if you're running weapons, too fuckin bad you can't have fun because everyone runs double weapon removal.

 Well, I second that, but also this is a no-fucking-duh for just about everything. First you get the weapons. Then the season runs on and you get the weapon removal Then you get double-the-weapons. Then you get double-the-weapon-removal. Same goes for aggro versus control. First you get a board fulla minions. Then you get mass killing of the minions. Then you get revival of the minions. Then you get mass killing of the minions again. If you're old like me, you know about the song "Questions and Answers." It sucks, really. The only thing you can do is tech without teching to death, which means you have to lose matches. It's the most frustrating aspect of the game.

Budget suggestions are always appreciated! They're really helpful especially when you're trying to learn a different class. I still haven't completely explored all the classes so when I can find budget lists for something it's very useful.

Warrior matches are SO. BORING.   X_X  

 Got that right. I was enjoying warrior until I had to face other warriors with warrior. It's so mind numbing. I've got it all mastered though. Make sure you don't play your Omega Assembly until you have 10 mana. Have all your rush minions ready to go by turn 3. PUSH THE ARMOR BUTTON A LOT AND DISCOVER MECHS.

3 out of 4 rogues this morning,  on rank 2 ladder match played Cockdwin turn 3 not smaller than  8-8. 
And i played 7 games so far.

 This is the story of my Hearthstone matches today. All Rogues and Warriors, with an occasional something else. I never thought I'd be excited and happy to play a match against a Mage with minion freezing, but today was the first time ever that I was like, "Yes! I get to play against a Mage!" and it was only because it wasn't a fucking Rogue or Warrior. I have nothing against any of the classes, I'd just like to see more of the others, I mean, they must be in existence for the purpose of using them and not just decoration for the game.

People who complain about Token Druid really should just try using Token Druid and see that Token Druid can lose matches. If you are seeing a lot of Token Druids and want to beat the crap out of them, take up using Tempo Rogue. Then, with Tempo Rogue, you will beat all those nasty Token Druids and lose to all those Midrange Hunters.

I am very surprised about two things: 1) Whining about this and that. I feel like standard mode is so much better now that Baku and Death Knights are behind us. When I lose a match I don't mind so much. It feels slightly fair sometimes. I get that feeling of like "you know, I lost at a game that is usually a 50-50 type thing, with a fraction of 50.1 % whatever sometimes." I'm having a great time with my decks and my new cards. 2) I am still very disappointed with how Token Druids hoard all the tokens at the arcade. I think they should share their tokens so we can play some Skee Ball.

 

 Hi dear hardcore fanboy. Allow me to deconstruct your post.

First let me define what I understand about your species called Hearthstonium fanboyirencis ( I know I made that up, but bear with me, it's for the common good).

Fanboyirencis is a fast believer in and upholds the following:

1. No criticism. Developers are always right, they are wise, know what they're doing.
2. The skill floor must be as low as possible. After all it's a fast paced game.
3. If a archetype is oppressive, just play a counter.
4. No whining. Be a man, work your way around things. Be pragmatic.
5. Win rates, that's all there is.

Sure we're gonna win wars with your kind. All military in the world harbors types like you. The military is also full of jarheads. Hearthstone is the only game in the world where skill is not a win condition. Going to Vegas, try a slot machine. That's about the skill you will need. The target audience of Hearthstone.

Have you ever wondered how much Hearthstone resembles the inner core, the Heartland of the United States of America, origen of this game? Hearthstone, Heartland, indeed a funny ring. Don't question authority. Shoot first, think later. Also the United States, but not from the Heartland series like Startrek. The other way around: think first, shoot later.

Maybe I'm drifting a little bit, but hey, defending Token Druid, saying people shouldn't whine, complain, just be pragmatic or whatever echo's a parallel world  at odds with mine where fairness, rewarding balance, doing the right thing, have their say. It's about finesse and nuance.Too much for your pragmatic jarhead.

By the way, playing Rogue as a counter and then killed by Hunters, doesn't solve the Druid problem, does it? And the fact that this exp feels better than the previous, doesn't justify its conceptual flaws, does it?

 You should read the Salty Thread. You should also learn how to read. Also, take a course on sarcasm. I think your brain needs some devs.

Speaking of Edwin, does anyone else silently call him "Edwin van Queef" or is that my childish fucked up humor brain at work?

because im not playing bomb warrior that means i deserve to lose.  this is my fault for not choosing  to play bomb warrior.  i lost because i chose the wrong deck. i deesrve this.

 I deserve to lose because on turn four my opponent dropped a 12/12 Edwin van Cleef. I suck.

just piggy back that venomizer onto a missile launching zilliax and you got yourself some endless poisonous healing that kills everybody else but you. It's like a monster truck for fuckwads.

This meta is so dumb - absolute aggro shitfest. Control is pretty much non-existent unless you want to play Warrior. Combo decks? What’s combo?

So many broken cards out there: any mage card with summon effect, waggle pick, lackeys, druid token generators, more resurrect bull crap for Priest (not that powerful in standard yet, but mind by word, by the end of the year it will be as irritating as ever), Dr Boom hero is still in standard... fuck this shit

 You're kinda right, except for the thing about Warrior.  Warrior loses a lot of match-ups, too.  If you really want to feel suicidal, I highly reccommend a warrior mirrror match. It demonstrates how bomb warrior is not too different from regular old control warrior or even slow dragon warrior. I had a serious 30-minute warrior-to-warrior game today that just milled the fuck out of both our decks. I was the bomb warrior and my opponent was the control warrior. He even had a weapons project! In the end, the winner just survived the exhaustion damage.

I also agree that it's a huge shitfest. I don't know if it's all aggro. It's all shit, mostly. It's really pissing players off, too. For the first time in five years of playing the game I got friended to be insulted. I feel like I've been baptized into the Hearthstone shit religion while at the same time collected evidence as to how much of a heaping pile of crap this all is.

In conclusion, I hear you and you're so right on. Together we shall set fire to our card collections and rage quit this fucking shit card game from hell.

A multiple choice quiz. Just like in Hearthstone, you get no reward for answering correctly. This is just for fun! The type of fun where you very slowly pick your eyes out of your sockets! Yeah!

Here's the quiz question: What am I thinking about?

A) Hearthstone: The game you can spend an entire day playing without making any progress because it's mostly a 50-50 crap shoot.

B) It's really hard to feel good about Taunt Druid disappearing when the fuckheads who design this game decided it would be a great idea to create a Druid class legendary minion to revolve around healing and buffing a beast card, which always winds up being a fucking taunt minion.

C) Everyone bitches about Token Druid but it sucks to pilot a token Druid deck. It's actually not easy to win with it and it's obvious people just remember the times they've lost to a Token Druid.

D) Tempo Rogue can go suck it.

E) All versions of Shaman are annoying and need to be trashed along with heal Druid.

F) I've always hated Warrior as a class to play and as an opponent until now. I have crafted and utilized the bomb warrior deck and really enjoy it.

G) I am enjoying Mech Hunter but it uses mostly old fucking cards. That's sad yet money-saving and no doubt purely accidental.

H) I want to uninstall Hearthstone from all devices in existence.

I) I want to throw my computer out the window.

J) I'm tired of hearing players say, "You lost because you need to get better at the game. All losses are your fault." All you players who say that need to study hard on what 55% at best the fuck means, you stupid idiots.

K) All of the fucking above.

The Wild format exists because the company needs to make money in the future and can't do that easily by forcing new players to keep track of older cards. To make money, the company needs to produce new cards. 

The only reason why the Wild format exists is because the company needs to make new cards to make more money but doesn't want to lose customers who would prefer to keep using older cards. That's really all. If Wild players feel ignored, it's because that's the profitable option for the company. I honestly think that if the company could earn more by eliminating wild, it would do that. Companies that want profits do not spend time on things that won't be bought in the future. Not many people will buy old cards, so the old cards are not a priority. Wild is, actually, a cast-off, really, in economic terms. It isn't profitable to pay attention to it.

It really makes you lose faith in humanity, doesn't it? This morning I had a match with a Paladin and the Paladin won the game and then friended me. I accepted the request, because hey, a winner of the match, must have liked the match or something. Nope. Only friended me to insult me and tell me I'm this and that.

I don't play the Rogue class (I want to in the future, though, just can't afford the cards now.) I'm really happy that the class can now run cards that "steal" and have decks that can be winners all at once. Last year Rogue decks couldn't be focused on stealing much if they wanted to win. I mean really, what did they do? Force Rogues to live honest lives with their cubes and crystals? 

One of the things that I find amusing now with the new rotation is all the Rogues that get gifted these spells that the classes they come from aren't using because they're pretty much shit. The Rogues though can turn that shit into something useful to win.  I laughed my ass off today when a Rogue smacked me with a Starfall. Haven't seen one of those in a while.

People who complain about Token Druid really should just try using Token Druid and see that Token Druid can lose matches. If you are seeing a lot of Token Druids and want to beat the crap out of them, take up using Tempo Rogue. Then, with Tempo Rogue, you will beat all those nasty Token Druids and lose to all those Midrange Hunters.

Jaraxxus needs a buffed hand to handle his demon weapon? I mean, I know he loves himself so much, working out at the gym and making sure he's shirtless and cute, but I seriously think he's not much my type and if there is going to be any hand buffing going on with Jaraxxus he should do that in his room with the door closed.
