Pick Warlock.
Grab all of the 1-drops in descending order of quality until deck is complete.
You could probably grab all of the 1-drop pirates including bloodsail corsair for extra luls.
Eh I want to actually be able to win. Maybe Renounce Darkness warlock would be fun.

Hmm ok. Maybe the board wasn't all Murlocs. I swore it was though.
I need to start doing some of those replay things everyone else does.....might be hard though since I rarely ever play Hearthstone on my PC.

Sure, I'll play some Reno Mage.
Oh my first game is against a Reno N'Zoth Jade Shaman that counters my deck 18 different ways? Sure, okay.

I dont have much of an opinion of Patches in Standard, but in Wild he is nuts
I am currently binging Mr Robot, and paying more to it than the game, and still quickly ranking up. I might have lost three games going from 17 to 11
I know people always joke Aggro decks are mindless, but this mindless to the extreme
I feel like I could reach Legend by attrition of using this deck (and this is coming from someone who has never broke Rank 12 in either ruleset).

Yeah I finally lost my first Wild game with Pirate Warrior, and it was only because they had a turn five coin Reno, I had lethal the next turn. It's insane. And if they can't deal with Ship's Cannon immediately, hoo boy.
e: oooh got my second lost, but only because a Shaman pulled a Mistress of Mixtures from Malestrom Portal. So far opponents have needed to get really lucky to stand a chance.

My mindless motoring though Wild with Pirate Warrior has stalled at Rank 10 - one star off Rank 9. The last 5 decks I've ran into are all high on Taunts. I am still winning enough to stay at Rank 10 though
I guess I will have to start paying attention again... :/

Miracle rogue with violet teacher seems to be the way to go

What match ups do you think violet teacher improves?
Druid still has a place in the competitive meta even though it is lower tier than expected.

Not sure but I like having something to play on 4 I'd I don't have peddler.
Also allows you to extend the board.
Maybe the pirate package is better

Just got my first hero up to 100 wins. Thanks, Aggro Shaman!
I've been oddly content since I hit the rank I wanted in Standard so went to Wild for some fun time and relaxation
Seeing a lot of budget pirate warriors lol:

Seems a bit harder right now to get quests done. Everything is aggro or bust. Just trying to play some cards, man.
Pretty much.

I auto completed the brawl deck for a quest and it turns out I have a classic deathwing.
Edit: Nevermind Malchezar put it in there and I was so absent minded I didn't notice the animation. All is well with my memory.

Just found out that I'm gonna lose a lot of my dragons when TGT and BRM is out next year.
Trying reno priest, but somehow I couldn't play it right. Gonna miss my dragons a lot.
I got a friend while doing quest.
Didn't attack him at all, only did it when I need space for minion.
He keeps attacking me, but then he realized I only did quest. And apparently so did he. So he stop attacking me and just playing cards. Later he added me, and now every time I need to do silly quest like playing murlocs just need to ask him.

The meta is never 100% aggro. It just feels like it sometimes.
If everything is aggro, why are so many people complaining about Leeroy / PO / Faceless? ��
New "Do you wanna take this inside?" commercial, it's a christmas miracle.

oh man, I dunno what just happened, I was playing my nzoth jade shaman against a renolock and we drag it out until he's out of cards
I've had 2x mistress of mixtures die on my side, 2x white eyes die
I have aya and a 5/5 golem on board
I'm at 12 hp, he's got alex and a flame imp.
He's got 6 cards in hand and had drawn through his deck leeroy po, faceless 100% guaranteed. I've seen twisting, i've seen hellfire, i've seen everything but shadowflame
N'zoth in hand I trade aya and the golem without thinking and just slam it. that's 5 slots for res, right? I should be fine right?
Well something I had forgotten about was earlier in the game I had pulled a weasel off maelstrom portal. Instead of 2 mistresses, 2 white eyes and an aya I get 2 mistresses, an aya, a white eyes and a weasel.
i have 12 hp, he has 3 damage on board and I only have 1 5/5 taunt. I realize my mistake, if I hadn't traded the aya before playing n'zoth I would have guaranteed the 2nd white eyes and survival for the turn. Instead I'm going to die, or so I think.
He siphon souls my white eyes, swings in with the imp and shadowflames it. I topdeck one of my 3 storm guardians in the last 6 cards of my deck. I was at 17 hp but I also use a jinyu to go up to 23. he's done.

Why.
Yes, I know what Aggro is.
He was complaining that the only decks on ladder are all-in aggro decks. But we just had a couple pages of people complaining about Renolock.
So obviously there are at least some slow decks on ladder.
Heck, someone just told a story about a N'zoth deck they were playing.
Am I supposed to think this guy was talking about his Aggro deck? That runs a 10-mana card? LOL..
If you ever think the ladder is 100% any archetype, just take a peak at data reaper live. Even in the tryhard ranks it's not 100% aggro.

RIP hunter and paladin
I believe someone could make a good paladin deck with the cards available.
I'm not so convinced about hunter.
Yeah it all sort of depends on how these "aggro", "midrange", and "control" decks are setup. This is an okay rule-of-thumb but there are deeper factors at play here. For example, Midrange Shaman used to beat aggro before the PPP became a thing.
Aggro loses to some combination of board clears, healing, or efficient taunts. When a deck is faster than you, you have to win the card advantage game very aggressively in order to deplete the aggro deck's fuel source. Certain midrange decks like Midrange Hunter do not incorporate those tools and so they lose very consistently to aggro because they get out-raced and can't make up the difference in card advantage. But if your midrange deck includes enough of these tools, then you can beat aggro.
Control decks lose to not being able to handle all of the threats you put out. They try to win the card advantage game and burn you out over time or close out with an explosive finisher in the mid-late game, so if they can't get huge gains through massive clears early enough and you put them on a short enough clock, they lose. Big and/or sticky threats resist card advantage-based board clears and so the midrange deck piles on the threats and damage and the control deck spends too much time on the backfoot not gaining an advantage. But that explosive finisher is key. If a control deck can last just long enough that it can put out huge burst damage, then the midrange deck can lose if it wasn't fast enough.
Massan and IIRC P4wnyhof have Finja Paladin deck that actually working well.
2 bluegill, 2 warleader, 1 finja and 2 anyfin.

Not as long as midrange shaman, dragon priest and renolock destroy the midrange build and aggro shaman, rogue, warrior and renolock destroy the greedy NZoth build and anyfin.
Maybe someone will come up with a midrange anyfin combo that could carve out a niche for itself. I've seen trump try a Don Hancho, Leroy, Blessed Champion cheese.
I don't think the issues with Hunter are really all that bad.
Turns out the Grimy Goons Hunter cards weren't good enough in this meta to justify some novel kind of Hunter deck. And the Scavenging Hyena and Cult Master lists are gimmicky too. So basically we just go back to Midrange or Secret Hunter and toss in some Alley Cats or maybe some Rat Packs.
Now PPP is all over the ladder and Hunter probably loses to that opening most of the time. Every hunter archetype loses to any deck that is faster than it, and PPP is faster than both Secret and Midrange Hunter. So, Hunter just needs a Patches nerf or a new 2-mana weapon and suddenly Hunter comes roaring back.

Patches Pirate Package. It's made up of Patches, Small-Time Buccaneer, a couple more early pirates, and a couple early weapons. Just lingo we use in this thread as far as I'm aware.
Mal'Ganis wasn't in the guy's deck like Kripp tried to imply. He got it off the Kabal Trafficker. Dr. Boom and N'Zoth is a pretty good draft, though.

Played against what I assume was a Malygos Shaman.
Dirty Rat'd his Thaurissan and took it with Mind Control Tech and he conceded. Pretty damn disgusting.
