It's so much fun ! It's either Paladin vs Paladin or a bit less often Paladin vs Paladin. If you're lucky you also can stumble upon Paladin vs Paladin. So exciting and refreshing !
According to Vicious Syndicate (https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-192/) the deck's overall performance puts it into T4 category right now... except bronze, where it's very close to T1. That actually says a lot about those "Tickatus is BROKEN OP and I can't beat it!" complaints on hearthpwn...
Oh, a humble pro player ! Can you teach us how to play ?
I'm honestly surprised many people aren't on the Control Warlock bandwagon, because it's actually tier 1. How does any other slow deck beat this? I like that Jaraxxus got buffed but it exists at the same time as Tickatus in standard so it's only more salt to the wound, complete overkill. The deck has answers for everything
What a strange bit of logic in a game where aggro abounds.
Tickatus has not been tier 1 for a single second.
It's not like you have to built the whole deck around it. You can just run a ultra control deck which destroys aggro, and just include Tickatus which will auto win the game against combo deck or other control...
I play wild only with custom combo deck mainly. I get recked by aggro, I'm ok with that, but losing against a single card vs warlock is very frustrating...
Wow, so many to choose from, I'll certainly forget some.
Genn Greymane is the first one that comes to mind if my only criterion is playing the game, not the art, flavour or design. This card enabled Even Shaman, which I love to this day, Even Warlock which was my favorite deck for a while, Even Paladin, Even Hunter etc etc. It was a polarizing card, but I prefer it over Baku, by a lot.
I also love pretty much everything related to Secret Hunter, even if I did not play any iteration of the deck for years. Cloaked Huntress is the first card I crafted golden(I know it's only a common, but still, love the card). Rat Trap and Dart Trap were my favourite secrets. Subject 9 is also a card I enjoyed a lot and I still like seeing its ugly face.
I lived my deepest love/hate relationship with HS than with any other video game. And as a "hardcore" gamer for almost 30 years now, I have played a lot. Nevertheless it was my first CCG ever, the one that made me discover this particular world !
At the beginning I was really enjoying it, just because of the novelty it represented for me, coupled with a fine aesthetic and gorgeous animations. Back then I played just for fun, never though about playing competitively on a card game. Then came the moment where I was obsessed by reaching legend... I have spend some haaard moments believe me ^^ Never managed to do it cause of my evolving adult life leaving little time to spend on video game, and the fact that I only enjoy playing fun deck, and not just netdecking the S tier deck of the moment...
So I convinced my self, legend woule never be an option, and I will play this game only cause I'm sort of addicted to it, but it will always have a bitter taste. How many times did I say to myself, "ok, I'm done with this game, fuck all those cancerous decks, it's unplayable, goodbye hearthstone" then one week, one month, or even one year later, I just want to have a small bite of what made me love this deck, and it starts over like nothing happened !
Then, in February 2019, I was playing my MechThun Warlock, and on the last day of the season, I was winning, and winning and winning. And I was really starting to believe that I could finally reach it. My final 4 games were against big Priest, 2*2players. I was high af cause I couldn't handle the stress of the situation, on my final game I misplayed once and overdraw a card, that didn't cost me the game and I finally become a legend !
That was probably my greatest achievement in a video game, or at least, I know that no other game made me ever feel like that. So yeah, even with it's flaws, I guess I love HS too !
Also, never have I played a video game so much, without even playing it. I mean, the time I've spend watching videos, tuto, decks, articles, or even just thinking in my bed before sleeping what card I could add to my deck to make it better is just absurd ...
Started the game with the idea of building some kind of mage using the freeze effect, without knowing the existence of freeze mage yet. When I finally was able to build a correct deck and discovered the combo Frost Nova + Doomsayer, I instantly fell in love with Doomsayer !
The fact that it's so powerful and yet so fragile, that when it works it gives you a full turn to develop your strategy, the satisfaction when your opponent can't deal with it, and also the very early game anti aggro tools it represented for a lot of control decks, because of that Doomsayer remains my favourite card I'd say !
That would be a nice deck if the meta wasn't so fast... If you can't fight for the board from the start of the game you're almost guaranteed dead... Too many high cost cards imo. Egg hunter is one of my favourite archetype, and I'd rather play a faster mid version of this, with Sylvanas as an anti greed/big Priest deck.

Yeah I though the same ... That's sad, there are so many fun possibility in Priest, but only the busted autopiloted Big Priest get played...

Do you need other people to tell you what you like or not ? If you like it and want to play it, craft it, if not, just don't ...

Hey guys,
For you wild players who might seek for fun decks, here is my new version of OTK mage.
As a freeze mage lover, this extension gave me some very exciting tools, and I just wanted to share this update with you !
Let me know what you think of it !

But I wish this kind of deck was viable !

I suppose these golden cards won't be disenchantable ?
