Which I expect will change once Healbot rotates out.

I've seen jouster in some top decks in the past, and in major tournament play. It might see zero play now, but that's a meta thing more than viability.

Lost again because i couldn't heal myself with lay on hands, fuck you too, Blizzard.
Nail on the head.
Since it is not a keyword on the cards I'd much rather see them revisit it properly once TGT rotates out and focus on supporting Inspire if anything or just give us new, well designed, keywords and support them well the coming two years.
Joust always felt more like a flavour thing than a legitimate, well designed, mechanic.
PGL stream is getting weird
Already seen him tested in some "standard" Anyfin decks (with very little success).

End of season all the good players are in legend and those left play fast decks like zoo or secret paly and similar, no druids or control warrior around. If you can target them it's easy legend. I got legend end of season last month, playing oil rogue, I almost exclusively played against zoo and secret paly, it was pretty good for me, I had stupid win rate in almost 80 percent from rank 3. Then start of next season with the same deck I was getting poor results.
Something like freeze mage is really good right now too.

OK, but is there one of these decks that doesn't require legendaries I don't have? I've only got the adventure legendaries plus Captain Greenskin, Cairne Bloodhoof and Dr. Boom.
You can't dust adventure cards can you?
I tried this freeze mage deck but it doesn't seem to be much more effective than the Hunter deck I was using, it's still two steps forward, one step back, and I'm back down to rank 15 again.
That's because that deck is bad and isn't even a Freeze Mage deck.
This has been happening to a lot of people since yesterday. It probably has something to do with that bug where people "lost" their Adventure cards for a while.
Well okay, how do I find a deck that a) isn't bad and b) is freeze mage? I mean if searching for "freeze mage" doesn't even work...?
EDIT: these are the search parameters I used:
https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/freeze-mage-meta-snapshot-48
This is a pretty standard list. Some of the normal substitutions are Bloodmage Thalnos > second Loot Hoarder or Pyroblast > second Flamestrike.
Uhhhh you can't play Freeze Mage without Alexstraza and Antonidas, at least not conventional Freeze Mage. It's like saying you want to play Secret Paladin without Mysterious Challenger. Sure you can just make a deck with everything else but it's obviously not going to be good.
Also instead of Heartpwn try using HearthstoneTopDecks because at least it filters out decks to Pro Players only

edit: And in any case, Freeze Mage is a bad deck to ladder with if you don't know how to play it.
*throws hands up in frustration*
Okay, so is there a deck that I can play that I have cards for that targets the decks that are currently in use on the ladder as mentioned previously:

Zoo doesn't require any legendary minions at all. Just throw the best value bullshit you've got together with some buff cards and call it zoo. There's a reason why it's so popular.

I'm at rank 10, and every Zoolock deck I find is thoroughly optimized. My deck is a bit ghetto, with only Loatheb as a legendary, and it is making the journey a struggle.

I got a $10 amazon gift card, thinking of buying a set of booster packs in hearthstone, note that im a super duper casual. within a whole month i might play 10 games give or take (although lately i've been playing more often since i installed it on my phone). I normally lose most games, I've gotten about 7 or 8 of the normal booster packs from the quests, I was wondering if I should buy the normal booster packs or one of the other 2 (the mechanical one or the other which i forget whats it called)?
also whats up with those $25 adventure things, is that single player content, also is it worth buying that?

I'm guessing that some people think that by the end of the month all the better players have climbed up to the top ranks, leaving the lower ranks "easier".

Usually the first few days to a week of a season are the 'hardest,' since all Legend players fall back into ranks 25-1. So there's some truth to that. However, some also believe that the last week to days of a season are also rather difficult considering people who grind in the last moments will also play the best decks to rise faster too. I don't know the validity of these but I would say they make sense.
I would argue that the time of day makes a bigger difference than what week of the month it is, but I don't pay that close of attention.
If you do all your daily quests and buy packs with the gold you should be averaging a legendary per month. And you should have aquired enough dust to craft most things you would want by now.
RNG giveth and taketh. Control priest vs control priest, they Thoughtsteal my Elise and play it. We fight over board control for the rest of the game, including me Entombing their Deathwing and later on playing it to an instant Death, around five turns of heal + pass on both sides (the apparently classic priest play), then both of us getting the monkey at the bottom of our decks. I lost, but laughed my ass off all the way and I hope my opponent did too.
That's rubbish, you can only get a pack a day (or two packs if you get lucky and get a 100 gold quest). It's 40 packs between legendaries, not 20, so it's definitely more than a month. And nearly all the packs I get nowadays are duplicates, but with really low value cards that don't give much dust.
Rate of Legendary per pack is 1 out of 20. Your are guaranteed a Legendary if you somehow got really unlucky and went 40 packs without one.
Also to get a Legendary per month you kinda have to get rank 5 every month for the 400+ dust. That plus dusting a bit over 20 packs per month can net you 2 Legendaries per month. That's the rate I have been going at. Last month I got a Van Cleef and crafted a Black Knight.
Ah well there's where your calculations are going wrong. I've never gotten above rank 12. So that's why I don't get a legendary a month (hell I barely get one every 2 months).

I want that rank 5 so bad. Matches have been +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 -1. -_-
Also, I beat another Face Shaman. This time Voidwalker into Abusive Sergeant, followed by an Egg into another Abusive Sergeant, pretty much took control of the board for the rest of the game.
Also killed a Druid on turn 6 after coin double Flame Imp. I love that card when I get it at the start.

So the FAQ got updated.

I was almost going to craft a second warleader and a first coldseer to get old murkeye and got anyfin because it seemed like the thing to do for standard, but i'm glad i held off. New expansion might have another charge murloc though?

Why is Shadowform bad?

Pretty sure that was already known, but good thing Anyfin is a dead card in Standard.
Its not. There is a deck that if it works, you completely lock down the board because dealing with 3 dmg anywhere for 2 mana each turn is hard. But Priest just isn't there yet for it to truly work, especially when you can get heal for 4 with Justicar

Huge news. That severely nerfs Anyfin Paladin.
3 mana to do absolutely nothing that turn if played on turn 3. It's a long term investment and you can get bodied before the card pays back itself. Plus a lot of cards in Priest synergize with their base hero power so once they get Shadowform they have a difficult time using stuff Cleric.
I have run across Shadowform Priest decks and they play it with Inspire based minions like Tournament Medic and Kodorider. . Also run additional heals like Holy Fire. The deck isn't that good but it has taken me by surprise a couple of times.
Just because Murk Eye isn't available doesnt mean anyfin is a dead card, it is literally the exact same thing that happened to the formerly fun and interactive grim patron warrior OTK's. Now you will summon a shit ton of murlocs some of which can hit you, some of which that can't. With a slower meta and a much smaller card pool (with no dr 6) anyfin will still be viable.

Does Justicar buff Shadowform?
Does it? It kinda sounds like they have to craft Murk-Eye now, but once they do they're good to go.
