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.
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!
I think Blizzard has made some huge progress in the last 12 months or so. I was really worried when the Brode left, but Hearthstone is in a much better place today. Here are some examples:
- year long story binding the expansions together
- card buffs
- nerfs come in way faster and actually work out
- 1.000 wins hero portraits
- battlegrounds
- adding wild packs to the shop
Not all of this worked out perfectly well, but they defintely are making progress. That said, I still think economics is an issue in Hearthstone. The dust ratio is just way too bad, especially for new players. To change this wouldn't be a flashy PR-move but a longtime improvement imho. I'm not much into it, but maybe more cosmetics could do the job if you're asking for means to recrute more players and add something flashy every other month.
So I made the mistake of asking this question on Reddit and mostly got only answers that we’re halfway thought out.
This question excludes Battlegrounds Tribal inclusions, patching, and Balance changes. This is a more long term question.
We see that battlegrounds has done a good job of bringing some older players back while attracting some new players, I don’t know how long they’ll stay but it’s still a good sign that change is effect for HS.
I often make the assumption that new formats would help but I’d like to know what others have in mind.
I'm loving this deck! It can be played for tempo, you can save buffed up Scion's to try and control the board later... Against a Toxic Face Hunter I put a buffed 2/4 Eternium Rover after the hunter summoned his three Leper Gnome from his side quest, and then hit the Rover with Titanic Lackey. Which effectively negates his Gnomes' deathrattle damage, so he quick on turn 4 or 5! That example is a bit of RNG, but still. LOVE this deck!
In a few weeks you might be making a Meta Breaker deck to break this one! :D
HSReplay's current meta report (the free one, I don't have paid sub so it may still include pre-nerf data) shows the Toxic Face Hunter top of tier 2, then Pirate Warrior... Deathrattle Rogue around mid tier 2 as it often relies on good draw to be strong, but kind of sucks if you get poor draw.
Regardless, I've played 5 games with this deck and I've won them all, climbing from 8 to 6, which is the highest I've pushed in a while (after becoming a dad, hard to find time). But yeah, I think regardless of what is the top meta deck, this one is GREAT regardless.
I made legend once and sense then I have never had the motivation to climb past rank 5. I played star aligner druid and man that deck was OP! Over around 100 games I had a w/r of about 60%.
Reached legend with a high roll deck. Ironic that after 2.5 years its that kind of deck that helps u reach legend for first time. I still think this game is about skill but damn this coin toss decks are tilting to play against AND to play with
I feel like the anubisath version would be too tilting for me -- like I just watched Japan go 0-3 on that deck in global games because of bad draws. I'd start rage-quitting if that happened to me a few times in a row!
Yeah, of course it depends a lot on the draw, but you still got a couple of ways to buff your minions.
I had a could of bad draw games at rank 1, and thought I might tilt and go down, but I stayed focused and smart.
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.

Hey I'm Rick/MKick. I'm one of the folks behind Tales of the Deck. If you'd like to keep up with progress on the game and all that kind of stuff, we have a thread in the Video Games forum here at OutOf.Cards. Thanks for the interest gang!
12 new Cleric cards have been added to the game, all centered around a brand new status effect! With you confuse, you can redirect a powerful enemy back onto its own team. A confused character will deal 2 damage to a random ally at the end of its turn.

Ah, and here I was hoping standard's big priest wouldn't be resurrected in DoD. Oh well, time to queue up some greedy highlander mage again I guess.
Just made legend for the first time
Thanks mate.
I played deathrattle rogue all the way. The mechanical whelp deck to rank 1, and the anubisath version the rest of the way.
Just made legend for the first time
Congrats! Yeah took me about 2 years as well. Which deck did you use?
The Pepper Thread - Share Some Good Vibes!
So I realized I had some spare gold aside from what I'm saving up for the single adventure (f2p, btw) and decided to buy 10 DoD packs, all at once.
Got Waxadred in my 1st, Bandersmosh in my 2nd and Frizz Kindleroost in my 5th pack!
