I'm guessing that's the problem. Someone at Blizz clearly has a mage fetish, with quest, secret, tempo, freeze and all the busted decks they enjoyed for the past years, and now he's mad because his class isn't alone on top like it always was.
They have data captured across hundreds of thousands of play sessions to sell 20$ deck, but they're not effed to use the same data captured across hundreds of thousands of play sessions to ensure some damn basic balance. Paladin siting at 65-70% win rate, can't they use the effing data to see and fix that.
Playing Albatross + Ticktatus makes no sense most of the time, especially if you rez the albatross.
Expired merchant is way too slow ... your bad matchups are all the insane aggro tempo decks Blizz suck at balancing, not the nonexistant control decks.
Armor vendor is better than mistress, it's live turn 1, combo with brann, etc.
You have 30hp and 3 minions on the board, the mage still kills you turn 6 from empty board np. Of course it's oppressive. And before that it was (and still is) secret mage, and before that it was quest mage. There are some smoothbrain employee at Blizz who clearly love mage way too much.
Secret mage has been the best wild deck for effing ages ... they do NOTHING, 70% win rate tempo is fiiiine. Lets even give them some more broken archtypes to make your muligan a 50/50 gamble, why not.
No joke, this post is 1 year old and never stopped being relevant ...
That's just bad XD. Gratz on the win streak, but that's just pure matchup luck. That N'Zoth is so weak 66% of the time lol, 1-3 Murloc, Zilliax, random demon maybe a Voidwalker, and 50-50 Zephrys or Rag. The OG N'Zoth with Dreadlord, Voidlord, Voidcaller, Mistress, Karthut, Deathlord, etc. just looks x10 times more consistent.
Grizzled-Finley is quite oldschool, Raza priest is not as popular as it used to be.
You clearly got lucky with a subpar version of the deck. 23% shaman XD ... a normal climb would be 50% Secret mage and 30% Darkglare lock. Anyway, rank 2 to legend is a joke, half the game are vs legend players playing bad meme decks. The real grind is diamond 10 to 3, all meta decks, so many effing Kabal Lackeys...
This is overrated in Wild : It doesn't combo with Voidcaller, Sense Demon, Skull and Archwitch WIllow in Cubelock. It's too slow to counter early Lorekeeper, so you still need Gnomeferatu. Reno and Cube are already strong late game decks with merchant. And this doesn't help at all with horrible Reno matchups like quest mage or token druid. It's just a win more in already favorable slow matchups.
This is super bad. The dragons are too slow in wild, and they don't combo at all with deck of chaos. The new Nzoth is not worth it ... what you gonna get, Ziliax, a 1-3 Voidwalker and a 4-1 Twilight Drake? Play merchant and get a 2nd copy of the real Nzoth or Guldan.
