This month i'll climb the ladder with a shaman and as a shaman, my true weak point is spell hunters.... SPELL HUNTERS 9 TIMES IN A ROW!!

Control shaman isn't a dominating deck, but that one card... absolute nightmare. It should be a legendary, 2 of those is just too much.

a card back appeared and blocked my view for the remainder of the game, 2 games my pug partners conceded way too early but it's still one of the best brawls i've seen in a while.   

Ladder grinding, I have a full time job, last month in ladder I had a very respectable 65% win rate and made it to rank 10.  I will never get to legend because I don't have time to play 20 games a day.

Why do people enjoy RNG? Do you pass the time flipping coins? This brawl is pure shit

dragon priest played 7 draconid operatives, that guy should buy the lottery

I'm loving it as far a game play but there should be a better reward for completing a run, something like 40-50 gold.

I think I might play gwent instead, I don't get as angry with gwent.  In hearthstone, I get angry all the time, theres also alot of pieces of shit playing the top tier decks in casual acting all mighty and BMing when starting with kel + SS because that takes skill.  I'm not saying gwent takes master skills but a total idiot will lose all the games in gwent, in hearthstone he plays like a fool gets totally dominated and turn the game around with a single card, (usually discovered because of rigged RNG) or draws this card somehow perfectly tailored to deal with the exact situation on the board (because of.. rigging). That or playing a deck weak vs aggro and playing 10 games in a row hunters and aggro druids. It all happens way too often to not be rigged... Thanks salt thread for being there.

I like the idea but with a sample of 2300 games it sits at 49% being strong vs warriors (66%) and paladin (62%) and  weak vs druids (45%), rogues (43%) and gets wreaked by warlocks (38%).  May vary from player to player depending on skill and mulligan choice (only 23% keep Prince Taldaram) and that makes sense to me but I might go about this wrong along with alot of players.

keep your minion count on par with your opponent or 1 above

haha good idea, what do you do against spreading plague?

  There's a point at every game you lose where you either hang on hoping to get that one card that turns the game around, concede or let the opponent finish you off in whatever fashion he/she pleases.  You lose the game but get to choose how you bow out.  An Exodia mage must not see his combo often.. I never let him finish it... I might  even rope burn every turn he freezes my board.. Yeah I hate that deck but this isn't the topic right now.  I lose and my opponent gets his win, all that matters right?

  I would agree but let's say I decide to roll an aggro deck (impossible, control 4 life) or even better, an anti exodia mage deck, complete with 2 Dirty Rat and... no that's all... Eater of Secrets just makes it quicker and thats not the point here;I roll this deck just to beat an exodia mage pulling and taking out antonius or apprentices right before he starts his "high skilled" combo and really drag out my turns, make him suffer for rolling such a cancerous deck!  OHHH but wait he concedes the very moment I snatch tony.  I don't get a say in this?  I am the victor shouldn't I get a say in this??  Should we, the conquerors, get to choose to accept or refuse a yield?

  Disclaimer: I know we don't get to apply new game options, just pretend we can OK? Pretend we're Blizzard dice rollers, making informed decisions.

Here is an interesting fact, quest mage deck variations are currently the second most played decks after zoolock... that deck is the worst bullshit I've seen since launch and everyone is using it! Sure it's only 46% wr but a good player will have you beaten by turn 3 or 4 without any chance to reply, uninteractive bullshit!  I don't have the number to back this up but I'm convinced some players have 70%+ wr with it I can't wait for ice block to go hall of fame, then wild can deal with it.

Very strong deck, I wasn't too sure about Bittertide Hydra but with the exception of a control Paladin reducing it's attack to 1 and pretty much sealing the win, it worked as intended: winning games where I maintain board control to that point.

Happy halloween! I gave 3 free wins to random people in arena because I didn't know the second hero I picked was the hero power i was getting so I ended up with a SUPER useful priest that throws 1 dmg fire balls over a mage that heals wooot!

Deck Tracker has this deck at 50.3% win rate (1100 games), given some people claim to have great success with it can mean a few things; 

-the skill threshold is high

-it requires too much synergy to pull off the OTK

-weak vs deck types and strong vs another type

I did horribly with this deck, I'm not a great player though with 51% wr in October probably ending the month at rank 15 but that being said, the majority of player wont do good with this deck because you'd need a alot of games played to balance out the match up fluctuations.

*Edit.  Removed flawed match up win ratios
