Most fun I've been having with this game lately is with Reno Dragon Hunter. Throwing this into that is a no brainer. Who cares if these cards are unplayable in standard, that's not the only game mode!
I love how OP started off with "I don't want this to just be another Big Priest bitching thread..." but the comments devolved this thread into one anyway.
Yeah... I was afraid this would happen.
My point was to try and conclude if Blizzard is out of touch. Like someone said, this was along the lines of "don't you guys have cell phones?"
It truly seems to me, that Blizzard has put no thought into why the play rate is so high. It seems they think a deck can only have a high play rate for 2 reasons (winrate, and fun). I personally think it's being played so much for a 3rd reason, and I was wanting to hear from BP players to get a sense if I was correct. Maybe it would have been better to create a poll...

I don't want this to just be another Big Priest bitching thread. Complaining about Big Priest has done nothing to make Blizzard understand what the problem is.
Instead, I want to hear from people who play Big Priest, and hear why they enjoy playing it.
Let me explain:
In the recent Developers AMA. This was said by Iksar about Big Priest:
"Statistically speaking, Big Priest is pretty average. However, it's one of the most played decks. One of the easiest explanations for this is that players like playing the deck."
I personally consider this statement to be completely out of touch with the community. From everything I've ever seen in discussions with Big Priest, even Priest players hate the deck.
So I want anyone who plays Big Priest, to just post why they play it. I want to get an idea if Blizzard is correct in saying that players like playing it, or if there are other reasons that Blizz is oblivious to for why people play it.

Unless they rework the graveyard mechanic, they’re going to be in a very tough spot continuing trying to come up with cards to keep resurrect priest a thing.

Thanks to the "gift" of 3 free days of WoW time, I was able to go in and clear my WoW gold for some Blizzard Balance. Got the 80 packs for $50. Not bad since I don't play WoW anymore. (BfA is atrocious)

How are people beating this with the warrior deck? I lose every single time to the 7th boss because he burns every single damn bomb. He's at 9 cards, draws 2. First isn't a bomb, 2nd (once his hand is full) is always one of my bombs.

I'll probably just get people telling me to go to the salt thread. But honestly, I'm not salty. I just want to know why Blizzard thinks it's healthy and fun for the game to have Archmage Vargoth casting Time Warp giving mage 3 turns in a row? Guess they feel Time Warp is already too much of an "I win" card for the extra 3rd turn to matter? This opens up mage to not need Archmage Antonidas to get the kill. A full board of decent minions will kill anyone in 3 turns. I really hope they change this interaction to not give 3 turns in a row before it ends up becoming a major problem.

Note: Do not use the regular hearthcards link to post your card. The image will disappear after 3 days! Either generate permanent link on HC, or host your card on imgur or similar site!
Let's start a new game!
Honest Hearthstone Cards! It's like Honest Trailers, but for Hearthstone cards. It will work similarly to the "create a card" game on this site, only it must be existing cards, and you have to change the card to make it "honest". Be creative, and there's no rules for how you can change it. Then pick another card for the next person to do. I will start things off with this...
Now let's see what someone can come up with for...
I had said if they didn't make a Murloc Mummy, I would be disappointed. Glad they made this!

Direct support for Wild. It's time to join the Wild side! Come join us! It's more fun over here!
Finley is a paladin card, can’t be included in Reno mage
Turn 1: Play Archmage Vargoth followed by Time Warp. You opponent concedes and you win!
My first thought: “thank god this isn’t an odd cost card
Most down voted comment I have ever seen on this site

Fuck people who play Odd Pally in casual. Like seriously, wtf?

Worst thing about this game, is when you are 1 win away from rank 5, then go on an 8 game losing streak...

Double gold really would have been better... oh well...

(Side note, when you import Leeroy into hearthcards, it plays his entry sound)
Next:
Some very good ones! How about...
