I decided to join the aggro meta and craft Patches. First, I went in to Tavern Brawl and got my...5th Gruul? I swear people have draw tendencies.
Long story short, I gave in to my Johnny tendencies as always and I crafted Mal'Ganis instead of Patches, and now I can play Demonlock like I've wanted to for ages. I went 6-2, so not too bad. Hopefully I can make it to rank 5. What does Demonlock do against Secret Paladin?

My Christmas miracle would be all online companies coming down on the nasty people that get too caught up in these games.
Emoting, roping, slow-rolling. (For example, having lethal but not showing the lethal card until you've done every other action you can that turn. You should show the lethal card first, so your opponent can concede.)
I think the majority of my opponents use bad manners, so I'm not sure how you aren't seeing that.
I don't think we'll ever have a perfect meta, but the current one has strong decks of all three major archetypes.
And then you top deck Gadgetzan and win! Or you Prep/Coin/Concede, lol.

I guess I'm BMing then. I like to emote wows and mistakes.
I tried a 1:1 split with Azure Drake and Teacher but ultimately digging into the deck ended up more important and 1/1s are much too vulnerable against several decks.

As always fight for the board against secret paladin if you can't tempo them out.
Everyone has different opinions on BM, so it is hard to say for sure. Outside of greetings at the start of a match I assume the rest is superfluous.
For example I think it is BM to say "well played" as you are delivering the lethal blow, where some people see this as good sportsmanship. In my opinion it is up to the loser to declare "well played" at the end of a game or not. The opinions on this matter are so spread out I don't even worry about it anymore since you have no idea if the other person has good intentions or not.
At this point I just squelch as soon as possible so I can focus on the game. I can't imagine how many people waste their time emoting at me these days, but it does improve my temperament during these gaming sessions.

The meta isn't terrible. It's just really aggressive. I'm not saying it's all aggro, but the top performing decks really are aggressive.
I think the meta is good, unless you want to play something other than patches or reno - then it's very narrow.

It absolutely can be.

I think a "Well played" isn't BM unless it's mocking a bad play, or doing it over and over again. Otherwise I take them as the emote intends.
There are times my actions could be interpreted as BM but it's not my intent. Like, I drop a "Well played" before I Reno against a face deck.
And of course emotes can be BM; that's why they had to remove "Sorry" from the game. I miss that one when I forget to end my turn, or am away from the game longer than I intended.

Reno Mage uses Brann + Manic Soulcaster on the Brann. About 4 or 5 turns later he drops his Reno and it fizzles.
Certainly not that person's finest moment.

I do tend to yolo move in early myself.
Is this the more Midrange variant with Void Terrors? You leverage your sticky minions and Void Callers to win the early game before Mysterious Challenger comes down. You go wide on the board as Secret Paladin at the most carries a Consecrate and if you are winning on board then you are winning in general.
If you are Renolock/Handlock just with more Demons then you need to bait the Secret Paladin into board clears/Doomsayer and save hard removal for MC. Then close out the game with the big stuff. Also need to play around Divine Favor as much as possible.

Meant to reply to this earlier but, yeah, the whole situation with Rogue both pre and post expansion is pretty damn amusing to me.
I'm sure Paladin wishes it could be as "bad" as Rogue.

I thought Malygos Rogue was already underrated pre MSG, that was never a tier 3 deck.
which aggro shaman, current? Current of course since it's much more resilient while being only slightly less forgiving.

I never thought rogue would be in bad shape after MSOG, but ever since blade flurry was nerfed their options are incredibly narrow and MSOG did little to support decks other than miracle rogue in terms of competitive tier cards. Jade rogue had a small chance simply because it's resilient to decks with heavy removal, a category of decks that has been seen less and less since OG anyway.

and also really dumb.
All i know is that if I don't squelch at the start of the game there is a constant stream of emotes from most players these days. As I mentioned I don't know what the intent is, but it is more consistent than it has ever been before.
On par with making Dr Balanced a 6/7.
I squelch every match because I hate when people emote. Pisses me off.
But every emote is not bm. Most emotes aren't bm.
that why I said its hilarious, won't change much and only lead to early concede and misplay meme
kinda want to see it
I think I'm ready to call it: Finja is my favorite card of the set.
I like White Eyes, Aya, and REALLY like Raza--but I just can't bring myself to play Dragon Priest, or Reno Dragon Priest. I like stealing stuff as much as the next guy, but Operative is a stupid card and non-dragon Reno just isn't there yet.
Finja is fun-as-hell and he can flip the board like a mutha-shucker.
Not saying he's tier one or anything, but I've been trying him out in a bunch of decks and when he pulls a Bluegill + Warleader it's just....fintastic.
Druid Zoo deck!

Yeah Finja is easily the sleeper hit. Not a popular card by any means, but truly powerful and a great addition to the murloc paladin and even the Murloc Druid has found a use for him.

I emote a ton, and its usually not to be toxic, I just think its funny.
For example, at the start of the match I spam greetings until they also greet. Once they do I say thank you and stop.
Also, I hit wow after almost every non typical move.
Some people obviously take it poorly because if I end up losing they will start spamming emotes, which I also think is funny.

A little early, but here are my stats for the month:
These are games played across 3 servers US, Asia and Europe. I play alot on my tablet, but having track-o-bot installed since it has windows 10 is a huge boon.
A few thoughts:
I could probably hit Legend if I stuck to one server.
Druid is my worst match-up, but even that isn't so bad.
I did very poorly with Rogue because I was experimenting with crazy stuff.
I think it is evident, that outside of Hunter and Paladin, there is a good distribution of classes.
No idea why Hunter did so well for me, but I will experiment with my deck some more next month.
Hunter and Paladin Suck.

I love the emotes. Most of them are hilarious.
My favorite has to be "wow..."
Just so monotone about it.

"by the HOLY LIGHT!" is my favorite. So over delivered.

My run with uber mindless Pirate Warrior in Wild has stalled once again... cannot get past Rank 7. This is coming from someone who usually cannot break Rank 12 playing control decks in Standard, but I should not complain.
One weird thing I have noticed is I am getting matched against a huge range of Ranks right now. Playing people from Rank 10 to Rank 5 when I am sat mid Rank 7. I guess not a large range of people are playing late Christmas night in EU.
I think I should hit Rank 5 before reset through sheer attrition of playing this horrible deck - then I can go back to Rank 12 Standard and have fun losing!

Basically anything with taunts. Worse if it is early taunts (Dragon Priest), I dont think it is a huge issue though as I am winning enough to stay mid Rank 7 and not falling. Just got to stay with it, and probbaly pay more attention - this deck basically encourages me to multitask. I am replying to you as I am playing
edit - I won that one!
I recommend both. I love the trackobot reports a lot and i can use it on my tablet

So in what fucking world is the whole Aviana + Kun thing deemed okay?
It's 100% the exact thing Blizzard said they don't want in the game, yet here we are.

See, I might agree with that if we weren't to the point where Druid can draw their entire deck within 10 turns.
It might as well be pre-Standard Anyfin on steroids.

Oh my god I think I played against a shammy bot.
I have Curse of Rafam in my deck, and I used it first turn. And he never discared him. 10 turns later, he's sub 10 health, still has it in his hand.
Man, that's sad.
