its good to know that my druid deck makes a better deck for the priest than the priest already is.
Can't even play 8/8 taunts without them saving up a mind control and then stealing cards in my deck

Yeah you really need to bait/force out the MC and shadow word: death before using your biggest guys. Clever trades and som rush on their health is usually the answer.
I dunno man, but Brawl is a dead card in a lot of match-ups and when it isn't it can still spectacularly backfire. You could make an argument for running one in your deck (Though I have removed it from my deck entirely due to it backfiring too much), but two is just too much. You really don't want to run out of cards and then draw two Brawls in the next turns. Also; where's the Whirlwinds? They're just so useful in this deck. Use it to buff up Berserker, Execute any enemy, destroy Divine Shields or just to get more value out of your Acolyte. You're probably tempted to keep Blood Knight in your hand just so you can have a counter against one Divine Shield, so it's a dead card in your hand for quite some time. I also can't imagine running Warrior without any Armorsmiths. I run 2, and they have turned the game around for me from 5 health to 5 health 30+ armor a few times now. A Faceless Manipulator might also be worth considering (Copy their Rag, then Slam + Execute, Copy your own Armorsmith + Whirlwind for more armor and more Berserker buff, etc.).Been running this (+ Alexstracza at the bottom). Feel free to critique.
The Brawls I jumped up to two because I was running into a ridiculous amount of Handlocks / Zoo decks / works well against midgame Hunters sometimes, but it's probably the card I'm swapping in and out the most.
I know! I just want Hogger to be a hero, is all.

Just got my 3rd 12 win arena run. Got such incredible value cards that all wins were pretty easy bar 2 loses where I drew shockingly and the opponent was super fast.
3 Yetis
2 Water Elementals
3 Fireballs
An Ogre
Flamestrike
a clutch counter-spell
other assorted average to good cards (per AntiGravity's list which I base choices off). It's probably massively olut of date by now though isn't it?
Was too hard to trade well with me (had 2 or 3 heals as well). Makes me feel better about getting rolled 0-3 as a Rogue.

Never played this before, downloaded for iPad yesterday, been playing all night. Thanks, Patrick Klepek.
Any meta that has Hunters or Warriors in it.. which has been most of them.
What class are you playing?

If it makes you feel better, yesterday I turned a 2-23 against a Rogue, who was behaving the same way as the person you're talking about, into an 8-0 after I drew Jaraxxus and other lucky cards.
Close to the end they were ending the turns more quickly.
On casual too.

Put in some Blood Knights? If I knew ~100% of my matches my opponent would throw a squire out, I'd definitely start using them. 6/6 on the second turn is a decent opening.
They are 400 dust each and epics, not exact easy to get especially for the average user.

400 dust is not that hard either if you average a pack a day. A week's worth of play, assuming you don't rng a few epics/golds to speed up the dust. I think a lot of people purposely gimp themselves by not disenchanting everything they don't reasonably use. There's no point in having a collector's mentality with this game when you can instantly make any card.
Yo what? I just faced a Miracle Priest who played Shadow Word: Death on his own Sylvanas to steal my Concealed Auctioneer. That's fine and clever, but the Auctioneer then kept Stealth through my next turn. WTF is this shit. I played Conceal, which means that the Stealth should end on my next turn. The effect should still respect its original caster, not reset upon a change of control. That's some wonky shit.
@Minsc: I guess I'll throw out one Faceless Manipulator for the one Blood Knight I have at the moment.

All it takes is five minutes of search on google and they'll find plenty of websites with very helpful deck guides.

No, by playing the ai until you reach level 10 on a class. You can then build a deck that can get to legendary rank.

Armorsmith is a great counter to Argent Squire. At that point you've turned their potential 2-for-1 into a potential 1-for-3. You have to be patient with Control Warrior and realize not everything on the board is an immediate threat.
Sure, and that's why I mentioned Coin + Armorsmith, but that requires you getting the Coin and an Armorsmith in your opening hand and it still doesn't make Argent Squire less annoying. ;-P

Playing Warlock and getting a Blood Imp and an Argent Squire in the opening hand or mulligan = DREAM COME TRUE.
The best start I ever got as a Warlock against a Druid..
Turn 1 Voidwalker
Turn 2 Demon Fire, blueberry is now a Tazdingo
Turn 3 Shattered Sun Cleric
Turn 4 Demon Fire + Faerie Dragon.. now have a 6/8 Voidwalker, a 3/2 and another 3/2 that can't be nuked.
Keeper of the Grove would have made me sad, but it didn't happen so he was toast.
I have to say I'm having the enjoyment with my Warrior Control deck, so much synergy and cheap removal in their deck.
My favourite combo has to be putting down Brawl when you only have a Slyvanas on the board and they have 3+ minions on their side, such a win/win combo.
I had to save up so much dust though for those legendaries. :'(
I really enjoy Priest as well, it's just a shame they only start to really kick in from turn 5, at which point you're doing everything you can to survive and draw. Still, Thoughtsteal is pretty much the best card in the game.

Voidwalker cracks me up every time it gets played. Day9 made a joke about how it reminds him of his ex-girlfriend.. "Why do you call?"
And so now everytime I imagine a new scenario where the Voidwalker is fed up with the person who's calling him. Telemarketer. Inlaws. Whatever.

As a newcomer, this game is crack. I started watching Trump streams and boy can the game end within a few turns when the right cards drop. Also I wish the game showed you how to use the starting class decks. I mean you go right into a game, I was getting wrecked as a Shaman because I thought to myself "Rockbiter Weapon/Windfury on a high cost minion will let me win the game!" Doesn't help if you can't keep minions out, which I realized after a few losses.
Throwing this out here one last time before the deadline tonight at 11:59pm. If anyone else is interested in the GAF Hearthstone Tourney, feel free to sign up. Yummy delicious prizes and everything.

Playing ranked is turning into a real chore. It's not enjoyable at all for me any more.
I control everything and am close to victory and then they start to play those 3-4 legendaries/epics that just turns the game around in an instant and there's little I can do about it because their effects happen as they are played, not on their next turn.
Rogues play Jenkins, then draw him back, then play him again, then draw him back, then play him again. Or buff him to like 14 damage on the second go. Black knight that kills any taunt as a battlecry. The one that lowers my HP to 15, so playing perfectly didn't matter at all in the end. Ragnaros. Ysera.
It's like, I can play seemingly perfectly and get close to winning, but then it's just luck of the draw if the last turns end up as they hoped or not. And that sounds fine in theory right? But I don't enjoy a game where it comes down to luck in the end. There's too much RNG in Hearthstone for me to enjoy the ranked mode. And when their RNG nets them these powerful legendaries and my RNG can't, because I don't have those, then it gets a bit boring.
Arena is fun because it's equal and random but ranked is just 3-4 builds these days and the game devolves into "wonder which of the 4 classes I will play against and wonder who has the most luck with the draw. If I have the most luck, I will win. If he has the most luck, he will win". And I wonder why I bother playing game after game just to.. find out.
/end of pointless rant.
And just for the record, I'm not saying the game is bad or anything. I'm simply saying that I personally find the ranked mode at single digit ranks to be boring. The meta-game in ranked mode has turned it into something boring for me, that's all.

Didn't join in because I'm EU, but just realized I can just switch to NA client and try to play with a basic deck. Might jump in after all.

one legendary per deck makes the tournament unexciting for me. I don't even play legendary heavy decks, but there is no point to this

Hope they nerf something for miracle rogues.
Almost as unfun to play against as overall zoo.
Not sure which card though.
I know Gadgetzan is their main trick, but I feel that card is balanced ok.

I disagree with you. I've lost way too many matches to a Brawl or Gorehowl. One should be enough but the card is way too strong to just ignore it
Yes.
yeah, but it'll take months to get the cards you want
