This tournament showed us that Control Warrior is outdated and outpowered with respect to the meta:it could not defeat Jade Druid (ofc with a delay in the SKulking Geist but still) nor Big Priest (despite having RNG in its favor). hopefully Turn 1 Justicar can help it.
0% WR Control Warrior
Jinsoo could spent his resources more carefully and be rewarded for risking it a few more times. I still do not understand why he Brawled turn after he Nzothed just only to kill a couple of relatively small jades while having Execute in hand. He could hold that Brawl for at least 1 turn more. A big problem of his deck was also a card draw. I still do not understand why he didn't included Coldlights. Coldlight at this point has no drawback because literally any deck has strong amount of carddraw with only exception being Big Priest, where you can mill few cards as well because Big Priest handsize is often more than 8 cards. That Control Warrior could win the Big Priest matchup but Hamster managed to spend his resources really well and for that he has my respect. In case of Jade Druid matchup, only thing that he needed was card draw so he will get closet to Geist, but since he didn't inluded it in the deck he got punished.
No secret paladin !? Sure it’s fallen a little power wise, but nothing strikes more fear into your opponent than the words “who am I? none of your business !” A 6/6, 5 secrets, and a partridge in a pear tree.
recheck alexMM's decks
Reno Paladin. :D
Blizz should extend the Choose your Champion initiative to those tournaments too, it would maybe increase people's interest in esports.
Yeah the final game had only 14k viewers, where the World Cup had 100k+. They need to have more casters as well, it gets dull after listening to Admirable for 3 hours straight
GO alexMM !!!
Wow! I love how diverse the decks are! Cool how not all the popular legendaries are warlock ones!
No nagagiantlock, but why?
Because Giant decks are not that strong. No one wants to play a deck that can be destroyed by any other decks in this tournament if he doesnt get his Naga on turn 5. Aggro decks might kill you before Naga turn, Control decks can kill you even if you coin Naga (Poison Seeds) and combo like Cubelock can get out of a hand really fast and it is more consistent than Giant decks.
Agree xD. Even tho I dont like him that much, I appreciate that he is doing some guides about Wild decks lately on his channel. At least its something I guess.
Big and "Control" Priest are the same deck, why label them differently?

I've been caught!
Was in a rush to get this up >.> Been a busy morning and the April Fools joke from Korea came in when I was working on this post and getting ready to help get decks onto the site = oversight.
It's been fixed, thanks!
5 auto-include classes, 2 "I'll risk it!" classes, 2 unplayable classes....
That's called balanced meta, boiz
L
Not even one single class is ran by every player
Hush. Lets still pretend that in Wild there is zero class diversity like in Standart xD Hunter and Rogue could see play there too but their only good matchups are control and combo decks so they will auto loose to aggro decks.
