Ultimately, we will never know why this clown who let whales with waning interest in the game and Twitter be his only second opinions about constructed balances resigned. Best of luck in whatever endeavor comes next. But please don't return to a leadership position in Hearthstone.

Obvious choice is obvious. :P
Indeed, the Curator. 7 mana draw 3 + stats is so damn OP!

This deck gets dunked pretty hard in the D5 bracket. The card draw is inconsistent and takes so long against control you die to the combos, which makes Reno completely irrelevant. Although this is an interesting place for the Auctioneer, too much of the deck is built around it (so many useless tradeable tech cards).
A few picks just don't make any sense:
Getting rid of the techy trade cards makes this a little more predictable (unless your whole victory condition is getting the Auctioneer...)
Edit: I tried to make this dumpster fire work. It doesn't. No discover. Poor recovery. Bad board clear. When a deck instantly loses as soon as the opponent plays a Far Watch Post, it's hard to justify it's existence. Much rather have a traditional quest priest.

You listed six decks, while still missing a few competitive ones (naga priest, big spell mage). That's not a small number of decks to be played at the second most competitive place in ladder.
The only problem right now is that two classes (warrior and DH) are nigh unplayable, but that's not too bad.

If you think about how the top 5 ranks were 80% face hunter back in the day, it's a massive improvement thou...

Even if it could, you think you could play it for 10 mana? ;)

I hope we're not in the bad timeline where somehow "Save your mana" Druid becomes meta lol

I think it's nerves, bad luck and lack of games. 3:0 is easy 9:0 a lot harder. You should lose eventually at least.
For me it's more around rank 2. D1-legend is "usually" a pretty solid streak.
This reminds me of the "honeymoon period" theory. Both have the flaw of never including the deck that went 0:6 to 8:6, because you never continue playing that deck.

Two questions...
1. How would they rig it? Pair you up with an available player with a tendency to play a deck that counters yours, who is themselves not on the final match before Legend?
2. Why would they do it? Your path to Legend is no different to his, hers or mine and yet other people do get to Legend. So why is your progress being singled out?
Also, take some time to toss a coin a few thousand times. See if there are any sequences of heads / tails that look suspicious...

wow there really are only 3 demon hunters

it will probably be a free attack like with Devouring Swarm. and i do think that it will summon the hands.

Do you realize that in order for someone to win, someone has to lose. I do not think that the matchmaking algorithm targets certain players, no. Unless you are suggesting that there are blizzard bots in d1 gatekeeping, maybe there is discussion to be had there (though I doubt it, that would be really weird and I’m not sure what that would accomplish).
you’ll never see someone post a question about your game after 10 consecutive losses being rigged in your favor. 9 win streak is already pretty phenomenal, it coming to an end I don’t think at all suggests rigged matchmaking. I bet you have lost many more games at 1 star and 2 stars, the sample size for 3 stars is just so much smaller.

Wow that is a crazy efficient buff. This doesn’t feel allowed bro

Dang they actually made a package slower than curses.

nah. There are better ways to make Pelagos an 8/8 or even bigger for much cheaper. Nobody’s playing a conditional 4 mana 1/8 with taunt.
there are definitely worse starts, but assuming pelagos survives a turn, there are way scarier things priest can do.

sorry, sometimes i get a little carried away. thanks for checking out my deck and appreciate the comment nonetheless.

Better than talritha because you don’t need to save cards in your hand to chain it necessarily.
