This week I'll succumb to the meme; this brawl sucks. Too much bad rng. Got my packs and I'm done.
It did make me wish for artifact/enchantment cards, though.
Unrelated, but another thing that could spice up the game would be to have weekly featured cards. They would be unlocked if you didn't have them and you'd get bonus gold for playing games with then in your decks. Sort of like F2P rosters in mobas.

Yeah I test my decks in Wild. I think many of my opponents are doing the same. I climbed the ladder pretty good in Wild with pure experimental stuff. Just 1 rank lower than my Standard climb this month
Wonder if that Taunt will become a Priest card.
"No minions can attack this turn" deathrattle.
Anyone considering the Wild Ladder should know this:
Do not play Wild unless you have the cards.
This means you either need to have been playing since release (Naxx and GvG are very heavily represented), or are willing to invest A LOT of dust into crafting cards for it. Several thousand dust at least to get the competitve GvG and Naxx cards.
Even at low ranks you will eventually run into someone with Dr. Boom/Sludge Belcher/Creeper/Shredder/etc. If you have these cards then it is a fair fight, if not... you will probably not have a good time. There are lots of weird decks even at the low ranks. You'll face combo decks that make no sense, and other weird stuff, but sometimes it will be Secret Paladin or Control Priest with Lightbomb and N'Zoth, or other really crazy stuff (Deathrattle Hunters).
Wild is really cool, the games go to turn 10 more often than not and the meta is different from Standard in a big way. It's really fun, IMO. But yeah...if you don't have the cards, you won't be able to be competitive at all.

They turned several brawls into straight up Karazhan bosses. Seems the developers love to experiment with new concepts in the brawls.
at least you didn't pull 3 repeated legendaries in a row when you only had 5 classic ones... that happened to me on saturday and the sad thing is that they were the only legendaries I unpacked.
oh and the same day pulled Nat, The Darkfisher..
yup 1600 dust right there...
Halfway to crafting a golden Medivh tomorrow.
Works great in Mill Rogue and Purify Priest.

The amount of times I've gotten Millhouse blows my fucking mind and makes me very suspicious of the RNG in this game.
Well, EVERYTHING makes me suspicious of the RNG. Sometimes shit just makes no goddamn sense. But I've learned my lesson and every time I think "Hmmm what are the chances of this happening?" I say "IT'S 100 FUCKING PERCENT!"
Oh man, that sucks. Nothing worse than getting all excited seeing that orange glow and then having your hopes dashed when you see it's a card you already own.

Yep, called the brawl pretty close.

That happened to me with Acidmaw...twice. TGT packs were not kind to me.
The problem might be that you remember bad RNG results more than good RNG results. If you start writing stuff down or keeping track you might learn something.
People talk about Amaz getting good RNG and Reynad getting bad RNG. The only difference is the way these two players react to their RNG. Reynad even gets mad when he gets good RNG.

I enjoyed the brawl, it's better than the past few.
I got a theory... I got usually the cards I most looked in the collection, I looked a lot to Ragnaros the Lightlord in the crafting part because I thought it was an incredible card (art and concept wise) and the only worth Legendary I got was that one and Xaril
I don't even think they work well.. I completely trashed about 3 rogues that tried to pull me one of those...
on priest there are just many more better options to purify
It was devastating... at least I got a bright side and now have enough dust to craft 2 legendaries and maaaay be the 2 call of the wilds I'm planning to craft.
The sad part is that since I'm not putting money into packs, I usually last about a month before doing an opening (I wait until I have 20 packs in gold)
the first legendary I got was Gruul, but the second one was bloodmage thalnos... the third one ragnaros the firelord..
I don't bitch much about the results, yeah they are infuriating, but I can't complain when I already got some awesome ones to work on many decks

Wow I picked the perfect day to play like an idiot. Missed lethal twice today already. Miscounted mana before making a play that required me to have that mana.
2 games in a row literally 1 health off of lethal the turn I go from 20 to zero...

Oh ya I got a dupe of that awful WoTG priest legendary. The one that makes a 1/1 copy
If only Priest had some card to Silence those 1/1 minions...it would still be bad.

Oh you're absolutely right. I know I've had fantastic luck with Unstable Portal and my Flamewaker is pretty much on point all the time, but yeah it's those bad beats I always remember, and that goes for pretty much everything.
I never remember the stupid plays in poker that worked out for me, I always remember having pocket aces and having 3 of a kind on a rainbow flop and some asshole decides to ride it out on his nothing hand and ends up hitting a full house on the river.
In fantasy football I'll easily forget when goofy ass Eli Manning gets me 50+ points, but I sure as hell remember when Trent Richardson will have some fluke ass game only 1 week in the entire fucking year and I lose by 1 point.
The only time I can really take my losses well is in fighting games, because it's 100% my fault I lost.
Hmm....I had been hovering over Ysera quite a bit before I got her in my brawl pack a few weeks back.....
But if this was the case, I would've been had Malkorok

Ok I give up. I don't deserve to hit rank 5 with the amount of misplays I make, can't even blame RNG

I have like 20 on Mage and zero on everyone else.
I have over 300 on Hunter.
I'm not a bad person.
At rank 5 you get a golden Epic in your end-of-season rewards.

Rank 5 = golden epic at the end of the month.

Golden epic. Trash it and get 400 dust.
Edit: Beaten like I just went against a Secret Paladin.
You get a Golden Epic instead of a Golden Rare. That's a 300 dust difference right there between rank 6 and 5 (well a bit less, you get some additional dust for rank 6 as well but it's not even close to 300 dust difference).
check out the rewards list.. they get upgraded every 5 ranks until legend..
I would love to get to legend someday but this past 2 days have completely crushed me

Priest easily. 3 wins.
The difference between rank 5 and Legend is very small... like a small amount of dust. No where near the difference between rank 6 and 5.check out the rewards list.. they get upgraded every 5 ranks until legend..

That's why a lot of people stop at rank 5.
I had to look it up and it's Shaman for me. It's like level 51 where as all my other classes are level 60. Rogue is next.

Like seriously Hunter has 2 secrets out and I play 2 minions and then attack. Like come on brain what do I have you for you moron.
The game before I kill this mage's apprentice when he has no cards in hand 10 mana already and I had the taunt totem out. Couple turns later 1 short of lethal... I'm sure that 11 mana spell would have killed me.
Earlier today shortly after waking up to be fair I played Lightlord dead on board and then attack a 1/3 with my aldor peacekeeper...
I notice the misplays immediately after doing them too.
As annoying as that would fucking be I'd be interested to see that and see what good players could really do with it.
I think I am breaking 100 wins with Rogue. Most classes I am around 200-300 wins. Only class that I am breaking 500 right now is Paladin.
I am level 60 with all classes except Shaman, which is level 59, so I'll be hitting that milestone soon.

Finally made rank 5, thats the scariest ive ever seen ladder.
I just pulled a pretty awesome play from the brawl.
I get a Leroy Jenking from turn 1 Unstable portal.. I save it for later.
on turn 3 the opponent plays a portal and gets Wicked Witchdoctor and continues playing the portals until they realize the doctor is just adding more useless totems..
I play leroy jenkings to kill the doctor until it has 4 other totems and then he realizes he can play and concedes..
