I refuse to even attempt murlocs anymore. You commit early and then just have to get lucky. Demons are just way more consistent. This morning I had a great murloc run going ... got 4 triples on tier 4 two turns in a row and didn't see ONE brann or bagurgle. That was all she wrote. 

I really like Tirion because 1) he is a completely different strategy, and 2) he is really good.

Game rewards dumb decks. People play dumb decks. This is a developer issue.

I sometimes rope idiots playing netdeck aggro face decks in casual.

I agree with this. Deryl and Yogg are both virtual guaranteed top 4. You can get RNG'd pretty bad as Rafaam. He is a really really really good hero but he is not the best.

Just have his effect last between rounds ("keeps enchantments") or something so you are rewarded for 1) getting him early and 2) scoring kills with smart positioning.

The reward structure is what is wrong with this game ... not the decks themselves. As long as the only incentive is efficiency, shit will not be fun.

On that note, can someone smart over there at Blizzard come up with a way to keep netdeck mongoloids out of casual? All I want to do is have fun and it gets ruined by people who I'm told are "piloting new ladder decks" and "completing quests quickly" ... though about 80% of the netdeckers BM and rope all the live long day ... 

I hope they just get rid of faceless corrupter. No nerf. No tweak. Just ... "we're sorry" and it's gone.

This entire expansion is garbage. Most games are not fun. The power level is out of control.

My initial thoughts ... all I get are aggro decks. In casual. I wish they had a mode for people who enjoy fun more than SHINIES.

I feel like every multiplayer game is ruined by its players these days.

Turn three: coin, Spirit of the Shark.

(opponent plays a little dragon)

Turn four: play this for a 12/12 with rush.

Seems good.

Looks druidy to me.

Brann is just a bad idea on paper. In a game mode where battlecries are EVERYTHING you get extra rewarded for just doing well.

Lich King is awful and I hope he gets a buff soon.

I mourn the loss of Lich Baz'hial. She was hard as hell to play but not as inherently flawed as something like Lich King or Prof Putricide. It's basically just take a huge risk and then hope you don't die. I had 2 health left REALLY quickly with her but then won every single game after that because I was way ahead on resources and made good decisions (and got lucky). Most fun I have had.

I would maybe like to see dynamic hero powers (they change when you reach a certain tavern tier) to make some other heroes more viable. 

I have more fun and consistency with menagerie.

I'm probably a bit slow. I would like longer turn decision-making time.  Although it's telling that my first few games where I had no idea what I was doing I got first, and then top four wins. Now I think I know what I'm doing and I am getting 7th or 8th. Frustrating but I'm going to keep trying to learn. I agree with earlier comments that Mechs, beast combos, sheer power and poison seem to be the way to go.

 I had a first place run with demons (on shudderwok) at around 5k rating. But you are right ... almost all my first place runs are mechs. Divine shield with junk bot + token deathrattles + poisonous nightmare amalgams is too strong.
