Your Standard ladder climb - December 2019

I almost forgot posting the thread this time!

I have not played a lot this season, I have experimented a bit with several decks without investing a lot of time on ranked, so I have not yet reached my objective (Rank 5). But I still have time.

How is/was your climb this month? Did you give up because of shamans? Did you join the Face Hunter army? Tell us!

  • Doing pretty well with Galakrond Warrior. It doesn't really seem to have any strictly bad matchups, but every game is a test of skill (to an extent at least) since playing Galakrond is slow, but also essential.

     

    Occasionally I switch to Paladin Paladin just to punish Face Hunters, because fuck those guys.

  • been going from rank 25 to rank 23. Really proud of myself

  • Tried a ton of homebrew decks at rank 4. Currently my favorite has to be a druid with the usual auctioneer plus 0/1 mana spells to go through the deck then nomi, ysera, and floop to finish the game off quickly. Also enjoyed some of admirable’s warrior decks that I found on Zalae’s channel and highlander hunter. Loving the variety of decks you can play competitively this meta. Hopefully the face hunters go away soon! :)

  • Played a bit of dragon druid in standard but it felt too fair to be honest. Has anyone tried the new treant druid so far? 

    Guess I'll give pirate warrior a shot now since its matchup spread seems pretty decent. Should easily make it to rank 5, still. 

  • Been messing around on rank 5. No intention for legend. Bit of healing druid against all those simple minds that play face hunter...

  • Been climbing pretty steadily with Gahz'rilla hunter. Started at 15 and now I'm at 11. It's the highest I'v been and also the second time I bothered to climb (started last month from 25 to 14) .

    Idk why it's working but it is so I ain't gonna complain.

  • I've been playing with Galakrond Rogue: unfortunately I don't have a really good winrate (52% or so), but I'm slowly grinding my way out. I should get to rank 3 by the end of the day and then who knows.

    I'd like to craft Heistbaron Togwaggle since I miss it, but that card is awful in Wild, so...

  • Been grinding out DR rogues and Face Hunters with quest priest 

  • I just hit the first time legend with an Galakrond warrior.

    I destroyed every Hunter and shaman and only struggled a little bit against rogue decks.

    Everyone who struggles against these matchups should try this deck!

    Note that this is a more oriented deck,with a lot of burst damage and early game control.

  • Haven't played Ranked in Standard mode, but I might play some in near future with more cards. Probably going to play Galakrond Priest if I get some more cards for Standard mode - got some pieces already (maybe getting Kronx soon will prove helpful).

  • Hit legend with Galakrond Shaman pre-nerf... now playing a mixture of odd decks, including Mech Paladin (new list from last meta), and it is going surprisingly well.

  • Only fooling around between 10 and 6 since I already reached 5 in wild. I really enjoy the variety of viable decks after the nerfs. Anubisath Rogue, Pirate Warrior, homebrew secret / hero power Hunter, Highlander Hunter, everything has a decent chance. Loving it!

  • Trying out some mage decks but I get faced by face hunter real bad and also the deathrattle rogues are annoying. Basically everything that tries to get out of control before turn 6 is giving me a headache. Probably should add more armor/healing...I have no mage answer to the face hunter yet. 

  • I haven't laddered for 2 months so it took my a while to get back to rank 5. Bomb Warrior feels really solid imo, didn't encounter any terrible match-ups:

    This is probably not an optimized list, but Hoard Pillager feels powerful in this deck. I'm also liking EVIL Quartermaster (but you can run Shield Block instead I suppose). Slam draws or acts as removal vs Aggro decks, but I also used Loot Hoarder and Frightened Flunky before and they weren't bad either.
