Really enjoy this. OOC is really close to becoming the only site I need for HS.

I wonder if that was 5 weeks from when SoU went live? Does anyone know when that graphic went in? Or what day of the week it decrements?

I’m not sold on the idea of meta reports on OOC when all other HS sites do it better. VS has hard data and professional statisticians to interpret it.

I’m biased here, but one area that is relatively unexplored and in which OOC could stand out is fan card creations. Reddit is a forum and isn’t well adapted for posting cards (also, well, it’s Reddit).

If OOC had a dedicated space for that (and not just a subforum) then it could stand out.

Combo Priest is definitely my favorite deck right now, but I think the matchup against Highlander / Secret Hunter is pretty terrible. That's been my experience at least, but it's reflected in the stats, too. 

Combo priest is ridiculous! I’m surprised it’s playrate is so low. It doesn’t really have a bad matchup. Meta is about to get turned on it’s head with combo priest exploding in popularity

Cool article! Also aggro warrior is a lot of fun, it feels like a breath of fresh air with all the fun police warriors running arround.

Two meme decks (for Wild format) to show around the core cards: Dragon Soul and Surrender to Madness.

I made these decks just for fun. Because I haven't seen any deck like this, I have posted these decks. They are not really great as there are much better priest decks to play, but I hope you will atleast be amused to see what I can do the best with meme cards Dragon Soul and Surrender to Madness.

Dragon Soul's Army

The first deck (Dragon Soul's Army) can be abused easily with a card combo play in order: Test Subject and Radiant Elemental -> Cast Embalming Ritual on Test Subject -> Cast Topsy Turvy/Forbidden Words. Then go for an infinite to make a full board of 5/5 [Hearthstone Card (Spirit Dragon) Not Found] or have many shaman spells from Witch's Cauldron.

Unfortunately, It is a wild format so it's not a gamebreaking, as it is not infinite due to limited resources. You can add more ammo with Seance and Body Wrapper, but that's pretty much it. It also feels bad not to get Dragon Soul at time you need, so maybe replace some mid/late game minions or spells to make this deck work properly? I don't know, but you can change the deck to your liking if you feel something is wrong.

I have added a very important note in the last part of deck's guide. Please read it before you play it.

Surrender to Mechs

The second deck focuses around Surrender to Madness, Surrender to Madness seems to be very hard to make it profitable for priest, but to make it work, we make it a deck based around mechs with reasonable ideas.

You first have to play Surrender to Madness on turn 6-8, if you worry about your lost mana crystals, the mechs' mana cost can be discounted by playing Galvanizer and Mechwarper. Plus, mechs love getting buffs as they can magnetize and go charge as long as the mechs are alive on the board.

It is not a good deck due to mechs being very weak in early/mid game by lack of mechs support from priest's cards. So it's really not a great deck. The reason why I made wild format is because of Jeeves for an additional card draw. There can be another problem, like if you're not able to get Surrender to Madnerss after your have deck 10 cards left...

You can change it the way you want for this deck, so use this deck as the main idea to play around with Surrender to Madness, hopefully, you can make it fun out of it!

So, as I tried them through some playtests, they are not really great than what I wanted them to be, even if they have some insane potential. In any case, you can just use those decks as a whole idea to make a good deck, but I find it hard to make it really work, so I leave it up to you! Have fun meme-ing around!

what, in particular, were you thinking of? Just the global winrates that appear on decks? 

Solo content is perhaps my favorite part of the game, so I'm excited for it whatever it is. It will provide additional information I can add into the lore posts and perhaps hints to what chapter 3 will be. 

I hope early next week we will got an info on balance patch and prepurchase of the adventure with more info about it.

Nomi's a definite contender. I've also seen lists that run Gadgetzan Auctioneer and try to cycle for a miracle combo.

More cards! Old Gods was an interesting set to build, since it turns out that Pandaria has shadow monsters spawned from Y'Shaarj. Naturally I had to use those in this set. And since Tacticians like to play a lot of cheap minions, it makes sense that I should introduce some cards that take advantage of them dying. Karazhan was very easy to come up with, since the Chess game and Dorothee were both influences on the Tactician's focus on minion positioning. Now on to Gadgetzan (three guesses for which gang we'll join).

More in the main post!

You still can! I think the deck is definitely unrefined; lots of potential win conditions being tried out.

I like the Nomi version better, especially when you have Elise.

Honestly disappointed that Quest Druid is moving towards Malygos and combo plays; I'd rather play the Choose One-heavy value deck that Blizzard intended :(

This is cool, but i'm confused:

Where are the stats?

The graphic on the Tombs of Terror "Coming Soon" sign says that it will release in 5 weeks! What do y'all hope the solo content will be like this time? Personally, I think it'd be really cool if you opened packs that were only valid for that specific Dungeon Run, and were able to take out and add cards as you please! The "card packs" would obviously only feature specific cards that would usually be in buckets on three in the other Solo Content modes. I remember hearing somewhere that they were going to mix things up a little with this one, so maybe they'll do something crazy like this!

Really like this concept are you guys gonna a wild version meta report?

Ill give some more thought to Inferno Prince. I feel its similarly balanced to Cloud Prince and Blazecaller, but those do require some deckbuilding, even if the final mana cost/benefit seems similar. I want some powerful neutral demons in the set, just need to decide if this is way to do it.

Good catch on Warglaive of Azzinoth. Its supposed to be hunter, ill change it soon.

Customising the mass disenchant would essentially be blizzard helping you to abuse nerfs. You can guess yourself if that‘s ever gonna happen.

I personally can‘t be bothered to disenchant hundreds of commons and rares manually so i push the button when i need to. And saving all cards is no reasonable option imo

Infernal Prince is definitely overpowered. It's a 6/6 minion that casts Fireball for only 6 Mana. True, it can't go face, but it's still an amazing control card. Possibly better than Omega Devastator because you can play it earlier, and it's neutral.

Also, may i point out that Fel Chieftain Jubei is essentially a Hellfire with a 4/4 body.

Great work on the rest, I really like the Hunter cards! (Is Warglaive of Azzinoth accidentally Neutral?)

I wish there were a way to customize the mass DE.  Currently I just Use it because I don’t have the time or patience to scroll through my collection looking for dupes

You can type "extra" into the search bar and it will show you all the extra cards as well as extra arms

Crappy bm-ing warrior beating my off meta hunter deck and being proud of it while I just try to have fun... Grrr
