The more ubiquitous the meta becomes, the easier it is to counter it. For example, I loved the mech mage meta of early gvg because my paladin deck ran all over it and its competitors.
added, i'm Owzers.
Dusted a crowd favorite, master of ceremonies and a recruiter. I hope I don't regret it later, needed the dust. now I have Vol'jin yay. I really don't think these cards will ever be good, some cards you can tell can be good with more pieces but these? are either too specific (read gimmick) or way too slow (recruiter).
Still, I don't like dusting cards unless it's some spare gold one :\

I think it's best to play just a few games at a time. I try to get a 4-5 win streak and then if I lose two in a row at any point, I take a break and come back later. The worst thing to do is keep playing when you're losing, you will tilt easily (and is why I once went from rank 2 5 stars to rank 8 one season last year.)
The deck is really beatable. Maybe I am facing people who don't know how to play it or they keep getting bad draws against me, but I am doing quite well against it, anecdotally.
As long as you have a removal ready (I've been playing priest so, SW
) and 1 minion on the board to trigger the noble sac the secrets aren't so big a deal. Yeah if you don't have the minion and removal you are probably hosed, but it hasn't been too big an issue. I feel like I more often lose to my own deck having a bad draw, rather than what the enemy deck is doing. That is probably some cognitive dissonance, but it seems to be working for me.GwyndolinCinder

When you make an excellent game winning play, then your opponent pulls out Eadric the Pure from unstable portal

I've been playing it and I think it definitely comes down to bad players.
Playing Redemption turn one and then using your hero power turn two...or playing Redemption turn one, playing a Shielded Minibot turn two and then playing Muster turn three...more than likely the 1/1 will die and get revived...which is a waste of the secret...
Stupid little misplays like that tend to lose the game for many of those Paladins who are netdecking and have little to no idea of real strategy. My games using that deck typically run quite long, because I tend to trade and skip turns and wait for certain cards/my opponent to play certain cards before I just throw something out for the sake of it.
What makes a good Hearthstone player is knowing what and when to play. (And remembering to almost always use your weapon to kill off minions and not to worry about taking face damage...keeping control of the board is more important and some people either forget or don't know that.)
Made a Mage deck and played against a Paladin. He got me down to 5 health and I killed his Tirion giving him an Ashbringer so he can give me the mortal blow himself. I have a few minions on the board but I don't have lethal. Eitherway I attack with them and bring his health a little bit down. It's his turn, he summons a recruit and a Quartermaster. Ready that he'll kill me now I was moving the mouse to the concede button but then he attacked my Azure Drake and ends his turn. Now, I have a Bash which my Spellslinger gave me earlier. I use it on the Quartermaster and clear his board with my other minions and bring his health down to 7. The next turn he ropes and does nothing, I draw my Rag, end my turn and he dies.
Lesson learned: Even if your opponent has lethal, don't concede. You never know what stupid thing they do, even if they have a gold portrait.
And I begin to love Spellslinger. Almost always gives me spell that helps me (most of the time it's Bash).

He probably got DC'ed before giving the finishing his turn and got caught showing off. Which is why I never do anything fancy when I have lethal. Just get it done in the most boring way possible.

So I was looking on eBay for the Hearthstone loot crate stuff and people are actually on ebay selling the Galaxy S6 promo.
Not only is the guy charging $2 for it, people are then giving him their email and blizzard password to do it!
11 have sold so far!

Rogue mech is alright. But if you're looking for the best in terms of winrate, it is mech mage atm.

Actually I did this for my brother and even he was smart enough to change his password to a temp one and then change it back. You can always reset it using your email account, which this guy won't have access to, so I don't think the risk is all that great.
Well he's already halfway there since he'll know your email.
Two-step verification is the best way to secure your account. Also not giving your login details to strangers on the internet is a start as well.

It's not like your email address is supposed to be some super secret thing anyways. You're supposed to give that out so people can contact you. If just giving it out puts you at a significant risk of getting hacked then that's a much bigger problem than losing a Hearthstone account IMO.

Nothing to do guys. I'm stuck between level 14 and 12 (let's say 13, lel) with my ramp.
I don't know, it feels like it's not working as it should.
At least now I got 700 gold and I can unlock BM's first wing.
Do you think it's going to be better?

Probably BGH/Sylvanas/War for 2x Shade as well, not having any 3-drops seems inconsistent even with Asspirant. Then again I only play Druid for dailies class puts me to sleep
Depends what deck you are playing. Secrets Paladin with a good draw can steamroll over lots of decks with ease.

Well, that could be a problem, I don't have Naxxramas. :<

The cool thing about it is that it can get very aggressive draws or very powerful T5+ draws.
I kept MC against a Priest because I didn't think it would put enough pressure early on so it'd be somewhat safe and I had the coin. I drew Shredder, Consecration and Blessing of Kings. First draw Loatheb. I figured I was completely dead. Then when I drew Dr. Boom next, I knew I was dead. Turns out a T3 Shredder, plus T5 Loatheb, T6 MC and T7 Doom is actually pretty strong, even if you play nothing else.
Probably would have been completely dead against any aggro deck though, but that was enough value to get through the dragon taunts and win the game.

Whut? I'm not saying it's a great card, but it's not very comparable to Dread Infernal except on a very basic level.
You don't have to actually spend any mana to use Sea Reaver, only draw it. And the fact that it hurts your minions can actually be a decent boon to a Warrior a chunk of the time, considering the typical make-up of a Warrior deck these days -- Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith, Frothing Berserker, and Grim Patron. It could even be a desperate play, in a situation where you need to Whirlwind your board for lethal, or to set up you even surviving, yet you won't have mana after you draw. This could accomplish that.
Again, I'm not saying it's great, or worth the risk. But I certainly think it has its own merits and, because of the different make-up of the classes, isn't really comparable to the Warlock's Dread Infernal.
Plus, I mean, there are plenty of cases where some classes have better versions of another class's cards. Frostbolt and Quick Shot are flat-out better than Darkbomb. Yet Darkbomb fills a niche that Warlocks needed. Same with Living Roots vs. Holy Smite/Arcane Shot.

mother fucking shredder dropped a 0 attack minion when i needed just 1 more attack to stay in the game
I still dunno if it's right but I keep MC pretty much all the time. Though against a class like Hunter I wouldn't.

So I was playing against this really bad Rogue running Malygos and making all kinds of mistakes against me as Patron. Letting me draw an unessecary amount, being stupid, etc.
I draw Warsong with lethal and then my game just dies. I didn't even knew I drew Warsong because the game froze although I can still talk to my friend on the client and I end up losing.
Thanks Blizzard.

i actually didn't encounter many secret paladins, many druids and tempo mages and hunters, fucking hunters, had to put a belcher because of them. Also reynad's stream is hilarious right now

Wow, just pulled a golden anub'arak just a few weeks after i dusted the plain one I had in order to craft boom. its my first ever golden legendary so I really don't want to dust it... but I've wanted Ragnaros for a long time or even archmage or grom or alex etc etc.
Pretty cool animation though!

Golden legendaries don't come around often and supposedly Anub'arak is at least somewhat okay/decent. Probably better if Blizzard ever gives Rogue the control tools it needs. So yeah, I definitely wouldn't dust it myself.
Only golden legendaries I would disenchant are the worst of the worst. Millhouse, The Beast, Hemet, etc.
