Seriously, at rank 20 you should be beating people using gimmick decks, likle 30 legends. If you can't progress you should seriously stop playing the way you currently are and start learning from your mistakes, maybe even watch the starter player videos trump posted on his youtube channel. 

That's a consequence of aggro decks.  They have no draw power.  If you want a deck where you're more in control I suggest something else :/

I'm scared for the future of the mage class.  I forgot exactly how many important cards were leaving.  Their top 3 decks are getting wrecked hard with this next rotation.

I want to believe this could be addressed but when you look at the other classes there's going to be a lot of gaps to fill in deck types and that's a lot to fit into one themed expansion and still make things fresh.  A class is gonna get the short end of the stick, the question is which one.

Reno priest/mage or freeze mage.  Lots of decisions to make that could win or lose you the game.

If you get wrecked by dragon priest play a reno deck.

Though if it makes you feel better dragon's are losing a lot of support after the rotation.

Um what? Plenty of people want Aggro, there is a reason theres tons of aggro on ladder.

 

Taking aggro out of the game would make for a really bad game. There have to be differing archetypes. Controlstone would be uninstallstone.

 The best games are mid range vs mid range. Obviously sometimes that turns into curvestone but those tend to be the hardest but non lengthy games in the meta.

It's entirely stupid The jade golems are usually treated as if they only cost 2 stats. So only the first Jade card played is fair. But after that everything is unbalanced. There's an easy way to see if a card is fair. If you could put as many of a card in your deck as you wanted, would it be overpowered? The answer is obviously YES when you imagine a deck where every card is Jade Idol.

Mill Rogue: Who really gives a crap about this. It's going to die in the next rotation anyways.

Control Warrior: This will also die out in the next rotation.

Handlock/Giant Handlock: This died when Molten Giant got nerfed.

Now lets get to the real problem here. Pirate Warrior literally killed 3 classes. After Reno rotates out, Warlock will be unplayable. Mage will also be unplayable and Hunter is already unplayable.

Not to mention swamp ooze usually only removes one durability from a weapon when you take into account the likelihood you've already taken a weapon hit.  It's not a broken card in any way, and it's only effective against 4/9 classes.  5 if one of the others plays Medivh

My biggest problem with jade decks is that it not necessarily their power, it's that it single handedly killed any sort of control decks (besides reno) which is causing this aggro pirate cancer meta that we have

Am i the only one looking at those pics thinking the white looks better?

Lap Dogs, All of You!

That was awesome

Quote from Aegis24 >>

People speak of Jade match-ups as some sort of strange new strategy.  Omg you have to be aggressive, no fair.  Congrats, that's how you play card games, exploit a weakness.  There's nothing "wrong" about it.  Each deck type has specific strength and weaknesses.  Personally I'm glad Jade is pushing fatigue decks out of the meta.  The Control Warrior decks were getting so very boring, it's about time they adapt their deck lists.  I'm disappointed tempo mages got diddly squat but Reno mage is quite fun even if it is a bit weaker vs reno priest and warlock.

 What does tempo mage actually need at the moment? Flamewaker is one of the strongest cards in the game, they don't need anything. Control mage/reno on the other hand was struggling. Good on them for finally getting support despite it easily being the weakest kabal deck.

You can't look at deck win rates as see the whole picture either.  That's the average of many many players of all different skill levels and isn't 100% representative of a deck's potential.  Especially when you consider things like pirate warrior which most sane people agree right now isn't going to last and is merely taken advantage of unrefined decks as everyone experiments with the expansion.

good three drops for Renolock:

• Brann Bronzebeard
• Earthen Ring Farseer
• Mind Control Tech
• Kabal Courier

For aggro you can put a Second-Rate Bruiser as possible 3-drop. All these cards can be a substitute for these 3-Drops you are missing.  If that is not enough, post your decklist and we will find you your substitutes, but that's the fun part of Hearthstone to figure out your decks yourself.
