Thank you for sharing your feelings with this community. Sometimes, the community can be harsh so thank you for your openness. I am hearing that you have lost interest in hearthstone. To that end, it's okay. It is just a game. It's not a person and taking a break isn't breaking any moral or ethically considerations.
That being said I heard you when you said, "I'd appreciate any tips for some decks you guys have success with as nothing I came up seems to work."
I wanted to present to you a deck that I always play the first three days of any new expansions. It is a one card deck called Whizbang the Wonderful. If you have any real-life friends that play Hearthstone you only need one person to have the card and then you both can battle against each other with the same deck (randomly generates decks). I played against my dad and it was great. Also, I started at standard rank 20 and now I am at rank 18. That is where I get my fun from.
Regarding which cards are currently seen as the best craft I would recommend one of these two lists from HSReplay.net:
Best wishes to you (and I will refrain from recommending non-card based games.)
That's literally all I wanted to hear. You're a good lad and warmed my hearth, I've been fiddling around with our Master Whizbang and it's been fun for the time being. I will just give the game a tender break and see how the meta shapes up in a few weeks.
If you are a bit careful in positioning your Mountain Giants and have delicate aim with your Conjurer's Calling then you do not need to highroll your ass off. You can just smash face.

Looks really fun, will give this a shot. My egg zoo lock has worked well for me, and Cruel Dinomancer infinite is surprisingly more consistent than I thought. Putting the two together should be pretty interesting and seems like it should be pretty strong...
Wild ladders are just honestly the same old shitfest as they have been since forever. [...] Wild being, well, terrorized by decks that I don't even dare to name as I would probably get a lot of meaningless hate for it.
I'm a wild only player and I can assure you that (if your goal isn't high legend) you can play literally any deck you want with some kind of success. Try to find something funny instead of looking for winrate. Winrates are bull**** if you aren't a pro player. Look for interesting builds, for unused archetype, for an original creation. Have you ever tried to build your own archetype? Just take a look at how many there are on the wild zone, there are so much card that you are free to do what you like.
If you don't have that many ideas, try a build around card like a quest (old or new). If you want I can share some strange decklist :)
Got trumped by pretty much everything, but I still enjoyed it more than laddering. You're a bloody genius and I honestly praise everyone who went all in and played Master Whizbang in the Brawl. Although I got unlucky and got a pretty crappy Druid deck three times in a row.
I guess I just enjoy a different game than the rest of y'all. Unfortunate that I really enjoyed most of the metas that people seemed to absolutely hate to bits.
Edit: Still surprised to see that there's no way to close your own threads, or is it just hidden from my sight?
Honestly it sounds like you are burnt out on the game and you need a break. I saw this plenty of times during over 10 years of playing WoW and that game had much more content than Hearthstone. When you reach a point where you are burnt out most other ideas to fix it that do not include a temporary break just delays getting burnt out on the game yet again. Switch to a different game or just break from video games in general and come back at a later time. Sometimes time away is just what you need.
quest druid is probably my favorite. the temp and value is insane. If they don't put you near death in the first couple turns it's pretty hard to lose. Druid quest is probably the fastest other than rogue and it's just so strong. Kind of feels like year of the raven druid again but without the broken cards (UI / SP) but you still have some nutty cards. I think the deck still needs some refinement but I think it'll be a meta deck for sure especially if/when cyclone mage gets nerfed. I think maly druid and token druid with the quest are both pretty viable but I think a beefy token druid might be the way to go in the long run. I was doing pretty well on ladder with a maly list though.
I've also tried these decks and these are my brief impressions.
secret hunter - excellent pressure against anything slightly slow and still solid against aggro. Hyena is strong
battlecry shaman - definitely needs a lot of refinement. so many different ways to build it. serious potential and power. you can contest warriors late game and grind everything else out or you can build pretty high tempo and have solid burst.
aggro overload shaman - I think this might be a good tournament deck now. This was already an established ladder deck but it got a good power boost. Sandstorm elemental and Mogu Fleshshaper are good cards in it, but most of all Vessina is very powerful. card is pretty nuts, it's bloodlust as an aura with a body. It gives the redundancy of a third bloodlust, allowing you to go for a more consistent token/lust finisher instead of doomhammer + spells. It still struggles to warrior but it generally beats mage which is very important.
control warrior with the taunt package - the taunt package is a lot stronger than i thought. shaggy is really good value and early board contest. The legendary dude is solid and just hitting zilliax + a tomb warden is great value. tomb warden in particular is better than a lot of people thought. it locks out aggro when buffed and it's a lot of sticky stats.
I do think it's important for the meta that the strongest decks, mage and warrior, now have more rougher matchups, especially mage. Mage is still broken but there are decks that can check it as long as they don't highroll their ass off. As the meta settles, we will see that mage is still broken and hopefully it gets the nerf.
I've been seeing a lot more Reno decks to take advantage of the new cards. Zephrys the Great always offers a useful card although he can't save you from certain death. There's been less Big Priest and more Priest experimentation. For myself I'm still tweaking my Priest Quest deck and I'm currently 15-15. If you can stabilize the board you win more often than not. IF. Same for Quest Druid. If you don't dominate enough early Druid can bounce back in a roar. Quest Druid loves getting the Coin.
If you are talking about Activate the Obelisk Priest, a lot of those decks I run across would be better if they cut the quest or mulligan it. In so many matches in both standard and wild being down one card at the start hurts a lot, and the deck is already pretty good without it.
I would say that during the dry seasons of HS, when the meta is figured out and the card changes have already happened, to go back into older expansions and do some digging on those. I never got to raid Naxxramas, Karazhan, or Blackrock Mountain in my WoW days so it'd be nice to get some refreshers on sets of the past.
Wild is the same as it ever was. At least this early on.

Moved to Off-Topic, probably should have been here long time ago :p
What? Off-Topic? Why? You are getting a lot of feedback for this amazing and wonderful new forum because all of this, moving this thread to the Off-Topic section doesn't make any sense to me... Could you explain your decision, please? I'm not going to tell you what to do, especially because you are a mod, but I would appreciate a nice explanation here. :) :) :)
I used Token Druid for most of the day. I watched what other decks people played and how they played them. I like to sit back and learn first. Then I experimented with my hunter deck. I will have to do some crafting so I need to know which hero deck I like before fully committing.
I feel the same honestly...the whole "new" aspect kind of loses me once you start realising the vast power difference between the quests.
Like, it's all fun and games playing Quest Warlock until you realize that even with a deck perfectly geared towards beating aggression you still just get run down because some classes just get to do unfair stuff so you basically are forced to also play a deck with unfair stuff or else you can't win.
It's just tiring when expansion after expansion deckbuilding is irrelevant compared to just stacking the most powerful cards available
I dont know what game are you playing, but it must not be the same one i am. New quest decks popping up everywhere. Highlander decks too. Sure, there are still some Bomb Warriors, but there are a lot of new decks too.
If you say everything stayed the same, then i dont know what to tell you. Maybe you do need to take a break for a longer period of time and comeback when new Standard rotation happens or dunno.
Had a crazy arena match! I'm playing Priest with a 1-2 deck. Not the best draft ever. Playing against a Paladin who had a great draft... I'm staring down at a full board with things like Sea Giant and some huge taunts on it, sitting at 5 HP. I think to myself... "if I don't draw Mass Hysteria, it gg." The RNG gods smiled upon me, and there pops up Mass Hysteria! Now I just needs some more good RNG... and the RNG gods smile upon me again, clearing his entire board except for 1 minion, which I promptly Void Ripper into a 2 attack minion.
I'm barely alive, but have a chance! He throws out a Sunwalker and hero powers to set up lethal. Alas, it appears I only stalled my imminent demise. One card can save me, my single copy of Mind Control hiding somewhere in my deck. My turn begins, and out pops none other than Mind Control. I promptly steal his Sunwalker.
From there I stabilized and he eventually conceded. Praise be to Yogg!

My only concern is Priests in general, especially with Mass Dispel and Plague of Death.
Also, have you thought about Carnivorous Cube?

What Lore topics would you like to see in the future?
Karazhan is my favourite hearthstone place, while Gilneas is where I started my only wow adventures so much years ago.
From a lore point of view, the story of Arthas is surely the most interesting.

Gaming Fatigue is a personal factor, much more than an objective issue with the game itself.
Btw, new decks don't pop up immediately, or obviously. They take a lot of refinement and effort.
That is true at least in a dynamic meta.
If the opposite was true, if decks emerged so obviously, it would mean we were in front of broken powercreep...
So yeah. It's not an issue of RoS or SoU. It's just a personal issue that may occur with gaming.

How To: Collection Filters
Hi everybody,
I want to search for the extra copies of cards. Becouse I don't want to press the disenchant bottom yet.
Do you remember how to do it?
I think I was able to do so....
Thanks
