The final boss before reaching the next safe zone is incredibly challenging.
Put that thought out of your mind. Sounds easy but if you play the game before the next safe spot like “I HAVE to win this” then it will affect your game in a negative way and you will make mistakes you normally wouldn’t do.

No such thing as a final boss. Just another schmuck hoping to win like you. You win or you lose unless you tie then the world explodes and it’s your fault. Don’t think too deeply on it. You just killed billions of people after all. Well done.
There sort of is, you just swap to the best deck. That’s how to play “easy mode.”
I’ve been battling the final boss for over 20 hours, and it’s been a relentless struggle. Unfortunately, I keep losing.
Now I’m wondering: should I focus on gaining more experience or upgrading my gear? This boss is truly agonizingly difficult.
Are you talking about Hearthstone or World of Warcraft?
I finally made it to D5 after about 30 tries. I am going to stop here until next month. It’s extremely exhausting.
Most players are just old and experienced. After Diamond ~10 you start getting people who know very well what they are doing.
To escape Diamond 5 you have to combine good deck + good skill + time; I personally currently have a good deck that could help me escape it; but even in that case I don’t know if it’s even worth it because I don’t have the time to play for more than 4-5 constructed games a day and statistically that needs easily ~100 games.-
No not really. Making Diamond is easier than ever. Everyone who knows what they’re doing is in Legend already.
Nonsense. You are confusing it with people who have X2 inside Diamond 5.
Go without any star bonus in Diamond 5 and then say that again.
I made Legend on the 4th of this month.
And I’m not even good.
Edit: and no one except like the tippity top of Legend gets bonus stars the next month in D5-1. Certainly not me. I hadn’t played Standard in 18 months so I didn’t even have stars in D10-6.
Every time I’ve wanted to make Legend I have. This is a slight lie, I spent my first 2 years playing this game grinding until I could get meta decks (the game was interesting pre power creep+)… Since then making Legend is only an issue of time spent in the game. Which I’ve not been bothered about. There’s been 3 seasons I felt bothered (Pirate Warrior was cheap for me at the time, so that was my first), and hit Legend each time.
If you think that Diamond is where people think they know what to do, there’s a hole in your game. From my experience it was mostly face players in Diamond, and they don’t know when to trade minions, and just blindly go for damage. Occasionally it would work, and I’d lose against them. However, I was (in the 3 seasons I bothered to hit legend) also playing the same aggro face deck they were. So, my win rates against them were easily 60%+, with better play in general against them, and deck types hitting Legend was easy. I also don’t consider myself a good player really. Hitting Legend I was always 16000ish, and it didn’t excite me, hell I don’t even know why I play this game half the time anyway🤣 I’m not sure what star bonus you mean, but when I hit Legend, there was no bonus for win streak, or last season’s finish so it was a grind to get through. Most the other players on the other side felt like Diamond players to me, but I never went many games, I just wanted what was the Epic card back then. Now you just have to get to Diamond, and give up lol.
Anyhow, I’d reckon the good players now are probably Legend 5k+ (or - I guess as it goes down lol. Anyway…) To me a good player isn’t someone who can play a single turn optimally, which is where my skill ends (and I mess up sometimes anyway), a good player is someone who can play optimally now, and make some finer decisions which affect the game later on. That takes massive experience, planning, knowledge, and skill. Which I can’t be bothered with, so good luck, and have fun

Autosuggestion. You expect it to be harder because winning it is important for you, so to you it seems to be harder than it really is.
It’s just a match like any else. Although, if MMR was correctly calculated, it should go harder and harder after each win anyway
Human human here, can confirm human responses are stupid. Thanks.
Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy climbs to Diamond 1 and loses, and you think that of me? No. I am the final boss!

Calm down, Walt 
You’re breaking bad.
How many games? I personally have a good (and original) deck that I believe I can do it with its help, but I know I will probably need ~100 games; I have limited time this month to bother; and after the rotation it’s probably a benefit to get the achievement’s free leggo at that point.
For some… not for all. You cannot seem to put yourself in my shoes with my cards and my skill ceiling and seem to be able to grasp that getting out of Bronze is a struggle. I am a human, flawed just as much or maybe more maybe less than any other posting here. But your “barely trying” is like Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta to me and Im topping out at Raditz for my all time high score. I like your takes on a lot of things but the “ease” or “easiness” of such super high ranks is entirely subjective and not at all a universal experience for all human players. Im not saying what you think is wrong in any way, just qualifying the broadness of that brush you painting with is all.
Correct. I can’t seem to understand that at all because it doesn’t make the slightest lick of sense to me.
You can’t even lose stars in Bronze. All you have to do is win a few games. Doesn’t matter how many you lose along the way. So how can that possibly be hard? Do you only get to play one game a day or something?
I might play 1 or 5 standards a week, but out of those I might get lucky and win 1 or 2? its my least enjoyable version of the game honestly since it only lets me use like 20 to 30% of my card collection. but wild requires me to have at least one or 3 more legendaries from nearly all sets that I may only have 1 maybe 2 legendaries if any at all in given sets going all the way back to legacy. The only exception is Naxx as I did collect all that set, but everything else like from the single player campaigns to unlock their cards to today if it wasnt from the reward tracks, or the minisets, of that one time i bought a twist deck that gave me like 3 legendaries I didnt have, I just dont have the cards or skill to handle wild either. games are way to fast, everyone always has something that answers. I have like a couple spells that do dmg or destroy per class, a couple aoes per class. and maybe 1 or at most 2 board clear spells per class. almost every last one come from legacy set. (think blizzard/flamestrike/consecration/whatever shamans use thats like lighting for 3dmg and overloads you, etc. But I face so many matches where opponents can not only maintain 9 to 10 cards in hand at all points of the game but always have the solution to whatever I was doing my turn to where i can reliably know I wont have a minion live long enough to attack even if its got rush or charge.
I gave the only deck on SREplay that didnt require any crafting from me to make a netdeck for me to use, Totem Shaman was its title then but idk if its the same deck as anyone else’s Totem Shaman they run into. I gave standard a hardcore puch one month where I made myself play at least 2 matches a day in standard and I was able to reach my all time of plat 10 that month. good times, it was also when the anomalies were a small chance in all games. so I may have had some ladder rungs affected by that alone, but who knows? But as of right now I am at Bronze 8 this month. Lost about 8 or 10 matches im guessing this month so I think Ive gotten maybe 2 possibly 3 wins thus far?
