I am slightly dissapointed by jade druids all over my ladder. I cant force myself play ladder anymore. Probably i will stop on rank 20 next month. I am little angry and sad because of losestreaks to jade druids. 

curses on you, jade druids!

I have just uninstalled the game from all of my devices.

3 3-3 arenas in a row because of unbelievable bullshit and inconceivable luck on my opponents' part

I am not playing poorly, I am playing with very few misplays and thinking carefully about each move.

Coupled with how awful standard metagame is right now, ostensibly because

A. Nobody tests this game...

B. The people who test this game are idiots who suck at game design...

OR

C. The people who test this game are hardcore casuals who enjoy losing.

And come on, this is yet another instance of me facing a druid with absolutely outrageous cards

I mean, 2 ramps with Jade Idol and when I start actually controlling the board he plays Spreading plague, which i clear, then he plays Infestation, kills my only guy, draws 5.

Next guy was a warlock who did the same thing with DOOM then played Bloodreaver.

WHAT DID THIS DECK LOSE TO TO BE 3-1!?!?! can I get some actually feasible 3-1 decks instead of constructed quality idiocy!?!?!

No, I concede. Blizzard isn't getting another cent out of me. I'm going to go play a game that actually rewards skill rather than punishing bad luck.

I have one to top all the rest.

I'm currently 1-2 with a 70 point paladin deck that looks like this www.heartharena.com/arena-run/07t49d

For those not inclined, I've got Tarim, I've got Death Knight, Bonemare, Volcanosaur, Spikeridged steed, peacekeeper, 2 rallying blade smuggler's run, even good fillers like protector, yeti, worgen etc.

For all intents and purposes, this deck really should win no fewer than 5 games, having a wide assortment of decent cards and more than enough power in the late game.

So in round 1 i get a really herp derp lucky mage that's playing BS mage shit, meteor etc. he gets super lucky and gets lich king off of stonehill defender and out values everything Oh well, they drew better quality cards so whatever. probably an 8+ win mage first goddamn game

Rd 2 almost lose to a shammy who just completely curves perfectly and has dumb shit too but I play eggnapper into Tarim and he doesn't play around tarim so i win anyway.

Round 3 is a druid

He plays turn 1 Enchanted raven into turn 2 mark of the wild, killing my turn 1 coined 2 drop, then proceeds to drop Aya on turn 4 with innervate then equips both golems with mark of the wilds # 2 and 3 and Strongshell scavenger to kill me on turn fucking six while i can't do anything

Just wow...

I usually get around 6-7 wins inb4 play better, and this guy wasn't a long queue or anything. I mean 1-1?!?!?!?!

Druid actually deserves an around the board nerf to all of their bollocks. I play arena so I don't have to play against cancerous jade and aggro druid decks, and i don't expect to see 12-0 better than constructed decks at 1-1 ffs

C'thun, Vek'lor, Shieldbearer, Disciple, Chosen. All good cards. I actually think the cultists are a good reason to run C'thun, rather than the other way around.

I dunno man. If I try for volume arena, I always finish like 5 wins or so, when I do it every so often, it's like 7+ wins.

Varian is bad tbh. Unless you want to play tempo warrior, there's no reason to enchant him. The latter would be better, particularly if they are the last good cards from classic/TGT you need. Classic is a giant set an unless you have TGT, there is little purpose in buying a lot of those packs just for one specific epic. Tome, you might try to open more WOG to get. If you need it now though, it is probably worth the dust.

 Let me know which part confused you and perhaps I can break it down for you.

Okay. I can't seem to comprehend why you are mega super salty about a very good outcome..? But I guess you are annoyed by the RNG circus that is this weeks brawl? In that case I can relate.

 

I pulled Tinkmaster Overspark. I hate tinkmaster. He always makes my minion worse but my opponent's minion better. It's actually hilarious how bad my luck is with it. I recorded my results in 25 games with tinkmaster and only once did it hit the right target and turn it into the right thing.

Fuck Tinkmaster Overspark.

On the positive side, though, now I have the worst card (for me) in the game.

Ben Brode pls nerf Hotdog, is too op.

As title.

Control plays as linearly as aggro. While you have to worry about is clearing a board, aggro worries about their board getting cleared. And guessing what board clears are in your hand is a lot harder than looking at the board and counting the health of enemy minions.

 

And you'll say oh, but Aggro can win just by dropping a perfect early curve if I have no answers. Right, you'll lose if they open a good hand and you open a garbage one. The same applies for literally any other deck.

And then people think,  oh Aggro only goes face, so that's just dumb. Well no, they don't.  It only feels that way because you never put down a board to trade into, or otherwise the trades are so horribly inefficient that it makes no sense to.

 

So yeah, no deck is harder to play than any other deck, now let's all enjoy this horrible children's card game.

If you want to win, get the card that you can use in the most decks with success.

Yogg is the most fun card in the game as far as I'm concerned, but you need a decent deck to make it work. I will say though, it is a good choice for a player without the strongest decks, since it is going to be a lot better in decks that want to win/stabilize from behind.

N'zoth sorta needs Cairne and Sylvanas to be worthwhile.

Fandral is good but only if Druid is your top deck.

If you don't have Ragnaros, Cairne, Sylvanas, or Harrison, I would get those first, unless you want to yogg for fun.

Poorness, poorness in my collection.

Opened : 

King Krush

Tirion Fordring

Deathwing

Sylvanas Windrunner

Yogg-Saron, Hope's End

Crafted :

Justicar Trueheart

had Ragnaros the Firelord but younger brother disenchanted

That's actually a good collection man. You can do a lot with that.

Seriously, about 85% of my legendaries are specific to maybe 1-2 archetypes. Sylvanas is awesome, Yogg is very good for decks that want to play from behind, Tirion is superb, sorry about your Rag though. Krush is actually a leg I would like to have, I managed to get Gaz and Dreadscale, but neither of them is as good (Gaz is good but usually off of webspinner/Tomb Spider)

The best part is that you are probably going to keep getting stuff you don't have to worry too much about duplicates.

Yeah, it sucks. I was pretty sure I was going to win the game but when your opponent has every answer in arena, it is soul crushing.

Don't craft it unless it is pretty much the only thing you are missing or if you really like to play control and/or spend a lot of money and time getting cards.

That being said, Alex is so good in this deck that even not having Tony or thalnos is a mere setback, rather than a limitation that would kill the deck. She is also very good in a wide variety of control-style warrior decks and all sorts of dragon decks can use her as well.

If you want to build any of these decks, Enchanting Alex is a very good idea.

So yeah this thread is dead, but excuse me while I post this game I just had because it really doesn't go anywhere else.

2-1 so far, pair up against warrior. Somehow get over everything, holding some hate for possible plays(torch and Swamp ooze). I eventually stabilize the board with more cards than he has. Play master jouster, lose the joust, but against pretty weak stuff. I am ahead at this point, found a blizzard off of Arcanist. He plays Dr. Boom (last opponent was also a warrior with a legendary at 2-0). Jouster+Blizzard to clear the board. Boom bots hit me for 7 down to 10 life. Play Harvest golem into an open board. Opponent has 4 cards and I have 6. Opponent plays Psych-o-tron. I ping+boost with Abusive Sergeant to clear it. I have 2 2/1s

I want you to guess what happens next

That's right Ravaging ghoul. Then plays a stormwind champion. I play sludge belcher+Duplicate as my last hope at this point (10 life)

he plays Eater of Secrets.

I have never seen anybody lucksack so hard.If this happened in a paper tournament I would call a judge because there is no way anybody should be that lucky.

 Remove N'zoth and Sylvanas. Add Yogg-Saron and the Boogeymonster.

In all seriousness, Yeah, Tomb Pillager is good. I would tend towards running fewer Deathrattles because the sheer value of N'zoth does hit a critical point. Quality over quantity is a good thing, and on this deck, Sylvanas should be your #1 craft/pull priority, even higher than Cairne Bloodhoof, Xaril, Poisoned Mind etc.

Polluted Hoarder is pretty bad and Golem is meh. Focus on a decent curve, since a deck like this can make up for lacking power with the right amount of initiative.

I personally like Sap simply because it is a very strong counter to Midrange/aggro shaman and taunts. It really depends on how aggressive/tempo-driven your playstyle is.

All this being said, I actually think that this deck is one of the few where not having a 100% list is not the end of the world. Good luck
