This nerf will help midrange pally a lot so I don't like them propelling the face druid so much. Any fel reaver deck basically autoloses to peacekeeper, that's why I liked to see the one week they shot the reaver mech mage deck up there since everyone just jumped right to it. Farming wins.

They stated in the explanation that they expect Midrange Paladin to rise a lot after the nerf. They also expect Mage to rise a lot because Paladin will rise and they expect Mage will be strong as the counter to the class.
Also this snapshot is what it looks like right now not what it will look after the Patron nerf... otherwise Patron wouldn't occupy the best deck slot.

Druid can just silence the reaver, go back to an 8/8 with no downside

cenarius isnt very good, huh guys.
i was thinking, maybe it would be neat if blizzard made him unique in giving him a 3rd choice for his 'choose one'

hes pretty good, just fell out because of patron
It does, but specifially under the aggro druid it says
"When the Warsong Commander patch goes live expect to see a rise in Secret Paladin, a favorable match-up for Aggro Druid, which will make this deck even more powerful."
But nothing about midrange, and it has the matchup at 50/50. Under midrange it says
"As Patron sees its last week on the ladder, we expect to see a fair bit of it, but aside from the Patron match-up we see Mid-Range Paladin being a very strong deck. It beats Aggro Druid with ease; you can keep up with its early game, deal with Fel Reavers without an issue, and heal when needed."
...yet also has it as a 50/50 when it isn't. It's like it says that but wasn't really considered in the rank.
There's certainly going to be a lot happening with stuff like mage rising like you said, but this specific thing seems weirdly done.
It's true that they have double keeper for this, but from my experience the deck doesn't tend to have many cards in hand and that isn't a card they would keep in the mulligan phase. Though even in those instances, pally also runs BGH and equality which handle it. From what I've seen the match isn't even close since pally also can have super aggressive starts.

Legend with tempo mage... feels good man.
My first final boss getting into legend was thegwalls playing a revenge patron warrior deck. What a cockblocker.
Then tonight I went on a four win streak and my final boss was a feign death hunter... lol.
I probably would have hit legend 3 days ago if I just stuck with it. I just got annoyed after losing to gwalls and then bounced between 2 wins away and 4 wins away for like 2 hours and then decided to take a break for a day or two. That worked out.

Its like 90-95% chance to get at least 1 legend out of 20 packs.
It's 50%, you either get a legendary or you don't.

Better to play the tavern brawl. If you don't get something broken on the first two turns, concede.
You'll get the wins pretty quickly.

turn 1 emperor, concede
turn 5 1 mana holy nova, concede
turn 3 1 mana paletress getting me a 7/7 with board control already, concede
3 of the fastest games I ever had today. Just mulligan for 4-5 mana cards and hope they are cheap.

Fuck me, I finally open a pack with a Legendary and it's Bloodmage Thalnos again.
I just checked, I've only ever drawn 7 Legendary cards on Classic packs: 3 of them were Bloodmage Thalnos and 2 were Tirion Fordring. I could use some variety here, rather than having to craft shit.

What a disgusting draft
Hold onto your butts, boys. Never got this far without a loss before.
Flamestrike and Kraken are cut off, too.

All ropers are scum except the ones who rope right before inevitable death. Those tears are super satisfying to me.

This person playing Forsen right now is a giant piece of shit. Constant emotes and roping on every turn.

Reynad has completely tilted he is so far behind even Firebat is almost at rank 1.
Reynad was so BibleThump.

Dont. Chillmaw is a good card that will only get better.
I think Reynad is losing his mind at this point. Sucks being that tired and having to deal with Hearthstone RNG bullshit.

I've won several games by just letting the game sit and hovering over a couple things during my last turn with no way to kill the opponent.
The trick is to keep some cards and mana so they think you have lethal and just want to bm.

If you like Mage, you could always go for Rhonin, great synergy with Antonidas.
Personally, I'd definitely go for a strong neutral. Justicar is the one I had the most fun with recently, but I'd say pound for pound, Ysera is the strongest legendary in the game if you like playing control.
Wasn't it earlier in the season last time? Always harder to climb early.
Yeah last time it was on the 1st day of the month, which obviously means they would be hitting really tough opponents as soon as they broke rank 15 or so.
There's actually not much difference in difficulty over time at ranks 5 to Legend because at that ranks everyone is just playing try-hard decks. I guess it was much faster at the 25 - 10 ranks and that was the key difference.

Firebat got 6 dreams in a row from Ysera, wow.
