Thatâs hardly a representative feat, and might have been a lucky streak (these happen, as well as unlucky ones). A âlegend-worthyâ deck, in my opinion, is something you can climb with to Legend every season, more or less, given that Classic is immutable.
Sorry to spoil it for you, but thatâs hardly a feat: many things beat control warrior, and itâs hardly a good (tier 1 or 2) deck, too; itâs decent against face hunter, perhaps, very good against freeze mage â which, as said, is a âtier 3â (I donât get all those âtiersâ, but if people are comfortable using these terms, so be it) niche deck, but thatâs about it, more or less; itâs beaten by druids, has a tough match-up against rogues (which is quite important) and midrange hunters (these are less common at higher ranks, though), strives to equalise against trash (âzooâ) warlocks and even struggles against such outsiders as slow paladin or even midrange shaman â so itâs hardly as good a deck as many people imagine it to be. It became really big only in Naxx, with all those unstable ghouls, axes (Deathâs Bites) and sludge belchers and the aggro meta defined by the Undertaker.
Iâm not sure about the exact odds for such an exotic match-up, but thatâs hardly impressive, considering that itâs probably the best one against âtier 1â (or 2⌠depends how you count⌠once again, Iâd take all those âtiersâ with a pinch of salt) decks.
I donât know how you count, but itâs more or less two combos with equality, and thatâs about it. Oh, and if you donât draw the one with pyromancer against aggro (or rather the aggro warlock in particular), youâre probably toast (by turn six plus-minus).
Oh, but it is. Slow, clumsy, reactive and very vulnerable to all those burst-damage, high-tempo combos that are prevalent in the Classic meta.
Exactly. Oh, and these are âtier 1â decks, if you will, by the way (of course, I play completely different versions for these classes from what youâll probably meet with all those netdeckers: I play a âTaunt druidâ with a single combo and extra healing, mostly when I face a lot of aggro or something like it, and an aggro rogue â the classic version with Coldlight Oracles â if I meet a lot of clowns with the goblin rogue and such, however, itâs rather bad against zoo; my other go-to deck is a custom hunter; I generally donât play decks I donât like and consider trash â not from the âtierâ perspective, but subjectively, if you will).
You might have encountered a bot streak, as mentioned earlier â thatâs been a thing recently. On the other hand, there are probably better decks for farming botlocks (maybe even freeze mage?), if thatâs the current climbing strategy, too.
PS I think you tend to meet some actual players now when you get higher into the Legend rank.
Another virtually nonexistent thing, more or less for the same reasons mentioned above as the slow paladin.
If it were Classic arena, then yes, perhaps, but in constructed play youâre unlikely to even get an opportunity to play a 10-mana card, and value doesnât matter. Iâve written in detail about Ysera, which would be the best legendary in the game, but sadly isnât, for example, this is even more true for cards like Mind Control. Just forget them.
Whatâs his deck got to do with mine? I think youâre really confusing two things here.
I believe Iâve hinted above at what I think about âcontrol hunterâ, isnât that obvious enough?
PS Mine is more of a âhybridâ, by the way, but Iâm probably not gonna post the details, because there are few who can actually create something and, on the other hands, many copycats, netdeckers and clowns.
Thatâs why I report all of them as bots, which they probably are.
Well, with a good defensive deck you can actually prolong that matchup that far, provided that the game goes your way.
No, better to âBotstoneâ â Iâve already written about the recent influx of bots, have I really got to repeat it again?
