The trick is to isolate these new players from the griefers who are farming rank 20 with Freeze Mage (or whatever) decks. This separation is difficult to arrange in ranked (unless they add 10 levels below rank 20) but they could adjust the MMR ranking system in casual. You should only lose ranking in casual based on the damage you have received, so you could not trash your ranking quickly by conceding a bunch of games. 

 I think they have done that already. If i am not mistaken, i have read abou that. Besides, i play with the account of my girlfriend now and then, which she hardly uses. In the beginning i faced just beginners with bad decks, even in Tavern Brawl. This changed after a while.

Not sure why you said priests were one of the worst matchups.  I curb stomped these greedy priests that are all over the ladder right now.  I had the win 5 quest and played 7 games.  Won all 4 vs priest.  Lost to warrior, warriors crush this deck.

How is Innkeeper reading our collections? Our collections aren't written to the logfile, and that's the standard and approved way for 3rd party apps to work with Hearthstone. Is Innkeeper hooking into the Hearthstone process? If so, that can get an account banned by Blizzard. I'd like to see/read some transparency on how Innkeeper is working. I ran it, was like "Whoa! How did it read my entire collection in under a second? What is it doing under the hood?" and immediately uninstalled it.

 But if it isn't changing anything it ought to be alright one would assume.

If Innkeeper is hooking into the HS process, then Blizzard can (and probably will) ban your account. That behaviour is strictly against the TOS. Blizzard isn't keeping tabs on benign vs. hostile apps. As far as Blizzard is concerned any app that breaks TOS will get an account banned.

 Ah, but in that case those hearthstone deck trackers must be against the terms of user agreement as well, due to them showing you which cards you do have in your hand before the become visable on the screen.

Aggro decks are hated because an aggro meta cuts off the possibility of playing many many satisfying and fun decks

 Also because aggro players can be replaced easily by bots where it's not that easy making a control deck playing bot.

 No difference. You seldom do creative things with ladder decks even if it's control. 

Inspire is a good mechanic for the game, but unfortunately, they under powered the cards that have it too much for it to be of use.  Not only are inspire cards slow, most of them are garbage.  Understatted hot garbage.  I think it's much better to use the few of the good ones where it makes sense and look at it as a bonus more than a win condition.

If you really want to build an inspire deck, pally does it decently.  A protected murloc knight ends games and if you can combo it with a mukla's champion, you'd wreck face, but I think that combo is way too slow.

Alex is still used in CW and freeze mage.  Both are still played, but less than before.  Handlock switched to a demonlock style and Jara and Malganis have replaced it out of there.  Rag is still pretty rng heavy and has been replaced with more consistant legendaries.

Mysterious Challenger is a bit of a different situation to Warsong Commander because a new anti-Secret card release could slap it in the nads. Release a neutral low or midcost minion with the effect of Flare and bam, there goes the winrate.

 

+1.  There was no good answer to patron with creating a card, Challenger could be completely disabled with a neutral card like Harrison Jones that does the same thing with secrets.  IE, destroy opponents secrets and draw cards.  Or even just a neutral that was destroy all secrets (including yours).  This can be handled in the way that overused cards *should* be handled, with counter cards.

I wish you had some gameplay video.  I'm 1-6 with this deck.  Nothing seems to click with it, always feel like I'm playing from behind and can never do face damage.

FB combo has been around for a while, it just wasn't consistent enough to make a T1 deck.

There are a few legendaries that I would really want to keep the golden version of.  Jara is one of them.  Pretty much anything that summons adds or changes your hero or gives you a weapon, etc are cool as goldens because all those additional things are also golden.

But really, it's up to you and your collection.  If you really want to play some deck and it requires a certain legendary (and you don't have even close to enough dust to craft that card), then it might be worth it.  It is all just aesthetics. 

It's actually one of the main reasons I've given more priority to silence effects.  

You should totally send that in to Blizzard.  I've gotten temp bans in WoW for saying far less than that.

Warrior has always been the counter to hunter.  Control decks typically do well against them.  Gotta have cards to deny their card draw and aoe clear out 3 health patrons.

Oh man, all this salt.  I feel like I'm in the ocean.

Really, the power creep in HS has been pretty minimal through 2 large expansions and 2 small expansions.  And the cards they creeped weren't seeing play anyway.  War golem got picked i guess in Arena if you needed big stuff, but magma rager was considered unplayable in all formats and booty bay was pretty much considered the same.  I guess they could have just buffed those cards, but they are commons/base, so who cares.
