When you get 1st place in BG with Golden Kangor's Apprentice, Golden Foe Reaper 4000, Golden Mechano-Egg, Golden Baron Rivendare and Golden Kaboom Bot. 

3 matches vs the final boss for 1st place. They didn't stand a chance once my board had all of that on it for the last go. Not going to have luck like that in BG for a while, guess I better mess around on ladder for a while.

1. That is "a" win condition. But most of the games you will win by controlling the board and getting chip damage

2. Not a lot of fodder minions? Sinister Deal EVIL Genius Elven Archer Bloodmage Thalnos, how much more fodder are you wanting? I have had no issues pulling off Plague of Flames

Here's Reno's HP confirmed on the HS subreddit

Casino Mage just got a new toy. All praise Yogg and Reno!

I know I have been running into nothing but Rogue and Mage

Well deserved!! This is too cool of news not to share! 

Confirmed! The "good" classes are getting hero cards of their own! I knew it! This will be a great meta shakeup! 

May I present: Exhibit A:

I was at 6 Health. which I'm sure my opponent would have no issues removing next turn. My only true hope, wish for a miracle from Jepetto Joybuzz pulling the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza I know is one of two minions still in my deck. 

Jepetto Joybuzz --> 1-mana Dragonqueen Alexstrasza = 2x 0-mana Dragonqueen Alexstrasza

I have 10 cards in hand, and 2x 0-mana Dragonqueens 

I play 1 to get 1 more 0 mana dragon, and get Alexstrasza to pull myself out of lethal range.

Won the following turn

I didn't deserve this win. Was it fun? Yes. Was it a fun way for my opponent to lose? No. The possibility for cards to go infinite is something they should really try and avoid. 

My biggest complaint with the nerf is that it isn't standard across all cards that could potentially generate themselves.

I think it would have been better to increase the mana to 7, and keep the +3/+3.

But, this nerf will do the trick too. Still playable, no longer stupidly broken. I really can't believe this card made it to release.

Not nerfed hard enough. Should have increased cost to 4 mana as well. 

Maybe they'll finally apply this to all self-generating cards!!!! 

The nerf - not really necessary, but definitely a healthy move. The multiple Dragonqueen high-rolls will be missed, but really shouldn't be in the game.

I think the only reason this was nerfed, was to stealth nerf Veiled Worshipper to be less likely to play on-curve on turn 4. I'm not sure why they didn't just nerf Veiled Worshipper to 5 mana. If I wore an Aluminum Foil Hat, I might say that's because of the rarity difference between the cards.

One of the brawls that I really wish they would stop bringing back.

I hate what those community sites and netdecking make the game.

 

- posted on a HS community site 

I've been playing a Highlander Malygos ft. Jepetto Hunter Deck, that took me from rank 7-4 this month.

Does that make me more "off-meta" than you?

Or does that mean too many people are playing Maly Hunter now, thus making your deck no longer "off-meta" enough for you?

I have been playing a bit of Quest Hunter. It's very possibly a meta breaker depending on what the meta is like at the moment. Expect to see more of this deck soon. 

Thanks for a great 2019 Flux and team! I look forward to all the fantastic things you will bring the community in 2020!

The last round of nerfs did a lot more than I expected, however I was expecting a second patch after they returned from break. 

Here are my predictions:

Galakrond Decks:

• Galakrond Shaman survived the first round of nerfs, and has adapted to the changes, finding a new solid game plan with Spirit of the Frog. I think they need to remove Rush from all Galakrond invoke/summoned minions. I could be wrong, but I think without that change, this deck will just continue to be problematic to the health of the meta no matter how many cards they nerf into the ground. Prediction: Dragon's Pack nerfed to 7 mana.
• Galakrond Rogue I don't find any issue with personally. The main issue with Rogue does not lie in the Galakrond cards, but a certain pesky Deathrattle minon which I will address later on. Prediction: Galakrond Rogue receives no nerfs
• Galakrond Warrior is going to be another tricky one to nerf properly similar to Shaman. Our poor friend Fluffy Kibbler Dragon is the most likely candidate to receive the nerf hammer, which is unfortunate given how much fun I've been having with the card. Ritual Chopper is another likely target for nerfs, though I think the bigger issue at hand, is the 3 attack given from Invoking/Galakrond's HP. I think 2 attack would be more reasonable, but I don't think Blizz will make that change. I'll address the pirates later on. Prediction: Fluffy Kibbler Dragon nerf to 5 mana, Ritual Chopper nerf to 3 mana.
• Galakrond Warlock is fine. Prediction: some unnecessary overly harsh nerf that makes no sense
• Galakrond Priest is garbage. Prediction: see Warlock prediction

Non-Galakrond Decks

• Deathrattle Rogue is centered around 1 problematic card. Necrium Apothecary. Anything cheating out late game effects is going to cause issues. I'm guessing, blizzard doesn't nerf this hard enough. I'm personally hoping it gets nerfed to 6 mana, but think that's unlikely. Prediction: Necrium Apothecary nerfed to 5 mana
• Pirate Warrior I actually don't think Standard is the main reason for a nerf. Pirate Warrior is a much bigger issue in Wild. Galakrond without pirates is a better deck, but maybe they are trying to be preemptive? Skybarge isn't as problematic as I thought it would be, though should probably be reduced to 4 health. Ancharrr is the biggest problem, and it's fairly obvious why and makes me wonder how they thought this card was a good idea to print. We have already learned that good card draw with aggro is a recipe for disaster. Add in the fact that Hoard Pillager exists now... Prediction: Ancharrr nerfed to 4 mana and 2 durability

I've always thought they should add a "Time Travel" mode. 

A new form of standard where you actually have a chance to play decks of the past in the meta they were originally played in.

Each month the mode will rotate to a new "meta"

Ex:

• January - Knights of the Frozen Throne - Only sets that were available in Standard during KoFT can be used
• February - The Boomsday Project - Only sets that were available in Standard during BP can be used
• etc etc

 Maybe have special rewards for the mode that give out packs from that meta to help newer players develop their wild sets, which could help improve the health of wild if more people have a larger collection to work with. 

Zoolock is favored vs Quest Priest

Most Highlander lists are favored as well

Combo is the best option, Holy Wrath Paladin, or your Maly Druid as EpicHercules already discussed.

You won't be able to smorc them down unless you have god draws. The Quest Priest deck became popular as a direct response to Face Hunter. 

What is your Rogue list you are using? Rogue is sitting as the best class to counter Priest according to the stats on hsreplay. Rogue's worst deck vs quest priest is deathrattle, which Priest only wins 47% of the time (as of this writing) Maly OTK Rogue is the hardest Priest counter (32% winrate for Priest). 

hsreplay.net quest resurrect priest

Update: Having a lot of fun with this list. Nothing like being sad about drawing your Maly, only to get a 0 cost one the next turn from the Dragonqueen. Opponents don't expect what is coming in your late game because they just assume you're a normal Highlander Hunter. I'm at rank 7 with the deck, and feel like I could probably hit rank 5 with this.

Quote From RavenSunHS

I don't care too much of a delayed or canceled Brawl. I do understand most devs are on holiday.

But hell, not even a notification saying "sorry for the issue"?!? Is this how much they care for the players?!?

C'mon...

Well it's frustrating because most of us don't get to just stop working for a month for holiday. They've already been off for weeks, is it really that hard for one person to hop on and post an update for the community? Just sayin... They aren't starting 2020 off on the right foot with communicating with the communit
