I have faced a lot of Druid quest opponents and lost some of them but won more of them. My mage removal and refill and card-draw was just better, and more chances on real crazy bonkers op stuff happening. Their main problem: they can not remove and fill board at the same time, and have limited draw. So either they can remove your board and its your turn to fill it again leaving you on top, or they put something on the board with some choose-one spell. While other decks have powerful remove-and-play-minion options available (stuff with rush etc).
For instance the deck shown by RandomGuy: the highest stat on a minion in that deck is 5-10 or 10-5, while as a mage its not uncommon to summon several minions with stats >7-7 (mountain giants, 1-cost big minions using Luna, conjurer calling on some big dudes etc). So in theory the quest delivers nice cards to play, but the factual minions on the board are not that strong and easier to remove.
I haven't been playing quest druid, but I've faced a lot of quest druids today for some random reason. The strong quest druid players are the ones that hold onto their choose one cards until after they complete the quest. They know why those choose cards are in their decks and why they need both effects at the same time. This means that minion presence and minion removal is not too important if the player knows how to pilot the deck, especially with healing or with card draw. They can leave their side of the board empty until completing the quest and then flood the board with buffed minions all at once if they do it right. Give it some days and you'll find out that it's not so easy to beat, once the pilots get their licences
The deal with upvoting and downvoting is that a lot of people don't know what it means and use it according to their own perception of the world. In the end, it's pretty meaningless to focus on it all or worry about lost opportunities for discussion. There might not have been anything to talk about and the downvote was intended to be positive. You'd be surprised to learn how many people downvote something because they agree with the negative statement in the post or comment.
Piss of stupid control warriors with 0 new cards. Go get a fucking life you miserable cunts. And no playing 29 removal cards + DR Boom doesn't make you a player that plays difficult decks. The deck you are playing is piss easy.
The same applies to Mech Hunter or Bomb Hunter, whatever you want to call it. These two decks, control warrior and bomb hunter, will be back in full force pretty soon. I got tired of losing games and just queued up my bomb hunter deck and proceeded to bash various quest decks smacking them all in the face. It's fascinating how a control deck and a midrange deck are no brains required and no need for cards from the new expansion and how one is the bane of the other
I'm so sorry! I thought mine was a horrible experience. I think from now on I'm going to open packs drunk and make sure I'm wearing headphones with the volume way up so I can feel upbeat about it all. I can hear "EEEEPPPIC" and "LEEEGENDAARY!" and focus on the excited tone of voice and not so much on the shit value.
Well FML I had no idea this thread existed. As I had no clue, I missed my opportunity to pray, and I received the dreaded random quest shit card for the Warrior class.
I got Hack the System. I'm very annoyed. My pack opening session was a HUGE disappointment. I don't know how long I'm going to be irritated. So far the only Standard deck I can create that's somewhat decent is Warlock Lackey zoo, since I got a Dark Pharaoh Tekahn. But Warlock Zoo continues to suck, of course, because Control Warrior destroys it. I really hoped I could get the Rogue quest since I'm 200 wins or so away from golden hero portrait for Rogue. Won't be happening. Alternative rogue decks without the quest aren't great.
I think I'm probably going to play the game and not have fun for a while until I can craft some decks that are a little less sucky.
I tried it. It's a lot of fun to use in casual. I also tried it in ranked mode. It's not bad. Your opponent typically doesn't understand what you're doing, which is an advantage.
Oh great Bear Fairy that never shaves, I wish for these things in Hearthstone:
1) I am always lucky when I play this game.
2) Change the dust economy so that disenchanting cards gives me dust proportionately more close to the price of creating a card with dust. For example, I'd say it should be like a GameStop or better proportion when considering buying and selling games (does GameStop exist anymore?) So like, I can disenchant a common for 20 dust and craft one for 40, I can disenchant a legendary for 800 or 900 and craft one for 1600.
3) Make ranked play less random and stupid. Actually create a ranked play experience that allows players to truly show how serious they are about the game with rankings that actually reflect their skill rather than how many hours they put into the game.
I love this new GUI. I was in the middle of using the "old" one and then had to reload the page and magically, there's a top bar menu and everything, along with a drop-down menu for my account.
Why do I even bother playing this stupid game? Oh yeah, because of the legendary quests that are more generous than usual, just in case I want to play in the future. The special quests that are easy like "Draw 30 cards for 200 gold" or whatever aren't really making me happy.
Fuck this game, god dammit. It is my turn to get all the good nut draws. MY FUCKING TURN. I've been drawing like shit for two weeks now. Enough of the punishment. I've shown you I can conquer with shitty card draws. Give me my good luck, RNGesus. I have proven myself. Also, I'm still playing this piece of garbage card game, so I'm fucking loyal. I deserve a little treat for my masochism.
This game can suck it. Casual, ranked, no matter what mode, it's been a negative experience for me today. No matter what deck, no matter how hard I try, no matter what I do. Sometimes it takes too much effort to call this activity "playing a game."
Mostly, I'm irritated because I can't even turn to casual mode to do gold quests. All I had to do was play some cards. Precisely, I had to play thirty hunter cards. I didn't need to win. I spent my first 15 minutes of quest completion not playing a single card, because warrior after warrior conceded. Did I have mech hunter ready to go in casual when I need to play 30 hunter cards? No, of course not. I had cheapy creepy midrange hunter that has all the hunter cards to play.
All you people who autoconceded could have felt good about yourselves winning the game, letting me slap out my thirty hunter cards not caring about winning.
Casual is too traumatic, obviously. The pressure in casual is making people explode too soon. They can't take it. Especially the warriors. It's too much.
Please make casual a nice place for us all to complete quests for gold. Otherwise, I'm in serious need of a foil hat. Last time I posted here, I said I was going to focus on gold and not rank. What happens? I get delayed on the gold quests all of the sudden when I turn my back on ranked.
If this weird shit continues, I'm not only putting on my foil hat. I'm going to revive the arguments about how matchmaking isn't random and the server is out to get me. I'm going all hard core reviving the arguments about how I changed one card in my deck that caused me to be matched against 16 freeze mages in a row. I'm serious, people. Either hear me or fear my foil hat. I'll put it on and block out your evil bad juju blizzard rays.
Unless you're willing to get creative and experimental, right now the control decks available are the ones that are available. You could experiment. I think Shaman is the best candidate for control experimentation right now.
exactly, so if any of you have any particularly exciting ones, would love to take them for a ride. I don't care about win rates other than it would be nice not to lose every game.
In general, I miss being able to counter tier 1 aggro decks with fun things.
Right, so you're seeking the net deck that hasn't been posted on the net and you're looking for somebody to do the work for you. This is the stage of the game, in the post rotation times, when all you can do is rely on your own abilities to construct decks to deal with your little pocket meta crap, whether in casual or ranked. It's the time of the tech cards. Nothing more to do.

I've found Nomi Priest to be kind of dull. I'm like, "Look at me! I can draw cards and clear the board!" It's almost like Nomi Rogue, which is like, "Look at me! I can take out your minions, slap you in the face, draw all my cards in one turn, and slap out a Chef Nomi!"
