Thanks! I've been playing variations of this deck for a long time, so I had a lot to say about it.

My favorite Wild deck is this; I play a game with it almost every week even when I'm mostly laddering Standard:

The main reason I like it is that I just like playing big minions, which this deck does to an extreme. But with Mecha'thun as a backup win condition, you're not powerless against heavy control opponents.

I also like the fact that it uses a quest that does not see a lot of play; I regularly get a "wow" emote back after I play it.

I wrote a long guide for it, so if this list piques your interest, please click it to get the full story.

There was an Ice Cream Shaman meme deck at some point, but I think Freeze Shaman wasn't even good enough for meme tier.

Some of these look very familiar :)

I got it now, with your hint and another. Kinda embarrassing I didn't think of that given my current forum title ;)

OK, I'll narrow it down:

I think the hint was actually about

Hint:

I'm also missing #13. I'll list the many things I tried that weren't it, maybe something will spark an idea:

Edit: You can look at these for entertainment value, but they're not going to bring you closer to the actual answer.

About #14:

Yeah, there are so many birds that are made of fire, that threw me off at first as well.

I noticed that all the rares I got this month were cards that I had golden copies of, but not yet two regular copies. Which allowed me to disenchant the golden ones for extra dust.

Note that I have two copies of every Standard rare currently. Did the same thing happen to other players in the same situation?

It's 4x for epics and legendaries, but golden rares disenchant for 5x regular (100 vs 20) and commons for 10x (50 vs 5). The worst case for these packs (1500 dust) is about the same as 15 average regular packs.

So if you want to buy dust, this is more efficient than regular packs. But buying dust is very expensive, so I wouldn't recommend doing it at all if you're on a budget.

I made a new deck and this one is actually pretty strong:

This is what I've been playing:

Against most decks your win condition is fatigue, but if your opponent has a low-value deck, you could try to beat them with taunts.

When on the fatigue plan, try to cast Naturalize multiple times per turn, so you burn as many cards as possible.

Oaken Summons is good early on if Deathlord is banned, since you can evade the battlecry of Hecklebot. Don't over-use it though, especially if Naturalize was banned, since you can give up your fatigue advantage that way.

If the opponent has a card that shuffles, ban that if possible.

I got to Gold 1 soon after the expansion, but then dropped all the way back to the Gold 5 rank floor as the meta decks got more refined. But tonight I gave it another shot and I made it to Platinum a few hours before the end of the month.

This was the deck I used:

One thing Hearthstone gets right code-wise is that the server doesn't trust the client. Therefore, the server will validate the deck when a game is started, so even if the client is buggy or hacked, games with invalid decks will be prevented from being started.

There are many possible reasons for a deck to be invalid in Wild: it may contain the wrong number of cards, more than the allowed number of copies of a single card, class cards of the wrong class, non-collectible cards etc.

Copy-pasting the deck code as a new deck, like Thonson suggested, might fix the issue. If it doesn't, then please post the deck code; it would be interesting to see what is going on.

Opening the YOD packs last would be better, I think, since you'd get more out of the duplicate protection that way.

Personally, I only squelch opponents if they're emoting a lot and it is distracting me from planning my turns. But it's not hard to imagine other players being bothered more by emotes and therefore wanting to always squelch. That doesn't mean emotes are a misfeature in general, just that it's not for everyone.
