I also do not have Sub 9, but i personally replace it with Wild Bloodstinger. it's great distrubtion and it always feels good to pull someones Brann, N'Zoth or Zephrys.
Joined the wild only a few months ago, having fun with Kovachuts Thief Priest. When Blizzard anounced the 1.000 wins portraits, I started grinding with Mech Hunter. Then I realized that I was equally close (around 800 wins) with mage and decided to give Secret Mage a try. Long story short: Reached rank 5 in wild for the first time and once I teched in one copy of Eater of Secrets it wasn't even hard. Rewarded myself with a mega bundle preorder and will now proceed to farming wins with hunter, mage and paladin taking turns with thief priest :-)
Playing dragon combo priest in wild casual to complete quest.
Opponent is reno warlock.
Trying to draw while playing around the usual things, but opponent plays geist on 6. Opps that a problem for me.
Play around godfrey on 7, try to control board. He has godfrey but I made sure I'd have something on board. OP plays voidlord on 9 and though I have Mass Dispell, or void ripper which would kill it, I can't play these yet as now it's my only win condition due to giest.
His voidlord kills my cleric, and doesn't hit my 3/6 dragon.
I have 1/4 in for lethal as I'll be getting 2 cards next turn (of 8) and I proceed to silence his void lord, buff my dragon, void ripper it and hit him for 24 for lethal - completing my quest!
He/she adds me and I tell him well played mate but before I can tell him I was lucky and ask how his deck is doing proceeds to express a view finding zero skill in my plays, comparing my luck to that of a deity (who presumably don't need any) and expressing a preference for a short life expectancy on my part. I wish him "Have a great day :P" though this doesn't seem to lift his/her spirits.
I'd post a screenshot of the chat but given this is a good vibes thread it might not be in keeping with the tone of the thread :)
Despite this, I've found these kind of encounters rare these days - especial in wild and even more so in casual, so don't let it put you off making new friends! Hopefully opponent won their next game and will have a better day.
Climbed to 5 using deathrattle rogue again, pretty easily. Then I did some experimenting at rank 5 but stopped, meta is just stupid right now. It's either evolve-shaman (whatever kind, they all run the package), tempo-rogue (yawn), quest-druid(yawn) or aggro-combo-priest(yaaaaaaaawn).
I hate playing against all these highrolly decks (except quest-druid which is fine)... "oh look i got my stupid combo and you don't seem to have the right removal in hand, guess I'll win". I do my dailies and some bg, but thats it.
Sorry it turned into kind of a salt post, but seems that my ladder experience in this meta just comes with salt on top.
Hero Power: "Frozen Champion" 1 mana Freeze a Minion.
As in, you only freeze the 1 minion you want to buy next turn, but all other minions in the tavern get to be rerolled with the automatic reroll at the start of each turn. It's not overpowered and there is a clear benefit to only freezing the minion you want.
The 0 mana freeze all is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in that you don't lose the minion(s) you want to buy, but it's a curse because you lose the option to have the frozen minions you don't want to be rerolled for free, which means you have less chance to finding the other minions you would want.
Well, if you want to make it a hero, why not give only the nozdormu player a ready button. When that player presses the button the timer goes to only 15 seconds remaining, unless there's allready less then 15 seconds remaining.
As Nozdormu you could then put time pressure on everyone else
Rushed to rank 5, doing all kind of weird fun decks. Tree druid, mogu rogue, highlander shaman, big shaman. No intention to go for legend, meta is boring right now imo

Hero power: 10 gold: At the start of next combat, if you have no cards in your hand and battlefield, automatically win next battle. Only usable once per battleground.
I’ve always considered how you cook it to be the defining factor of what makes a grilled cheese. Adding extra ingredients just spices things up a little.
For example, you can have a cheddar cheese, ham and mustard sandwich. Or you can have a grilled cheese with ham and mustard. Exact same ingredients, but very different flavor all because of the grilling.
Not quite sure if this is a harsh enough penalty for 5 coins, maybe 15 health, but that seems a bit too small, especially given how long some battlegrounds games can be.
i find the turn timer is too short if you're on mobile. for me anyways the animations take too long and i find myself missing on plays that i clearly got off before the rope burns away.
Hero Power: Each player is given a “Ready” button they can click if they are done with all actions of their recruit phase. If all players have clicked this button, time skip to Combat phase.
Okay... not a great hero, but would be a great feature!
I'm not disagreeing with the deliciousness of your suggestions, but at a certain point it's no longer a grilled cheese, but just another sandwich. The beauty of a great grilled cheese is how few ingredients you need. IMO Brode was already pushing it with that mustard. I will, however, always defend a couple of tomato slices.
This might be the closest we'll ever get to a proper "get your card in the game" contest, so the opportunity is surely not to be missed. Time to open HearthCards and get brainstorming!

(Sub 9 is actually not that important of a card)
