Got to rank 10 today going 5-1. Going to take a break but I'll probably try to get to rank 8 today. I'm still dealing with ladder anxiety which I need to deal with if I want to play well at rank 5+, last time I got there I made a lot of mistakes because of it.

Got to rank 9. I think that's fine for today. Got matched up with a lot of Paladins and Warlocks that were giving me more trouble than usual.

I forgot to mention, yesterday my winrate was 67%. Today it wasn't so great, I ended up going 9-8, losing to mostly zoolocks, mech mages, and secret paladins . But I hit 100 druid wins and got rank 8. I've noticed that I seem to be doing better during the morning, around 10am. My hypothesis is that people are trying to play while they are at work and aren't focusing very much. I'm going to try to play more in the morning to test this out.

Today was rough, but I was able to get to rank 7. I went 14-14 but was able to string some wins together and go 19-15, which is only 56% but my season winrate is still 61% at 76-49. 76-49 is significant because the difference is 27, and you need a win-loss difference of 25 to get from rank 5 to legend. So even though it is at the lower ranks, being able to reach higher than 25 win spread is significant I think.

Got bullied down to rank 8 by secret paladins. But I saw one streamer a really like, a guy named SpooN04, go from rank 4, down to rank 8, up to rank 3 in one day, and he's a multi-legend player and tournament winner. So if it happens to guys like him then I figure it's bound to happen to guys like me.

But I made some deck changes:
-2 Shade of Naxxramas
-1 Azure Drake

+2 Mouted Raptor
+1 Harrison Jones

The Raptors are just supposed to be nice, sticky minions that can fight off some aggro, and Harrison is Harrison. I didn't create a new profile in the deck tracker for it, so I won't be able to compare winrates well, but most of my current stats are from frank 10 and below so those aren't too relevant anyway.

Today was pretty bad, finished going 15-15. I was getting bullied hard by paladins in the morning before I tech'd in Harrison, then in the afternoon I got all the tempo mages. But because of win streaks I was able to hit rank 6.

Got to rank 5. I'm halfway there! And with 3 weeks left in the season. This is looking promising.

Today was pretty good. I had a 64% winrate going 14-8 and finished at rank 4. I got I think the best opening imaginable against a Control Warrior. This is how my board looked on turn 4.








And just a couple turns later I was able to double Force of Nature. Didn't even need Savage Roar.







And here's Rank 4, which is tied for my highest rank ever.
