There are several possible reasons - the meta is changing due to upcoming nerf (secretpala becoming top deck and people preparing for that), we're coming into mid-season, you might even try at the wrong time of the day, stuff like that.

Don't quote me on this tho, I haven't played HS long enough to be able to navigate the landscape with total confidence.

But I can assure you, by no means are silverfish, BlackOaks datasets and HR becoming worse :) If that was the case, there would have been a more tangible reaction around here, as compared to a single occurence like yours.

Let us know how you fare.


Best,

Thanks Vick, but for me I give my time for free I buy cards all the time to be honest just not been lucky with a few of the epics is all. As for botmaker I will happy to donate to his caffeine fund :)

@everyone Added a TempoTotem (shaman control) deck thanks jdubya29 testing shows a good win rate (over 55% on lower runs on ladder) and is quite quick. I will also be looking at another deck by jdubya29 once I have time to test :)

Roger that, great to have it cleared up. I have had a different experience elsewhere and probably concluded based on that.

I think buying botmaker a cup of coffee would be cool, I'll post and ask what he thinks

Best,

last night Thx BlackOak :D

Rank 11-8

paladin midrange, BlackOak settings

All I know is that should be both doable and easy if knowing how. Maybe look into the small guide in first post? Or was the guide in the separate post with the general settings datasets.

Let us know how it goes!

Yeah sure it's on my to do list, I can add a nudge to force out mad scientist on coin but more than that combo doesn't allow for it.

EDIT: Unless I put a penalty on playing without mac-the-knife :) okay added to default combo and facehuter

I have to do testing to check why the S18 version we used is failing atm, becaue that thing was pretty solid in S18.

I was merly saying i saw the Meta snapshot posting this very different deck and was pointing that out. it seemed weaker to me right away and you make good points.
Allot will change after today though, with patron gone in a few hours it will flipflop the whole meta.

Atm iam still testing the warrior, probably the last week of the season i will go back to paladin or druid since i think it has the most potential to get rank 5 (the chest i want) unless warrior will get there.
I had best results so far in S19 with Mid-range Druid but i stopped testing with it after it got 500 wins (golden) around 55% on rank 7 but i didnt post it because i didnt have good data on it

the deck i used for my druid was is:



EDIT: it just happened my HS is updated and warsong commander is now nerfed.

Tbf the only difference between this and emi's deck is -1x haunted creeper +1x equality.

Iam aware of that ofc :) but i ment u could also said swap out a creeper for a equality instead of posting a whole deck, it's more confusing :) but thats imho, didnt ment it negative - all contribution to getting a higher rank is much apreciated!

Hi guys..

I have been playing with the SecretPally decks. And this is the best for me so far.

Hovering between 3-5. Best 3+2 stars.
