I am just looking for some coaching from an experienced legend player. Trying to get legend status this month. Have pretty much every card and willing to play whatever to get me there. Lmk if you can help!

Pick shaman

insert trogg totem golem and all the aoe's

Cross your fingers in the mirror match

win every other match

Profit

Thanks I'll give it a shot, I've used tempo mage, dragon warrior, Ramp Druid, and zoolock and I've went from rank 11-13 in 3 hours.

Ouch... Am ranking a little slower this season//playing a little bit less and so still sitting at rank 1-2 atm.
I've played Tempo mage, beast druid, zoo, and a little bit of rogue.

I feel like everything has just been more inconsistent in general.. -- aside from shaman.. which is just a monster atm.

Personally I want to play rogue for the final 7-8 wins I need.. But idk I may cave in and just put on the shaman cruise control.

Only played up to rank 6, but my highest winrate deck has been Renolock followed by Secret Hunter

Thanks for the tip. I'm currently playing secret hunter and can confirm I'm doing better! Will try renolock soon.

made it to seasonal epic golden with this deck

those decks you need "skills" for certain menuevers (refer to world championships on how pro the players were with discards and rag shots), imo stick with shaman.

Out of the decks you refer to, the most successful one against the current meta is tempo mage.

I think a common mistake people make when ranking up is switching decks out of frustration when they lose a match. Rather, it's most effective to rank up with one deck and know the "ins" and "outs" of your deck.

Being familiar with match ups is the most important aspect of reaching legend. You have to know your win conditions and generally a lot of people play to survive rather than create the winning condition for their deck. It's difficult to summarize how to reach legend in a forum post but I would begin by analyzing the plays when you lose games as there are always causal factors into why you lost. Of course there's also variance where you're going to get absolutely trashed due or trash your opponent. But learning from your mistakes is the best and stick to mostly one deck. If you haven't reached rank 4 ever, it could take a while to reach legend so be prepared for the absolute grind.

Here is my shaman list i used to hit top 50 legend

Double fire ele no barnes 1x horse 1x harrison its teched to have an above 50/50 win % in shaman vs shaman matchups

Getting to rank 5 is just learning your deck once you hit rank 5 the difference (generally speaking) between a legend player and someone stuck around rank 3-5 is in the mulligan. Then getting to top 500ish legend requires you to be able to read your opponents hands and play accordingly.
