Gluttonous Ooze would be a fantastic option with the new expansion! Thanks for the recommendation!

I always accept.  In the beginning it was people being douchey and just all around jerks. However, as the game has gotten older, I think people have become more acclimated to the kind of shenanigans that can occur. I'd say the majority of the time these days, someone is adding me to laugh about a situation. Sometimes you'll get the guy that's, "Oh man, I had you dead next turn. This was in hand and I was going to do this which would've won the game."  I can related with those people too since I've had the same scenario occur 1 million times. 

If I get that guy that's going on and on about how bad I am or how I shouldn't have won, or how zoo lock isn't even a thing anymore, how could I beat his face in? I just remove and move on.  I'm too old and could care less about that person's negativity. 

If I send a friend request, it's because they pulled off something cool and I want to be like, "GG, that such and such you did was great." I think I've added someone due to tilt once near the beginning of the game. I had every intention of being a douchenozzle. Instead I said, "That sucked."  His response? "Hah, I hear ya man" That guy and I still talk to this day about kids, life, etc.  

I'm guilty of hitting 20 and going casual unless I have a quest with a deck I like to play ranked with. I used to grind out the lower levels, but I find I enjoy the game more when I'm not trying to push win streaks. So, now I just make sure I get the card back, and I'm typically content with a common or rare gold out of a chest.

Reworking the classic set by adding some cards rather sounds reasonable instead of letting classic cards rotate out of standard. I even would support this idea like adding certain cards into classic to help certain classes but again...this would make balancing even more complicated and would confuse new players which Blizzard doesn't want at all. 

The current balance state would actually be great if aggro wouldn't be that strong right now. Blizzard have two choices there. Nerf aggro directly (certain unhealthy cards) or give us more tools to deal with them (cheaper removals,Healbot recycle , big early taunts like Deathlord) .

I would prefer the first option since some cards are broken (no reason for Lava Burst to be able to target face ; Rockbiter only should target minions or shouldn't stack with weapons ; Call of the Wild basically gets you a board out of nowhere and some burst etc.)

 my point is and i will stop commenting as i said anything i wanted to say so if anyone want to see my whole view on the subject can read the thread 

hearthstone took the step to introduce formats same as MTG all good so far but they chose classic set to be an evergreen not changing core set for a player to invest for his collection. 

but the classic set helps some classes more than others and creates some combos that they shouldnt exist in this game forever. this cause some classes (see priest) seem weaker than others (see warrior).

they tried to balance the classic set with nerfs and making whispers of the old gods a very good expansion from which the majority of the cards have seen play. but yeah its obvious now that this was not enough.

if hearthstone took the formats from MTG it should take their approach in the core set also. which is a yearly core set for example year of the kraken set which will contain 80% of the classic set but with some cards added from the wild expansions so it can be a BALANCED core set for all the classes.

 

 

That moment when you don't get the complete combo until your last couple cards, you're down to 7 life (including armor) and you're facing a mage with ice block up.

Excellent! When N'Zoth was mentioned I figured he'd probably be an amazing addition. Glad to hear he worked well for you!

Thank you! Got it on first try with your list but I changed a little. 
I'd recommend to use Avenge, Righteous Protector and Spikeridged Steed. 
I used them 'cause I didn't have some cards. Breaking Gluth's weapon with Gluttonous Ooze was essencial for my winning. 

Righteous Protector and Redemption were everything that saved my early game 'till I drew Acidic Swamp Ooze. 

Gluttonous Ooze instead of Harrison Jones also works because it helps keep you alive.

I hate to be the one to break this to you chief but until the collection thickens out a bit, you'll struggle. It is the whole "New Player Experience" thing that Blizzard are still touting at every possible opportunity vs. having been a long time player like myself. You have to invest either time or money at the start in order to get the collection up and running. In my case it was time. 

We are due some new content in the next 2 or 3 months and once that comes in you'll find laddering a whole lot easier as you get some of the new cards and have padded your collection out a bit better. Do your daily quests, mulligan them for the not 40g ones and get your free pack each week with the brawl. The basic set cards are the foundation for so many good decks and these are your bread and butter. 

This is the grind phase of the game, it sucks but we have all been there. Oh and Arena farming looks easy on youtube but is actually a fucking nightmare. 

Meh it's because Hearthstone is meant to be quick games.truth is,if you actually want game-deciding decisions, play Magic The gathering or Faeria

great deck!

 Thanks.  I was asking because there doesn't seem to have been any update about the system for over two years.  The chart that Frozen Inferno posted is really old. 

The main reason I'm interested is to find out what the different ranks really mean.  For instance, some people act as though rank 5 is easy and the absolute minimum (and imply that those who don't/can't reach rank 5 are inferior), while others have never even gotten close.  Whose experience is more typical?  According to the charts, it's the latter, but I'm not sure if I can trust those old charts.

Discover is really good, joust wasn't great but it was an interesting mechanic, was helpful in control decks to determine what your opponent was playing

Worked great, I ran dry around turn 10 but so did he and it was N'zoth who saved my ass.  Swapped for Sky golem as I didn't have it.

Great deck; was fun to play with too! I replaced Tirion (who I dont have) with Grimestreet Protector Glad I held onto Harrison Jones haha

Amazing deck!

Got it on the second try ;)

Used N'zoth instead of Harrison and even though I only got a single sludge belcher, it turned the tables completely.

Thanks!
