Because honestly, Quest Shaman is powerful, but not oppressive or unbeatable. Aggro Combo Priest is still at the top of the meta. Quest Shaman is just the most played deck despite not being the most powerful deck.

There are times when I absolutely hate this game. It infuriates me like no other I’ve ever played. Earlier this week I actually uninstallled the game from my phone in a rage after losing to like five warriors in a row. 

At the same time some games I play are truly exciting, different and memorable and filled with so many ups and downs. I’ve won games from positions that seemed impossible and have had several hour long games of super greedy value control vs super greedy value control that have been thrilling regardless of whether I won or lost. This game gives is an emotional rollercoaster unlike any other I’ve ever played. 

You cant have one without the other. Accept the fact that sometimes this game will make you want to smash your head against the wall and break you pc, other times it will be an absolute joy and memories of those games will stay with you for a long time. 

This fucking game makes me crazy and I love it. Wouldn’t have it any other way. 

 This exactly. My girlfriend wonders why I still play despite how insanely mad I get at times, and this is exactly why.

Flux didn't decline. He was told they wouldn't sell to him despite his interest in continuing the site. Then a third party stepped in and bought HeathPwn and several other sites in the deal. Flux had his own site up and running by then though.

Blizzard has ruined the game again. They gave Warrior way too many strong cards that synergize entirely too well while leaving them one of the few classes with a hero class card. Next time Blizzard, either print hero cards for every class or just do away with the damn things entirely. Make up your minds already. I'm tired of losing game after game because my opponent can counter any play I make with stupid, overpowered hero abilities. Dr. Boom needs to go. Hagatha needs to go. Zuljin needs to go. And o hope somebody takes down the damn HSreplay. I'm tired of seeing the same damn deck again and again and again. [/salt]

Why not run Sea Giant instead of Mountain Giant since the idea is to flood the board anyway?

I find myself disagreeing that all the cards you list are worthless as legendaries. While they may not see a lot of play in the current meta, they one and all have effects which can make them quite influential given the right deck. That influence may or may not be beneficial if you're simply looking to ladder, but may yet bear fruit with newer cards or in unusual circumstances. You specifically mention Hex Lord Malacrass. I have used him quite a lot in a Big Spell Mage deck, and the extra copies of cards he provides has pulled a win out for me on many occasions where I would otherwise have been destroyed. Most opponents just don't expect a third Polymorph or a second Zilliax magnefied to the first. Two Lich Kings... Oh yes. The same thing goes for Archmage Arugal. Put him in an Elemental Mage deck and combo with Book of Specters and you can fill your hand with extra copies of powerful synergistic minions. I have a friend who successfully made use of The Darkness in a Shark Rogue deck... The Storm Bringer is extremely effective many times in an Even Token Shaman setup... Halazzi, the Lynx is played in many Mid-range Hunter lists... Warmaster Voone is standard in many Dragon Control Warrior decks... While many of them may not be Tier 1 decks, they still have their place in the meta, and they still have powerful effects. That's why they're legendaries. Not just because they are all the best cards, but because of their power. Hopefully your next legendary will be more to your liking, but I for one still want these unique and powerful cards in my collection.

I don't care as much about wild because I'm a newer player, and simply don't have many wild cards. If all the cards I have are from the standard pool, playing in wild puts me at a severe disadvantage. That said, if I can manage to fill out my collection in standard, I may well look to add more wild cards so that I could play in that mode as well.

My biggest issue with this brawl is it kind of leaves newer players and players who don't play wild out in the cold. I've been playing just a few months, and frankly, I don't have hardly any wild cards. Did go and buy the new wild pack collection they were offering, so I had a few to play, but it does still suck not having the collection to draw from. I would have much rather seen something where they offered a present collection of cards to choose from so it doesn't punish people without wild cards as badly. I luckily did finally manage to win with a thief rogue after several run-ins with hyper aggressive mech decks, but it didn't feel that fun to me.

I frequently test out new decks in casual just so I know how they perform and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Doesn't matter if it's a tier 1 netdeck or just some homebrew meme deck, I see casual as a place where you can try new things without your rank on the ladder suffering. So yeah, feel free to play whatever deck you like. Some people just get a bit salty when they lose.

I know it would be practically impossible... You'd have to get a Temporus from a random card, and somehow reduce the costs enough, but I was wondering what would happen if you could play Temporus after using the Mage quest... Would it skip your opponents turns and give you 3 turns?

Both.

I really admire Flux, and i want OOC to succeed. But I won't give up on this site yet. The new moderators deserve a shot.

I've only ever accepted one 'after match' friend request ever.

I'm always at rank 20 since I don't grind out the ladder all that much and I was matched against a guy who very clearly just started playing the game maybe for a couple of days. I had far superior cards and combo's and he dropped Chillwind Yeti on turn 4...

Naturally the match was very 1 sided, but on my final turn where I had him dead to rights, I simply hit the concede button. He sent a friend request asking why I did that, even he could see that I won and I told him straight. "You obviously just started the game, it's not fun for me playing against somebody who's still trying the game out and I know for a fact that it ain't gonna be fun for you to get rofl stomped when you don't have a lot of cards, I can always get the wins back".

We stayed in touch and I helped him with the ropes of the game, built him a very cheap hunter deck and a fairly good zoolock. He's still active on my friends-list and we chat from time to time.

How about...Can we have a "Clear new cards" button. Or a See "new cards", and where are our achievements. Still blows my mind that a game this old doesn't have an achievements screen.

 You can search "new" in your collection to find them and clear the tag

Sorry to the person I picked - you're not gonna have a good tournament now my friend but I need that pack :)

For the OP:
I wouldn't say people "hate" Wild, but possibly that they either:
1) don't have the card collection to compete
2) Stick to standard because that is where most of the pro-competition is at

And as far as people saying, "Don't worry, it will rotate soon", those are the people that like to play Standard.

But that's just my opinion. 

I don’t think that people “hate” wild, it’s just not relevant to anyone but the most hardcore collectors and players. As a F2P guy who started HS this year, and who can barely keep up with each new expansion, Wild is a format that I’m realistically never going to play unless blizzard does the obvious thing and makes old packs available at a 50-75% reduced cost

People like the one who flamed you should understand that a lot of players using "meta" decks in Casual are either testing the deck before laddering or trying to complete a quest and/or the 100g daily limit. They're not there just to piss their opponent off by playing a "meta" deck.

If their "off-meta" decks lose to "meta" decks, they shouldn't be surprised either.

The main problem is a lot of people expect different things from Casual mode. It can be a rumble of ranked, it can be a meme matchup, it can be a homebrew hodown, or anything in between.

Bottom line is, don't feel bad about playing anything in Casual, that's what the mode is there for.

edit: Also, etiquette and Hearthstone shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. (lol)

This pretty much kills odd Paladin. (Which sucks for me because that was my best ranked climbing deck.)
Know any other easy ranked climbing decks that aren't full of legendary/epic cards?  (Yeah, didn't think so.)

Umm...People play odd paladin because they want to climb ladder? That's one of the biggest things to do in Hearthstone? Also to everyone who says that Odd Paladin is "autoplayed and brainless" let a small child play it for you. Heck, let them play in Legend because its so easy. Also I want you to watch top legend match ups or tournaments; you have to play around board clears, healing, over extension, etc. 

Finally, if no one played odd paladin, what would complain about? Druid and Hunter? What if no one play those? All this community does is complain about the deck that has the best winrate. 

Sorry for the salt, but reading these posts just shows and all these forums leads me to one thing: If something does not go right, you will complain about it, whether it be RNG or a deck. These forums ALL have salt. Peace.

They shouldn't have used ComicSansMS 14 Bold for coding.
