For anyone who is sick and tired of Demon Hunters, there aren't that many Demon Hunters in wild. People still play Demon Hunters there, but there aren't nearly as many as there are in standard.
Or at least this has been my experience, I am very sorry if I end up getting your hopes up and then you go to wild and face five Demon Hunters in a row.
You guys seem a little salty. Maybe you should go to the.... wait a minute, where am I? I feel you on the Demon Hunters, I have found that Plot Twist Warlock of all things seems to work pretty well. And it's super fun. I have a deck that I found somewhere and modified a little, so I'll probably put that up in a bit.

First time posting a salty post in the salt thread. I am going to try and stay tame with my salt.
Secret Mage is a bad thing for the health of wild mode. People play Eater of Secrets or extra heals to counter them, but I don't hate secret mage for the secrets or the burn damage (well, I partly do) but I mainly hate Aluneth. This one card gives secret mages way too much umph in the late game, combine that with all of their burst (2 Fireball, 2 Cloud Prince, 2 Medivh's Valet for a total of 30 damage just in burn) and they can just kill you before you fatigue. The only way to get around it is either kill them the same turn they play Aluneth, or run a ton of heals.
I really wish blizzard would nerf this card. The problem with Secret Mage is similar to the problem with Demon Hunters, only less robust. They have a strong aggro base, with a ton of draw so that they will never run out of steam until they die.
I am going to start playing [Hearthstone Card (acidic ooze) Not Found] in my decks while climbing the wild ladder, wish me luck!
*edit* After a long and strenuous climb, I have finally made diamond 10. The last game I was playing a secret mage, who played Aluneth, which I ate with the ooze. That was nice.
Imagine still trying to scam people in the 80g quest trade thread in 2020.
Fucking losers.

You can follow me on Twitter - I am always active and you can tag me to highlight your (or someone else's) 12 wins Duels run or really anything Hearthstone-related!
Kaelthas needs to be changed, that's just a fact. It is leading to an unhealthy metagame being able to just draw cards and then play an entire hand full of BS onto the board or dealing 22 damage to your face while ignoring taunt and healing themselves to full. EIther that card has to be put into a class, because it is way too design limiting to be a neutral, or it needs to be nerfed into the fucking ground. I was one win away from the diamond, something I have been grinding for since the start of this month. ONE WIN. And then I lose to demon hunter combo 4 times in a row. I know demon hunter is its own problem, but that's gonna get nerfed again and it's only in one class. But Kaelthas is used in multiple classes and multiple decks, and most of them are just built around Kaelthas. It needs to be changed, because it's so unfair to just play free card after free card. I'm not playing this game until Blizzard learns how to balance their fucking game that I have spent so much time and money on only to be shit on but BS. I'll be back when this shit's fair to play.
Edit - I came back the next day and decided to play agro demon hunter. Won 5 in a row. Yea DH is a fair and balanced class. At least I'm diamond now and don't have to play ranked for the rest of the season.

Can I stop being the person every single mother fucker gets their perfect game against.
Ranked, Casual, Wild, fucking Arena. Doesn't matter what I try and play the game just fucks me.
I'm just fucking sick of it at this point.
It's not a very pleasant experience to see every deck I play against perform to their S tier potential and when I try with the exact same deck I get C- at best and my new opponent does the exact same thing with a different deck. Rinse and repeat.
Can I just get some good draws and a decent opening hand once in every 10 games please.
I legit think my account has some sort of mark on it that just allows this shit to happen constantly, not like this is a new thing for me but it is more prevalent than ever right now.

Seriously, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to allow Dragonqueen Alexstrasza in arena? Are you fucking kidding me? Bullshit swing plays like that should not be allowed in arena, especially when it is so easy to achieve the no-duplicates rule. Arena decks don't come with a lot of answers to that bullshit. It's game ending and not fun.
Also, how the fuck do all of my opponents draft some stupid powerful legendary and I never get offered a single legendary? And when I finally do, it's always an option between 3 pieces of trash? Well, at least my arena tickets from the pre-order are used up so I can go back to the dumpster fire that is ladder...
WTF Hearthstone is literally at the worst its ever been, ladder is no fun, its literally big decks, hyper aggro or Demon Hunter. Get killed before you can make a turn or simply die to big dude after big dude? Fun. Wild is just... ugh.
After DOD I thought they were finally getting their shit together, but nope. God, what a mess.
Quest Mage needs to DIE. I hope the devs nerf this pathetic piece of shit to oblivion, so all the fucking losers who somehow enjoy playing it will just crawl into a toilet and flush themselves down a septic tank where they fucking belong, and hopefully they all rot there
What's up with the match-making? Why the f am I facing Diamond 5-1 players while trying to get to Platinum 1?
Friend of mine made it to legend last week and is constantly facing Platinum and Diamond players as well. Get your sh.. together, Blizzard. That's just stupid...
Welp today was one of the worst I've ever had - wanted to take a break from laddering by fooling around in Casual with some more fun decks I've not had much chance to use since launch: Spell-Only Mage, "Sneaky" Rogue (secrets + stealth), Big Spells Shaman, "Enrage" Warrior etc.
But alas I forgot the Golden Rule of Hearthstone: Casual on a weekend is reserved for tier-1 decks to gold farm. I seriously went 3-21. Of those, the one and only non-tier 1 deck I saw was one guy running that Raging Worgen OTK Warrior deck.
I'm so seriously tired of making the same complaint over and over: make Casual a place for fun and memery. PLEASE take the gold rewards away for any wins earned in Casual so that people will stop using it to farm (or "train" or play "without the stress of the ladder" or whatever self-justificatory bullshit they want to tell themselves). I just want to get a chance to use my garbage legendaries and try to treat this like a fun game and not a fucking grind.
Hey Blizzard, good job on class identity so far and stuff you know?
The holy paladins are commanded by the fishy scum of the earth, seems about right.
Ooh, and don't forget about how the Necromancer class keeps re-summoning those shady squid people right?
And I'm glad to see that the theme of being a Hunter is kept consistent, with how they rely on technology and Dragons to win. Great job!
Lol well this is the same kinds of people that decided paladins from WoW were all about secrets, that the stealth gankers & stun-lockers known as rogues weren't known for secrets and traps, that shamans were known more for 4 mana 7/7s instead of the elementals and primal fury, and that priests nowadays are in fact not known for mind melting face with dark shadow magic (psh, like Shadowform is a thing).
Oh, and priests are the divine Eragon wrestlers reincarnated.
HS did really funny things with very very loosely interpreting class identity for WoW classes ;)
FEAR ME FOR I AM KING MANDUIN, LORD OF THE SEAGULLS. FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A FUN GAME. COME, FILL YOUR HANDS WITH USELESS 1/1S NAVES.
Just want to say while I like to play with Highlander decks sometimes I hate to play against Zephyr.
Being Highlander is not that much trouble. And it's really horrible to be at the o tj er side of Zephyr when your opponent draws lethal out of hat (or actually Zephyr) as he have answers for everything. Board clear, direct damage, remove taunt.
And even more frustrating is when you play vs non Highlander decks and they still use bith Zephyr and Alexstrasa.

This. I won't go so far as not using him myself so you can rightfully call me a hypocrit, but I hated the card with all my heart ever since it was announced. This has nothing to do with playing well or even RNGesus smiling on you; this is just cheating.

Thought I could do some easy wins to get up to platinum league by Doing some DH. I hadn't played it that much, but everybody's screaming about it being OP, so I bit.
I must really suck. REALLY suck, because on Europe server, there are only off meta decks where I am. Meta report on this site is...inaccurate.
Game 1: Galakrond Quest Shaman. Lost. Game 2: Galakrond Shaman. Lost. Game 3: SPELL MAGE (yeah, they haven't given up on that). Lost. Game 4: Switched to Zoolock. Won in three turns against big Druid. Game 5. Switched to Galakrond Warlock. Won against Resurrect Priest (even when he Albatrossed me for a while).

How is DH OP in Europe? Is it?
Well firstly DH has just been nerfed again so no one knows quite how strong it is.
Secondly that's only 5 games and not enough to draw significant conclusions from either for win rate or meta populations.
Thirdly, I would never complain about encountering off-meta decks. To me that's like finding the Holy Grail and complaining because you were looking for a normal cup.
