I am running the tournament with 0 sponsors and 0 backing, so the only players that would accept an invite to a tournament with no-prizepool, and doing an edgy idea that could completely bomb, were my friends. And TidesOfTime is a friend of mine. If he was only playing for money and was as selfish as you make him sound, then why would he agree to participate in a 0$ prizepool event that had no guarantee of even being big. He's a good guy, and back in 2014 had in the top 5 highest earnings, and amount of 1st places of any player.

Most likely only 1 or 2 open qualifiers per event. As they are a lot of work to run/organize. And I think people mostly want to see their favorite players vs new players. Instead of just new players vs new players. And established pros would never play an open qualifier when they could make a lot more money with their time streaming, or content producing in other ways, or competing in invitationals.

You mean the deck I used titled "Xixo Zoo" right? Cmon Xixo quit stealing from me bro. Kappa. 

Well just mulligan away the murlocs, keep board control with non murlocs and after they've used their removal up or you have gotten the murgl + health combo that sticks then play the murgls. If you have 80% winrate with anything then that will climb very fast, on an average of series of games, 6.25 games for 5 stars which is a rank. But the best part about ladder murlocs is the game is over at about turn 6 and with zoo it often goes longer than that. I don't think it is a difficult deck to play, and its not something you really need to study much, but if you want msg me on twitch in chat when I'm streaming sometime and we can go on skype and share screen and talk through the plays to see if you would do anything different than I would to see if you are indeed missing some small thing.

It should be in the past broadcasts somewhere haha. I like murlocs better than Zoo for climbing quickly because against bad players you can just autowin if they don't clear the murlocs or don't save a removal for the warleader.

Hey you can check out my past broadcasts, I was playing this deck to climb to rank 6 and was one of the players that got that high the fastest this season using this very deck! Skip ahead in this past broadcast to see: http://www.twitch.tv/hero_firebat/b/516128449 Hope it helps!

Mark of the Wild in the handlock matchup is the endgame. It allows me to remove giants, of which he had many left, it allows me to activate ysera which is actually not too high impact unless it is taunted. So I value the card quite high that is why I chose not to play it. Overall I think this play is less vulnerable to silences and is the least risk play possible. And with a favorable state I wanted to just do the safest play.

Glad you like it :) and I tried my best to make it as consistent as possible with the ramping while still having the combos I believe to be key for the meta. I will eventually be releasing the math that went into the curves to this deck! So keep an eye out for that, just really busy as of now.

I wanted to fit leeroy in here somewhere, maybe that's the place to do it, but I find the card draw can really help tilt a game, and occassionally against control the +spell damage is very high impact. But the main reason for azure is for card draw, so not sure if that's the best spot to fit leeroy in because it may cause the flow to be slower.

I got the skeleton of the ramp druid style from the original ramp druid deck which is not by Flood_. And I'm not sure who it is by, but I saw was reminded by it when I saw Team Dogehouse playing old school druid decks as they called them in the SeatStory Cup. 

BK is fairly needed in my opinion for the removal combo in some matchups. Because of druids lack of single target removal.

Cool :)

Thanks for posting a neat budget version. I have recently joined Soul Bound deck building team, so hopefully we will put out an official budget version soon, once we get all that stuff set up. Got a lot of people there that seem to be experts of budget decks, so hopefully it will help people out that are struggling. I haven't really ever played budget decks because the first thing I did after not doing so hot my first season without the cards was get like 3,000 arena wins and earn all of the cards. So, I am bad at making budgeted decks because I am so spoiled by cards like thalnos haha.

What's your twich? I would like to check how you play the deck.

My twitch is Twitch.tv/Hero_Firebat

Hit rank #2 Legend NA today, but dropped down to #5 NA after I finished the stream.

I see. Well maybe watching my stream could give you some answers about some things, because I generally have no issues in this matchup.

I have no idea how you could have lost if you had yeti out on 3 and swipe cleared the board and then you got a DotC out, but druid of the claw in charge mode to clear his board can often be better than taunt mode because zoo works by buffing minions so just cleaning up the board state every chance you get will make his buffs useless. an unless he had like both soul fires and a doomgaurd or two in his top 10 cards I don't see him beating that openning haha, so maybe he just had the nuts.
