Standard is fun for the first month after an expansion. Then the meta becomes one-two decks and one-two stupidly game-breaking cards. Then Blizz gets involved and makes it worse. All so players can grind to win at about a 35-40% win rate for meager rewards.
Yep. I keep seeing all these "first tries" but by the time I hit turn 5-6 he's already played 2-3 Blood Beasts on top of enrage minions and weapons. Really?
Jade (of all three varieties) is one of the worst mechanics added to Hearthstone. Low cost cards with too much value that get better within a few short turns, added to classes that already have very, very cheap removal with high value. It's low skill, and highly disgusting.

To win on turn four, you need the following: 1 Radiant Elemental, 1 Mind Blast, and either five Shadow Reflections + the other Mind Blast or six Shadow Reflections.
To get off to the best start, mulligan for Radiant Elemental, Mind Blast, and Shadow Visions.
1. Start off by playing Radiant Elemental.
2. Copy and play an additional Radiant Elemental by using 1 Shadow Reflections.
3. Your Mind Blast's will now be free. Play 1 to turn the remaining Shadow Reflections into copies of Mind Blast, then play the rest for 30 damage in one turn.
In turns 2-3, you can play Shadow Visions to pick up your Mind Blast if not drawn. Cutting Embrace the Shadow for Psionic Probe or Mind Vision to pick up additional Shadow Reflections can help here too.

This deck works IF you can draw the Elemental, Mindblast, and at least one MB/SV into MB. Otherwise, prepare to hate your life.

Replacing any two of the five mana cost spells in this deck with Sea Giants works wonders.

Would you be so kind as to change my name to "Sinburn" please? If that is taken, "Sinburn HS" would be lovely.
Thank you in advance.

0-8 so far. It would be nice if I could actually draw Lyra...

He means that Prince Malchezaar might put some of the new legendaries into your hand at the start.

This does not work. 45 attempts (with your suggest draw). Zero victories. Typical bullshit Blizzard RNG.

I find your definition of easy to be suspect.

Gets punched in the dick by Mage. 0-5 with this deck, with 0-4 vs Mage. Too much health spent on card draw to make the gimmick work.

I replaced Dark Cultist with Kabal Talonpriest for more control, but the deck has worked great so far!

This deck is unfortunately just too slow to work.

All I want for Christmas is less RNG.
