RaraRacing77 posted a message on Casual Mode Etiquette.Posted in: Wild Format1. You don't learn how to play chess against 5-year-old kids ... no ... you learn how to play chess against people who can actually play chess.
i.e. learning how to pilot decks in Casual is a waste of time ... you're still going to be bad at it when you hit Ranked and face off against an endless stream of fine-tuned decks people have scrounged from around the internet. You know you can actually learn from losing and making mistakes right?
2. Blowing off steam by playing a Tier 1 deck in Casual?!? Also ... what is fun/relaxing about going into a casual gameplay mode and facing off against the best decks in the current meta?
As for no hardcore palyers in Casual ... I used to get emoted silly when I played wacky decks in Casual ... with every "unusual" card I played I'd get a "wow" or something stupid like that ... people would send friend requests and call me all sorts of names/abuse in Russian (mainly) or broken English ... it got so bad I stopped accepting them (and sending friend requests) and even reported some players who said really offensive stuff in the past. I genuinley had a worse play-experience in Casual than I've had on ladder since.
Haven't played Casual in 3 years now (I think, maybe more) ... when Firebat started the Deck Doctor stuff for Omnistone. Casual is an asinine environment ... just look at the replies above ... I coudn't care less what the other player plays cuz I like midrange zooy or greedy midrange decks so usually have a chance against most decks. I usually include a favorite legendary card that is not commonly played (in the past they've included Dollmaster Dorian, Da Undertakah, and others - at the moment don't really have one, Naralex?)

ArcyroX posted a message on Casual Mode Etiquette.Posted in: Wild FormatI'd say that fine tuning your deck in casual mode would be much less effective than playing ladder. there will be much more non-competitive decks there and therefore you wont be able to see your "fine tuned deck" 's performance against other meta decks as much. you wont get useful information against meme-deck players when you are trying to play S-tier deck there.
so yes I am on the side with the OP here. I think people should not play with top tier meta decks there. that Mike Tyson example was brilliant too :D
but yeah you cant (and should not) force people to play what they are going to. one can only wish, nothing else. -

RaraRacing77 posted a message on Casual Mode Etiquette.Posted in: Wild Format100% agree with the original poster ... casual should be for fun meme-style stuff that you know will fail 99% of the time but just want to see if you can pull it off once without having to run into T1 face decks or combo decks all the time.
As far as making minor adjustments to top tier decks and play testing them in Casual ... just do it on ladder where you'll actually learn something useful ... what use is it knowing your deck with tiny tweeks can destroy a Roll the Bones Thief deck or meme deck?
If you're not good enough to switch out two or three cards in a T1 deck and continue winning you are probably struggling on ladder anyway.Then you have players like me ... who don't play Casual (anymore) and do everything silly in Ranked ... that quest to play x amount of Manathirst/Infuse cards? Build a deck with every single manathirst/infuse card for a randomly chosen class and hit up Ranked ... you'll be surprised how often you win ... and you can usually get the quest done in one or two games. (I should note, I don't play every day, maybe once or twice a week, so I don't have lots of time to just play one or two manathirst cards in a deck and eventually compelte the daily/weekly quest --- hence I have to concentrate the cards in one deck.)
I'm currently running through all the Achievements for this and past expansions ... Pick a class and just throw cards into the deck that will get me the achievement ... B Positive - done ... Blood Bank - done ... A Graveyard Smash - done ... DIY Deathrattle - done ... No Swapsies Backsies - almost done. etc. etc. ... and the funny thing is I usually end up at the rank I started because I play cards noone is expecting which catches then off guard so I manage to win about half the time.I just follow the advice Deck Doctor Firebat used to give out ... if you want to try out new stuff just do it on ladder, who cares if you lose rank, at least you're trying it out against the decks that matter at the moment ... if you lose 5 ranks then just metadeck and play what you are comforatble with to get those ranks back (or get the ranked rewards you want).

Zizka posted a message on Casual Mode Etiquette.Posted in: Wild FormatNo, no, I completely agree with your opinion. I try to ‘friend’ people who end up wandering in casual with S tier net decks and ask the, “You know this is casual, right?” I wish the casual description would hint that a F1 racer might not want to show up at a village drift race. Of course, people can do whatever they want, it’s just poor etiquette or most likely, lack of awareness. We can’t really police what they do. They *can* ramp Druid in casual, it’s just sort of silly to do.
There’s this ugly side to the game of being obsessed with winning which translates in some pretty unsightly behaviour, like Mike Tyson beating up a toddler, “Look, I won!”, yeah, great job. I had this suspicion confirmed when recently reading “winning in standard is about being more obnoxious than your opponent” or “I managed to abuse Shickspitter as much as possible before it got nerfed!”. I’m not saying it’s the prevailing mindset, might just be a couple of slightly unhinged individuals, but there’s definitely a crowd who has no concern whatsoever for other people. I feel like the best way to counter this is to auto-concede against those decks until they kind of get the message they should head to standard with that shit. It’s great in casual to see decks which try something new and it doesn’t feel bad to lose against them because they tried something. -

Furansu posted a message on Casual Mode Etiquette.Posted in: Wild FormatI like to play most of my games in casual mode, climbing ladder just doesn't interest me. I know there are lots of ways skilled players can climb with non-meta decks but whenever I play ladder I usually just end up playing the decks I'm already accustomed to. That can get boring sometimes.
I love casual mode so that I can just craft goofy decks and mess around. Lately I've been having fun with Zin-Azshari Warrior, and a deck that is just Roll the Bones and a bunch of deathrattles. My problem is that I find casual mode is just stuffed with Secret Mage, Rez Priest and extremely streamlined and competitive decks. Maybe it's just me but I think it's kinda bad manners to go into casual with decks that aren't...casual?
The most enjoyable games are when I find somebody else just trying something weird and we have a unique match. It's fun playing the odd game where the stars align and the meme works and gifts you some crazy outcome but if I'm constantly running against competitive decks then I never really get that chance, which kinda sucks.
I'm not saying Blizzard should do anything about this, banning anything from Casual mode would be dumb. I just think that it should just be good etiquette to reserve your strongest decks for ladder and to approach Casual mode more casually.
It's a small nitpick really, maybe I'm in the minority on this one. Would love to hear what other people think!

iirc they said no dk skins anytime soon. I guess they were trying to scam people more effectively with that 3 heroic brawl skin while there is still scarcity with dk skins
