I agree with you OP. Arguing with a random hs player about balance is pointless and I dont blame the hearthstone player base for being immature but the game itself. The gameplay is just a toxic experience that make players toxic/hate specific cards. I dont think that any balance patch will change that. The power level of cards keeps increasing which means more players will get frustrated from broken cards.
There is also to much luck involved in the game starting from a matchup ending with random cards draws. Sure skill exists and it does matter in some spots but most of the times it doesnt. I feel like most of the things are decided for you already when you start the game and you have almost no control on the outcome and this is really frustrating.
Anyway, personally hs has failed in the most important aspect of a game which is "being fun". Everyone experience is different but I really doubt that there are players who really enjoy every single match they play. The only positive of hs is the amazing art. Remove the art, music and animations and the game will de dead the same day.
Dont take it personal my friend. It is not about me not liking your deck but rather me calling you out for misinformation. Like I said I really doubt you hit legend with this deck unless you got a very lucky win streak and I really doubt you do well against mage. Your deck just dont get the tools to deal with mage constant pressure when she starts to drop tsunami every turn.
There is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic and sharing a deck. You are more than welcome to do so but making big claims without any solid backups is wrong because you misinform people that may spend time and dust on trying your deck because they believed in your claims.
I wish I could try this deck again and this hero power package would work but the truth is that reno priest decks are unplayable right now.
So you did hit legend with this deck and you did dominate mage ? Not you didnt or you got very very lucky and you did. Sorry for being a dick but the thing is while I appreciate someone's enthusiasm, posting a deck and claiming big things without any prove is bad.
I tried this deck and it is just terrible and I will explain why. Also I played most of my games versus mage on legend rank and got destroyed.
1. Zarimi is a strong card and it is easy indeed to get her activated like you claim however most of the times you end having an active Zarimi in your hand and you cant play it because as you say it is strong when you play it on the same turn with a Cheese or Ignis. This situation is very specific and is very rare especially when you consider that you have 40 cards in deck and you cheese needs to be many turn in your hand to summon big minions. Zarimi works in a normal deck because you play it is the same turn with bunch of zero costs minions. This is not happening in this deck so most of the times it is useless card. Imo if you want to play Zarimi then you need to build your entire deck around her.
2. Because you have Zarimi you include these cheap dragons which again are strong in the original Zarimi deck but suck in this XL deck.
3. The hero power package is just 2 useless cards. I tried to build a deck around this and make this work but this is not working in the current meta with so big health and armor. So what happens is you have these 2 weak cards so you can play them in the same turn and do a lot of damage but not only the condition is very hard to achieve as you have to play Raza and Reno, but also when you do manage to get your combo the best thing you get is using your reno hero power 4-5 times and you will not get even close to kill someone most of the times.
4. Last but not least. You do have 40 cards and you are saying that there is no place for a Puppet Theatre ? I dont know what to say about this. Even if you still want to play all these weak packages you could still replace half of other cards for the theatre which is by far one of the best cards Priest has.

Rotate the zilliax!
Hearstone should be played with chillwind yeti and bloodfen raptor!
