It's just a shitty variation of Reynad's Avenge deck he put together when the wings were unlocked...

He even agrees it's garbage. It has so many counter's its crazy, and if you knew anything about laddering you want decks with the lowest amount of counters as the meta shifts every 3 hours.

8-0 means absolutely nothing, It's not arena. You should be looking at your stats over time on decks ranking up to legend ,and at what time they are countering the meta.
Making Legend is less about skill, and more about preparation.

From the few decks I saw in my like 5 games today at Rank 4 agro probably does really well on ladder atm. A good face hunter probably does wonders. I like the agro mage too, but it can fall to bad draws.

Except it shifts every 3-5 hours.... Although within those shifts they stay consistent for some reason. I.E at 3-6 ( that same meta is played for 5 days straight)

Just because you logged into a certain type of meta, doesn't mean it stays like that.
And if Agro is being played there are much better choices then Reynad's Avenge.

There's only been a few times that a deck has been so OP that it could be played into any meta, and became the meta itself through every shift.

Multiple forms of nerfed Hunter decks, Orginal Miracle, Zoo at release, etc

Just went 0-3 in Arena for my first time ever.... but ended up getting a Golden Cenarius.

Worth.

That Reynad style pally secret aggro is fun but I agree its not consistent enough for higher ranks. I played the hell out of it when Naxx was fresher and it took people a bit by surprise at first. But it seemed like eventually there were tons of decks to counter all the zoo and hunter, which were even better at countering the pally. SoJ is actually way slow in that deck, Mukla and the Oracle end up fucking you more often than not, and the two divine favors that are vital as your only real way to avoid stalling out can just as often end up being very dead cards. I only ran one DF for that reason, when it works well and you draw a shit ton of cards at just the right time off a handlock/priest/war/druid or whatever its fun as hell, but just not consistent enough draw power given the cost and the conditions.

That deck is just so dependent upon drawing (1) equality when you need to get past something big and (2) divine favor when you're running low. When you get those when you need them the deck works great, when you don't, the deck is no better or worse than any other failed combo deck. I think a better version is one that takes out the rush aspect and adds in more sticky dudes and buffs like kings, protector, oozes, yetis, argus, belchers, & guardians. gives you a solid midrange deck that is fully capable of taking the board state back at any time from a control deck and still has enough early game to fend off pure rush.

Damn you people get way into this meta shit. You know how many times I played top tiered rated decks and lost because I didn't draw something i needed? I play shit because it's fun.

I've been playing since Alpha, and I've been playing bots the whole time, Laf. That must be it...

The bots are on free accounts that they sell to dumb players, so only one getting hurt is the people that buy accounts.
If you are retarded enough to run a bot on your main account for something as useless as a Golden hero, you deserve the ban.

What's funny is they are only banning for the next 3 monthes, then the buyers get their full account back with anything earned on it.

Just got beat by a rank 1 priest using fucking mindgames when I had force roar next turn. Dude uses mindgames and gets a fucking sludge belcher. So rustled.

Has anyone been religiously watching Reynad's stream?

I've been tooling around with Cancer as the season closes, tracking my statistics versus the different metas trying to change out some of the cards to put it over the top.

I feel like it's almost perfect ,but it is missing just one thing. Does anyone know if Reynad has also been experimenting with that deck? I'd like to see his choices on the base.

Went from 2 to legend with this...felt like a 80-90% win rate against hunter. Loved the concedes after popping their traps and oozing their bow.
Could probably replace the bgh if you dont see handlock or decks with big creatures.

I played druid last night to get my gold. And both times I got to play turn 2 innervate coin into a five drop. Shit wasn't fair. You draw some you lose some

I think the Control Warrior mirror is worse than playing a Priest. I just had a 21 minute match I won in fatigue that I know I did 61 damage to his face myself (have the 100 damage quest, and first game today), plus another like 15 fatigue
