It's more likely that they needed to meet this patch deadline with four heroes, Reno was having visual issues and wasn't launch ready. Swap him for a functional hero and push 4 working heroes so the customers have new things to play with. I'm sure Reno will arrive in the future.

I've been playing a bit of odd rogue at lower ranks due to big priest encounters and it really is a "lesser deck killer". It basically does well against everything not mage/ (Sn1p-sn4p) warlock/paladin. What I don't understand is the secret mage matchup though. It seems near unwinnable for me, yet their data says it's 50/50ish. Flame Ward and Arcane Flakmage are just demoralizing.
Surprised to see the new version of cubelock make it to tier 1ish. I'll give that a shot once I get out of the big priest ranks. I expected evolve shaman to be tier 1. Control tried it out a month ago and did really well with it. I tried it myself but the deck didn't seem consistent enough for me. I'll probably give vS' builds a go and see if they work better.
@OP: If you face a lot of mages (I'm talking over 50% here) odd warrior is still a decent deck as it has a great matchup against them. It also does well against odd rogues and even shamans. So in the right pocket meta it can still work.
So I've been playing evolve shaman and odd paladin.
Evolve shaman is surprisingly good. Evolve and devolve are just really broken cards. I don't regret crafting this deck at all. People have slept on Deathseer Thrall for too long!
As for Odd Paladin, I don't see it. Maybe I'm playing poorly in this meta but getting to rank 5 with this deck used to be a breeze. Flame Ward and defile make me not want to play it anymore.
Amalgam would be fair as a tier 3 or 4 unit as it lessens their ability to get out of control too quickly. But right now? They are disgusting. 30+ health with divine shield? Yeah... good luck ever killing that without a lucky poisonous hit. And thats just the wall you have to get through, not even counting their other stuff. And, you can get 2 of them on the board at once. Ridiculous. It basically comes down to whose Amalgam is bigger, which is... frustrating to say the least since there is so much RNG involved already.
Update! I figure it's time for Tacticians to enter the Battlegrounds.
Excuse the wonkiness of the golden card text, Hearthcards woudn't let me print it the same as the standard cards. I've started planning out cards for Descent of Dragons, but I'll wait for the full set to reveal so that I don't make any duplicates of real cards.
I mentioned Quest Druid but I only played AGAINST them. You can probably find plenty of versions everywhere.
As for Pogo Rogue... Well, I don't think it's worth to play it on ladder, it's more like a meme deck, but I can upload later, if you are curious. I plan to play it more during the rest of the month, maybe the meta is favorable now (but I don't think so!).
Nevermind, you already did. Shocking they weren't helpful. Don't know if this is one of the things you tried, but perhaps you can try uninstalling HS and then reinstalling to see if that fixes the issue.
Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Feel free to move it or whatever if this isn't the place.
Alright, so I have a problem login in on the EU server on my laptop. It gets stuck on the loading screen (tavern doors with the HS logo). Since this has been going on for a week now, and I tried all the possible solutions I could find online, I submitted a ticked on the Blizzard website. There, the only response I got was a link to the troubleshooting page, all of which I tried before to no avail. After that no more responses. So I thought I could maybe ask here for advice?
To summarize:
- I can log in on the America and Asia servers on my laptop;
- I cannot log in on the Europe server on my laptop;
- Other accounts on my laptop can log in on all servers;
- I can log on all servers on my mobile phone and tablet;
Anyone who potentially has a clue on how to fix this? If my phone or tablet were playable, or if I had progress on the other servers, I could've adapted, but alas. Normally I'm quite good at figuring out problems like this, but this time I'm stuck :/
Additional notes, I think the problem started after I updated the OS to Catalina: 10.15.1, although I couldn't find evidence online that this has anything to do with it. The "failed" patch came around that time as well, but since that has since then been fixed, it's probably not that.
How come a side project tie-in card game manages to put more effort into balance and consistency during its Beta than Hearthstone has throughout its entire lifespan?
It's not a side project really they want this game to be a full fledged one.. just like TFT is now mostly a separated game (still uses same client but it's essentially totally different).
I don't want to defend HS the changes to the game are too little too slowly and when they come they aren't on point.. Riot is more of a community driven company when they balance/develop league so you will see changes that will satisfy players cause they really care their playerbase is happy cause they know that a happy playerbase is better for the company.
The report is correct: Aluneth Mage, SN1P-SN4P Lock and Mech Pala are clearly on another league in comparison with everything else around atm. They're fast, hard to counter and with lot of consistency on their side.
Actually I don't see any chance to get them out of Tier S, since they've very little to no counter that can hurt them, so I hope that DoD will have what we need to shake up this stale meta with something new. Otherwise a direct action from Team 5 will be needed, at last to lower the power level of those 3 decks and keep them on par with other Tier 1 archetypes.
I'm once again sad to see that Priest still in a terrible spot no matter what. Also Warrior seems to not be able to keep a steady presence of any kind aside from a low tier Pirate archetype.
Four New Heroes Leaked for Hearthstone Battlegrounds!
It's more likely that they needed to meet this patch deadline with four heroes, Reno was having visual issues and wasn't launch ready. Swap him for a functional hero and push 4 working heroes so the customers have new things to play with. I'm sure Reno will arrive in the future.

Your standard ladder climb - November 2019
I played with the Tempo Rogue version from J Alexander: https://hsreplay.net/decks/ppkVEosPo78oXB2NgYqc8f/ But I changed: -1 EVIL Cable Rat +1 Hench-Clan Thug. My WR was about 65% with it, but as I mentioned I was a bit lucky with some matchups.
I mentioned Quest Druid but I only played AGAINST them. You can probably find plenty of versions everywhere.

It's now up but the login servers seems full, so you've to wait a bit before entering.

Not it was bugged, it will probably be back online tonight (24 hours after it was it supposed to).

Good spot. I'm pleased about that, because I fear 'no reward' games leads to early concedes . As well as only going for 'high-roll' drafts.
With 'limited rewards' for free runs will help mitigate this issue.
