You and your brother are two persons. Unless you both play about 100 games at least, deviation from each others meta is not a surprise. He had a bit of luck, you did not. Or maybe your brother is now much better than you would think.
I've noticed the same significant differences in behavior between sessions though, over nearly 4 years of playing.
Bit of a long post but I thought fuck it I'll read it.
In my observations of playing Hearthstone since GvG it seems to put you into a pool of players against whom it will match for that session. Then periodically, maybe the next time you log in or it could be the next day it will move you to a different pool of players. This explains why sometimes you get good streaks and sometimes bad streaks with all the roping and BM lumped in.
How these pools of players are made I'm not sure but there seems to be a difference in general style, it could be by MMR or how new the players are I dunno. Some days you can have the most pleasant run of games ever, you see a variety of decks, no BM, opponents will politely return your "Well Played" and no one ropes. Then on another day everyone is playing Secret Mage, Cube Lock, Recruit Paladin and you suffer all the BM that goes with it all day long.
The only thing we know about all this is that we don't know exactly how it works because the program is closed source and Blizzard are very reluctant to reveal their methods.
The progression is that 2 days after launch the meta is sorted, we have our tier decks and everything is back to square one. Maybe 3 months in we get a nerfed card.

I have no idea that's how interested I am.

Maybe 70 or 80 then I'll be playing arena for another 50 probably and then look at my gold situation going into the next expansion.

Tried it, useless in current meta.

This no longer fixes the issues, live tracking does not work.

Reached my target of 15K gold a long time ago. When Witchwood hits I'll buy a few packs and play arena to reach 15K again for whatever's next.

No one in particular, every now and again I pick up a single idea or play that sticks but most of what they say is waffle to me.

I've already written my own thanks.

I tend to get my best results during very early mornings UK time. About the same time Kripp streams.

Hasn't happened to me yet. Most polls are flawed anyway since the only people voting are people interested in the thread so you get skewed results.

Into the second page and there's too many people posting their thoughts on the thread and not one single screen shot.
