Many people are probably shocked that the meta shifted from Gadgetzan Kabal/control classes to heavier value generating decklists on average. Definitely the top-deck turns are more impacting when decks are heavier. The skill should come from knowing when to put pressure on face (I know, the place right?) to prevent those BS topdecks. But that's going to take more time/runs to master than in other metas
Just hit Rk5 with mostly Murloc Pally (28-18) & Secrets Mage (28-15) this season. Both can snowball minions pretty hard. Both can consistently steamroll the greedy decks (Tnt Warrior, J.Druid & Quest Rogue) and do well in the mirror against their mid-range counterparts. No techs, no crabs, no eaters. Just 2 Stonehill Defender in Pally to fend off pirate warriors (3-3). Helps protect snowball too. Only bad matchup is Shaman; win streak buzzkiller, but I only saw them 13% so not a huge deal.
Control just doesn't seem to work well in this meta. "Uninstall" control decks?? "Re-install" curvestone??
Really hard choice. IMHO F2Players don't need golden legendaries. I never disenchant anything, ever. But my only golden leg (Foe Reaper 4000) was clearly worth the dust 1 for 1.
Fandral however, was a tier 1 WOG craft. Even if you don't have a ranked Druid deck now, he'll always be nuts in casual & wild. Good for completing Druid quests every now and then. Over time, you'll appreciate a more diverse card collection.
But if your classic leg collection is severely lacking the staples, I wouldn't mind you dust to craft Tirion, Antonidas or VanCleef if you prefer Pally, Mage or Rogue.
TBH Lyra at 4 mana wouldn't be any better than what Fandral Staghelm currently is (MidRange auto-include). Depends on class, but still, Blizzard, get real.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm rooting for Hunter to keep the incoming elemental/taunt meta in check. No more Quick Shot though. But realistically you can't go wide when Shaman has 4 different AoEs at their disposal now with Volcano.
Not a forced archetype; We'll need to be creative to build a deck that works in practice. To buff efficiently, we need extra early-game minions/ tokens...
Hmmmm.... wait! Guys, there's this obscure legendary card called Patches the Pirate, have you heard of it!?!?
29-9 from rank 14 to 5. New meta Dr. 5, into Dr. 6. Utterly rampaging. I don't have Wickerflame Burnbristle. +1 Aldor Peacekeeper is a good sub. Had to work my butt off to go 4-3 vs. pirate warrior though. Noble Sacrifice can be clutch late game!

Stopped at 1-1 (2-1) with mid-range Mage. First game: Hunter with Vicious Fledgling on curve. I stabilize with 6 health. Second game: Paladin w/ 3 Dinosize. Silvermoon Portal into Millhouse Manastorm along the way. Empty handed, top-decks Mind Control Tech and takes Bog Creeper.
Easy 7 wins you say? What arena is that? I'd like to know :)

Trading in for Quest Mage. It's about time (no pun intended?)!

The PURIFIER- Quest: Humongous Razorleaf into Faceless Shambler. Reward: "I choose Death"
It took a Journey to Un'Goro, to find the Last Kaleido-unicorn? Went 7-2 at rank 8 against mostly aggro decks. Just dodge hard removal. Good times :)

Even better idea: Small-Time Recruits synergy with Runic Egg. Very efficient cycle for the quest!
