last season I used my own priest deck to rocket to diamond 5 then switched over the popular frost dk deck and hit legend for the first time ever.
I managed to hit di5 again but today no matter what deck I am trying I am getting completly screwed over every single game.
I tried to play a slower skeleton mage (yeah not top tier) and the game matched me against walls of priests, one copied all of my best cards and screwd me over nother setup 2 11 attack minions on turn 5 or 6
again running into walls of self healing blood dks , the last one that quad patchwerked me!! they always discover the answer.
tried playing my DR priest again, but nope I keep running into those frost dks and they destroy it, soon as I switch back to DK get matched against ARMOR druid, or even pirate warrior ! and people complain warrior has no decks, pirate quest is still here and itās strong enough it seems ?
walls of PURE greed priests that I donāt understand how they are even in the meta because they are so slow and greedy ?
I lost to a burgle rogue who just happen to discover every card he needed yay
I pack disruption ? priests are stealing it it from me and using it against me, I donāt pack it I lose to something disruption would have won me the game against !!
for every game I win feels like I am losing 2, I donāt run any logging app because I play hearthstone from linux (im lucky it runs as well as it does without mods)
suggestions ?
Can you give me an example of āpure greed priestā? I play thief dragon priest, which tends to be greedy, but itās also very proactive with a good low curve.

the main ones that I see ? they include the devour murloc, mad duke, that 3/2 deathrattle that gives them a random card, the priest hero to get more cards, 2 discover cards that let priest cherry pick cards from my deck, the legendary dude that makes them take the original card too,
usually deck is packed with taunts including the one that resurrects a minion for even more value and heals to stall so you end up getting a 40 minute game that priest outvalues and beats slower decks :S
what rank are you playing it at ?
I recommend, if you can, take the most bs deck to legend in the morning. seems like most serious players donāt care at that time, are asleep or at work, so the ones that play are easier to run over.
Thatās how I did itā¦

Thatās what he did last month. Now that the DK location has been patched and we have an open meta with no tier 0 deck to fall back on, he canāt win games at Diamond 5. Go figure.
I think you might be right about running into specific kinds of players are specific times, maybe weekend maybe not a great time to try it ? I am running into way too much variation of decks,
I just remembered I keep also running into pure paladin which seems like such a con of a deck ! its aggro, did aggro win ? no then it switches to big minions did that work ? no then it switches to free legendaries, god every single paladin because of order in the court plays out identical !
it is, a con, I did it to legend hahaā¦ still need to play it right.
But I think thereās a lot more players at d5-d1 now that are stuck due to all playing aggro. since the games get faster, they can play more games, and if they even hit that 51%+ wr, they will end up there eventually.
If you rock a solid 51%+ itās only a matter of number of games, itās a sad grindā¦
I was at a lucky time, it was day 2 after patch I think, and I did pally vs a mix of stuff that still was figuring out the game I think. so i did a 68& wr and a 6+5 winstreak.
Now I am a multi-time legend player, but this was still cheesing it to the max.

Its not you its just a grind. You need to be playing decks that have a huge/largely favoribile mach up vs the majority of your pocket meta.
Legit when everything is this balanced like it is right now its more luck than anything else.
Ppl act like hearthstone takes skill. It does to a point but nothing like everyone says.
Deck building is where the majority of the skill is at the ones that make the meta decks are the ones that hit the tops ranks. After thar small amount of actual skill its just rng.
I look at it like this 35-40% rng 55-60% deck building/deck selection & 5% skill(legit there is only so much u can do. your draw determines 95% of the game.)
Takes this from a t200 x8 time (peak 67) multiple time wild player.
Belive it or not that 5% is still a lot more than most of you thinking.

shadow priest, thatās another one that keeps showing up to ruin my day! makes me wish devolving missiles was still around
This curent Shadow/undead/deathrattle priest has been around and top tier for a while its nothing new. Infact i was prob one of if not the first to make it (my verson for sure havent seen anyone else run it, or it show up on any deck list.
Infact the one u see now i was using day 1 of expansion release theory crafted it back when they were anouncing cards tweeted about it and discussed it in my discord with my buddies.
shaman was the only thing holding it back in some cases but my deck had counters for shaman. Wss messing with it in 2022 a style simular to the curent one infact since the hero card came out iv been working on one with it.
Im sure im not the only one that was trying and discovered decks like this. But im positive i have seen anyone running the 40 card varaint im running now. This one takes more patence to play.
I would if anyone will ever figure of the deck iv been hitting legend with for over a yeah + when ever i try on my main account.
Mine is quite a bit diffrent than the current one in the meta it runs 40 cards takes out a few and adds a extra 9
I saw Pizza play a DK deck with a lot of self healing that looked really good. DK seems to be the answer to SP and has a good chance against most other things too.
