In order for Priest to even have a chance against classic Handlock, they need to be running double Lightbomb and double SW
. Dragon Priest doesn't stand a chance unless the Handlock draws extraordinarily bad which can happen because Dragon Priest doesn't run as much AOE.paperboywriter

So i played a match today and can you guess what's wrong with this image?
All i can say is wow that doesn't happen often

Only reason not to is because of the time investment.
It's your highest achieved rank that matters. Is there any disadvantages to trying to get a higher rank but falling back some in the process?
No, it keeps your highest rank for the monthly rewards

I recommend not aiming for legend, just keep playing and trying to improve. Try to read the meta and play decks that are suited for it. You'll get there eventually even if you only play a couple hours a week.

Which dragon priest doesn't run double deaths? I run only one lightbomb and I don't feel too bad against handlocks. Then again my list is more greedy than the typical midrangey "slam every dragon I have in there" type of decks.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Of my past 10 games 8 were secret Pally.
I don't even know what to say at this point.

It's gotten really boring, 80% of the ladder is secret santa.

"Everyone, get in here" is a good place to start.
I don't think I've won a game in 5 days.
I log in. Try to clear some of my quests, lose 2-3 in a row and then just Alt-F4 out of the game.
I used to clear all the daily quests the moment they appeared in all 3 regions and now I just don't give a shit.
Time for a couple weeks off I guess. Worst part is I have this constant nagging thought that I'm "losing money" since I'm not properly clearing all my quests in time.

I started playing with an a-blade and dr. balanced in oil rogue for 20 games or so the other night and the deck felt substantially better.

That's brutal. I didn't get a screen cap of it, but the other day I managed to get a 25 damage Gromm with 3X Nightmare pulled from Ysera.
Don't let that feeling take over. I used to get that way about Daily Quests in WoW. Eventually that became my impetus to quit, too much worrying over stupid dailies that weren't even fun. I imagine if I ever get that way about HS I'd want to quit as well.
Your problem is that you're playing all 3 regions. Unless you're trying to be an E-Sport Hearthstone Professional Player EleGiggle, there's no point in doing that.

I think I was right about shaman vs paladin. So far I am 7-3 vs paladin running a shaman deck I threw together.
The version with 1 feral spirit went 5-1 and the version with 1 loatheb instead of feral spirit went 2-2. Although I have to admit the curve on those 2 losses were just sick secret keeper starts as well.
There seem to be a couple reasons. But lets say I am about even with the paladin come their MC turn. I am running double bgh (reynad inspired choice) so I have a removal for the buffed MC and even dr. boom if they run it. Then there is double hex which is fairly standard.
So if I come out after that fairly okay, I have won. Even when they have tirion soon after, even without hex, I have won. I attribute these late game wins to two things. Taunt totem and thunderbluff valiant. Cause if I can clean up their board (usually can due to lightning storm or just minions like dr. boom myself), the paladin generally can't break through a 0/2 taunt easily. I also have defender of argus x2. Between taunts and pressure from valiant, its an easy win.
I am also running 1 copy of garrison commander and it is actually quite useful. In shaman you might only need get value off him once before trading in. Because the totems fill up very fast and after 2 uses of him you can't even summon more totems anyway. This limitation probably explains why justicar trueheart doesn't let shaman get double totems. The single choice totem might actually be stronger because you can summon a totem regardless of what totems you have on the board already. Synergy with valiant in that way too.

Oh yeah baby purely with my own created Dragon Mage.
6 down(Priest,Warlock,Shaman,Mage,Warrior,Hunter) 3 to go.
Am I the only one who absolutely hates playing against dragon priests?
They're not impossible to win against, but sometimes things just feel a bit too much and one sided. 1 mana 2/3, 2 mana 2/4 with taunt, 3 mana 3/5, 4 mana 3/6 with taunt, if they get at least 2 of those in their opening hand they just proceed to completely control the board, since they can just kill a minion and heal back up. Not to mention they can buff up those minions to make them even harder to deal with. All I can do is hope they don't have any other dragons in their hand to trigger the battlecry, but who am I kidding they usually do.
Ugh.

Never accept.
Fitting game to rank up to 5 with.
Both secret keepers, competitive spirit, avenge...he spent turn 3 doing muster and killing the juggler while popping his spider which made one a 7/7.
Topdeck consecrate to board wipe, hit for a million damage.

only secrets you play yourself
Ladder is probably better to test some fun decks, opened a golden ball of spiders and just wanted to play it for fun, every game was face face face, all classes. Is it really too hard to have a mode where you don't earn anything? I guess I should just play practice mode...
A few games of this so called 'casual mode' and any new player will run away.

Or your opponent.
I play Patron on casual to do dailies because I'm too much of a chicken to play it on ladder.

Secret Keeper works with any user-played secrets. So if the opponent hunter plays a secret while secret keeper is out, she will get +1+1
If MC or Mad Scientist brings out a secret, the buff doesn't trigger.
Yup, this. I actually misplayed earlier and played a mage secret from hand and buffed the pally secret keeper before killing it.
But it has to be from hand, so a turn 7 keeper + challenger won't buff her at all.

God I love when the enemy Deathlord wins an Arena match for me. Thanks for the turn 4 Molten Giant buddy.

I think people like you are called sadists.

I think the word you are looking for is masochist, sadists like to inflict plain not receive it. For example ZealousD would be a masochist when playing aggro priest while he would be a sadist when playing face hunter.
