Please refrain from personal insults towards other players.
Thank you.

In fairness, the three points that probably need mentioning here are:

1, It's Wild. It's literally chock full of broken and OP combos. This has been the case since its inception and Blizzard has made it known from the start that this is the case. 

2. Denathrius was nerfed because it was a bigger problem in Standard, where it was dominating the meta across almost every class and nearly every deck played it. This is clearly not the case when there is only one deck and archetype playing this particular combo. 

3. The combo mentioned in the OP appears to be 12 mana in total. Assuming there was no mana reduction used (as the post didn't suggest there was), that means that it was played over two turns, with Grumble sitting on the board and could easily have been disrupted by a simple removal or damage and certainly wouldn't have needed a Dirty Rat in hand for it. 

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Dirty Rat isn't the only disruption option available here, when there are a number of other cards that directly interfere with the opponent's combo pieces - you just need to add them to your deck.

You have only yourself to blame for even thinking of giving them money.

Give money to a garbage company for a garbage product, and not expect garbage in return? That one's on you.

 So.... why do you still play? 
Asking for a friend...

 In terms of value for money, it's right up there with the top of the table. 
Whether or not you think it is worth it however, is entirely subjective to you and to your own position financially etc.
But in terms of objective face-value, it is incredibly worth it, yeah.

I get the Mini Set with gold. The only thing I need gold for is about 5000 for expansion release and 2000 for miniset. I typically make more than that in a season.

Might be tight in the future though with Diablo 4 dropping. xD But that's a problem for the miniset of NEXT expansion, cause I'm set for this one and the next expansion already.

 Same, I had plenty of gold this season from the battle pass, so picking up the set today was as simple as hitting the button.

"I keep losing to the card that kills my minions. How do I avoid having minions?"

 If you read the previous poster's response, he mentions that the key here is to not "over-commit" to the board. You can still play minions, but you need to use wisdom in regards to how many minions to play onto the board at a time. 
If you expect the opponent to have a board clear or two, simply play fewer minions at a time, so the loss doesn't affect you as much and you can reload easily. 
THe quickest way to lose a game as an aggro or minion-based deck is to throw everything you have onto the table in the hopes of overwhelming the opponent when there is a good possibility he has an answer to it. 

The iOS prices are higher than both PC and Android, because Apple charges a premium / tax for purchases on iOS devices.
This has nothing to do with either Blizzard OR the internal workings of the game. 

To answer your question, therefore, no, this will have no impact or effect whatsoever on the chances of what cards you pull in card packs, since this calculation is done on the servers at Blizzard's end - otherwise people could easily hack their device in order to increase the odds of card pulls, etc.

No need to resurrect old threads, especially for little reason.

Locked.

 Not going to lie though, the sheer number of people playing Toxic Shadow Priest and Pure Paladin does make me rather sad and bored of this meta at times. 

 Sure, but in my experience both those decks are crippling weak to Shard of the Naaru. Puts an end to those pesky buffs as well as divine shield or reborn minions.

 Yeah true - but that also requires me to play Priest, and... well... I have to play Priest.... XD

Once I liked playing control in standard.

Then they killed that.

Then I enjoyed playing control in Duels.

Now that is dead.

 

I seem to have run out of places to play.  They talk about exit points for games.  But it feels to me that I have been shown the door. 

Kinda rude!

 

 Can't say about Duels, as I don't play that mode very often.
But in Standard, Control is viable, if not thriving. Plenty of good decks out there if you look around. 
The site here, HSReplay, etc.

Nothing wrong with being a Boomer! ;-)
Some of the best people are!

What you really want to do is play high-damage, low-health minions.
Problem solved. 8D

Xyrella's card text states: "Trigger the Deathrattle of every friendly minion THAT DIED this game."

The key point there is that the minion's deathrattle didn't have to have triggered when it died for this to be replayed by Xyrella's power. Unless you remove the minion from the game without it actually dying (of which there are a couple of ways of doing this such as disruption, etc), then it still counts in Xyrella's card pool.

Stranglethorn Heart getting a buff is insane (in a good way)! I am so happy for this.
My Stranglethorn Hunter deck currently has my highest winrate of all decks (especially versus DKS), so to receive a buff to it is going to make it even crazier.
Roll on Thursday! :-D
