Standout Rastakhan's Rumble Decks From Week 1
And I hear you on the “can’t afford it” but I have a hard time believing that is the majority of Odd pally players.
Standout Rastakhan's Rumble Decks From Week 1
When you play a boring aggro deck to get a little more dust at the end of the season then you should really check your life priorities.
I can understand Odd pally showing up in tournaments and such (with ACTUAL competitive stakes) but ladder is just sad. You are just playing to brag and if that is your goal then go check yourself.
And the funny thing is, there is very little to brag about! If someone told me they got to legend I’m like “awesome!” but if they then said it was using only Odd pally I wouldn’t care. Its not an achievement, its a scourge.

And the lvl of shade by putting “Rastakhan’s Rumble” Odd pally is over 9000 LOL

Thank you for the rant about Odd Paladin. I have the exact same gripes about people who play that deck. Everyone is trying new decks with new cards and then Odd pally is sitting there with NOTHING NEW and still owning the meta. It seriously has to stop.
The deck isn’t even fun to play. I imagine the people who play it are masochists.
Odd Mage Deck List Guide – Rastakhan – March 2019
If you aren’t trying to Geist and then poly the hadronox, then you are not playing it correctly. If you poly the spider, undatakah is pretty much useless.
The only hope odd mage has against the new taunt is teching in silence which only might hit undatakah. Otherwise its a terrible matchup.
Will Rastakhan's Rumble Shake Up the Wild Meta?
Boomsday I can agree with but Witchwood? How many Even/Odd decks do you encounter on the ladder compared to others?
It was also before my time in hearthstone but I hear TGT was one of the weakest expansions.
Immortal Priest V.2.2
I can see many more advantages to using mass hysteria in quest/deathrattle priest than scream. scream is better in many cases but in a fatigue match up hysteria is actually better.

Hearthstone Developer Insights: Arena Balanace Through Data
Its like a casino. All of it is random and the house controls the win rates when anomalies happen. If you get legendary picks, you hit the jackpot and are more likely to win. If you don’t, it doesn’t mean you are more likely to get them in the future. That is gambler’s fallacy: believing a certain outcome means the opposite will happen (positive or negative) in the future.
The only time that cognitive bias is legit in this game is when opening packs because it is literally made with a pity timer.
Half-Time Scavenger
There is no multiplier to its overkill. You overkill a minion and you gain 3 armor, no matter how much more attack than health.
Splitting Image
Board to board copies actually keep enhancements now after that one patch. Its only when a card goes backward in play zones that enhancements go away. (e.g. zola copy to hand, banker copy to deck)
Arena Treasure Chest
This is probably one of the worst cards I have ever seen. Four man draw two is bad and this is ridiculously slow because it can’t trigger it itself. MAYBE it could be put in a deck that can consistently buff minions in their deck or hand but idk.
Halazzi, the Lynx
So when people say “quest hunter” they aren’t referring to the quest hunter we know now. This card becomes the quest trigger, freeing up an entire deck for whatever else have you. Not my cup of tea but I’m sure it will be worth experimenting.
Flash of Light
This card might be good enough even in a non-healadin deck. cycle heal 4 for two mana is excellent.
I’m just going to say, if Odd paladin continues to be the scourge it is, paying players will begin to stop playing until the rotation. nbd right? Not for Team 5. If their <50% base of players who actually pay nod off for an entire quarter, they are going to take a hit in their overall revenue. At that point, they won't care in the least about the f2p players out there. They survive on the players who actually pay for the game.
I don't think its at that point *yet* but if I and everyone else continue to see HSReplay's stats of highest winrate and 12 different versions of Odd pally all above 60% percent win rate, I'm sure they are going to need to address that at some point. They cannot afford to lose paying players until the rotation.
