Had a funny moment the other day ....
I had been playing my mech rogue for several hours with resonable success, but then I ran into a few of those secret palas and had a hard time. So I decided to try my old rush pala - just - to see if that one would do any good against secrets ( given that they usually wait till turn 6 ( or 5 ) before all hell breaks loose 
So I did my respec and turned it back to what it was 3 month or so ago and fired up a game .....
And who do I ( of all people ) run into ? KrippEU with a beast of a Druid - Almost had him down but he out-healed me in the end - But nevertheless a fun experience

So, he actually does exist  From what I've seen in various videos he's not such an OP player (he never has luck, his words ). When I see him in action, he makes decisions or plays that I would never do. I'm not saying that I'm a hyper-uber player, but from what I see, he's not that good...

Well he is almost exclusively an arena player, and there he is very good. Consistently getting 9-12 wins.

I don't have the nerve to play ranked further then 15. The fact that you encounter so many annoying decks and you can't "skip" them like in casual is not my idea of fun. And frankly, the prizes are not that much to begin with. Free 155 dust suits me just fine...
@Sphere: Congrats, but that does not suprise me. Mech mage is a really good deck (imo still viable in constructed), and I would play it even today if I didn't switch it to Flamewaker/Malygos Mage (which I enjoy more) some time ago ...

I really hate how Hearthsone leans towards linearity. I mean, I make my own decks, or tweak some net-decks, but at the end of the day I must use either cheap tricks or net-decked "Hunters" to push through if I want to make something of this game (be it ranked or dailies). By "cheap tricks" I mean mechanism that base on a well known synergy instead of originality. Sure I have my fun with decks like Totem Shaman or Malygos Mage (my own tweaks included), but sometimes it just feels like a loop.
What I mean is, you really don't see much orignility in this game. Even in Tavern Brawl after some time you start to see some net-decks that exploit the mechanism. And the whole deck-building is not original, because there are some decks that exploit "this weeks" mechanism and others just won't do. So you have to build the same'ol Hunter (for instance) deck to make something of it. Where's the fun in that? You don't "build" a deck. You're just trying to figure out which ready-to-use schematics to apply here (Murloc or Face? All-high-cost or Aggro?).
That's why I like "Crossroad" Brawls. They're always feel fresh. It's simple RNG vs RNG with a bit of strategy, but at least I don't feel like a sucker (for trying something new and facing something that "works", and being pulverized by it) or having a deja vu (like with fighting Face/Zoo/Secret all over again) when I loose.
Oh, and that's why you don't see Shadowform Priest. Ever.

Thanks Blob
I just "went of the rails" when I reached lvl 9 ( 10 now :/ ) because I don't have any Nax or BRM cards in my deck(s) and that undead turn 5 card ( the name escapes me* ) is a pain in the neck and as the way I see it apparently an auto include in all decks nowadays.
I dont know if I make sence, but it's like having inferior cards and still beating opponants who has those .
And on my way to rank 9 I ran into a a control priest who copied his own Blechers hence having 4 or 5 of them in ONE game ...hehe but I took him down nevertheless
AHH - Sludge Belcher *
@Emil - Wouldn't it be a bit risky to build a deck only around shadowform ? I aint that good in my honest opinion.

Actually, Belchers are not that great on their own. Usually they only buy time, cause as a 5 mana cost their pretty much a tempo loss (their attack is weak). My point is that they're not a "threat". The problem is their "stickiness". Because you have to deal with 2 in 1 minion you loose your steam to get rid of them, while they cover opponents other minions, or they deny you of hitting his face. Sometimes it's enough to make you loose a game by a horses nail
Btw, out of curiosity, how did he copy them as a Priest? Ressurect only comes to mind...

I may have been wrong here, but I definitely remember some priest having 4-5 Blechers against me in a game ( ouch ) But I run EU and NA + Arenas at the same time so I may have mixed them up my bad.
Edit But you are right about the stickiness .... But that said, WHEN you beat one that tough ( refering to the 4-5 SB priest ) the sweet taste of victory is even better

I run a pretty cheap deck myself with mostly commons. Only exception is bloodmage thalnos (from a pack) and emperor thaurissan. In rank 6 now and only meet the same snow....face hunter, secret paladin, dragon priest and all of those strong decks. If i had antonidas or dr.boom i could even be higher i think.
Ih, nothing feels better the beating a control warriors (i always suspect the spent hundreds of bucks on all those legendary and epic cards)

Faceless manipulator copies minions. But who uses that on a Sludge Belcher?
Blob.. It's life dude... When someone thinks of the strongest idea; dragon priest, secret pala etc. other people will copy those decks in order to become the strongest. Imo I believe you should copy one of those and then tweak them yourself and then climb the latter and show us what you are made off.
About that shadow priest I just thought about the inspire mechanic and the idea of doing 2 dmg and buffing minions on the board. But as a priest you just dont wanna lose your self-heal.

Yeah, I know. It's people who make the game afterall. Yet Blizzard could either make a "card restriction/ban' system (optional!) or at least make "Crossroads" Tavern Brawl as a seperate mode (or better, keep the TB rotation system, but give an option to choose from a pool of random types of games or a permanent pool). I suppose they won't do it simply because people would choose some things over others and the rest wouldn't be played, but with this whole 'straightforward' approach they could at least give us some more options... that way people like me, who like to take a breather from the same 'ol grind, would have more ways to play the game.

I would really love to have the crossroads as a regular mode. I love that mode just as much as you.

Finally finished Black Rock Mountain . All Class challenges and on Heroic as well.
I will admit I kind of cheated on the last guys Heroic by reading that you didn't have to deal with the 3 parts of him if you managed to kill him in one blow while he still had a bit of armor. Basically get him down to 1 Armor then do 31+ damage and he's gone  Used Priest and hit him with a 44atk LightWell lol.

@EvilLoynis
Yeah, a well known "cheat" Beat him the same way...
After the mess with EU servers I managed to get my hands on two Classic packs (one was from a daily). It was about time to get a Legendary (my rough calculations were telling me that), unfortunately I've got Edwin van Cleef in it which I already had... I've also got a second BGH so one could say it was a nice pack overall. On the bright side that 400 dust from Edwin has given me enough recources to craft Tyrion Fordring. So you could say that at the end of the day I'm left with a very nice Legendary Now, on to Grommash!
A question to you guys: should I keep the second BGH? Or dust one of them? I think one (if any) is enough in any deck...

Double BGH can be used in one of my favorite decks Malygos Warlock. It has synergy with Shadowflame against aggro, and with Abusive Sergeant you can kill some 5 attack minion like Emperor Thaurissan. Both Handlock and Malygos Warlock struggle getting rid of Emperor Thaurissan turn 6 and that can lose you the game if not removed asap. That was before Patron nerf though (there was a lot of Handlocks on ladder trying to counter Patron at one point)
Never used double in another deck though. So feel free to disenchant at your will
