 I mean, obviously it's a tongue-in-cheek comment. The point is simply that just because a year has a name doesn't mean that's going to have any significant …

It's not like we had Kraken, Mammoth or Raven decks previously (although now I come to think of it... why didn't we get Kraken tribals? That'd be way more interesting than dragons...).

…

I've played this one a fair bit at this point. Personally not a fan, but mostly down to my own taste - it doesn't really have a win condition as such, just hopes to stick something on board to be …

Hot take: Achievements are a terrible idea. They wouldn't bring any new players in, and while they'd provide a short-term happiness boost they would lead to a subsequent drop in playrate because having all the achievements gives a perception of …

There are no 'dragon' decks meaning just cramming a load of dragons into a deck (i.e. old Dragon Priest) because Hearthstone has evolved past that point. You'd need to have a huge amount of power gated behind the 'hold a …

Curious why galakrond warrior is so popular all of a sudden since it's not among the strongest decks. 

Depends on the variant. My midrange tempo warrior wrecked Shamans, but now they're dead …

...

And the last of the bunch

In the office that evening

Queued some Hearthstone at lunch

With the nerfs that had changed

The way standard was styled

He decided to change …

Curiously, while Zephrys is a little poor at providing Silence-related cards in this specific context (I agree with an above poster that the combo effect seems to be throwing it off a tad), what Zephrys DOES correctly recognise is that …

Running at 60% against face hunter with a slower tempo warrior build atm.

Then again, I also had a 65% winrate against Shaman, and that was allegedly OP, so what do I know...

RIP Amalgam. Best boy.

Honestly pretty amused at the cluelessness in this thread. Not much point re-hashing old points, though, so may as well just leave the posts to ripen, so I can pull them out in two months' time and shine a spotlight …

Much like a lot of people in this thread already, I heavily disagree with the OP. Aggressive decks have, if anything, been on the weak side for some considerable time now. They are, as iWatchUSleep correctly notes, favoured on ladder …

Honestly getting kinda tired of people whining about secret mage at this point. It's not like the deck can't be countered. My Mech'thun lock ran at 76% winrate against them on the Legend push this season. 

And yet, on my climb from the 12 I was sat at having not really played in two months, to my current rank 4 (haven't played all that much to be honest, managed a respectable 85% winrate getting there), I …

My issue with the 'nerf anti-fun' position is both a) your point on enjoyment being subjective, and a broader b) that people are really bad at knowing what's actually fun.

I realise that statement sounds phenomenally arrogant at first …

-21 and counting. I don't care - frankly, the majority are wrong an awful lot of the time :P

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I really dislike the balance strategy of late. I used to admire what a lot of people have whined about previously - back in the vanilla days, Blizzard were very reluctant to perform …

Personally been having a fair amount of success with a slower variant of Galakrond Warrior than the one shown here, but not a Control list. This is more what I'd class as being a tempo/midrange deck, basically just curving out …

I'm glad this was useful to people, and hope people aren't playing warlock getting beat too bad ;)

That's fair - if I was going to include any tech, it would be that plus 1-2 ASO. I maintain, however, that the BGH include is a next-level tech that will catch a lot of people out.
