November month 2019. A month where a lot of new content arrives into the game. And a month where Wild is more dead than ever
Because of that I ask you,the players,the streamers and most importantly the developers to help and save the format which is not the most popular one but truly is the oldest one.
There is no doubt that the format has amazingly big deck variety that Standard format can't even dream of. However. There's also no doubt that format has a lot of issues which drags the players away not only from Wild,but from the whole game:
1.The SNIPlock
There's a lot of controversy about this deck. There are some players that are cheating. There are some genuine players. Either way the deck causes amazingly huge frustration and Team 5 still haven't said a clear statement about this deck since the last ban wave. As it stands by now, the deck is one of the only deck in HS history which is placed in Tier S(same as AK47 Druid and Secret Mage at the beginning of Uldum). The deck revolves around certain combo strategies and has: Card draw of a Miracle deck. Clear of Control Warlock. Big boards of Big decks. And finishing force of Cubelock or Mechathunlock. All those traits make this extremely frustrating deck to play against and causes a lot of drama and headache for whole Wild community. It needs to be addressed. Even some clear statement about what is considered cheat and what not will be very helpful. The links below will provide you a closer information about this whole deck

2.The competitive scene of the format
Due to the fact that there's only 1 official Wild tournament. The motivation of players to play Wild and spend money on packs is quite low. As it stands by now there were more streamer vs streamer single player tournaments than all oficial Wild tournaments combined.
3.The card balance and nerfs regarding the Wild format:
This topic was brought not so long time ago and remains unanswered. Wild experienced some really odd card changes and design policy. For anyone interested in closer approach,here is the link to he mentioned thread

All those points contribute to the lowering amount of Wild players which were staying in the game for Wild only. The format has amazing deck variety, astonishing community and streamers like Dane,Roffle,Solem or Control and is home for a lot of old players. It is truly heartbreaking to see the Wild in agony and lack of competitive tournaments and feedback. So I ask you for help and solutions. Spread the word and spread the information about Wild issues.
I would like to end this post with a song which usually helps people to do CPR so we all have a a better chance at saving Wild.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
