Bonus: Mech Hunter
Although this is later on their meta report, mech synergy has always been fun and it gets even crazier with all of the Magnetic cards introduced in Boomsday.

Posted Jan 18, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)What is a random copy of Runic Egg doing in that Mecha'thun deck? I know you are supposed to draw as much as u can but isn't Novice Engineer a better option? You can be really punished with Egg, like if you don't have a way to kill it off yourself so you can combo and if your opponent is smart and doesn't kill it then you are screwed. Novice dies easier, you get the draw right away and can combo with Defile.

Posted Jan 29, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)Draw 1 card for 1 mana,1 mana works wonders with heropower, and due to that, less clunky.

Posted Jan 18, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)Holy shit I am getting some hard PTSD from some of these cards. Glad they aren't in standard anymore!!
Would be interesting to watch some of these matches, but I seem to be reading balancing is out the window in wild.

Posted Jan 18, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)You’re thinking about it wrong. It’s not just your opponents who have bonkers decks, so do you. It essentially cancels out, doesn’t feel much different than playing in standard imo.

Posted Jan 18, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)Hmmm . . .
It's often a good idea to check out the stats on niche cards (or any other cards, really) on HSReplays. In 2,700 games played, Flying Machine has a -12% "win-rate when played" in Mech Hunter. At the end of the day, it's a Silverback Patriarch. Typically, aggressive decks need to "win now," so they can't afford to play terrible cards which need a bunch of other cards to make them good - the combo you describe requires that two other cards be drawn on curve. What happens when you don't draw a cost-reduction effect by turn two? Or a Magnetic effect? What happens when your only on-curve play is Silverback Patriarch? Etc . . .

Posted Jan 17, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)It's surprising how little card from wild odd warrior runs and it's tier 2 it just shows how strong is that deck, I am surprised it doesn't run the OG boom since that card is really good with the new dr. boom (boom bots having rush with bran)

Posted Jan 17, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)seems pretty accurate. I have noticed this wild mechathun deck in streams at high legend recently.
that's almost the same as the odd rogue I run as well. I just don't have dr. boom and run zilliax instead.

Posted Jan 17, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)IMO, Even and Odd decks are way too powerful. They need some kind of nerf that can maintain the playstyle but keep them from being so oppressive

Posted Jan 17, 2019 (Level Up Nerf)Edit: Not directly related to wild
The Top Rank players from Europe do not necessarily match the same skill level from Top Rank America.
If we look at other competitive games, we will notice Top players from Korea are far ahead of everyone else despite the game being the same everywhere.
Back to Hearthstone, i think we can all agree Hunter is the top dog to beat right now. What's left to figure out is which are the best decks that can beat Hunter consistently while keeping an edge against other decks doing the same. So, if we compile a list of 10 decks that can beat hunter, the best ones WILL NOT be the ones with a bigger winrate against it. It will be those who have a bigger winrate agaisnt the entire POPULATION.
For example, playing a deck with 100% winrate against Hunter but only 20% against other decks, would net a positive winrate if 50%+ of all palyers are Hunters. But the less Hunters are found, the worse the deck becomes.
So its just natural there will be some differences around the world since playstyles and skill level are not the same everywhere. The same happens within tiers of ranks. Its even possible(but not likely) that a rank 1 legend deck could become unplayable at some ranks.
Example: Lets say odd Warrior is a Rank 1 deck. But at Rank 5 stars, everyone is playing OTK decks. Even unplayable OTK ones (thats why they are stuck there). Your tier 1 deck may help you grind rank 25-5 and Legend-Legend 1 but not from rank 5-1.
