Hearthpwn

I am playing standard yet, but since I have most of the cards it would be nice to play with the 40% of them that are shut out.

The Rats decks are midrange, which could be real good if we get this meta to slow down some more with another balance patch. As for now you can win some matchups, but not good for climbing.

There have been worse first months in Hearthstone's history than this month. Should be another balance change by the end of the month, and than we can compare this expansion to others. It seems it's best to compare this expansion to others based on what it is in months 2-3.

It needs more balancing to bring some kind of control into the meta, other than Warlock which I consider more combo than control. But I can find fun decks. Needs more variety is the weakness of this meta. This meta is mostly which combo or aggro is faster than the other. Limited variety in the meta has happened many times over the years. 

There are counters to the quest stuff, or you get better than others in the mirrors. The good players climb, the others whine. Pretty much every launch has broken stuff. At least they nerf things sooner than later years ago. They do need sometime to collect data, otherwise other broken stuff will replace what is broken now.

Standard feels like wild right now...the combos kill you too fast, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. This doesn't feel good. Sitting there as a mage just ignites over and over feels like absolute gash.

I don't want to be forced to play either no minions or deck filled with anti-spell tech minions + mutanus. I like playing minions. Two thirds of this new set are new mininos that aren't even worth thinking about experimenting with... utterly pointless.

I think most of us that are still playing this game like playing minions. Why is Zoo so consistently shit these days? Because it was cheap? Yeah that is what I think. Zoo, was a nice cheap non-packaged, flexible way to play the game, so they refuse to fuel that fire anymore.

Spice Bread Baker "wow, they actually gve us neutral healing back"...we're so naive lol.

Maybe if they stopped power creeping the shit out of everything in every possible direction, pushing 'packages' that are clearly designed to be anti f2p and totally busted when combined they could have introduced a combo meta that didn't feel so stupidly OP - I mean, consider that hearthstone has become a game where we have non legendary (so x 2) 5 mana 8/8 divine shield netutral taunts (just an example, there are many) and shit for some time...cards that early on in the game's life cycle would be costing your entire turn in the late game. And often these cards aren't even good enough to make competitive decks.

It's all getting a bit a out of hand...even in standard.

 Umm Zoo is good in this meta as of right now.

I do except Kargal Battlescar..Thankfully that isn't in any good deck.

You had an extra 1/2 a month last time, they started the reward track First half of November. There was always going to be a little less time this expansion.

This was posted already duh.

Can you stop posting the same deck multiple times? At least delete the old versions.  But no....you will post this same deck a 4th time!

I like the deck, perhaps I like finding spell damage minions over flurry though. But those are different decks in a way, so I see the point. Flurry/stall.

I have been owning hunter all day with my mage deck...lol nerf Mage/Paladin/Warlock/Priest(just cause).

I give my thanks to Argent Braggart along with my big buffed minions from Blessing of Authority on kicking ass today going 11-1 to Diamond 5!

I just started playing it, pretty much the OP deck of now 6-0 climbing Diamond. Looking at the list, the only cards they could nerf are Crabrider, and Blessing of Authority. If they don't, this is easy Hearthstone for me for months. I had 3 6/6's on turn 6 and one was Crabrider with windfury. Update: 11-1 to Diamond 5. I don't need legend, have got it twice. 2-0 vs the rush Warriors. Won against other Paladins. Only loss was to a Control Shaman of all things.

I can see playing this a bunch for once, since the meta is stale.
