Seriously. I'm looking through their cards, and out of all their Standard cards, there are just 5 that aren't constructed-level playable. Shatter, Greater Arcane Missiles, Cryomancer, Servant of Yogg-Saron and Anomalus.

And as we all know, if a card is playable in constructed, a card is borderline broken. How can a class be allowed to have nothing but broken crap? Mage had the original Tunnel Trogg, and they still have it. They have cards that completely nullify board advantage, and cards that completely nullify burn damage. They now have a better Mad Scientist. And now they have the most overpowered card ever made, Primordial Glyph, so they can get even more copies of their overpowered crap.

So I have to ask, why are all Mage players so goddamn terrible at the game that they can't pilot this overpowered class to tier 0?

Holy shit, i used to complain about golden monkey cw mirror but at the end better player was able to win usually. Yeah, it was really hard to win when your opponent got his justicar XX turns before yours but it was still a matchup where proper resource management was the most important thing.

 This was a myth man. In the end, that all came down to RNG as well. Draw RNG. Brawl RNG. Monkey RNG. People felt like there was skill because games went longer, but when broken down, it had the same issues.

In most mirrors in most card games, especially without side boards, luck plays a pretty big role. Who opened with what - who hit the right cards at the right time.

 Control warrior and handlock mirrors were very skill intensive! Removal/elise/nzoth/extending on board/drawing or not/aoe/nzoyth/fatigue... tonnes of choices to be made, and both players would often draw their entire decks, so everything mattered! The games took forever, though...

Jade druid absolutely destroys taunt warrior. No, that OP heropower is not enough to save them once the jades are 9-9 or bigger!

I think it's clear.

Necessary? no. Vital? Yes

I personally refuse to play any control as long as there is Quest Rogues and Facetard Hunters out there. Can't beat em, better join them.

Quote from Lamsednav >>

Taunt Warrior and Exodia Mage aren't exactly control decks.

Control decks require a bit thinking. Taunt Warrior is spamming Taunt minions and hoping your overpowered hero power does the job.

Metastats currently ranks Quest Warrior as a T1 deck at Rank5 through Legend, and Control Paly as a T2 deck at those same levels.
vS shows that about 1/5 of every game at Legend levels is against a Quest Warrior.

Quest Warrior is a control deck.
So I would say that statistically, you are wrong.

Also, your question and the poll are unrelated.

FOR SCIENCE!

So its deathrattle triggered twice leaving nothing on the board?

Out of interest did Anomalus kill itself?

Yes, there is! It's called Dragon Priest! And it still works: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/machamps-ungoro-dragon-priest-april-2017-season-37/

Elemental Shaman feels similar to old dragon priest. Although, like most UNG decks, early game just isn't a thing you have anymore.

I actually did go all in on analyzing cards here.  I know we're barely a week in and not a lot of reputable tierlists have been posted but based on Metastats and Toast I definitely made a few good calls and a few bad ones.  I greatly overestimated Elementals as a whole and like everyone else I thought The Caverns Below would be a dumpster card and The Marsh Queen would be top tier.  I put Dinomancy and Spiritsinger Umbra (who still might have a chance) in the top tier and I still don't think Bittertide Hydra is that good.

For some stuff I got right based on my experience, Jeweled Macaw is an auto-include in Hunter decks, and Sherazin, Corpse Flower is seeing almost 0 play. Humongous Razorleaf is declining a bit so its unclear whether that can be called a top-tier card. Ravasaur Runt is a card I hyped up a bit and its seeing some play.

The meta hasn't even started to settle though so it'll take at least another week for us to be sure of anything, since that's when Tempostorm (which most people listen to for some reason) and Vicious Syndicate (which most people should listen to as far as tiering goes) should put out their first reports for the Standard year.
