   Some of the most famous streamers of Hearthstone. Some of the greatest meme deck players and entertaining characters. Toast said yesterday on his stream that he will focuse memes of his community. Will be fun! I actually dont wanna see meta, i wanna see memes! Pogo Rogue, BombWarrior, HakkarHealPally and some funny stuff with Jepetto!

      You know what, some of that meme stuff might actually turn out to be meta... Just saying :D

   Meta? The RoS expansion isnt even available yet so there's no meta! :p
   There will be some experimenting and testing new cards! And just seeing the new cards in action will be pretty nice :)

      That's exactly why I've said that you don't have to worry about them breaking the meta. I've heard a lot of voices that running an event like that is bad, because pros will already figure out what's great and expansion's launch will be boring.

      Which is not true - even if the 6 pros test decks over 8 hours, A LOT more playtesting will be done on the ladder in a minute after the expansion's launch.

   Hi. As a person newer to theory crafting and deck building in general, does anyone have any pointers on making a solid deck?

      Some guidelines:

      - Know your win-condition(s).
      - Make your deck as consistent as possible by including smaller number of different cards in order to consistently draw each turn what is the most important, optimal and helpful to achieve your win-condition(s).
      - Most decks want to curve well: early, mid and / or late game. Aggro tends to have more early drops, while control less of them... For example, an aggro deck on average wants 6-10 1-mana drops, 4-6 2-mana drops, 4-6 3-mana drops... finishers... etc... Curving is the basic rule of deckbuilding. You simply must select several of the best, for example, 3-drops. You cannot include 10 of them, just because you like them, your curve would suck in that situation. Control and combo decks are somewhat different, but the point is the same. A control deck wants a proper number of early, mid, late game taunts, removals, etc...
      - After this try to include support cards, stabilization cards, card draw, removals, combo pieces...
      - You may want to include tech cards, those which help you fight common meta threats or deal with oppressive counters to your deck
