still lost since I had kraken for lethal.
4. Swashburglar/Huckster shenanigans. Aside from a Shatter once, it had pretty good results. Getting a frost bolt exactly against a shredder.
5. Lack of 4 drops. Turns out it wasn't really necessary with the inclusion of 2 eviserates, prophet, and swashburglar. The deck was extremely flexible. I was kind of worried it might get out tempod with 5+ 6+ drops but the flexibility of stealing other classes' cardssgave me a lot of value and unpredictability.
The dream 12-win repeat. 12-2 Rogue and 12-1 Paladin.
I was 11-0 on Rogue before losing twice and cruises through the 3rd final boss attempt. Assassinate at the right time, Swashburglar into some insane steal cards.
The 12-1 Paladin was hitting the RNG lottery machine. No weapons, but drew my win conditions at the right time nearly every game. Murloc Knight gave me Warleader, Murkeye, another Murloc Knight in different runs. The best was probably topdecking Murloc Knight after a flamestrike.
Steward of Darkshire into Twilight Drake was hilariously OP. Guy didn't give up on the spot, but losing a ogre brute for free was not fun for him lol. Questing Adventurer was a 8/4 in a game against a Rogue, too bad he didn't topdeck any Evis. Darkshire into Murloc Tidehunter + Elven Archer was also hilariously OP on turn 6.
Lastly, Aldoring a 8/8 Fel Reaver and emptying his deck til he had one card left is also hilariously broken. The guy just happen to play 4 monsters too to play into MCtech. Man the RNGesus smiled upon me for this run.
