Just played a Secredin vs Secredin game. Pretty fun. Interesting to see how he used a Sunwalker + redemption combo, but I think the deck doesn't need anymore 6 drops. Prefer playing Belcher/Loatheb on turn 5 into Mysterious Challenger on 6. MC will be played at turn 6 at all times and else u have Murloc Knight at 6. My Boom Bots were MVP though. I ran one into a Sunwalker and the bomb killed a 1/1 recruit of him which procced the redemption. XD Had exactly lethal with my other minions + Truesilver.

This is where my paladin deck is at currently:
This version went 10-5, granted maybe 1 win was a bit sketchy since the opponent kinda left early.
I'm still not convinced murloc knight is worth including.
Previous version.
A lot of people have trouble keeping up with double recruit hero power to the point where I don't think kelthuzad is really that necessary to the late game attrition strategy.

So I gave Beast Druid a try (put in all the new druid beasts). I've concluded that Knight of the Wild is terrible most of the time.
Even if you happen to get him in the opening hand, you would have to be able to play 3 consecutive beasts (coin haunted creeper into another creeper/DotS then DotF) in order to drop him on T4, and that's like the best case scenario. If you start without the coin, you're going to need an Innervate. I would much rather just use Ancient of Lores instead.
The current version of the deck I'm using:
Not too sure how to optimize it from here. Thinking of maybe dropping one Wild Walker, Shredder or Belcher for either Emperor or Sylvanas.

Remember that reddit post by someone who was dying from cancer a while ago? Apparently dreadsteed's flavor text is "Crescendo himself summoned this steed, riding it to victory in the Grand Tournament. Wherever he rides, an army of riders ride behind him, supporting the legendary champion." and Crescendo is the name of that reddit user.

I think this guy regretted playing Dreadsteed.
The counter!

Basically, heal, sweep the board and win the late game by either my big minions or just a lot of silver hands. No minions below 5 so I haven't lost a joust yet. But I kinda wanna test out Eadric for more control, if he is worth crafting.

Who did I piss off at Blizzard?
it can be improved though. I swapped out the shredders for imp gang boss because it's really lacking in 3 drops and I needed some help against aggression. I'm also going to experiment with Dread Infernals in this deck. That might also shore it up against aggression and will do nothing to your Dreadsteeds.
Same time the new season starts and you get the card back and bonus stars.

Finally made it to rank 5... playing Face Hunter. Went from 22 up to 9 with Midrange Hunter before TGT was released (I was an Arena only player before the awards were announced), then messed around with Patron and dropped to 13, then got to 6 with Dragon Priest before running into a wall of deeper control decks and super-tempo secret/token Paladins and falling back to 8, before going back to the most boring deck of all and rocketing up to 5 in an hour.
Nah, that sounds un-cancerous.

paladins are new cancer of hearthstone holy shit. And we all thought mysterious challenger was garbage when it was revealed me included.
Dreadsteed is probably my favorite card in the expansion. And it's not because it's the best one.
Yeah, I agree. Building my Dreadsteed deck has been the most fun since the set came out.

i tried playing dread steed, i really wanted it to work. I failed hard.
This so much. Paladin everywhere.
What's the best deck vs paladin? Patron I guess?
It's not a competitive format. This week is "try out the new cards."
Yes. Sometimes Control Warrior because of brawl.
Agree, Kripp's can be improved a lot. TidesofTime added two Doomsayers and it seemed to help a ton as well.
It's going to be a lot of fun tinkering with it.

I think (Face) Hunter is heavily favoured if it runs Flare. Flooding the board with junk is generally a bad idea against Hunter due to Explosive Trap and UTH, it has the best anti-secret card in the game, and can reliably contest the board in turns 1-3. Racing will usually lose against Face Hunter and Divine Favour is less of a recovery tool. If it's a Paladin with tons of healing and Taunts it'll likely win though.

LOL i had lethal on board vs a druid and i had 2 hp and i dunno why but i tapped, i fucking tapped losing the game. i am not even mad.
fearless tapping.
There are soooooooo many cards i need so it feels pretty bad when i finish daily quests and open up my one pack to find redundant commons for the few i have and an iffy alarm bot rare.
Aside from Patron classic-style Combo-Control Priest with Wild Pyro, Auchenai+CoH etc. should wreck Scumadin face pretty hard, but other matchups might be nasty.
Any one of them is fine, I've won 23/28 games with a mixture of all classes to do all my dailies.
LMAO @ the Flare meta!
Oh man.
That reminds me of my first match against Hunter when I started playing.
I thought Flare was overpowered. Now I think other classes need something similar aside from KM.
Streaming Hearthstone (and other games) again, gonna make my normal schedule weekend mornings. Enjoy the salt!
I was thinking about Mistcaller. Is there a single card that is being run in competitive decks whose effect does not have immediate value? How many of those cards are there even? Gang Up is an example of a card that does nothing when you play it, and it is only run in mill decks which can almost guarantee that they'll draw the Coldlight Oracle they used it on because they have more than one Coldlight Oracle, or the tools to draw out the game until they draw at least one of the ones Gang Up put in their deck.
Is "tempo" the term to use here? Cards without "tempo"?
Death's Bite is almost an example I guess? You get 4 damage right away but most Warriors keep the second charge to use the Whirlwind effect on a later turn.
Edit: Haunted Creeper? I guess?

Armorsmith too. There's more of these than I though.
I was playing the Dreadsteed-deck Noxious is running on stream right now. Faced a Rogue, who played a naked Saraad on turn 5. I couldn't deal with it, but I had Voidcaller and Dreadsteed on board after that. I kill my Voidcaller and get Malganis out.
He inspires and gets Sac Pact. HOW MANY SPELLS ARE THERE IN THIS GAME, AND HE GETS FUCKING SAC PACT?!

I don't know the full game situation but I would recommend not killing an 8 drop if there might be an effigy on the board lol
