This is why this game will ultimately fail...
I pretty much have a full collection at standard but I hate grinding so much that I no longer play ranked. I just complete the weeklies and that’s it... win or loss is as random as it can get, matchmaking sucks and ensures your win rates stay at 50%, rock papers scissors ensures there are always decks which will beat yours, combine this with matchmaking and there you have it
No one good at the game thinks like this. This mentality is a contributer to your win rate. The same goes for loads of other games as well, rather than accepting responsibility and getting better, players find it easier to blame the game and invent conspiracy theories about the development team rigging things.
This is not unique to Hearthstone, it isn't unique to Blizzard. The same gets aaod in fifa year after year, it's never the player's fault, always the game, always luck, rng etc.
It's way easier to blame the game or bad luck than accept you just aren't as good as you think you are.

Oop. unwinnable game lost because Theotar steals my Denathrius from a 9 card hand, because fucking obviously.
Opponent then rips Dawngrasp the turn they need to do that or die to my followup.
And then it turns out they had their own Denathrius from the start of the game but just never bothered playing it when it was literally lethal for 2 turns in a row.
Mage used to be a fucking cake-walk of a matchup but when Hearthstone decides you lose, you fucking lose.

Lost win-and-in for Legend to a Mage who yolo'd Theotar on 4, stole my Guff and proceeded to cast like 7 Runes of the Archmage while I draw sweet dick all.
Now back at rank 3 because I keep getting drawn against Demon Hunter and Warrior, who apparently lose to everything else EXCEPT Druid so they get paired against me to keep their precious "around 50%" win-rate.

I loathe the card and wish it didn't exist. Getting my win condition nommed by Mutanus feels bad but at least it's only one shot the enemy has and my card is just removed from the game. Theotar gives them 3 shots at it, costs 3 mana less and they get the best card from my hand while giving me garbage.
If it was a class card, I probably wouldn't care as much, but I lost my Legend win-and-in this month to a big-spell Mage stealing my Guff on turn 4 and going nuts with it. Priest/Rogue getting lucky? That's fine, that's their class identity, but the possibility of just any old deck getting lucky and instantly getting your Denathrius / C'Thun / whatever as their reward rubs me the wrong way.

Fuck yeah, 7th time Legend and with the deck I've had the most fun playing in forever. Feels so fuckin' good.

Playing aggro against Priest.
Turn 1 they do nothing
Turn 2 they heal face
Turn 3 they Palm Reading
Turn 4 they Potion of Madness my 2/3, make it a 20/20, clone it then attack me for 40.
Fuck Priest.

I had fun playing this during the set's honeymoon period. :)

Assuming you're talking to me, it was a fan-art of sans from Undertale that my good friend drew for me.

I got an achievement when I finished it, so I guess not.

Well that was uncomfortable.
I did manage to crush Stormwind without summoning the demon though!

Do Blizzard know they can change the design of the front menu of Hearthstone and not just scoop everything past option four into "Other"?! Add more rows or icons or something!
