All statistics are from HSReplay, accurate as of 9:51 EST yesterday. Sample sizes vary, of course, but most winrates are global for a specific tier (e.g. ranks 5 - Legend).
Combo Priest is definitely my favorite deck right now, but I think the matchup against Highlander / Secret Hunter is pretty terrible. That's been my experience at least, but it's reflected in the stats, too.
Why would you nerf the Druid quest? Deck isn’t that good. Neither is Shaman. You say you chose these nerfs because the quest rewards can’t be countered, but each of these decks are hard-countered by at least two other decks (even control warrior). At this point, I’d be surprised to see a Dr. Boom, Mad Genius nerf (something for which I clamored last expansion) because Quest Pally and Highlander Hunter have kept CW in check.
This is better on curve than Ticket Scalper, so may see play in some Hooktusk decks. Deathrattle is a downside in this case, but don’t underestimate the power of forcing your opponent to play around the effect
Swashburglar. I think Pharaoh Cat definitely sees play; Rogue loves value at the moment. Not sure if it replaces Mecharoo in Hooktusk decks, though. Will be interesting to see if Rogue gets any more Reborn support.
I can do all that :)
Thanks, Jack! We’re currently gauging interest for a Wild meta report, so your voice really matters

You’re lucky. In my games, they have so much early removal that I can’t stick a board. Amet gets there sometimes.

what, in particular, were you thinking of? Just the global winrates that appear on decks?
Nomi's a definite contender. I've also seen lists that run Gadgetzan Auctioneer and try to cycle for a miracle combo.
You still can! I think the deck is definitely unrefined; lots of potential win conditions being tried out.

Loose Specimen is a really cool idea.
Another great piece that brings back memories. We need more naga!
LOL
This is awesome to see. Well done, guys!

This is going to be annoying.
This would be super cool
Another fun option to juice up your hyena in the early game.
Obviously can't compete with Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, but I love this direction for Warrior. Go face, my son!
I don't think it replaces Brawl very often, too conditional. It competes with Brawl, but I guess more removal is more removal in CW's eyes.
