rank 4, 5 warlocks in a row. coincidence?

Not sure why people are picking spells when referring to "drop".  

By definition a drop is a minion, not a spell.  That being said I'll echo a lot of the thoughts here that N'zoth looks like the best 10 drop currently.  Absolutely broken in Wild format and very good in Standard, possibly great depending on what other deathrattle minions are released in WOG.

It gives you instant value instead of on Deathrattle and dealing with a board full of new deathrattle minions will be insane especially if a few have taunt.

rank 7 now legend incoming...

 nice! currently rank 5, been stuck there for days. I need a break for a day or two, i can't stand getting rekt by decks we all know will get nerfed ^^

Quote from jazzfan27 >>

Varian seems stronger to me, and you saw how much that was played.  I think this is a pretty bad card for the cost.  I'd like my 10 mana minion to actually DO SOMETHING.  Not just sit there for a turn or 3 waiting to die.

For your CW:

I probably wouldn't run any armorsmiths and just replace them with another Bash and Shieldblock.  Also I wouldn't run Frothing Bezerker and I would probably replace it with a piloted shredder or another shieldmaiden.  

Alexstrasza is also not really all that necessary in CW these days.  Probably could just double up on Revenge instead.  You have plenty of late  game already.

For your Secredin: 

As a lot of people pointed out you are probably running too many secrets.  Repentance is largely not used anymore and you only really need to run 1 competitive spirit.  

I would add 1 haunted creeper, 1 keeper of uldaman, 1 sludge belcher

Also swap out 1 consecration for 1Truesilver.

rank 7 now legend incoming...

Battletag: longstorm#1300

Region: NA

Usual Play Times: 10pm-2am PDT

Experience: Intermediate

Preferred Heroes: Paladin, Druid, Mage

Looking for: practice partners, people to theorycraft with and discuss deckbuilding/strategy

About me:  web dev working in San Francisco.  Love playing Hearthstone and all the strategy and creative deck building that goes into it.  NeverLegend but I consistently get rank 5 and a few times rank 3 or 4.  Haven't had time to really make a true legend grind but am trying.

Just curious...does the fatal damage check on heroes happen after each spell resolves, or after the whole battlecry does?

Testing decks in casual is a fucking waste of time these days.  I queued up for 7 straight games, either Aggro Shaman, Face Hunter or Aggro Warrior... 

That being said if anyone wants someone to test decks with on the NA server I have mostly everything and it would be great getting back feedback on my own stuff as well.  Just PM me.

Sad how so many people don't even understand how to use this card and just scream its bad. Its a last resort so to speak. Its meant to be in a spell heavy deck like freeze mage, and well, if you're screwed anyway then you might as well go out with a bang. So many people are considering the possible ways yogg can screw you over, but what about the good it can do, huh? What about equality + consecrate + 3* pyroblast to opponent's face? I see people making arguments like sacrificial pact on your own hero as jaraxxus, and pyroblast to face, and twisting nether/doom but I don't see anyone making positive comments. What if yogg triggers mark of the wild + some other buffs like velen's chosen and stuff on itself, buffing itself to ridiculous levels? What if yogg decides to just swipe or flamestrike the hell out of an enemy's board with stuff like tirion, ysera and stuff on it? What if it decides to throw a bunch of hexes on a sylvanas or a gromm or something on your enemy's board? What if it triggers bane of doom and kills a minion, summoning a mal'ganis for you? 

I could go on, but the point is that its a complete RNG card thats meant as a last resort if you're screwed. Going back to freeze mage, what if you can't stall any longer (no freezes, board clears, etc.)? What if you've just run out of spells (had to fireball/frostbolt threats)? If you can't fulfill your win condition, or if you're pretty much done for next turn, drop yogg and you'll either lose as you would have anyway, or maybe you'll even pull out a win. Heck, even if you lose, it'll be an interesting finish to the game.

Ye with little faith. Imagin this in a deck with echo of madivh and ice block. 

 Yeah, you play Yogg on your turn and Secrets does not activate on your turn... The only card that could have make Yogg viable does not work that way :/

I can't see this in any competitive deck whatsoever. By the turn you can play it you are gonna be lower health most of the time. Playing Yogg at that point is fairly likely to kill you with some damaging spell to your own face. On top of that it can death, assassinate, polymorph itself. The card will definitely make some interesting games. But completely unplayable if you ever intend to win using it..

Its a battlecry and therefor it cannot have any effect on itself, since they trigger before the minion enters the battlefield. So Yogg Saron cannot Sheep itself or whatever.

 Injured blademaster damages itself with its battlecry so I would expect this to potentially injure/buff itself

What are you meant to do against this... It's beyond a joke now it really is.. this could go on all night but I've really just had enough I seriously can't play this anymore the evening and the game in general... before you fucking report me like some sort of idiot just think about whether you have to deal with this at rank 18...

renolock
dragon priest
Mid hunter
aggro pala
face warrior
Patron
random aggro warlock
renolock

I am a legend standard player. FACT.

Leaving aside that renolock is the singularly most broken deck in the history of HS what are you meant to do against terrible players playing stupid fucking decks that you can't play around? That isn't a meta, it's a clusterfuck. I could paste 10 times the amount of data and it would all be equally random.

I'm so fed up with this shit because it all falls on me and everyone here is such a troll because they haven't got a clue what it is like to play what I have to face day in, day out, week on week.. no idea at all.

 

 

 You don't get it, do you? We ALL play against the same decks like you "day in, day out, week on week", no matter what rank we are at, because those are the decks people like to play, because they are successful. And why are they successful? Because they have "broken", unfair combos. But those are needed to compete nowadays.

And believe me when I say that we all can't wait for standard just as much as you, but in contrary to you we don't litter a thread with posts that belong in a completely different segment of the forum. And by the way, that's why "it all falls on you", not because we "trolls" can't feel your pain, but because we "trolls" are fed up with the shite you are posting here "day in, day out, week on week", as you so eloquently put it yourself.

So please, do us and yourself a favor and post in the appropriate threads.

Hi guys, currently sitting at rank 10. I am playing midrange-demon Zoo at the moment, worked like a charm last month, took me from 9-5 in one single session and the next day, last day of the season, i got all the way up to rank 1, so it clearly is a very strong deck.

However, at the moment i seem to face a lot of Patron and Secret-paladin and i just struggle really hard to get a streak going, which is the only way to get to 5 efficiently. So i thought about playing Freezemage (Malygos version that is) but ended up queuing into Druid after Druid. I refuse to play Secret-Paladin and Midrange-Druid because i already played way to much of that shite.

Any ideas, tips? When are what decks prevalent? and what deck could i play to improve my climbing rate? the tilt is real at the moment, it is frustrating as f*ck, pls halp

It's not as bad as it sounds, but some useful tips would still be appreciated ^^

 If what you're facing is Patron, Druid and Secredin, one cure could be Control Warrior.  I know historically CW is bad against combo druid, but if you run the most fatigue based CW and are able to stave off the initial drops like Shredder and Druid of the Claw then you can usually armor up out of combo range and just wear them down.  

Druid is the only iffy matchup, but vs Zoo, Freeze Mage and Secredin it should be fine.  When you start feeling like CW is slowing down you could probably switch back to your zoolock and rank the rest of the way.

Hmm interesting, so we're talking Deathlord-style CW? Gonna give it a shot, used to play quite a bit of CW before the days of Elise and am not really that familiar with the newest variations, but sure, sounds good, thanks ;D
