First off, I play casually and don't tend to approach the ladder seriously, so that being said I'm currently sitting at Gold 3 and my experience might not match everyone's. I've been playing since Beta so I feel like I have a good feel for how people play.
Over the last month or so, I've seen the hord of players with those 4-5 character lowercase names playing the same Death Knight deck over and over. They're practically free wins since they don't adapt strategy and play at the same medium pace every turn. What strange though, is that on top of that, I'm also encountering some other players with more normal names but the play style is insanely fast. The moment their turn starts, the card they just drew is already being played and they don't miss a single beat card after card before their turn ends. I understand some players know their decks well so can play fast, but this is over the top.
Combined, these 2 types of players easily make up what feels like 70% or more of all of my matches. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I missing a piece of the puzzle?
Doesn't matter how many nerfs, patches, or expansions happen. Druid is still constantly at the top of the bullshit list in Standard. I would say I can't wait for so many of their cards to rotate out but we all know there will be fresh cards printed that are just as broken. Can't they be bad for just one season ffs?
Edit to clarify: Insane mana, armor, and the ability to flood their board clear after clear.
Has anyone in the history of this game ever seen a Druid come up as their opponent and not immediately rolled their eyes? Jesus fucking Christ that class has been out of control since the beginning of the game with broken shit.
Just took this deck for a spin. Both games were won easily but I think my opponents had bad luck. I'll play it some more but it seems fun and unique so far.
My monthly complaint about Priest continuing to be the most annoying class to play against in the entire game for like the 5th year in a row. I would rather have 10 aggro pirate decks smash my face in a row then to keep getting matched against the 3 rez priest decks over and over again.
The deathrattle damage Priest in wild takes the fucking cake for most braindead deck in the entire fucking game. Dump cards on the field that damage your opponent when they die. Resurrect them and repeat until you play the priest hero card that does them all at once. EZ win and there's no counter.
I 100% know I'm trash, but good fucking god I cannot get a win in the Fairytale Brawl. I've played close to 20matches and get steamrolled every time. I've changed classes, tactics about what I'm picking at the start of each turn, everything but cannot get a win. Even in matches where I'm getting lucky and filling the board each turn I end up getting melted in the end.
Edit: Played one more game and won... lucky thread? o.O
Holy shit I'm tired of playing half of my games against priests in every single mode. This game should be called Prieststone because they're fucking everywhere. It's always the same 2-3 decks and the people playing them add absolutely 0 variation to any of them that they play. Oh wow! The same deathrattle deck for the 8th time in a row? Get fucked.
The game keeps soft-locking for me on certain bosses and it's getting really annoying. About 75% percent of the time if any given boss enters a new form the game just hangs there saying it's my opponent's turn until I restart the game and load back into the match.
Edit: Also seeing bosses with blank text bubbles when you taunt them among other things, it's all very buggy for me...
I'm trying to clear the Plague Lords on heroic and managed to get a draw with Eye for an Eye
It displayed "Defeat", but then kicked me back to the menu showing the Plague lord at -1 Health. It let me start the fight again but the boss instantly died. Sweet!

When does Raid the Docks get rotated out? It's not nearly as common as it used to be, but I audibly sigh whenever it get's dropped on the field.

Glad to see at least a couple of people are trying to bring this back!
Next: A card that banishes/removes a minion from the game.

Pretty fun deck! I easily beat out a Soul Stone Demon Hunter and then a Battle Cry Shamen. Looking forward to playing this some more.
