There just isn't a real reason to go for legend past the first time....the card back is a 1 time thing

I've personally hit legend 6 times prior to this recent easier climb to legend crap. I did it in the painful brutal days of grim patron warrior secret paladin and quest rogue

The Magic of Kirin Tor definitely seems the most likely based on the glyphs. Definitely not lich king related glyphs/content. I feel the hint for the 3rd is the only one non existent. Maybe that one is going to be Lich King related content or judging by the coins at the end maybe a dwarf related expansion to finish the year. I would love to see dwarves have a larger presence in the game. Maybe the expansion will be called something like Halls of Ironforge.

Was getting rekt by the new more aggressive freeze mages then a teched in a very special card for a win and was dying of laughter when it came through in a crazy top deck!

Hey guys I played this deck on stream and had a lot of fun playing it! Kun has become my favorite card intro sound effect in the game and just all around enjoyable. This deck feels really solid in the late game. I am fiddling with it a bit to make it a bit more consistent against pirate warriors and miracle rogues as it feels too slow against them. This deck blows reno/priest/control warrior out of the water if you play it correctly! I hope you guys enjoy my video of some footage from the stream and my take on the deck! 

Yea definitely I was a little on a downstreak up until the video i posted then i was having loads of fun.I feel like maybe replacing a raptor for a second sap could be useful on certain matchups maybe i am wrong though. I went on a streak again today back to rank 12 and had lots more fun with the deck so it isn't needed but maybe will make the deck a bit more stable?

This deck is a hell lot of fun and I really like the build up that it gains with the raptors, aya, and the fast cycling the gadgetzan auctioneer can allow. Here is a video of a nice 3 win streak I had towards the end of my stream! Hope you enjoy! :)

Hey guys I am working on rebuilding my game stream @ www.twitch.tv/cruelwarfare101 and also my YouTube channel  @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCksfg3NpQzj8dNNeJSvwimw . This is a feel good stream while we try to reach legend again month after month. This month we will try and go for the third time legend on twitch and funny videos and clips from the stream will end up over on my YouTube channel. Here are a few clips from my YouTube channel 

Hope you guys enjoyed those clips and hopefully I'll see you guys lurking around like a bunch of murlocs in stream :) and some awesome new subs to YouTube would be epic :)

I love this deck here are a few videos including an epic turn 1 edwin from this awesome deck! My only variation is i use Conceal in place of the second coin! Hope you guys enjoy this deck is hell lots of fun.

People still dont get it and it seems they never will. Its not the changes people complain about, but the way they come.

Its embarassing and insulting for a company to need Rotation after just two years, because they couldnt handle the powercreep.

But well, - on the contrary - it was all planned. Really, hats up for the genius who came up with this 2 Years Plan. He really was able to read the players mind, well the mind of 60% of the players. They introduced the Powercreep with GvG and Naxx, so that everybody needed them. They introduced Mysterious Challenger to get the Naxx solds to maximum, before rotating out. Damn, how well everything turned out. And then finally after not so strong Adventures/Expansion the players started to cry for changes and Powercreep. Blizzard heard you guy! They will help - as planned, Idiots - and introduce Rotation to get rid of the Powercreep, they introduced in the first place in order for you to buy it. *applause for the genius*

The best answer I can give you is this. For someone like myself who has been playing card games for most of my life having cards that are not a part of competitive play year after year is very appealing. If you faced the same deck every single year for many years in a row it would become stale. The current state of the game right now has gotten to a point where something like this would most likely occur. Sure they could nerf cards but then those cards lose the flavor that was intended. I find the vast majority of arguments against this relate to the loss of certain archetypes which are blatantly OP at this point. The problem is once new cards come in then the power creep has to be much higher in order to have those cycle into the meta.

Cards like mysterious challenger, piloted shredder, dr boom and what are considered standard for a specific archetype prevent the Hearthstone developers from being able to develop new and unique ideas because then they have to worry about how cancerous the design could become. Then the nerf hammer comes down and the community at large complains because they have to change it too much in order to prevent future problems. It's a vicious cycle but having standard basically allows for a dynamically changing meta that doesn't require constant nerfing to balance. The new cards in old cards out cycle will make the game feel constantly fresh and the OP decks for that period of time die allowing new archetypes to flourish.

The idea that Blizzard is doing this just to make money is a laughable argument at best because the way the game is currently you need to buy every single set to be competitive. Which is quite expensive if you just keep piling on the adventures and expansions. This is actually going to make the game fairly cheap because if you want to be competitive then you can dust your old collection and go into the new ones. At least thats what some of us smart ones are going to do :).

I am pretty sure this is one of the three primary standards. Garrosh is hard to replace but one of the people that stopped in tried Reckless Rocketeer and got to rank 4 with that change. As far as Dr Boom goes you should try either Loathab or Elise Starseeker. Completely different which will turn this deck a bit more midrangey. Elise Starseeker was used in previous seasons pretty successfully.

It is match dependent on the class you are facing against. Against druid I love having the hunter hero power, or the warlock hero power as it provides an extra option of card draw to get into the killer cards quicker. The shaman hero power is actually fairly good at board control with one exception. The spell damage totem sucks. Outside of that I will sometimes pick it in matches where I didn't get the mage one. Sometimes if you get none of those and you are facing say a warrior or a hunter I will pick the druid hero power. It takes a little bit of practice but one thing I will say about mrglton is that he allows you to play the style of Grim Patron you want. You can play more aggressively, more defensively or with more of an approach to midrange dominance. I hope this helps you a bit XD

Thats very interesting tech keep me posted on the climb!! I would love to know I helped someone else hit legend!!

This deck is absolutely amazing when it works!! I went from rank 12-2 with 3 stars in 3 days with this!! Unfortunately rank 3-2 is full mostly of one of this decks biggest weaknesses and me being stubborn and not changing caused a fall back but I really love this deck. I made one change that I found worked very very well which is 1 flare in for a haunted creeper. IMO ragnaros just wins games and is more important than 1 extra haunted, specially in the control matches! I am trying a build with 2 bear traps and a freeze trap instead of explosive as I find that explosive has backfired on me many times giving me itself when i needed a bear or popping eggs/bombs in matches too close to risk that. One final interesting Idea I had is if you wanted the 3 different types of traps, misdirection could be fairly good in this deck. No one would expect it. I haven't tried it as right now I am just trying to rerank back from 5 with tempo mage to rank 2. Thanks Again for sharing!! Anyone curious about watching the progress from rank 12-2 3 stars I have the full streams of me doing that up on my twitch.tv/cruelwarfare101 past broadcasts archives!
