Quote from AntonydusWurm >>you already have one, just an invisible one. it still keeps track of every minion, spell, etc. played
^ This, but I would love to see more cards that interact with it in different and more creative ways, just like in Magic: The Gathering. Would be cool as f...k! :)

As some have pointed out, many classes are notorious for always playing the same deck or the same kind of deck. That's especially the case in Standard, since most classes only have one popular deck anyway (with few exceptions), so I'll only talk about Wild here, but even in Wild, some classes are very one-dimensional. Demon Hunter is almost always Odd DH, just like Priest is pretty much guaranteed to play a slow Control deck like Highlander Priest.
In case of "keep this against Odd Paladin and this against Mech Paladin", it is not possible to know in advance what deck your opponent plays. The soonest you'd know is right after the mulligan: Either Baku changes the hero power, or it doesn't. Going with probability though, Mech Paladin is more popular than Odd Paladin, so you are better off playing around Mech Paladin. Usually, it doesn't matter too much anyway, since the decks have the common weakness of standing no chance once they lose their board presence and fall behind. There are likely some cards in your deck that are good against both.
It's more tricky against classes with very different decks like Mage, since Quest Mage, Secret Mage and Highlander Mage all have different strategies, and all three decks (with Quest Mage on the decline) are quite popular. And Highlander Mage is played with and without quest, and some players won't play the quest on the first turn either, because they might try to combo it into a Mana Cyclone.
However, you don't always get the perfect opening hand for any given matchup anyway. And in case that your opponent might play two very different decks, you should ask yourself which of these decks is harder for you to beat on average, and read the mulligan guide as a list of suggestions, which cards would be essential, which are less important, and which might be helpful either way.
Let's say you play Even Shaman against Warlock. You don't know if it's Cube, Highlander, or the occasional Mecha'thun OTK or Discard deck. You want to keep Devolve either way, since it would disrupt pretty much all those strategies by hitting cards like Voidcaller, Malchezaar's Imp, Loot Hoarder, or some big demon with taunt. Maelstrom Portal is potentially useful against Discard and OTK, but not that good against the control decks, and Discard and OTK are the less popular Warlock decks, so you drop it. Flamewreathed Faceless is somewhat essential against slower Warlock decks, since you need minions that can resist Defile and Dark Skies, and you need to get a lot of damage in before you hit the wall of taunts. The card isn't good against Discard, but keeping it wouldn't lose you the game, since your deck is relatively good at dealing with early aggression. You are more likely to find other cards in your deck to deal with those, so you keep the Faceless anyway. And Murkspark Eel would be good against any faster deck, and can still hit the very popular Mistress of Mixtures in slower decks, but it isn't essential in either Warlock matchup. So, depending on what else you have, you need to decide whether it's worth keeping, or whether it makes more sense for you to try and find a card that covers your weak spot better.
Mulligan guides are meant to help you understand how your deck needs to be played in certain matchups, and which cards would help you in these different approaches. You won't always get the cards that you want, but you still need to understand how you should play these matches. Playing Murkspark Eel on turn 2 to hit face seems like a stupid move, but against Highlander Priest, a very unfavorable matchup for Even Shaman, your best bet is to take them down as fast as possible. You'd much rather have a Totem Golem, but you know that the crucial part of the mulligan guide isn't "get the Totem Golem" but "develop a board as fast as possible".

Priest/mage gets nerfed. Something takes its place.
You or people like you now say that needs to be nerfed, something else takes its place.
You get where I am going. So at which point does the complaining stop and the L2P begin for you?

Legend was never really a test of skill anyway, it's just a grind. And I'm happy that you have to grind less.

We get nothing from Blizzard or Hearthstone for the articles we report. We're in no way affiliated. When news or offers come available, we do our best to report them all -- which we hope our users appreciate.

Quote from user-31021151 >>So what you're saying is, if I'm missing 10 legendaries and have everything else, I only need to buy 2 packs to get all of them, right?
You got it!
Plus, if you smash your face on your keyboard while opening those 2 packs, it increases your chances of them being golden! The harder you hit, the better the chances of all 10 being golden!

temporus: take an extra turn after this one, then loose your turn after your opponents...
lillian vos: replace all spells in your hand with random spells from another class which cost 2 more (they keep their original cost)

if you bought the battlepass for this season and you buy the pass for next season and you get to level 100+, there is no difference... you will get the rewards sooner, but thats it...
if you didnt buy this season, and you are not buying next season, and you get to lvl 100+ there is no difference, you will get the rewards sooner but thats it...
if you bought this season, and you dont buy next season, complete them this season because they give more XP now.
If you didnt buy this season, and you buy next season, save them up for next season, because you will get more xp then...
if you didnt get to lvl 100+, decide what is more important for you, the missing rewards this season, or the rewards for next season.

every deck has a counter... people should just stop whining and do more analyzing... if you face 4x tickatus in a row, this means that at that moment a lot of people are playing that deck, use a deck that will disrupt that tickatus deck... if i play (and i only play wild btw) and see a tonload of mozaki mages in a row, i switch to an aggrodeck... if i see a lot of aggro decks i take my odd warrior with lots of aggrodisruption... if i see that control decks are a thing then i take my raza priest deck out of the barn...
You should have backup plans and not focus on 1 deck, if you do however take a break and return a couple of hours later and hope the tickatus players have moved on and made room for other deckarchtypes.

I expect 3 of them to be available in the next battlepass like the 3 in this battlepass
