You have no idea how many Warlocks quit after Cataclysm, Bloodbloom or other OTK enabler spell goes off too early for their tastes, or get saved by someone's pocketed Hagatha's Scheme/Plague of Death/DOOM! cards. Actually used Brann with it one time against a Druid ... can't Malygos win if you ain't got spells.
I would say tham my favorite moment is to have Zephyr, i usually play Shaman or Rogue, so i can repeat the battlecry or make it double, and it gives me a lot of value, i'm a casual player and i don't have a lot of cards, so Zephyr helps me with it :)
Casual Mode - Netdecks are banned. Gold is not rewarded. Quests cannot be completed. This is purely just for fun mode.
The thing with this is that net decks are fluid. You ban a bunch of cards and net decks move down the list. When do you draw the line and stop banning any form of deck shared on the internet?
Also, fun meme decks have just as much potential to become 'meme netdecks' if they gain enough fun traction. In that sense such a format would become a double edged sword because then you'd start pruning out inconsistent, yet popular memes, straight out of the format because they potentially get net decked.
So not only are you basing a deck's capabilities on a single game. You were also playing against an aggro deck that runs a quest for some reason.
Maybe that's why you don't get it.
Well, I just faced several aggro warriors NOT running quest today, and they actually did worse against wall priest than said quest guy. Will give some credit to one warrior starting off turn 2 with a 5/6 minion going into my face and later building a 12/4 Frothing Berzerker (but hey, thanks for putting up a 4-damage mech next to it for Mass Hysteria).
At least against Control Warrior, it's going to be who can outlast the other, rather than see how far aggro goes to quitting time if they can't get a win by turn 8.
I appreciate the content that you create, and I did enjoy this article very much, but your responses to the comments below are off-putting. I'll explain why.
In this reply, for instance. You mention three times that you'll take all criticism for the sake of improving your piece, which isn't necessary. The commenter wasn't rude, I don't believe, but you mention twice that you won't tolerate any rude comments. As opposed to you asking for no rudeness, your tone during certain parts - "Just be gentle to community's card choices and decks while commenting.", "For starters, why don't you offer a characteristic cards but not a dull one such as Puddlestomper?" - borders on rudeness to the original commenter: the first implies that he was rude, when he wasn't, and the second implies that he would be so dumb as to suggest a card like [Hearthstone Card (Puddlestomper.) Not Found] Finally, your response was unnecessarily lengthy and the italics used feel overly dramatic.
Overall, the impression this comment gives is one of a defensive person who has rushed to defend his article, has perceived more rudeness in the comment above than what is actually there, and as a result ends up being verbose, dramatic, and slightly rude. I don't say this to be hurtful - this is a very understandable thing to do, and I don't respect your enjoyable writing or yourself less because of it - but to bring attention to something that I don't believe most people would take the time to point out to you. If you're going to be putting yourself and your work in front of large numbers of people, correcting this is important. In the future, I would recommend taking a moment to simplify your thoughts before you reply to something - Is responding to this worth it? What are the important points to respond to here? What impression do I want to give?
My deck's Zephrys. Fireball for the finisher to win, as we both went face (boss building a wide board of 4/4s and 1/1s, me with a heavily buffed King Krush that lasted several turns and occasional sidekick minion.
Post says "First, a note on sample sizes." and then proceeds to provide no information on sample sizes.
There is no information about sample sizes at all. Actually, there's not information on the basis of ANY of the analysis in this post.
Look, I like this website and I want to support you guys, especially after the move here. However, there's a bunch of crucial information that is lacking that can help better inform the reader what to expect from this meta reports.
For instance:
An actual note on sample sizes
What data is this based off, if at all?
Is this one person's opinion or a teams? What are their qualifications?
If this is just one person's opinion, make it known it's just that. People still read Tempostorm's meta list, even though there a better and more accurate sources based on data out there.
I'm not against another meta list. It'd just be nice to know how relevant it is based on the sample size, data used and expertise of the person/people involved.

My favorite Uldum moment so far was winning a game with Murloc Paladin, despite drawing BOTH Tip the Scales in my first 5 cards.
Rock, Paper, Scissors - Genies, Machines, and Tigers, Oh My!
Otk paladin deck description mentions Avenging Wrath, but the card should be Holy Wrath. Great article otherwise!

My favourite moment: the return of quests in general! I just love how different every class feels with those sorts of cards in the game.

My favourite Uldum moment so far: being able to build so many competitive decks and have lots of fun with them!
Legendary Reno DK Mage
I use a similar deck, but use Unseen Saboteur instead of Dirty Rat.

I like the card, it’s lots of fun. But when I’m sitting on my 3rd pocket galaxy of the game I feel like your claims of infinite value don’t hold true

Terraviss got Bladed Gauntlet with their power. Struggled and failed to buff it. That was fun.
Octosari Lorewalker Cho OTK!

My favorite moment: Doing top deck to Zephrys and discover lethal
No such thing as C'thun Shaman?
C'Thun Shaman is one of my favorite types of C'Thun decks! Which... I need to try again with the new quest. That is when/if I get the new quest...
Six Formats Hearthstone Could Easily Have

"Enrage Warrior is still chugging along amid an efflorescence of tempo-based decks for the class."
"Efflorescence: the action or process of developing and unfolding as if coming into flower"
As my father would say, "nice word collage boy!"
