In true Control Warrior fashion, you play it on turn 40 when there's nothing left to hit it.
This is the best advice I've seen for Priests:

the cheapest viable deck is hunter
if you like priest, there are 2, maybe 3 viable priest decks floating around - including, and i'm not kidding, silence/purify priest
Priest has gotten a lot of good cards since One Knight in Karazhan

It's even stronger than patches. You actually have to pay mana to get patches on the board. You have to pay a card. Even though it's half a card technically and like 1 mana off the cost of the minion you play to summon it.
Imagine going up against hunter. They play alley cat. Your turn it dies despite you paying no resources. You've basically already won the game without spending anything.

I like it being a understated minion with a neutral ability, so you get into situations where you have to decide to give up tempo and flexibility or take the hit of your ability working against you.
Unfortunately, there's probably not many truly neutral effects when aggro and control both want very different things, which makes it a very difficult thing to balance.
surely you jest Priest are so awful to play against.
Got bored, made a card, OP enough?
lol everyone would have to pack dirty rats to fight that card

I only like that card because it would fuck over quest rogue.

Would it? I think Quest Rogue would still beat that card, lol.
I didn't think of Patches. Interesting concept wasted on 100% RNG aggro bullshit. Either you don't draw him and he's literally free face damage on the board or you draw him and it sucks.
how so? quest rogue tries to keep their valuable assets that they're trying to use for quest in hand usually.
Pirate warrior.
Ironically I found that I lost very few times against quest warriors. With so many taunts anyone would assume they could block a PW extremely easily, but I just finished them before turn 7.
I also tried token druid and it was really good, but I need to get better at managing that deck
This is still mind-blowing to me. I had almost the "standard" pirate warrior deck and dealt lethal before turn 7 quite rarely when I was keeping statistics, but I guess Leeroy would make a significant difference. There was simply so much healing/taunt/removal around rank 10 it was difficult.
I did finally earn enough dust to craft a bittertide hydra, so I want to try a variant of your deck.
I don't have leeroy either, and the reason I didn't want him there was exactly because of those taunts, I would often use my own reckless rocketeer to clear some taunt and then hit more face. Leeroy would leave 2 more bodies to clear my own other pirates.
also, on those matches I found the early game fundamental, but southsea captain just superb.
EDIT: bittertide hydra just destroys them unless they have an execute, and funny enough they use them on the captain a lot. for some reason, the ones I played didn't run sleep with the fishes, or at least didn't draw one.

If you got to rank 1, you can hit legend.

Wow Control Paladin is annoying. Spikeridged, Equality, Aldor+Kodo, taunts, Tarim, etc.
but... they don't have any finisher, often times you just continue playing things and they just randomly die of starvation
That's the hope. Also, I have a pretty good win rate against PW so I don't mind seeing them. But I see far more quest rogues than PW"s and I have about a 0% win rate against them. I took one to fatigues one time and won which was amazing but other than that it's an instant loss

No client patch today? Guess it's pushed to Wednesday because of the holiday?
Doesn't make it any less annoying.
that deck is extremely annoying.
I don't think we had any date for the patch, they just mentioned "in the following weeks"
It's not an easy matchup but if you are playing against Quest Rogue you need to play fast...not slow. Maybe even throw the quest out of your opening hand because it is not really going to help anyways. Look for Dirty Rat/Bloodhoof/Direhorn and do what you can with them.
That's normally what I do, but I've actually started keeping it as the only time I seem to win is when I push enough damage with minions and rag hits to win. I don't run dirty rat but i definitely enjoy pulling Medivh out of a mages hand so I've considered putting it back in.
I did it
I did it again!
I've almost got every major Epics and Legendaries in every expansion without spending money and without dusting any cards I have. Ungoro was no different for me, even though it has way more major Epics and Legendaries among other HS expansions.
( I dont have warrior quest because I found it boring so I crafted mage quest instead

Took one to fatigue and lost because he kept stealing my burn cards.
I just didn't have any motivation to try to get to legend, since it's going to set me down to rank 16 when the season turns over anyway
what's the point? I'll just start at 17 or whatever, and play whatever deck I feel like playing in the meantime
Got bored, made a card, OP enough?
Too OP in Warrior.
Execute, Sleep With the Fishes, Acolyte, Armorsmith, even King Mosh. Synergies are too strong.
Yeah... I made the card kinda just wishing Blizzard would print more impactful/interesting "while this is in your hand" cards. The only shitty Paladin Legendary is not one of them and I figured Control Warrior could also use some help.
Just think about all the things you can't counterplay already. Adding any more "while this is in your hand" would be even worse -- free value from hand, literally impossible to counterplay besides Dirty Rat.
True, I think we need more of both.

Priest is in a good place right now. Warlock is the dead class right now which is something no one would of said for like the last 3 expansions. I decided to try something new this month and that was Jade Druid (never played it when it was actually popular). It's actually pretty fun. I still don't know wtf I'm doing but I got to 5.
How would more non-counterplay cards improve the game? Wouldn't that emphasize the RNG further by making your initial draws even more important?
It seem that the community is dead silent right now, will probably continue until the next expansion.
A lot of classes are viable right now and my only two issues with the game right now are:
1-RNG in mage decks.
2-Taunt warrior RNG hero power that decides games with a push of a button.

I personally had no motivation anymore, just doing daily quest,

I loathe aggro druid. There's a couple too many unbeatable draws with that deck and living mana and bittertide hydra gives them too good a way to recover if you manage to deal with their first wave of aggression.
I mean more counterplay cards so that they can open up design space for cards like the one I posted (albeit more tuned).
Oh, fair enough. I was thinking they could introduce more counterplay cards in a new set, though that has the side effect of making people buy the new cards to stay competitive against the new cards. I imagine Blizzard wouldn't mind that.
So I've just popped into Arena for the first time in probably 12 months this morning and Vicious Fledgling has single handedly won me 2-3 games now. It's obviously a really good card in constructed as well but add in the lack of removal in Arena and it can be an absolute monster.
Deck (below) is quite slow and indeed my only loss so far was to a Mage deck that had me at 15hp in the first 5-6 turns as I couldn't get on the board. If I get to mid-game in a decent spot though it seems to just crush.

The Lyra stuff really makes that deck roll sometimes. It is really good sometimes and more often than not it's really strong. Even when its bad, you still get something that is generally usable. The value from that card is pretty insane.
i havent even bothered to logon to do my dailies or the last Tavern Brawl ;(
I fear my career has hit a major roadblock.
hope next expac gives lots of free packs for returning players
Sometimes you can probably eek out a win even against a class you do poorly against with a high roll.
I do have enough dust to craft a legendary now, might just ride it out until the end of the expansion to see what ends up dropping for me.

I wonder about next expansion. I'm completely dry of dust and haven't started saving up yet. W/o hall of fame there's no way I'm getting any amount of dust ready f2p.I'm still looking to craft Elize and possibly pyros from ungoro and am lacking Antonidas still.

Opponent played Reno in the brawl, and it worked.
The thing you did wrong here was not conceding on turn 2. Seriously. This brawl is easy to farm wins with because you just concede early until you get an insane start and then your opponent concedes early. 5 min games should be the norm.
