Naga Mage is EVEN BETTER than I predicted. 71-17 (81%) score on the way to
#1
legend, which is absolutely insane. Nothing I have ever played has had this high of a winrate with a sample of decent size.
Multicaster is core. Hot Streak and Siphon Mana are awful IMO, Azshara is ok.

There is a hidden mechanic in Twist, where playing a rogue deck with 34 cards and the basic rogue skin turns all your cards golden and unlocks special emotes.
For more information google "Valeera rule 34"
Out of worlds, congratulations

I thought I would be sad, but since I played well even for my standards, I feel mostly relieved that I won't blame myself for losing.
I can't express how grateful I am for this opportunity, and this year as a whole. Thanks everyone ❤️
20-5 with Big Spell Mage??? I can't believe how good this deck actually is, it's just a bunch of mediocre cards slapped together but it JUST WORKS
Dungar MVP, +10 health is nutty vs DH
Friendship ended with Spitelash Siren, now Barbaric Sorceress is my best friend!
75-25 on rank 1 with paladin. My MMR has never been this high before (it takes 4 minutes in queue before I even get matched vs other top 10 players).
Good luck to anyone brave enough to try climbing past me this month :)
FINALLY RANK 1! Played my Shaman deck (59-27) and this XL Skeleton Mage (14-10). I was testing Evoker and Rune, they may or may not be good in the deck.

@HS_Orange
! Back-to-back Top 8 is still incredible. This also means that I am 100% qualified to Last Call and tied for the Summer Seasonal, which means I have 2 chances at making worlds this year.
Feels amazing man.
Kept this to myself for the duration of the MT so my opponents wouldn't know, but 40 card big spell mage is by far the best deck in the game right now. I was surprised to see I was the only one who brought it to the tournament...
82-50 score, all of these games were in top 25
THE THREE TIME BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK TOP 16
I just keep playing the best cards every turn and it keeps working! So many of these games were super close and came down to good decision-making, contrary to what some might want you to believe
Decided to go for the MT invite, climbed from 80 to 5 with Control Shadow Priest. 40W-20L with this version; Attendant greatly improves the Warlock matchup.

Well... my competitive spirit was already fully exhausted last year, so I was just waiting to see if it would be financially sensible to keep competing part-time, like I did in the past. Finally confirmed to simply not be worth the time.
It truly was fun while it lasted 🥲
Are you ready for the TENTH YEAR of competitive Hearthstone?! This year is going to look a bit different from the previous few, so let’s get into what is coming to Hearthstone Esports.
21-9 (70%) with XL Beast Hunter. Faceless and Click-Clocker seemed stronger than the other options for the last few cards.

Updated Big Spell Mage list! Ram Commander works well as a solution to the lack of small removal. Starfish is good enough to warrant a 2-of. Finley is worth running but can be replaced with second Spammy.
I always saw this card back as something completely unattainable. Shows how far I've come. Never really thought I'd be playing HS competitively, especially not at such a high level, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity.
I still can't believe that Nourish was buffed to 5 mana just as we were FINALLY getting rid of Overgrowth. Ramp Druid has been the most boring deck to play against for the past 4 months (ongoing). I wish Kazakusan was nerfed to something like this at least
FROM NOT PLAYING STANDARD FOR MONTHS TO RANK 1 LEGEND IN ONE DAY LETS GOOO
Drek'Thar Druid for the win, LOK'TAR OGAR! FOR THE HORDE!
SO HYPED for the new expansion 🔥🔥🔥
Finished top 4 in the Masters Tour, barely missed out on Worlds. Had some really unfortunate games in the last match, but I also let that affect my gameplay and made some mistakes.
It was fun (but stressful) to compete again. I'll consider qualifying again, but probably won't.
Another potential upgrade to Big Spell Mage! Goldshire Gnoll works well when you usually play only one card per turn, and many of those cards generate more cards (Ram, Mailbox, Guard, Evoker).
Spammy/Watchpost are interchangeable with Varden or other tech cards like Mordresh
Alright, shows over, this is THE COMP. 100% (8-0) Winrate to 9k, I wanted a bigger sample size but this is just absurdly good. Ever wanted a second Diablo in your comp, but with 0 Speed? BLINK FOX (w/ Tenth Tail) has you covered!
See you at rank 1 :)
⬇️ short guide below ⬇️
Small update on Quest Druid: this is the list I've been most comfortable with for a few days now. Samuro is key in a lot of matchups. Lightning Bloom > Overgrowth

Dusted off the ol' "Control" Shadow Priest! Actually pretty good in this meta. I'll get a bigger sample size of games and improve the deck from here.

Deathrattle Relic DH was probably the most fun deck I played on day 1, plenty of room for improvement in the list as well.

Doing fairly well with this gnoll-free version of Mine Rogue (17-13). Filletfighter and Inkveil Ambusher push a lot of damage early. Crabatoa and Okani have been good so far.
22 -> 4 today, PRIEST DOUBTERS FUMING
Same list with -2x Knife Vendor for +2x Kul Tiran Chaplain, Knife Vendor is good vs mage/lock/dh but sucks vs rest.
Getting rank 1 tomorrow!
A few days ago I was talking about how XL Quest Hunter might actually be good, played it on stream yesterday and went 14-6 (70%). Made the list after seeing a lot of other versions, as always I just cut the bad cards & put in the good ones. Urchin Spines idk about though.
Naga Mage is fun :)
Climbed from 1000 to 140 after patch with it. Trying out Finley for now, but I can't really say what the best list is until I get good at playing the deck (again).
Exciting news: I'm finally partnered with Twitch, and perhaps more importantly, I got rid of that dreadful underscore at the end of my username!
Thanks for all the support lately, I hope you guys are enjoying the streams as much as I am!
UNLEASHED THE SECRET METABREAKER IN OPEN CUP AND INSTA WON
Custom Mage2.1 uses REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY to farm opponents, unnerfed Solarian and Jandice are the nuts + Wandmaker gives Evocation.
Also, I think unnerfed Scavenger's Ingenuity is the best 30th card for Quest Hunter
I WAS PLAYING QUALIFIERS JUST TO TAKE A BREAK FROM 80% ROGUE ON LADDER AND WON THE DAMN THING???
LMAO
P.S. I will virtually smack the next person who says Quest Druid is not a good deck
Still rocking a solid 67% winrate (40W-20L) with Naga Mage in the last 3 days, favoured vs everything but Charge Warrior (including Control!)
Same list as last tweet, unsure about including Treasure Guard because I really like Glowscale.
Rune of the Archmage is exactly how I like randomness in Hearthstone, because it's very consistent at what it does (clearing the board + a few positive effects). Consistency while also allowing unique and memorable outcomes creates a fun experience.
Latest version of Wildfire/Big Spell mage! Deck is actually pretty good, there are a few flex spots available for tech cards as well. Mass Poly is insanely good vs Paladin, sucks vs most other decks. Could consider cutting Runes/Courier, but random spells are fun! 🙂
SPICIEST ONE SO FAR!
THEY CALLED ME A MADMAN. "You can't possibly build a good team without Cairne, Diablo or Varden!"
7-3 at
#2
EU with this banger of a comp! 2 of the losses were due to my mistakes, this comp is so powerful it transcends even my comprehension sometimes.
Might have skipped this MT if it didn't count for seasonals, already played way too much HS for tournaments this summer 😩
Out of my decks I've played 10 games of Miracle Rogue, 8 games of Imp Warlock and 2 games of Naga Priest, so basically I'm 100% going to win
Top 4 in the Masters Tour! Did all I could but the luck of the draw finally let me down. Ironically against a lineup I was targeting as well, but that's Alignment Druid for you.
Next time I'll make it to the finals for sure! 😤
Qualified to worlds twice this year 😂
Literally perfectly played series vs Tansoku btw, not even a single arguably suboptimal play. Probably the first time I ever did this (because it's a lot easier when playing fast decks compared to slower ones)
Swiftly climbed from 100+ to
#1
with my favourite deck in the meta. I refuse to run Mini-Mage in any serious deck, just as a matter of principle.
Deck code:

So now you saw Voone and Blink Fox in my comps, but how about both in one?😉 90% WR (9-1) and rank 2 EU with this one, it counters the very common Varden start (or just any blue start). Voone + Samuro > Xyrella + Samuro
short guide below ⬇️ (again)
@RidiculousHat
"Charge Forward!" "My blade be thirsty." "A fight? Count me in!" "Haha, pile on!" "Everyone, get in here!" *whirlwind noises* "I strike"
Here's the paladin deck I've been playing since the end of September in top 5 legend btw. 38-28 score (58% wr)
But surely no one got baited into playing pala in the MT...
My take on Wildfire Mage! I think the deck has a lot of potential. Overflow has very good synergy with parrot and Dawngrasp. Ice barrier is a whole lot of health gain with the hero as well, I like it better than the other Frost spells.
Will be playing more of this tomorrow! 😄
MrSholpan is on the MT stream, just wanna put it out there that this guy is a known streamsniper and I would imagine he qualified by sniping as well.
Image of his messages in my chat during a game versus him, sniping "for fun" and comparing himself to duriwinner (another sniper)
High-level tournament play causes more stress than I ever could have imagined as a viewer.
Congratulations to all the worlds players for performing so well despite it, now get some well-deserved rest
People have been asking where I've been, so I'll just come clean now. A close friend of mine committed suicide last week and I've obviously been feeling a bit down.
Didn't want to make a fuss about it, but I can't pretend nothing happened either.
Fall champs runner-up, congrats to
@TL_Bunnyhoppor
for winning and for the worlds qualification. Finals were very one-sided, but when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object things are bound to get weird 😂 would've liked to be the back-to-back champ but oh well.
Enjoying Marvel Snap lately, idk the specifics of the ranked system but I hit the last one on the graphic so I must surely be the nuts.
Just played a pile of reactive cards, snapping works best when you catch your opponents off guard (and they often snap when you win)
GM Last Call playoffs lineup 😮
I was going to submit a very risky lineup but did a 180 right before the deadline, went with a relatively safe one instead. Very glad I did after seeing the other lineups.
Mega hyped to play & watch the others!
Actually played some Mercenaries PvP now after lots of grinding, played this comp to top 10 EU on stream with like ~75% WR today, f2p btw :)
Start with Voone (2), Varden (3) and Tavish (3)
Usual follow-up is Cairne (3) -> Diablo (3) -> Sylvanas (3)
(Equipment number in brackets)
4-0 start in the Masters Tour again! Very happy with my play overall, although in the 3rd round (match on stream) I didn't play as well as I should have.
Let's get this back-to-back Top 16!
LIGHTSHOW GAMERS, RISE UP
Score is 95-62 (61%), maybe would have gone for the finish had I started playing a few days earlier, but I really want to get some sleep tonight.
6-0 in the Masters Tour now, just one more win for guaranteed top 16! If I go 8-0 in swiss, I have a good chance to qualify to the seasonal too.
Will keep trying to do my absolute best from here!
