If you're meeting a lot of them tech your deck with Gluttonous Ooze and Tar Creeper - i thing those two are best cards to counter early aggression. Ofc you could play even with Golakka Crawler also, but this one is only helpful with PW (sometimes with some Rogue or Shaman variants vs. Patches or Southsea) and is almost useless vs. other match-ups, Gluttonous Ooze and Tar Creeper however can be useful vs. different decks also. 

And as they said - keep tempo, don't keep cards for value - your job is clear their board and keep your heal on highest possible level. ofc it depends what deck are you playing.

Good luck!

0 wins - saving gold for new expansion Kappa

Thanks guys, but i got sick of Standard for now - Jades, Jades everywhere :P 

I switched to Wild, created my own Demon Warlock deck just for fun and I'm having fun again playing hearthstone :) Maybe after new expansion i will go back to Standard, we will see ;) 

Thanks anyway, you can close the topic.

Hello,

After new season hit, i started have problems with Jade decks - especially Jade Druid and Jade Shaman which are about 75% of my opponents. I usually play Reno Mage (with Antonidas, more spell oriented than minion), Reno Warlock (without combo) and Dragon Priest (but personally i don't like this deck - I used it only to counter Pirate Warrior last season).
I am average player, i hit Legend twice (i don't have time to do that every season due to work, my goal is rank 5 at the end of the month), started playing in Season 2 - but i never felt that hopeless like now i am... Even old Miracle Rogue or Deathrattle Hunter wasn't that frustrating to play like Jade Golems :/ 

I know what you gonna say - Jade counters control decks, and i'm aware of this, but i don't wanna play aggro/face decks... Maybe there are some tech cards, or specific combo decks to outplay Jade? For example - Rogue? Freeze Mage? I didn't try it yet but those are my "bet horses".

What do you guys recommend? Should I play Jade decks myself? Or there is some counterdecks to play with?  

PS: I have all cards so feel free to give me propositions ;) 

Cheers!

Best Deck Ever!

I actually managed to win a game with it at rank 5 :D (After i lost XX games and felt down from rank 2 to rank 5 but STILL IT COUNTS!)

April Fool....





... or maybe they wanna make us to think it is April Fool joke, while this is real thing :OOOO

I have character on level 90 (http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/burning-legion/Arcádiá/simple), but didn't get Lady Liadrin tho :/
Do i have to download sh*tload of GB again, and level another character to get the portrait?

I reached legend twice - once with Mech Mage, second time with Combo Druid (you can check decklists in signature). Usually i was rank 5-3 max due to lack of time to grind Legend but i did it last month and few months before when i had plenty of time to play HS.

Those are my advices. I use them every time when i'm tryharding:

1. After reaching rank 5 - stick to only one deck with which you are feeling comfortable. NEVER change deck after few loses in row. Learn strenghts and weaknesses of this deck, adapt deck to meta (meeting mostly aggro? cut some late game stuff, put more early minions and/or taunts).
2. Take a break after 3 loses in row, unless you're gonna be so tilt and pissed off that you will make many mistakes and missplays. After 3 loses in row just go outside, watch some tv show, eat something, meet with friends or whatever. 
3. Pay attention to every game, every move your opponent does, don't alt-tab every turn to check facebook etc, don't talk with anybody - just focus on game, put some music you like and be patient. Every move your opponent does can help you later - for example, opponent hunter is pointing his minion with some card? You can be 90% sure it's Houndmaster and even if he doesn't play it this turn, you have knowledge which will help you decide to kill enemy Beast next turn - otherwise you would have dilemma "kill his Haunted Creeper or let it alive?".
4. Track your statistic, at least on basic level (how many wins, how many loses). After 20-30 games you will see, if your deck needs improvments or maybe you are playing it wrong and it's time to change deck eventually? But remember don't switch deck after 3-10 loses (even in row). Shit happens from time to time - just track overall win ratio and if after 30 games you will have above 50% win ratio, you will reach Legend eventually.
5. And my last advice (which i hate personally, but what can you do...) - play midrange/tempo or aggro deck. I know - i prefer more control decks too, but usually it takes so long time to get Legend unless you are playing few hours daily. So if you hate aggro and will never play it try some midrange/tempo decks like Combo Druid, Dragon Priest, Midrange Paladin/Hunter, Tempo Mage - those decks are pretty strong right now and you can reach legend with 1 of those if you play properly.

Good luck! :)

Today went from rank 10 to rank 6 (EU) with Freeze Mage - pretty easy, many win streaks - met only 1 warrior (grim patron, unfortunatelly lost because Antonidas last card in deck :/). Pretty good counter for Secret Paladins and Dragons Priests which i met mostly (and some druids but there was 50/50 depends how aggressive their start was). Won like 10+ games, lost only 3.

From rank 16 to rank 10 i was playing Dragon Priest for fun and i have to say it's pretty good deck (especially vs those Secret Paladins) but i feel more comfortable with Freeze Mage. 


I hope i can get rank 5 till 10th September (going to work and i won't have much time to play HS, so no Legend this month i guess :/) for better "end season chest".

Tempo Mage and Freeze Mage - both are pretty good. I don't see any Mech versions, but i think should work aswell (not top tier, but still viable).

Try Dragon Mage aswell - is too slow for this meta, but so much fun playing it imho :)

Hello,

I'd like to ask - why 8/10 games i'm facing Paladin? Doesn't matter which deck - Midrange or Secret (i didn't meet any non-secret Aggro version), today i was playing about 20 games, i met 16 paladins, 2 handlocks, 1 control warrior and 1 face hunter. 
I'm not complaining because i won 14/16 games vs those Palas (i'm playing Dragon Priest) and here is my question - WTF? Is that class really that fun to play, that people are playing it? It doesn't seems to be OP right now, i would say it gets rekt by Dragon Priest, Patron Warrior, Freeze Mage and even playing as Combo Druid i didn't have much problems (it was yesterday, i won like 5/8 games vs Pala as Druid).

I assume people are trying new cards etc. but there are more viable decks to try like Dragon Priest, Beast Hunter, Midrange Shaman etc etc (even more if you want to be creative and make own deck).

So what's the deal? It's not even that cheap like face hunter or other "good" free to play deck (it requires at least two epics in cheapest version)

This is pretty common situation compare to (for example): 

Turn 1: Pass

Turn 2: Mechwarper -> Coin Mechwarper -> Snowchugger -> Snowchugger -> Annoyotron -> Annoyotron

This is auto win vs Druid for example ;)

For me Freeze Mage worked till rank 5 :P
But it depends - meta is changing, i guess play what are you comfortable with - fastest way should be aggro/midrange decks while you can get some win streaks (Eboladin, Midrange Hunter, Zoo Warlock, Tempo/Mech Mage, Grim Patron Warrior, Combo Druid). 

Just reached Legend with Combo Druid:

It was hard way to do so - got rank 5 with Freeze Mage, then whole week balancing between rank 4 and rank 5 - changed class and went pretty smooth (didn't track stats though but i had like 4-5 wins in row, then 1-2 lose and again so i guess ~70% win ratio?).

I've met mainly druids, zoo/handlocks, some priests, ton of mech mages (with those i lost most of my games), few patrons, few midrange/hybrid hunters and maybe 4 rogues.

You can find the decklist in my signature.


Good luck everyone! You can do it!!!
