While the mode itself doesn't currently generate any money for Blizzard, it does expand it's audience. Auto chess is clearly a popular mode for games these days that allow fans to see the cards/heroes/items of that game used in a brand new way. The hearthstone version obviously has it's faults, but as someone who can quickly becomes bored with any given meta I quite enjoy the change of pace.
I can understand your frustration though. A mode you have no interest in being focused on seemingly has no benefit for you. I personally wouldn't care about a tournament mode or a better casual mode(not sure what's wrong with the current one), but anything that keeps people logging on or attracts new players is a win. Many top hearthstone streamers play battlegrounds consistently which says a lot.
I'm not sure what BG's have in common with the card game war. While you have very little influence over your opponents side of the board, there are many choices you have to make almost every turn, any of which can be fatal if done wrong.
I would suggest giving it another chance, if only as an occasional break from regular Hearthstone. Even in losses I often enjoy it since there are so many different heroes and play styles to try and learn.
I posted this in the general forum, where more folks would like a tournament mode or a better casual. Having it moved to this forum, with this audience really changed the tone of what I wrote.

Blizzard should rotate or delete this card already, it's bad for everyone. Who plays and rely on it can be screwed and who play against doesn't like it too, cause it can remove ur board very easy and stupid. This may solve Zephrys problems!

Man, How can anyone still play this game? Everygame it's like this, and now is even worse, 'cause the decks are worse and far far easy to play, no strategy, just rigged turns mana plays.

Ebbigen is just hyped and easy to play, deck is bad.
Play Galakrond Rogue With Flik , zilliax, Siamat and Leeroy works like a control deck with tempo and miracle plays.
The other control deck is Quest Priest, but I guess it's too expensive to craft and u will be screwed with matchmaking, so, I don't advise this one, I have all decks of this season and this is the worst of them it's only good against braindead aggro and bad decks in general.
Quest Hunter is very good and u can control the board almost everytime, so I guess it's a half control, Half aggro deck xD
There's a version of Control shaman being played by some ppl, but i don't advise this too 'cause many legendaries will rotate in april, including Hagatha and Stormsurge.
EDIT: Also, give runeterra a try, it's way better. I'm playing a Draven Jinx deck really enjoyable to play and very funny, specially when u summon draven and he says "It''s DRAVEN TIME". If u left this game before, keep away from it still. Hearthstone it's not like was before and it's getting worse every expansion, give urself a better lifem don't support this terrible company not even by playing their games.

I'm kinda noob with this archetype too, I just used it and got the games pretty easy. U know, it's an Ai, they are kinda dumb, try to lure their minions into ur minions , like ur sword do copies of that and keep playing against them or u try to survive long enough, fill the ai hand use murloc and put some in the deck.
Keep Shark, use with Lab guy and Coldlight oracle, keep some preparations To vanish AI's minions too when they are full hand.
Try to keep Ai with 4 cards then use Shark+ Coldlight oracle 3 times (keep one coldlight or two with 1 mana cost from shadowstep) and taht's it, the Ai dies. So many cards bought they take 1- 2 - 3 - 4 and so on damage for every card bought after zero deck. So if u make them buy 12 cards ore more when the Ai is close to 6-4 cards u win. Try to cause some damage if possible then u kill the ai with less than 5 or 6 buys after zero deck.
Bad english, second language, hope u understand, i'm in a hurry right now that's why i wrote like that.
GOOD LUCK GOOD GAMES

I'm a legend player and I played shitgrounds too...boring mode and with all the slow animations is really bad. But these changes coming to the actual Cardgame shows how the game is very slow compared to new card games actually.
Lor is very speed up and very smoothly to play, that's why they are changing the game, cause they are behind already.
I know how hard is to be a fanboy, but watch reality of the corporative world, it's only about $$$$$$$ and who copy better the other game wins.
