Egg druid is still not the best deck, you can easily streak in the upper ranks to rank 5 even fairly easily. Egg druid gets beat by shaman and freeze mage easily. Egg druid might even be worse this expansion because it got minimal upgrades or sidegrades. It was a solid tier 2 deck last expansion.

The real issue with wild is the lack of skilled competitive players compared to standard. It makes the format more casual, which is great for some people but if you want to stream or play competitively wild is not really an option unless you enjoy poor viewers. Hopefully with the heroic tavern brawl coming up and the expansion aging more people will play wild.  At the upper ranks most players are just experimenting with incredibly greedy decks or older decks like mech mage. Compared to standard where you see high level competitive decks at rank 20.

The power level has increased in the latest expansions, especially msog that many of the older op cards aren't even played much. Dr. boom is rarely seen and the once terrifying secret mage is no longer on top. Piloted shredder is actually considered too slow for many decks. The decks that benefit the most from a huge card pool are the reno decks and last expansion renolock was the best deck. The defensive tools available actually sort of limit the amount a deck can dominate. You have powerful heals and powerful taunts in wild that can counter any deck. I doubt wild will ever get to the point where you die before you get your first turn like some other card games because blizzard would step in.

He cheated for his team in a tournament, he also viewbotted his channel earlier in his career. I think people would be more forgiving if he didn't engage in such childish behavior on twitter.

Shields up... Red alert Cobalt Guardian still garbage though

Not really it's the best card in the deck. You can try Harvest Golem but it's not nearly as good. If you aren't facing a lot of shamans Forbidden Ritual can be decent.
