Oh, wait, I just noticed with a free account of HSReplay I can only see the stats of Bronze through Gold, I thought it was all ranks pooled together. That sucks.
So I finally decided to try to reach Legend for the first time, which seemed doable with the new ladder system. So I crafted Dragon Hunter, which was cheap and, according to Vicious Syndicate, looked quite strong and with fast games, and climbed to Diamond 10 pretty easily. Then I switched to Galakrond Secret Rogue, because I don't like Hunter a lot, and I slowly climbed up to Diamond 6. I progressed quite slowly, so I switched to Dragon Hunter again. But after reaching Diamond 4, my winrate has dropped dramatically, and I've been floating between Diamond 5 and 4 for many days. I even crafted Dragonbane to try to improve my winrate, but to no avail. I thought it was just bad luck (it sometimes happens), but after 3 days of bad luck I think it has to be something else. I don't think the nerf to Scavenger's Ingenuity has been that bad for the deck, maybe it's just that I'm not good enough. Whatever.
I'll probably try again with Galakrond Secret Rogue, but I'm a bit discouraged, I don't have a lot of experience with that deck and I missplay too often; and with only 5 days to go, I don't think it's a good idea to switch to a completely different deck. Any advice?
I wouldn't say HSReplay is terrible, but you have to be a bit cautious with the data. I see that deck has a small sample size (790 games today, I bet it had below 600 the day they wrote this article), and yesterday it had a losing streak with a 20% winrate (maybe because of people reading this article?). Maybe a bit too risky for the last days of the climb...
By the way, I was wrong with stealthed minions, it has 4, 2 copies of Spymistress and 2 of [Hearthstone Card (Skywateer) Not Found].
Are you using the variant above? I'm not sold on it, Greyheart Sage with only 2 stealthed minions sounds weird, and also Alexstrasza seems suboptimal...
I'm Diamond already, I think this month I'm in the right track! I'm not completely F2P tho, I usually spend 20 € per expansion and I purchase some bundles with good value. It would be a feat for me anyway!
Well, part of the problem is that you are using murlocs, but not murloc synergy (well, I'm lying, you are using Toxfin, which has murloc synergy); you are using only dragon synergy. You can use Skyfin and Tasty Flyfish without any other murlocs and use good Rogue tempo cards instead, or remove some dragons/dragon synergy and put some murloc synergy (Coldlight Seer and Murloc Warleader, for example).
By the way, in my opinion Tasty Flyfish is best used if you have some dragons you can play on turn 3, maybe Faerie Dragon.
I also like to play Paladin (my only golden hero besides Rogue). I wish Paladin to gets SOME win condition. Currently aggro decks have no comeback mechanics, control decks have decent board control tools and healing, but has no big threats other than good old Tirion, midrange decks are too slow... Paladin is in the middle of nowhere. Give us something, please!
I'd suggest crafting Shadowjeweler Hanar ASAP so you can play with it before it ends up getting nerfed. That card will win you so many games when it just snowballs the early game.
Nerfed? I don't think so. The card is powerful, but the deck's winrate is not so high as to deserve a nerf.
Congrats! I have not yet achieved legend and I'm playing since Grand Tournament, LOL.
This month I reached Diamond 9 (maybe 8 if I play today) playing mostly unoptimized decks (you know, Libram Paladin, Midrange Dragon Priest and such) and a bit of Secret Galakrond Rogue, so maybe I'd try harder next month, with a good deck, I don't know. I don't have a lot of time to grind, but who knows. It seems easier to achieve Legend with the new system, so maybe it's time already!
It might be related to what kind of people is plaing in your server at that time of the day, maybe because of time zones, working times, and so on. Which decks would most teenagers play? I don't know, but you are going to encounter less of them during school times.

Congrats! I have been stuck at Diamond 5 for more than 1 week, I'm tilted :(

That would be nice, but I don't know if enough interesting decks are being posted to update them faster in the homepage...
I watched a few of the matches and I was surprised to see Highlander Paladin being played. I was not aware it was a thing.
I dislike a lot of decks:
- Face hunter: boring to play, boring to play against
- Highlander decks: maybe they are powerful, but they are expensive and inconsistent.
- I don't play decks heavily using cards which generate random cards. I want to know what resources I have, not rely on some random shit.
- Anyth deck that's flooding the meta (Tempo DH now, Secret Paladin in the early days... whatever).
But well, all my dislikes are reasonable, aren't they? ;)
Well, I got Kanrethad Ebonlocke from a pack and I thought it was garbage, but it seems I was wrong, I'm definitely going to test that Zoolock build!
Nerfed? I don't think so. The card is powerful, but the deck's winrate is not so high as to deserve a nerf.

No idea, I didn't reach legend yet! But congrats!
OoC-ians seems a bit too difficult to me, maybe something like "outofcarders" maybe...
It's a bit of a crazy idea, but if it works, why not? :D
I'd say this is a bug, probably bamboozle into dormant was not foreseen so the interaction does not make sense.
It seem I was lucky, I got 4 legendaries, one of them a golden Chef Nomi! Sadly none of them are currently in the meta, but well, I can't complain!

I don't think so, changes are usually quite conservative. Maybe just cost 5.
Id' like it to be "change attack and health of all enemy minions to 1" or maybe the weapon to be a 2/3, probably that's too much, but I can dream...
