How Good Are the New Battle-Ready Hearthstone Decks? Which Ones You Should Pick Based on Power and Value?
I mean, playing ranked incentivizes you to play well-performing decks. The issue is the absence of in-game environment to play these decks you created on your own in at least semi-serious set-up (because let’s face it, casual is not it) – like when you came to your local card store and played a friendly game of MTG with someone who was just there.
I’d love to play my own crafts, but I also know I am not that good a deckbuilder, so I’d rather take a Tier 2 deck (of archetype I am comfortable with) and play on ladder with 54% winrate, than build my own craft and get gobsmacked around by people playing the best decks.

Hunter’s “Aggression 122” or Druid’s “Choices, choices + Swarm 57” are superior. Mirrors are braindead, facing each other depend on Hunter drawing the 1/3 lifesteal rush. (If Druid aviods playing minions for first 4 turns, gives them huge advantage)
I like the nerf suggestions, and the sheer amount of nerfs suggests that caravans are indeed getting buffed. Great article overall 🙂
The one opinion I disagree with is that Priest needs another rework because it’s “random nonsense”. Sure, it relies heavily on resources from outside the deck, but it is “controled” generation – unlike for example the Amazing Reno, Puzzlebox or Solarian, in Priest, you still have to make a lot of choices to play Priest well. I think having a class like that, with a high skill-cap, adds good variation to the game and complaining about Priest is easy, but not overly justified IMHO. Sure, I hate losing to them, but looking back at the games, usually, they beat you by playing well and understanding the economy of the game. That’s much more enjoyable than losing to SMORC decks…
