Can we like lock this thread or something already. It's basically becoming a yearly cycle at this point where Kaladin shows up, asks for a deck, and then starts dismissing every single tier 1 deck as 'terrible', 'godawful', etc. because he can't win with them.
But it's definitely not him, no no. His opponents are just always super lucky to always be topdecking the perfect answer and always having god hands. It's a broken record at this point.
I am legitimately asking for help and clearly frustrated at the outcome thus far.
Before you dismiss my comments as exaggerations or refusing to take responsibility for my losses........why don't you spectate a game or two of mine?
1. Have you ever considered that switching the deck after every other loss or so may actually hurt you more than it helps?
2. Considering the amount of games you've supposedly played, based on your posts in this thread, it's virtually impossible that every single of those losses is solely because you're extremely unlucky. I'd rather not waste my time watching replays of someone who's clearly not willing to listen and/or improve themselves.
1. I don't switch decks after one or two losses. I played around 30 games with Control Priest and it was terrible, I've played over 30 games with Rush Warrior and it's at least positive winrate, which is saying quite a bit since I'm still learning the deck. I do still believe that Hunter is a tough matchup and Priest/Warlock are near auto losses. So I guess the strength of the deck is just dependent on the local meta.
2. Sure but neither are these losses purely because I misplay. I am here to improve, whether you think I'm lying or not. I made some changes, using the nohandsgamer decklist instead another one I was using, and so far it seems to be much stronger.

control priest is just god awful for me, and I'm a long time priest player. IMO it seems like D5 zero stars is a big clusterfuck of random decks that people try out because they dont care to hit legend and are just trying things out because of the floor, and the real pre-legend meta begins at D4.
so, aggro face hunter then? im getting my ass kicked while playing near perfect priest games.
edit: 41 games with "control" priest, 39% wr. terrible deck against all 5 versions of paladin, both versions of druid, both versions of DH, playing 20 cards against warlock sucks, barely contends with rush warrior, is abysmal against aggro face hunter.....what does this even beat?
been playing priest since gvg, i know it doesn't play itself.
but you shouldn't be losing 90% with it either. the meta has changed, need a new deck. priest gets crushed because people hate it, but for some reason find paladin fun and rewarding.
update: control priest is 100% hot garbage, as it only beats meta decks, and loses to a bunch of new iterations of aggro, such as murloc paladin, handbuff druid, and "always draws the absolute nuts" hunter.
oh ok, sadly i only play on EU. was curious to see some of the matches. well good luck, i did enjoy the priest deck, i recommend trying it out without soul mirror and see how u like it and then craft the card if u like the style of the deck and have a nice winrate
first matchup was the mirror and 5 mankirks was pretty hilarious
edit: although I have to say fuck tickatus. w/o the 2nd most broken card in the game making your opponent play with 2/3 of a full deck, control warlock would be garbage.
If it's possible that I can get to diamond 5 but am actually just really bad at the game, its possible that people just consistently outdraw me and I get as unlucky as I claim.
Paladin is just really bad for me, over 10 games its only slightly better than poison rogue, but at least its not losing. 50% wr over 10 games.
edit: wr has improved, but I did face some truly rough matchups and bad draws. i didnt really look at the decklist, i just copied the code, and no lie for the first 3 games I didnt even realize the secret weapon was in the deck because I never drew it.
i think libram paladin dropped its winrate lately mainly cause of the nerfs to penflinger. theres a minion aggro pally and theres a secret version which isnt aggro, is more a midrange type. try it out:
whats the general strategy vs spell mage? im running into the problem where they have so much burn and removal that i never seem to gain tempo.
edit: good morning downvote brigade! you guys stay classy!

Thanks for posting the guides, I'll check those all out.
Can you not? If you have a problem with me or my posts, message me directly.

do you guys lose after 10 minutes of playing or concede immediately if you queue into warlock with rush warrior?
im not sure which is the better play.
STOP DOWNVOTING LEGITIMATE POSTS. GOD DAMN.
how do i play rush warrior, is there a guide somewhere, im losing quite a bit with it
edit: this deck seems ridiculously bad. can someone recommend me an actually good deck? thanks.
might reluctantly give rush warrior a try.

"its not a new meta" but ive ONLY faced different decks ive not seen that hard counter priest, all day.
began the day at rank 2 1 star, currently at rank 5 zero stars
'not a new meta' and ive just got to play through it.
been playing priest since gvg, i know it doesn't play itself.
but you shouldn't be losing 90% with it either. the meta has changed, need a new deck. priest gets crushed because people hate it, but for some reason find paladin fun and rewarding.
why are you guys not talking about cthun druid? it absolutely DEMOLISHES control priest.
try again, need a different deck.

is it absolutely required that i have soul mirror

gets completely crushed by rush warrior and face hunter. can't see this being viable.
25% wr so far. great deck.
i gave up libram paladin after going 0-4 with it.
pretty sure im gonna stop playing ladder until the next meta.
nevermind that deck is total garbage
playing paladin now
rip me
