Playing since summer 2014, haven't spend a dime on the game, total f2p player.

Got all adventure legendaries, Old Murk Eye and C'Thun.

Crafted legendaries: Vol'jin, Archmage Antonidas, Sylvannas, Ysera, Dr. Boom, Justicar Trueheart, Harrison Jones

Found in packs: Nat Pagle, Nat Darkfisher, Chogall, Malygos, Tyrion, Grommash Hellscream, Troggzor, Bloodmage Thalnos, Captain Greenskin, Anubarak, Sneed's, Baron Geddon, Mistcaller, Bolf Ramshield, Black Knight, Milhouse Manastorm

With the new standard/wild distinction I gotta reconsider my dusting policy. Until now I only dusted spare cards, not caring about golden cards so dusting those as well if I got 2 regular ones.

I meant Animated Armor, not Arcane Armor; oopsie ;).

Hey guys,

I think I made a really good deck for Tavern Brawl this week, got 8 wins and 0 losses so far and not one of the games was close. So I thought I'd share it :). Feedback and experiences are appreciated!

Willing to update with more information as interest grows.

So didn't get to play yesterday, but today I got on and all the C'thun druids are gone and the game is infested with Zoolocks, haha (rank 4).

Very strong deck it seems, having a really hard time against it. That 3 mana 1/5 can get out of control real fast. Also that tentacle spell suddenly makes Relinquary Seeker a good card.

I'm playing a Thrall Ketchum deck. Lots of battlecry cards with sub-par stats make for good evolution targets: Tuskarr, Defender of Argus, Fire Elemental, Azure Drake, Black Knight (!!), BGH. And Thing From Below evolves into a 7-drop.

The meta's not showing much variation where i play though (rank 4 now). Seeing a lot of C'thun Druid (I think about 50% of my games are vs them).

Seeing absolutely no paladin, hunter & priest. Rogue, Warlock, Shaman (aggro & evolve decks) and Control C'thun Warrior are present.

I hardly lose against C'Thun decks though. Most of the time can't hold the board control against Shaman and lose by the time they play their C'thun. Only ones doing good are Warriors with lots of armor (got no burst in my deck). The Druid ones are only a nuisance for me if they manage to innervate out something good early on.

Trump, Kolento & Strifecro.

Kolento took me some time to appreciate (partly because he was hard to understand at first) but I've grown on him and I think he's hilarious and educational. He also doesn't seem to care much about popularity.

I also rather enjoy Day9's clips in some funniest videos compilations; I don't watch his stream tho.

Dislike watching any stream that takes song requests, ugh...

Even though you could have worded it different I have to agree with:

• Warsong Commander wasn't the problem, Frothing Berserker was; they should have changed the mechanic that as soon as a minion gets over 3 attack it loses the charge. Even with the nerf now they could atleast drop the mana cost of Warsong Commander to 2. A 2/3 minion that gives your charged minions +1 attack doesn't seem OP to me at 2 mana
• Paladin is becoming a problem, the amount of threats they have is too damn high. On top of that, unlike against Mage & Hunter you cannot play around it's secrets as well since Competitive Spirit puts you on a timer & Noble Sacrifice makes sure Avenge triggers. Personally I would love to see the Light's Justice disappear from Muster for Battle and see Mysterious Challenger's stats lowered to 5/4.

I actually think it's ok that you cannot reliably mulligan against a class tho. I mean, I would like to see each class have atleast 2 different archetype decks (wishful thinking maybe). Till now it was mostly Warlock which was very hard to mulligan seeing as the two most popular decktypes a while ago were zoo and handlock which required a totally different mulligan from your part.

I've been playing 100% dragon priest this season (currently at rank 8) and Handlock is by far the worst match-up for it.

Control/Midrange paladin comes in second, they just have so many win conditions it's hard to deal with every last one of them. Secret pally is actually an easy (?) match-up for dragon priest, maybe my deck is  more suited for it idk, I run a self-made deck.

I'm about 60/40 against Control Warrior so I wouldnt say it's a bad match-up. I played a control priest deck to rank 6 right after GvG release and Control Warrior was a nightmare then.

Also: From the classes that are played the most at the moment (Pally, Mage, Hunter & Warrior) Hunter is by far the easiest, not a 50/50 match-up at all (both face and midrange).

Haven't run into enough freeze mages yet to elaborate about that match-up.

F2p player so only opened 21 packs bought with gold I had saved:

7 epics, 1 legendary (Mistcaller)

Wailing Soul to be best anti-Paladin card?

Hi all,

First of all let me say I'm a fairly new player (started last summer) and I'm a f2p player so my access to legendaries is severely limited (only got Sylvanna's & Nat Peagle as neutral legendaries).

So with the GvG release the Shrinkmeister card took my attention and I thought it'd be fun to make a deck around it. It's going pretty well, reaching rank 6 as a top but now hovering around 7-8. The problem with the deck is that it seems impossible to win certain (popular) match-ups. Handlock and Warrior are the ones I'm talking about.

So I'm asking for two things here:

1) Some tips on how to improve my deck (as in: what cards I should replace). I can craft non-legendary cards, I have some dust and gold lying around and I'm more than decent at arena to get some more.

2) Some tips on how to play vs these classes.

Decklist is inserted, I used to run two zombie chows to deal with hunters, mages, zoolock, etc. But the amount of warriors and handlocks made me drop those. It does make me a bit more weak against aggro tho.

Especially Handlock is a problem because it's hard to mulligan vs a class that has two totally different playstyles. I try to mulligan for SW:Pain + Shrinkmeister because it deals with twilight and is a decent draw against zoolock. I'd like to go for injured + circle but i think that's no goods vs zoo. Either way, I get beaten hard by handlock atm, hardly standing any chance.

Warrior: I try to mulligan for Dark Cultist because it survives the Axe and then try to put the pressure on. SW:Pain is also a keeper because I can easily kill his acolyte of pain (and in some cases his armorsmith) and deny his card draw/armor. The problem is the Alexstraza + Grommash combo. Shieldmaiden has also become a problem because it's hard to get anything on the board vs warrior and I feel like I need to save my SW:Death for other things. My plan is always to keep a Sludge Belcher in my hand to play right after the Alexstraza turn, but I often find myself playing it earlier for multiple reasons.

Thanks in advance.
