Got to rank 5 today

35-12 with Patches
6-3 in the mirror
4-2 vs Dragon Priest
4-3 vs Jade Druid
21-4 vs jank

9-6 with Dragon Priest

I don't think I saw a single person play Grimy Gadgeteer against me. That card is good.

Yeah I don't like the Drake. You already have four five drops and you have no use for the spell damage. I do kinda wish I had more dragon tags but the rest of the dragons suck.

Whats your list look like?

I felt I really needed the two shadow word pains because it's just so easy for an opposing 1-3 drop to snowball the game if you don't draw the nut priest curve.

ive added a drakonid crusher and a book wyrm (not sure about book wyrm, but its actually been great like killing the druid 3/6 jade guy, many of the dragon priest minions, etc).

I also run the drawing kabals (on top of the +3hp kabals).

I also run an ooze like you, and im trying out one faerie dragon (it curves very nicely into the +3 hp, and pressures face for medium term kill potential and proc'ing the drakonig crusher)

I also run wrathion. I think its basically a better azure drake. The taunt tag is very important. And 4 attack to **** over other priests.

I run one entomb.
I cut one azure and I am not sure about that actually.
Its awesome in the mirror match its great against shaman and its a dragon you can just slam on the board without worrying about an activator.
I just really really love that card

Aggro is way back, lol. Maybe control warrior time.

control warrior definitely the most ****ed of the expansion so far, i cant even imagine a deck that works.

what do you mean by aggro though? pirate warrior mainly?

Cant win with pirate warrior with everyone ruthlessly teched against it. That happen much faster than I thought it would.

Jade nzoth shaman surprisingly good, there's a weird control taunt warrior that seems decent

Honestly I don't really see a counter to the Jade golem mechanic and I fear we may be heading into the most cancerous meta we have ever seen

People often over adjust.

What's your current pirate list?

I think I'm just going to tinker for now and make a more mid range buff build

I tried to attack the opponent with a minion. The opponent had a Misdirection secret up, so it was proc'd and I attacked my face instead. Since I had a weapon equipped, my minion died.

Has misdirection always worked like that? I don't recall the last time I've encountered Misdirection, so maybe I just missed it?

Yes it has.

I went from R15 to R10 in like an hour of playing pirate warrior. Nice game Blizzard.

Jade Druid at least in its unrefined version loses pretty bad to Nzoth Rogue without even teching against it. In my early experiments it appears that mid-range Hunter of some kind will beat it pretty bad as well, not quite as much though. These decks get steamrolled by super aggressive strategies though, and the class of shaman.

I went on a heater with this list and haven't made any changes

im interested to see how hunters and freeze/tempo/other (reno? secret?) mage fare in the longer term

zoo too.

60 packs, 2 legendaries: Kazakus (NICE) and Han'cho. That was after the fix but I clearly should receive 20 more packs because of tri-class overrepresentation.

playing a super fast paladin deck, i think it has some potential if more refined. Tops out at 3 mana, with 2 div favors and 2 small recruits. I dont have the pally 3 mana legendary which would probably help vs pirate war.

Playing a super janky reno shadow priest. Seems to beat dragon priest!

Coining out the FWA against an empty board is terrifying

You hit escape, hover over concede and wait to see if they have it

I can't figure out how to build a hunter deck right now because there are too many ways to build it lol. I did play some kind of wacky mid-range deck and did pretty well with it earlier even though it was not good. The 4 drop SI7 beast card is AMAZING. The death rattle & battlecry buff mechanics are capable of doing broken things but hard counters make you sad. one thing I did notice is that you can force removal before highmane often now. Shaman everything completely owns Hunter and that will not change. But I believe there is a lot of hope in terms of countering Druids and any slow decks. As far as mid-range Hunter is concerned. I didn't try to build any aggressive version.

The one I made was a total train wreck of a deck even though I was winning with it. it's actually impossible for me to figure out what the heck to run in the three-mana slot, which two drops and how many, etc. It's a lot harder to build a mid-range Hunter deck nowadays, in a good way if you like the deck-building aspect of the game. Surprisingly, I was able to make a relatively strong death-rattle rogue deck with only a few refinements, whereas hunter just made my head hurt.

All my hate goes to dispatch kodo. **** that card

I wonder if we'll see Dragon Warrior make a big return. Seems like it should beat both Jade Druid and most shamans? I mentioned control Warrior to counter some of the aggressive strategies, but the problem here is the Jade Druid vs. control Warrior match appears to be the most oppressive in the entire history of Hearthstone. That has potential to **** up a lot of things.

lol it's my favorite one so far

so good

after i try out my midrange pirate warr im going to craft the 7 drop +5/5 to a minion guy, gonna go heavy midrange, maybe top out with 1 call of the wild. Hunter got a lot of help with alley cat IMO which is a tiny bit better than argent squire in that slot because of the beast tag and 2 bodies imo. I don't know though I'll have to mess around.

The 2/4 keeper of the grove card looks nuts. so does the epic that spawns more minions.

Even the card that summons 3 copies of itself looks like it could be really good but it may be too greedy.
