Anyone else think this game fees like a coin toss now?  Did you streal their win con. ?  You win - did they steal yours?  You lose?

Blizzard need to get rid of OTK from hand and the disruption they've introduced to to try and control it.  It's not fun, there's no skill involved and it makes the game shit.

 I feel this. And it is not fun. These gigantic swings are just awful. Druid down to 6 health and then Brann/Denathrius combo (sometimes not even a combo needed) and then back up to 20 - 40 health. And I'm from 20 - 25 hps then dead or near dead. What happened to games being close?

How about we give every class a unique set of tools to handle damage, healing, and removal? The tools are different and might vary according to class archetype but there is a balance. 

I don't see that anymore.

When do expansions rotate out? Barrens then Stormwind? How long will Renethal and Denathrius be in play?

I will add your suggestion, too, Warsong Commander. TY

Thank you! I will let him try it on mine and then we can craft if he likes it. I may have to try this one, too. :)

Finally getting my husband into Hearthstone. Do you have any recommendations for some easy-to-pilot decks for current meta? He's learning on my account while building up his own collection. I have most standard cards. It does not have to be a net-deck recommendation. Something fun and versatile that would be good for a newbie to standard.

I suggested Face Hunter and Imp Warlock but he doesn't really like it.

Besides helping with the Infuse quest -- this is a really fun deck that I have had some surprising wins with. Thank you! Absolutely brilliant!

82 percent win rate - Casual

This is pretty fun! Thank you. :)

@Yolento I just played the Murloc Control Shaman archetype and -- it really is ridiculous. I had a 50/50 Insatiable Devourer from synergy with the Brilliant McCaw. Granted, I was playing against another shaman and we kept going back and forth stealing minions but even so...The deck has great board control with its freeze mechanic. It does well in early, mid, and late game, and the card draw was excellent.

The deck's win rates outperform their opponent in every match. It is weakest against Evolve Shaman with a 48.5% win rate against that type. Every other match is above 50%. Average Win Rate = 58.5 over 5,200 games.

I hope a balance patch makes this stuff better. I may take a break until the meta settles.

 Can we maybe not use the r---**rd word? It's 2022. Let's be better.

Aside from that, I agree with the OP. I think cards that completely and repeatedly lock an opponent are toxic to the game. 

I know the meta is still settling and people complain a lot about druids -- but they are in upper middle as far as win rates go at the moment. Dominating classes are Hunter, Warlock, Shaman, and Mage with druid fifth. I hope they buff Demon Hunter, Paladin, and Warrior as well as toning down oppressive cards -- druid included if needed. I main a druid but I will always accept nerfs if it means a healthier game.

I just tried this deck for the first time and won against a Spirit Beast Hunter. Your description is accurate. It looked bleak for a while. And then turned around. I didn't even use Xyrella. Fun deck.
