So Legend isn't going to happen this season again. Too much to do and too much procrastination tbh. For the most part, all the decks I played this season I had aboce a 60% winrate, so I was playing well. I know I still need to work on making less mistakes, but I still feel like I'm easily capable of Legend if I stop being lazy. Got one win away from Rank 3, that's probably where I'll leave it.

Been playing pretty steadily this season, even though I haven't been posting much. Got into this really close match with a Secret Paladin. Was at 1hp for 2-3 turns before finally closing out the game. Got rank 5 too.

I had a full board so I couldn't play Knife Juggler + minions. Using power overwhelming on a boombot I was 2 off lethal. So all I need is boombot to roll 2, 3, or 4. So of course it rolls 1 and then I just get Hero Power'd to death next turn. But I got to rank 4 with 60% winrate for today.

Been playing Zoo still and it's going pretty well. Lots of Secret Paladins, Druids, and Aggro Shamans on the ladder still, which are all favorable matchups to zoo. Got halfway through Rank 3. I really want to get Legend before Standard mode hits.

So I decided to spend the 4.8k gold I had on classic packs. Getting cards that were nerfed leads to more dust than buying packs for new cards. I got Leeroy and Cenarius. I then accidentally crafted Golden Thalnos.

Feeling pretty upset about how I played. I got to Rank 1 with 4 stars then I just fucked up and played super tilted. Started playing different decks and de-ranked to rank 6. So, I guess I'll just wait for standard and see how that goes. Would have been great getting Legend before standard. But over the last two days of grinding I realized some things about my Hearthstone habits. One is that when I grind I end up playing on auto-pilot and play badly. So, I guess I just need to work on playing with focus still.

These are the two Legendaries that I got from my Wrath of the Old Gods pre-order:

I decided to craft these other two Legendaries, and now these are the three decks I am currently liking:

So here's what's been going on. I finished this semester on the 17th, so for the past week I've been only playing very casually, trying to learn the new meta and try out some new decks. Some decks I've tried out more than others, and there are a few top decks I want to play and I just don't have the cards for. So I'll start with the decks I tried that didn't seem that good and I'll go on to the decks I am currently using.

Bad Decks

-C'Thun Druid - I know a lot of people were playing this near the end of last month, but I tried it and it really just didn't seem that strong. It was very slow and just doesn't seem to win against Aggro Shamans or Miracle Rogues.

-Reno Lock - I think this one was just a victim of the current meta game on ladder. It has really bad winrates against Miracle Rogue and Aggro Shaman. There just aren't enough Priests to make it worth it. Still a deck I want to try out more though.


Okay-ish

-Control Warrior - I think the problem I was having with this deck is just figuring out how to tech it for this meta. I think it should have a Ragnaros and I just don't have that card.

-C'Thun Warrior - Same as above really. Just need the right deck list I think.

-N'Zoth Paladin - I was expecting this to do well and it just seems to draw awkwardly a lot. It doesn't have the turn 2-3 plays that Control Warrior has with cards like Fiery War Axe and Bash, so if you don't curve out well into your Truesilver Champions or your Consecrates you just seem to fall too far behind.

-Freeze Mage - Like N'Zoth Paladin, it seems to need to curve out really well. I've been able to get like 50% winrate with this deck, and I'd like to keep playing it, it just doesn't seem all that good on ladder.


Good

-Zoo lock - Still a great deck. Does great against Aggro Shaman and the few Druid decks on ladder. Problem is it gets blown out by Tempo Warrior. Whether or not I play it just depends on what I'm queuing into that day.

-Aggro Shaman - Very powerful deck. Not much to say about it. Play big minions, get some overload, wait a turn, player bigger minions. Then you equip Doomhammer and win.

-Miracle Rogue - Such a fun deck. Seems to really only lose with a terrible curve or no Gadgetzen Auctioneers. Aside from that, it does great against Control decks. Pretty weak to Aggro Shaman, so I've considered teching in a Harrison Jones. But we'll see.



Here are my decklists:

So I decided to kick it into gear since the season is coming to an end and I've been doing some grinding. I'm sitting at rank 4 right now, and since I'm going to have plans from today until evening tomorrow. Which means it's time for another traditional last-day-of-season all nighter. I'm going to try to get to rank 3 today before I have to go but we'll see. I've been playing very well and I've had a great winrate. I know when I do my all night grinds I tend to play poorly, so I have to be careful to make sure I'm not going to play tilted.
