i think there always will be complaining players who didn't adapt to the meta i was ~5 wins avg in 7.1, now i was 6.5 avg in April (~40 runs) and 6.9 in May (15 runs) and it looks like there is a huge imbalance in classes, but actually it smoothened by low-skill (i guess now i can say these words) playerbase, which also picking wrong classes to play (i am speaking about Priest, which is 2nd class in terms of popularity vs me)
minimum 5 classes are viable - Rogue, Mage, Paladin, Warlock and Hunter (in this order, because 15% Priests is not a joke) and Shaman, Priest and Druid are semi-viable and require both luck and skill to perform a good draft with certain archetype (Tempo\Aggro Druid and Control Shaman\Priest)
i don't think that there is a class choice, in which you want to retire. there is always a chance to build a strong deck even with non meta classes.
i think more players got legend only because of easier and extremely polarised meta. i get rank 5 each month, and don't interested in going further, so for me floors is okay, if it's helps people with fringe and experimental decks.
well, this is no betterMad Scientist. even if it is slightly worse than MS, it is only Mage card, which is some kind of bad, because in Hunter Arcanologist wasn't really bad, but wasn't insanely broken.
i think i can agree with TS, and add that in arena situation is really worse, because 3 of 5 mentioned cards are quite good there. Anomalus is playable because he is Elemental and can chain some synergies. only Shatter and sometimes Greater Arcane Missiles are quite bad. and Freezing Potion too. not too many dead cards. look at the warrior, f.e.
i think this is more a Wild card because you absolutely don't want to use Whirlwind in your control warrior deck
and in Wild you can combine it with Death's Bite and i guess with this and Deathwing you can actually clear all the jade druid things. or be close to that :c
Mysterious Challenger is rotating out in Standard. pretty meh card, worse than Dark Peddler in arena obviously you will need to pick that card, because paladin lacks in 2 drops hard.
i don't really get the problem there. first of all, Control Mage, Control Shaman and Control Priest do exist. and this is really funny, how "control player" blames cards that are very actual in other control decks.
and you get heavily punished by using all of this cards if you are facing aggro. sometimes you really need to entomb this 3-3 Tunnel Trogg.
and another funny thing. main counter of n'zoth didn't even mentioned, speaking of Devolve. sure.
p.s. if you are "true" control player, you can know that you can shield slam\bash+slam\syphon soul\blastcrystal\shadow word:death\faceless most of your deathrattle minions at the same turn to get n'zoth value. LUL.
on 4-1 today i met freaking shaman with 5 jade cards out of 12 he drew 3 of them were jade lightning
i am in freaking atrocity. how the hell is this mode will be balanced, if they will resume to print parasitic concepts and mechanics like jade BS or even C'Thun (just example of parasitic mechanic) i have 65% winrate this month. i am freaking scared, that my beloved mode will transfrom into trash

but Voone is 4 mana. you can't use him in Odd.

so you are playing zero elementals in this deck. isn't Novice Engineer just strictly better? it's just a 1\1 body but still.

i don't get it, but definitely there is some Pilfered Power near...
and Devolve value... lul.
and i think this is very good in weird N'Zoth Druid lists.

of course. i guess it interacts will all stuff like Medivas in portals brawl.

Got rank 6 with N'Zoth Shaman without jades this month. it's viable, but it's top tier 3 on my opinion.
0
well i guess Control Shaman with N'Zoth shenanigans requires some skillcap to play with
but this is your opinion.
meta is like renolock, whatever rogue too.
i say these decks require more skill too.

classic CW lacks on value
N'zoth CW sucks cause all of deathrattles minions sucks in this meta.
wanna play n'zoth deck? try Shaman or Rogue, but not Warrior.
