Honestly, Sherman, you're a unique case for us. You've made a career in the Hearthstone community out of trolling everyone. Because of this, it is hard to do anything about it because I'm certainly not going to ban dozens of people that actually behave.
People get tired of the nonsense, including us, and it's not something we want to promote here.
you're literally here saying "mods help, me I'M being downvoted and you need to regulate how people are expressing their disdain because I'm a good boy"
you're literally blaming the mods for you being an obnoxious narcissist who needs validation wherever he goes
If you seriously don't see anything wrong about Vote Harassment on a forum while the authorities doing absolutely nothing about it, then you're totally lost my friend. You seem to not have any idea how the basic rules of a functional society work.
Right now, I feel like downvoting you is just kind of a "funny" thing you're known for, so people keep doing it to keep the tradition up. Let it be known however that I haven't downvoted you at all, not even in "The Downvote Effect".
In addition to that, posts that have a negative score are more likely to be downvoted, even by people who don't actually read the comment in question that they're downvoting. It's not uncommon for members to downvote a comment with a negative score without even reading it.

are you seriously getting your panties in a bunch because of a few downvotes?
You do realize that these mean absolutely nothing and you can just ignore them
also have you ever considered that you might just be really annoying and people are sick of it.
Also right here you are demanding special treatment because "the mods know you" which is all kinds of wrong.
In other words, man up or leave. If you can't handle "downvotes" on the internet and need the admins to save you then you shouldn't be on the internet.
also downvoted for being a bad thread
I just want this forum to be a better place for everyone, my friend. I don't give a shit about the downvotes, I only hate authorities who don't give a f...k about their people. ;) ;) ;)

Seriously, guys??? And didn't sinti, whose comment has a total of 3 upvotes, notice anything strange??? WTF???
I perfectly know and understand why so many people out there are total assholes, and once a user becomes at least a bit popular in a forum, negative reactions are likely to increse, only because it's fun to hurt someone you don't like. But the negative votes are really not the problem here, what really pisses me off is that you, yes, the mods, aren't doing absolutely nothing about it. I know you know me very well, I have been a very active member of this community for more than four years, and yeah, I'm not Mother Teresa of Calcutta and my usual behaviour is probably not the ideal one, but why do I have to remember you to do your job??? It's super obvious you are totally aware of this thing, especially because many of my posts with stupid amounts of downvotes are in short threads where you participated!!!
But yeah, I'm super pissed off because of this. I thought this forum was handled by serious, responsable, helpful and attentive people, but it seems that is not the case... Damn, what a shame... :( :( :(
Oh god no, this has to be a joke. Why revert the best feature (in theory) to arena? It just needed some fine tuning by having a decent algorithm for correct bucketing in place. Instead this change will make drafting so bland and obvious again, great job Team 5...
Yeah, I noticed this as well. At first I thought I read the quests wrong, but then I realized it was just our beloved and small indie company striking again... XD XD XD
I'm a game designer! I've halfway through my Master's in Game Design and I'm launching a Kickstarter for a social deception card game (hopefully) within the next few months. :D
Awesome!!! Good luck to all of you guys, maybe someday some of us will end up working together, hehe, who knows... :D :D :D
I played a lot of burgle rogue today and was on 499 wins when i faced an Elise/Quest druid. The guy countered me hard, healed back up and took quickly boardcontrol. I was completly hopeless, he had lethal and there was nothing i could do.
I was about to concede but played Hench-Clan Burglar instead. And he did something, not even Zephrys could have achieved..... I pulled Time Out!! I naturally survived the next turn, played Tess Greymane and shuffled a dozen more copies into my deck!!! The next 7 or 8 turns, i managed to play Tess again and again, triggering time out every time, until the druid finally ran out of stuff!! Other than that, she summoned only a couple small minions, easily cleared by the druid ... at first. Luckily she drew an extra card aswell, so that the chaine could go on.
Best 500 wins finale ever!
For those that aren‘t convinced yet that burgle rogue is fun (and strong!), i got a Wild Bloodstinger against a Mecha‘thun - quest warlock just the turn before he could play Mecha‘thun! That was the only minion in the entire game that could have won me the game.
All of this on rank 3 btw, the deck is 100% viable (allthough very close to 50% winrate).
I agree. Most of the time I'm ending games by turn 5 or 6. I just hit rank 5! Went from rank 7, 3 stars with only 2 losses. Have yet to lose a game after the changes I made. Will be continuing to use this deck to work on my golden shaman. Great work RavenSun!
I think, they are understood, it's too hard, coz of you must change different cards too many times, and HS team very busy with other difficult things like often balance changes, new mods and other new things. Ok then, i guess arena content is not priority.
I agree. I never found the fun in arena after the buckets. Part of the enjoyment of the draft is the fact that some decisions are obvious and some not so much. When all choices are in the same tier, it makes the good draws feel worse (I am forced to not pick a card I want because all options are good) and the bad draws also worse (well, I got a shit tier).
You go to arena for the craziness, not the perfect balance.
Hmm. It is not that I love the buckets. They make drafting better in some regards, but fundentally it is not a super great way to design a game since you kind of hand over an already solved problem to the players. It feels like a fix to a problem, which works, but it would be better to present a solution without a huge problem in the first place.
But the way arena used to be was not great. One thing I am worried about is that pre-bucket, you sometimes had to pick between 3 actual unplayables. The worst bucket right now is pretty big. What will happen to these cards? On the other hand, you could have such a big portion of the draft being totally auto pick with super easy decisions. Is that how it will be again?
I think that ultimately maybe they should figure out a better game mode than arena. The fundamental problem is that 30 see 3, pick one is not a very good game. It is not the worst game either, mind you - it is fine, but nothing else. I would love to see them come out with something with more ambition.
HOLY SHIIIIIIT. Well, this will make arena interesting thats for sure. We are probably not going back to the "rarity" system. Probably just FFA draft. This is going to be insane, they are arguably throwing balance in the drafting phase out of the window and making it just a high-roll situation. Which is the main thing (almost) everyone complained about whenever they made huge changes and they had to adjust the system to compensate. So ... that will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Man I try your deck from rank 25 to 15 like 50 game [not sure about it and winrate because i suck at rank :p]
at first i play the exact same decklist but i found out that i always end up didn't draw exact combo to do OTK
so i try 1 of Tracking but turn out this card is so bad to the deck
and Stitched Tracker it's flexible but make me confuse to play combo LOL
Somehow the matchup i lost always be murloc Shaman,odd paladin,Jade Druid like some deck that consistent gain tempo or something and the one deck i lost so hard is some werid preist deck with a lot of high health minion because i can't clear any of his minion at all
Against Big Priest end up like this deck go even with or maybe better [Really happy with this]
Only thing that i don't like is play Subject 9 on turn 5 if you not play card every turn and play subject 9 on turn 5 will burn the drawing card on turn 6 any tip on this problem [but i just play it on turn 7 or 6 with coin to avoid this problem]
The most crazy game I play is the match with demonlock he attack into my secret and the minion die and the minion that come out the Wandering Monster is brann so he play malga'nis and next turn i play emeriss hit 2 0 mana kodo from 4/6 to 16/24 and just one kodo can deal 32 damage just wow I wonder if getting him to the deck will be good but i didn't have him
PS. I sorry for try your deck and changing something that you like to have in the deck I once try someone deck and feedback him end up he getting mad at me that feel so bad so i wanna apologize beforehand
PS.2 You can see My English are not that well
Sweet! Congrats on rank 15! Yes the deck needs some changes.. card draw or ways to wait for the combo cards.
I will try some of your changes, I ike the Khartut Defender idea..

Hi mods from Out of Cards, I'm a bit... dissapointed today. I have noticed almost every single comment I have made on this website has a lot of downvotes, even posts like this one (https://outof.cards/forums/hearthstone/hearthstone-general/1337-kripps-very-useful-guide-about-zephrys-the-great):

Is there somewhere that explains these buckets?
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
Or what Buck?
These Quests don't make sense
I’m surprised they haven’t adjusted this yet. As others said, it was a carry over when they overhauled dailies. To me the solution should be...
”Win a game with class x or y.”
”Play 2 games with class X.”
Maybe throw in a hidden limit of play to turn 4 or win the game to dissuade entering a game with a class and insta-conceding
