Do people realise that you don't need to netdeck to the last card? Do people realise that swapping out a few cards for different cards won't make the deck bad? I've been guilty of netdecking too, but atleast I make a few swaps and different choices, just for the fun of it, if not for the effectiveness. But when I meet the exact deck over and over again, I can't help but wonder about these people. Do they really feel a necessity to have no input whatsoever for the sake of proven effectiveness? Are they happy with the kind of person they are? Do they not wonder, after meeting their same deck over and over again, if they could have a different experience?
Just copy the deck and look for cards that are replaceable. There are bound to be some. And then just try your luck. Replacing one twilight acolyte with harrison won't make the deck bad. Replacing one rallying blade with truesilver won't make the deck bad. Trying to slightly alter the objective of the deck, won't make the deck bad. Just try it.
Exactly. I run a Spiteful Priest as my main deck, but I have a few cards in there that aren't in most of the lists (eg. Crazed Alchemist, Faceless Manipulator, Vicious Fledgling) because I like people to get a bit confused, while giving myself extra options at the same time. Quote enjoyable watching someone sitting there pressing the Voidlord or Lich King that I just summoned for 5 mana.
The sheer amount of people that get confused when I drop Dreadscale is amazing. As is the fact that one three drop that got ignored entirely can win games singlehandedly :P You should have flex spots in most decks, though; if you're not tweaking for meta changes, then you're not doing it right. Also throws off priests and their glimmerroots! Back when i played freezemage, there was only one flex spot, but even combo decks like that have them. Also worth messing with flex spots to see what fits your playstyle!
With that said, I'm playing a homebrew, so not really relevant ATM.
I shit you not, ive been running a spitefull priest deck, with lorewalker cho. I love seeing people wonder what the heck is that card capable of, and check it with the mouse :"DDD i won't lie, didn't make it above rank 15, always got my ass beaten by some fella sucking on the penis of our lord and savior Rngesus, but boy, was it hella fun?
Casual is full of meta decks now. I hate people doing it. Pinnacle of being an asshole.
It's even worse when you're playing a basic deck to try to get rid of a quest and even though they can almost certainly see that, they just go to face and kill you off asap. Whenever I play casual I try to let the battle last as long as possible, whether I'm winning or losing. I've lost battles that I was dominating because of this, but it's casual so who cares really ? Oh yeah, Warlock players do...

I'm just tired. I'm tired of kingsblade, I'm tired of cubelock, I'm tired of res priests. It's all I see. I actually *welcome* dudeadins because it's a break from the decks that are impossible to beat if they get any momentum at all, like jade druid. I would even say they're worse than jade druid simply because there's no way to work against their gimmicks. Jade druid could at least have skulking geist against them but there's no way to 'silence' a weapon. There's no way to interact with an opponents graveyard short of polymorph/hex and there just aren't enough copies. So at this point I'm just bored. I'll win the occasional game against a random deck but when more than half of them are the exact same mega-combo decks I'm just not having fun anymore.
As much as I despise the "uninstalling, bye" gag. Yeah, I'm gone.
Silence a weapon is definitely a tech that needs to be introduced with the legendary weapons being a part of the game. If they all (or even just a couple more) become playable, hearthstone will suck.
Dude Paladin. I just love how, despite clearing his board FOUR TIMES, despite me still sitting at 30 health after turn 12, he still finished the game with 7 3/3 Recruits with taunt and divine shield. Beautiful. Amazing. Not OP at all.
Nah, honestly, I'm mostly a priest player and I find that the decks that I struggle most against are tempo mage and aggro druid. Midrange Hunter can also beat Priest into submission quick enough for Priest to get a hold on the game.
Finally reached rank 15, decided to have a bit of fun with a Spiteful Paladin deck i made for a few days.
First battle? Jade Druid. Regret not teching the Geist into my deck now, would have had him if I had. Guy got lucky draws all game, and then finished with a "Masterful" when he made lethal, despite me saying "well played". Why be such a dick?
If anyone on the EU server comes up against a Jade Druid piloted by a username that matches a rogue-specific ability, give him a good smashing from me please.
Edit: I don't expect free wins because I'm playing something off-meta by the way. Just don't understand why someone has to BM while they're playing a deck as brainless as Jade Druid.
THE HELL TURN 2 A 12/12 RADIANT ELEMENTAL. TURN 2!!!! HOW THE HELL IS IT POSSIBLE!!!! A 12/12 TURN 2!!!!!
I believe turn 2 28/28 is technically possible. Coin Radiant into double PWS (2/7), turn 2 double Divine Spirit for 2 mana (2/28) Inner Fire for 0 mana (28/28).
I would actually smash my phone to bits if that ever happened against me.
On Thursday and Friday, my two quests were Play 75 murlocs (100 gold quest, didn't even know it existed) and Win 5 games with Paladin. Naturally, I had to play a murloc paladin. I think I went like 16-4 over the weekend (went from rank 8 to rank 5 pretty easily finally).
Everyone, I am sorry. Blizzard made me do it.
Ah, the Murlocalypse. A good friend of mine.
Although my Murloc Paladin is seriously basic, so I never take it to ladder. It would get destroyed.

Beating a Kingsbane Mill Rogue just never, ever gets old. The one deck I truly hate. Destroyed by my homebrew Elemental Mage on turn 8. Goodbye.

Beat an exodia mage after they played FOUR Ice Blocks. She panicked and played Time Warp way too early. Lost the combo as a result. Happy days.

How to counter priest? Play Priest.
