It’s very interesting to me that so many people get angry and frustrated with Hearthstone. I mean after all it’s just a “game” isn’t it. It is right? Just a “game”.....well, actually it’s a program that looks and feels like a game but what it actually is, is a program to study and control human behavior.  Wow that’s crazy I bet you’re thinking now, but is it crazy really.  Think about it. When scientists study animal behavior it’s often in the form of a game or puzzle. But human intellect, even the most basic puzzles become boring or stale after a while so the experiment would be short lived.  To solve this problem they made it competitive, who doesn’t want to win at something right, then introduced a series of variables to keep the test subjects, you and me too, interested by giving us a sense of control. 
You build your deck, it’s yours play as you like. Except for the fact that it’s competitive and nobody likes to lose. And then the trap is set. Ever wonder why so many games end on perfect 0 HP, or how you or your opponent draw(s) the perfect card at the perfect time to secure that come from behind victory. Well now you know. And I’ll bet you’re thinking, that’s a stretch. Is it really? One of the most difficult things to deal with in programming is what? VARIABLES. With any card being able to be played it becomes increasingly difficult to control however what if I told you there were certain variables, let’s call them cards, that increase your chances of winning. Would you use them? And then what if I told you that there were people that direct you to play those cards and show you how to use them. Would you use them then? And if you chose Yes to both those questions guess what you did? Exactly what I wanted/needed you to do. Lowered the number of variables I have to consider when programming. 
Yeah but what if someone plays cards that aren’t the recommended set? Well they lose. Oops I mean they get bad RNG. That could mean poor draw timing or the wrong enemy is targeted by random effects anything that is supposed to be random. 
So let’s sum it all up. The developers are controlling your mind. RNG isn’t as random as we believe it to be and pro players are the puppet masters working with their dev overlords to rules us all. 
If you’ve made it this far then I’ve got a confession to make. None of the above is actually, as far as I know, true. It’s just how I coupe with the loses and terrible RNG that sometimes plagues my self created decks. I don’t like to netdeck so I often build my own. 
How do you coupe with losing while continuing to play Hearthstone? Comment below and thanks for reading. 

Arrrrrrr (*~*) You couldn’t hit a like tho. 

From that deck I created this one. https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1270107-survivalist-ma-duel-uh-57-3-lose-rate#c6

I ranked from 20 to 13 pretty quickly which for me is pretty ok because I always make my own decks. I really appreciate you taking the time to give pointers thanks. 

Basically I try to get my bigs out ASAP and Out Duel my enemy. 

I’ve head that bomb hunter is really good now all them magnets lol Ive been working on this deck myself CHECK IT OUT : https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1270107-survivalist-ma-duel-uh-57-3-lose-rate

Best combo so far is Full Lesser Diamond and 3 Star aligners. 21 to face and board.  That’s not including the two Resd Dino’s.

Love this deck. 

Crap deck

you are right!

Mea culpa

Since we will not hit 100 - its Pilgrim Mage. 

...and you play it like....Pilgrim Mage. Just that you use your Dragon Casters to blow 20 in his Face. 

Thank me later.

I had an interesting game against a Big Demon Warlock. I had put a few bombs into his deck and was getting ready for a big Blastmaster Boom turn and then....he played Arch-Villain Rafaam, quite an interesting counter;)

 You should see Cheonsu's lineup for GM lol. He tried to hard counter bomb warrior by teching in the standard stuff (like Acidic Swamp Ooze, Kobold Stickyfinger), plus cards you wouldn't even think about using-- Archivist Elysiana, Sphere of Sapience, and even the never seen Wyrmrest Purifier.

utter sh*t

Damn! Rank 13 with that deck seems pretty good! Still see quite a bit of anti-synergy such as the smaller minions and Duel. Also pulling Archivist Elysiana from Duel seems terrible.

Glad to see Equality, Consecration and the Wild Pyromancers. These cards will be huge in the survival aspect. 

Certainly some good changes. I'd recommend taking out Humility and adding something like Repentance. That will keep the smaller spell synergy with Prismatic Lens, but have better synergy with your bigger minions like Shirvallah, Tyrion and Glass Knight. Also with the removal of Prince Liam, Hakkar seems worse in a way. Sword of Justice seems like filler and could probably be replaced with another Consecration or Equality. Even Truesilver Champion seems like a better fit with the heal aspect.

Those are just a few little ideas. Good luck with the climb!

It looks like it will still be suffering from the same issues. You added more minions and that could slightly help some of the survival issues, but not really. 

Here are some key points:

1. You added Proud Defender which is good, but what if it is drawn by Jepetto Joybuzz? It will now become useless and one of the cards that Jepetto Joybuzz needed to draw is still in the deck at full cost.

2. You have Hakkar, the Soulflayer in the deck as a possible win condition, but how are you killing it off? It is very weak to any Silence effect. Your win condition has to be CLEAR CUT AND SUPER STRONG. Hakkar can be a win condition, but you have to survive till you play him, he can't be Silenced or you basically lose, and other decks have to be UNABLE to deal with this strategy. Hakkar kind of sucks in that way because it will almost NEAR be a 100% win condition eveny when the Deathrattle triggers. Any other deck that plays Archivist Elysiana has a way to counter the Blood spells. These are things you need to take into account when building a deck.

3. You will still basically just outright die to any aggressive deck. You don't have a playable minion until turn 3 in a best case scenario.

Those are the biggest glaring weakpoints, but don't give up. Keep trying and more importantly LEARNING! GL!

As you can see I have 28% of all games against token druids. Mulligan for secret and 2 drop, if you have coin, keep bellringer sentry. Play whelp on 6 if you have. Trade 2/2 in, merge zilliax on the 7/7. If you don't have zilliax, draw it with ashmore. If you don' have her, it means you have lots of 4 mana cards in hand, which is actually good enough to beat druids. Don't hero power when redemption is active. Good luck!

@ALKMSTD, I read your forum post and decided to take a look at your decklist here.

The deck looks very bad for these reasons. You have a win condition of Chef Nomi and Archivist Elysiana. How do you plan on getting through your deck to make use of those cards? You will lose to almost every aggro, midrange and honestly most combo and control decks as well. Your deck has no way of clearing a board to stay alive. 

Look at the cards that have basically NO synergy in your deck. You have Redemption, Blessing of Wisdom and Lightforged Blessing in your deck, but you only have 4 minions? Were you using these spells on you 1/1 hero powers? These spells serve nearly no purpose in the deck. 

Now this deck will not be good, but it can kind of help show how your concept "could" be made.

Now you can start to see the draw synergies and the board clear synergies that MIGHT keep you alive long enough to play Chef Nomi.

These are the things you need to look at when building a deck. EACH AND EVERY CARD has to be working together in some way to serve some overall goal.
