Now that I'm rank 5 I'm just having heaps of fun with my BFF Jaraxxus
I even have a positive record so far! *cough* 3-2 *cough*
Pyros is not essential, though as I stated she is powerful. Ultimately she's a value minion. You can get away with all sorts of replacements. Thalnos isn't bad, though you don't really need spell damage as much as you'd think. You could also try Cairne, Echo of Medivh, a Babbling Book... whatever your heart desires. That's one of the nice things about Reno decks... they're super customizable so missing a single card won't break them. Hell, you could tech in a Golakka Crawler if you want.
Oh god, no. I would never recommend just laddering with the Malygos list. But high level Wild has such a small population that you will run into the same people 4-5 times in a row. It's an extremely targeted list focused on doing one thing really well, and that thing is punishing slower decks.I built the deck with one change (Pyros -> Bloodmage, and then Bloodmage -> Babbling Book) and was climbing really easily. One game I pulled off the duplicate on Kazakus, then had Brann for Kazakus 2 and Kazakus 3. The hardest part about 5 Kazakus potions is finding the hand size for them all.
Also, I was able to outvalue a Jade Druid thanks to Nzoth reviving two Sylvani.
The Malygos list seems, uh... well, I played it and immediately faced a pirate warrior. Seems non-ideal for climbing, but I like it as a high level counterpick deck.
Wild Freeze and 4-crab Standard Mid Hunter. I really like Renolock, Midrange Anyfin decks (including Secret Palafin) and had a great time with Combo Druid but of course that one was too good to last in Standard. I keep coming back to Freeze, though - the skill ceiling is enormous and even after playing the deck for months I find myself pulling off new and exciting lines every season. First I learned to play around Loatheb where possible, then secret hate, then all the Kobold kills, then I got better at chipping people down to OTK range, then I learned the 'new plan' against Pirate Warrior, and the whole time I got steadily better at the delicate combo machine the deck represents. I understand that some people find playing against Freeze to be boring, so I try not to main the deck too much, but I find it to be a fun and rewarding deck to pilot.Do you guys have decks that you love love love?

Also, with mid Hunter I get to play absurd value minions. Have you read Savannah Highmane? That thing is bonkers.
Combo Druid was a beautiful combo midrange deck where you needed to be able to pivot from board control to a burst kill at a moment's notice. Mid Hunter has some of the same feeling, especially in Wild, but I always thought that was a useful HS skill in general and those two decks rewarded being good at knowing when to pivot.
I also like having golden cards. I'm a magpie at heart, but it makes the boards less monotonous to look at.
PS: I love mid Hunter so much I recently finished golding out my Wild list a week or two ago, after working towards it for about 5-6 months. It's great to finally be done with the quest.
Rank 5, I was too busy for the legend grind and didn't want to try for top 64 like a lot of people were. Wild definitely felt bigger than usual, especially at 5-L.I didn't really play much HS this month, but I did still feel obliged to get to Rank 5 in Wild. Playing against Quest Rogue so much really soured me on Standard, so I became the scourge of Wild: Pirate Warrior. I actually enjoy piloting it, far more than something like Aggro Druid.
Been slowly opening Ungoro pack after pack before I craft my next Legendary.
How'd you Wild dedicated players do this month?
Wait, Arena is multi-class now?
Agree, this was a blast!It's a special Halloween event, on for a few more days. It's been lots of fun.
Amplive just hit Legend with a build that's really strong against all the Paladins on ladder. I think it looks good but don't have Geddon.My favorite Wild deck is in the dumpster. Look at those Reno Mage matchups. Any time I queue against Warlock it's just misery.
