Played a bit of a random Paladin deck, coming across a Malygos Rogue of all things.
Half-way through the game I played a Hydrologist and one of the options was Eye for an Eye.
Normally I'd never take that Secret but since I knew I was playing against a Malgyos Rogue, I figured it might come in handy once my opponent got low enough. And that's exactly what happened. Right back in his face. Secret value!

You're confusing relative strength with absolute strength. Because something else is stronger does not make the thing weaker.
Deathstalker Rexxar was weak all of 2017.
It only was strong after
Pirate warrior rotated
Kazakus Priest Warlock, and Mage rotated
Murloc Paladin rotated
Jade decks rotated
Cubelock got nerfed
Odd Paladin got nerfed
Even Paladin got nerfed
All 7+ Druid decks got nerfed
Shudderwock Shaman got nerfed
Quest Rogue was nerfed again
Kingsbane Rogue got nerfed
Deathstalker Rexxar's absolute strength isn't that high. It's that most of the other decks rotated or were nerfed and dropped under it.

Big Priest in Wild? Who really cares? Whining about a deck that has 1 win condition is pretty bad. Sure Turn 3-4 is a high roll but there are plenty of counters. Then it's game over for them. If you had to mulligan for 1 card to beat a whole deck then that deck is not too concerning.
Besides it's wild. You have cards like Devolve and Dirty Rat. LOL.
How on earth is Dirty Rat a counter to Big Priest? To pull his Lich King on turn 2? Your game plan is really "next level"! O.O

It seems like for most people the issue here is how Barnes is used in Big Priest. So as I've stated on these topics before, if Barnes is to be nerfed he should summon a 1/1 "Actor" token and grants the Actor the card text of a minion in your deck. Barnes's text could read something like:
"Battlecry: Summon a 1/1
Actor and give it the
Effect of a minion
in your deck."
So it's basically the same idea BUT it actually falls more in line with the flavor of the card since you are summoning an Actor that is "playing the role of [Insert Minion Here]". AND when used in Big Priest, it weakens your resurrection pool because the Actor would be come back as a simple 1/1 with no text, since the text (or "role") the Actor token is given comes from Barnes's battlecry.
You'd still have issues like Spell Hunter using Barnes into 1/1 Actor "Y'shaarj" into actual Y'shaarj. But again, if the main concern is Big Priest, my suggestion would help lower the power level of that deck while also enhancing the card's overall flavor.

Fave was boomsday, BUT BOTH WW AND RASTAKHAN SUCKED SO BAD! Baku and genn were the two worst abominations ever

Quote from RavenSunHP >>Are we talking about nerf patch?
Because now Hunter is still MORE popular than it was pre-nerf, https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-114/
Despite the meta adapting to counter it.
If it's not the nerf patch, why should a non-nerf patch change much about the meta?
Click on the daily graph and look at the per day listing. Hunter started it's rise up before the nerfs were even announced. Since the nerfs, they've been on a slow but steady decline. Meanwhile priest is nearly as common as hunter.

Nah hunter is not aggro really. Most hunter decks are midrange, they can't really kill you that fast. Even Shaman is more of a midrange deck also. Aggro is Odd Rogue and Odd Paladin and those decks are tier 1 and doing very well.

I agree. Playing around rank 1-5 mostly every month and there is about 50-60% chance to be matched against OTK deck currently. It is definitely a problem in my case but not sure it can be addressed. Blizzard just printed too many retarded cards that enable solitaire decks that ignore the opponent and just cycle and heal until otk turn.

Most favourite is Boomsday (I love mechs and I think there are several cools cards in the expansion). Witchwood is the least favourite because I think Genn/Baku are an issue and will eventually have to be nerfed anyways. Rastakhan is somewhere in the middle, not too bad, some good cards there (Mojomaster is the card I like the most) but it's not as good as I hoped for when I was waiting for the troll expansion.

There's too much OTK stuff in my opinion. Most of the games I have played in last 1-2 weeks have been about cycling through decks, not caring about board state at all and just trying to combo off. It's really boring to play a game when one of the players is not engaged in the game at all and is not interacting with anything you do.

If you are playing hunter, you can get extra copies of Loatheb with Stitched Tracker. That's pretty sweet :D

Yeah I went through the adventure and I only had cards from Kobolds until now (I started playing HS when Kobolds was released). You can beat all bosses with just standard cards.

Well Loatheb is worth the craft anyways. You can play it in most tempo/midrange decks in wild. Secret hunter, odd rogue etc all can play Loatheb, he is very strong, best played before turn 7 to stop Psychic scream and push for lethal.

It's definitely worth it. If you are new to wild, buy both Naxxramas and League of Explorers in my opinion. Just those 2 adventures will give you 4-5 tier 1 wild legendaries (and you can dust the rest) that are all neutral (so can be used across multiple classes) plus bunch of dust and also many commons / rares you get as rewards are actually playable in some wild decks. Also the adventures are a lot of fun!

That's what you get for playing greedy priest deck. Justice.

Which one drop? I often lose to Northshire Cleric or Dire Mole. One drops like that should be nerfed wtf were they thinking.
