If you think this was a clever move, you apparently forgot about how Kazakus, Raza the Chained, Inkmaster Solia and Krul the Unshackled were introduced one expansion before Reno Jackson would rotate out.
The developers admitted back then, that they thought this was the perfect time: Have some crazy good Reno decks in Standard, but only for a short while. Zul'JIn is much the same, with most of Hunter's spellpower coming from KnC.

Most of the friends requests I get are legit. Personally I dont mind accepting them. If they flame I see it as something to be proud of, I got them so tilted they feel the need to do that. And if not, that is someone new to play with.

Power - Bloodreaver Gul'dan
Emotes - Scourgelord Garrosh
Art - Valeera the Hollow
But we all know the best hero (card) in the game is Magni Bronzebeard!

We can dust the set after it goes to wild,also if we play daily we can get 40-60 gold+55 gold quest(average),and you can make 1 pack a day with ease,3 months until next xpac=> 90x100=9k gold,if you buy the small pre-purchase you get 107 packs+6 at release(and maybe 1 extra more for some event like we had this xpac) and you get 114 packs. After you disenchant the garbage cards+ golden ones you have everything.Blizzard business model is free=wait and have patience months and months and not free=get all you want in 1 2 days.I have a good collection and spend very very little."Patience is the greatest virtue!".

OTK pally is autowin against secret and spell hunters. I think I never won a game against that as hunter no matter what I draw.
I'm playing OTK pally right now, would definitely not say it's auto-win.
It is one of the better decks statistically against many of the hunter decks however. Apart from that - Clone Priest, Even Pally are both good.
Odd Warrior and Odd Quest Warrior are good against some Hunter decks but poor vs others.

Its actually better to run both in your spell hunter deck. Rexxar is a strong value card and will turn your deck from aggressive into control. Zul'jin is a strong tempo card that let's you make a huge turn, but that's it.
You can play spell hunter without any of them, but your winrate will be higher if at least one of them is included in your deck. In my opinion, Rexxar is still better.

Quote from Deadfromneckup >>Hey so I have a gold The Marsh Queen card, but I haven't been able to find any decks for it that are right for me. Should I dust for Deathstalker Rexxar? I would really like to dust for Deathstalker Rexxar.
If you're F2P and don't have that much spare dust, I wouldn't really recommend crafting cards that will rotate to wild in 4 months. But if you're planning to play wild then getting rid of hunter's quest and crafting Rexxar DK is a good choice. Card is strong and fun to play.

Not viable in ranks 5 and up. Can see it being good at lower ranks though.

Cheap deck

my favorites are Thrall, Deathseer, Deathstalker Rexxar, Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Malfurion the Pestilent, and Zul'jin. but i had to pick Thrall, Deathseer, he is my all time favorite, but i do wish it was multiple choice.

It's a safe bet that the 5 missing cards are: Rafaam, 2 x Carpet, and 2 x EVIL Genius.

For me it's hands down Deathstalker Rexxar. Not only is it a really strong card, which by itself can win you most control matchups, but the hero power is simply tons of fun. Mind you I haven't had a chance to play with most of the hero cards, but I maintain my vote for DK Rexxar based on the gameplay I've seen of the other hero cards.
In terms of the ones I wish I had a chance to try there are 3 actually Uther in a Horsemen OTK deck, Anduin in Razakus, and Guldan in Cubelock.

That is certainly an approach worth considering. That said at the time I invested into Odd Paladin it was actually considered a tier 2 deck in most classifications. And the other deck I've recently invested into namely Spell Hunter was too early of a call in terms of meta not being settled at the time I went for it. I have in the past invested into tier 2 deck and I think your advice is sound, thanks.

I think Blizzard should cease to nerf cards. In my opinion it disproportionately affects f2p players including yours truly, so I should probably acknowledge subjectivity at this point lol. Sure, you get a full refund on the nerfed card, but you don't get it on other cards you crafted for that particular competitive deck to which the nerfed card belongs. And this is a problem because most f2p players have only one or two viable decks at their disposal at any given time. I personally find changing the meta every time you print new cards sufficient enough. Let people have some fun and run rampant with some powerful decks for a while. What's wrong with that. Mind you, I grew up playing HoM&M 3, so I'm used to imbalanced mechanics being present, but I think they can be fun. Alternatively instead of nerfing some cards, buff some cards in order to improve the balance. It can provide the same effect without effectively removing the decks people invested in from play and as an additional bonus no need to provide refunds of any kind. What do you guys think?

I'd have to disagree, I've tried casual and most of the time you face unrefined really more arena-like than constructed decks. It's a very different experience and to me not in a good way, even if trying to complete a quest I'd rather sacrifice some stars and do it in ranked then play casual. Not to mention the fact that some people just concede as soon as they've completed their quest.

Let me first acknowledge those of you who have provided civil and insightful replies, you validate my faith in humanity. To those who, lightly put, were not-so-civil I'd just say you might be surprised but how you treat others often ends up having an impact on how others treat you or what goes around comes around.
Just a few replies here, not gonna quote anyone in order to avoid making this post too long. While I understand that Blizzard primarily caters to paying players and find that justifiable and am also aware of the wild format, it remains the case that most of HS playerbase is f2p and that most people choose to play standard. I am also perfectly aware that one can amass a very significant portion of cards while being f2p, that said I believe it requires playing pretty much every single day for roughly 3 hours or so, which is something that many people including myself cannot do or do not wish to do. While I can see reason to argument that if you're not willing to either spend the money or invest the time, then you have no basis to complain, I do think that the game and the way the balance changes are handled could be more f2p friendly. I am also aware that it is very unlikely to happen. Finally, regarding people saying that buffs instead of nerfs couldn't accomplish the same goal I dare to disagree, the argument presented in the replies was that then everything would be overpowered... well, if everything is overpowered, then by the very definition nothing is, or in other words you actually also end up having balance.
EDIT: Just one thing I wanna come straight about. I did play Odd Paladin, it was one of my two viable decks, the other being Spell Hunter. Did I craft them because they were self-piloted tier 1 decks (on a side note I believe all decks require skill to play well)? No. I went for those because I already had the cards and they were by far the cheapest among competitive decks (i.e. tier 1 or tier 2, though could see myself giving a tier 3 deck a try too). There's a whole lot of other decks I'd love to play like Even Paladin, DK OTK Paladin, Odd Mage, just to name the few on top of my list, but I cannot and likely will not be able to afford them. It's worth keeping in mind that most people make their deck choices not based on their preferred playstyle, but based on what they can actually afford. And no, I'm not obsessed about my rank as illustrated by me having wasted dust in the past on the likes of Hemet, Hunter Quest, and Warrior Quest, but it is a reality that noone, be it an f2p or a paying player, likes to play a deck that constantly looses.

Nothing's wrong with you. Pretty much any game is likely to feel stale after you put 10k hours into it. And you should probably prioritize other things over HS or any other game for that matter, the exception might be if you make a living off of playing the game, which admittedly very few people do. Take a break and then maybe check back after some time to see if you'd like to continue. Otherwise, find something else to spend your free time on, there's many other great games, as well as other great hobbies outside of gaming, many of which can also satisfy your need for competing.

Imo a single win condition Horseman OTK is better and the early data seems to support it.

As to people asking for making room for Shrivalah, I think including it makes no sense. Shrivalah is a win condition, which requires you to draw out all of your deck and plus one or two turn on top of that. And still you might not kill heavy armor classes (admittedly, most likely you will). More importantly though, if you have already drawn out your whole deck, then you can simply win with Horsemen, so what's the point of Shrivalah then?

I agree with removing Unleash and Revenge, but not with removing the Bow, it's way too strong to forego. I too run 2 copies of Secret Plan, Deadly Shot, and Tracking.
