I'm just sitting here kinda stunned by this thread. I never thought I would see the day when a genuine conversation about aggro would happen on hearthpwn, with actually well-thought and well-reasoned comments. Way to go, all the people who posted above me!
As all of them said, and as I try to say anytime it's relevant: every deck requires significant skill to play it well (though some require more skill than others). I have my own personal preferences, which are different from other people. And it always looks easy when your opponent plays the perfect cards in the perfect order to kill you. And you might think, "Well, that was easy for them - they must have no skill - they just got super lucky and drew "the nuts." A monkey could have beat me just as easily as they did."
But the thing is, you cannot see their cards to know what they chose NOT to do, and you can't see their mind to see if they were effectively guessing what you had available and then countering it on purpose. So even when a victory looks like it was easy and inevitable for your opponent, it rarely actually was.

Now how am I supposed to procrastinate at work!?!
No words can describe the amount of sadness this brings.
As toxic as this community could be at times, it was always there as an endless source of entertainment, and laughs.
Curse is making a huge mistake with this.
Hope to see everyone around elsewhere!

You really think it's worth a card slot for banker or brewmaster for just in case you have the coin in a mirror match? That is a complete waste.

Dear HS community,
Will you ever be happy with anything in life?

Dusting is a trap. That was your #1 mistake.
You never know when an unplayable card will end up becoming a vital part of a new deck.
Mage is also one of the top 4 classes atm, so I'm confused why you decided to dust your main class collection when the class is in no ways in a bad spot right now.
If you main Paladin or Warlock, I might be able to understand where you were coming from.
Learn from your mistake, don't dust your collection, maybe buy some packs to help you build back up, and you'll get your mage collection back eventually. Just will take some time depending on how much real money you're willing to spend.

It's not the worst meta ever, but it is definitely in need of a shake up so some other decks can have a chance to shine. Rogue has polarized the meta too much. Hopefully the nerf bat comes down soon to shake things up.

I haven't even hit rank 5 yet this season. I haven't had much time to play though. Congrats and welcome to the (sometimes toxic) community!

I'm not 100% sold on Subject 9. I've played a few games where between draw and Masked Contenders, Subject 9 just ends up a dead card and a terrible top deck. I love Subject 9, but I feel with only 3 secrets and Masked Contenders, it isn't worth having.
I'll play around with him some more and see if I think he pulls his weight, or if another card would be a better replacement.
Great deck though! I've been experimenting with Spell/Control Hunter all expansion, and this is a very fun version!

If you're playing an experimental deck, wouldn't one of the things you'd like to experiment is how it stands against the top ladder decks? You should be grateful that you have the opportunity to test your deck against a top ladder deck, without playing ladder.
This thread is pointless.

There's only 1 card that needs a buff Silverback Patriarch

I laugh when Bomb warriors concede when I have lethal. Why don't they at least wait and see if they get lucky and I draw enough bombs to lose first? I have won a few games where my opponent had lethal, and instead 2-3 bombs go off and I win the match.
You never know what will happen, unless you are in a hurry, might as well just wait and see. You never know when someone might disconnect, or just miss lethal.
