Same deck for each class every game, no variation.
On top of every deck has good drew and more rng then ever, seems frustrating to play. Hunter seems most dumb deck ever faced, not to mention everytime i face one they seem to have best muligan ever
Create your own decks to challenge the meta.
I do, and I win a lot.

im not saying you cant, i do. im saying i just face same ones over and over
I just think that if more people would play with their own decks, then the meta will break out of this mold.

Unfortunately the majority of players put winning above all else and the best way to win is to use the most refined decks.
Good draw is typically a sign of a well built deck. A lot of the time you’ll think “damn draw giving them that, so lucky” but if you could see the rest of their deck you’d see that 3/4 of their possible draws are bad for you.
The pure rng stuff has got crazier over the years but they do at least do a reasonable job of nerfing any rng deck to the point where it’s not competitive. I love playing casual clown fiesta decks but it has always felt dumb when they become popular in ranked and you esentially roll a dice, Yogg Druid being the apex of annoyance on that front.
Your example of Hunter having the best mulligan every time, but if you look at their deck, more than 2/3’s of it costs 2 mana or less. It’s actually unlucky if they have a bad mulligan, that’s the way it’s designed. The down side being that if you stabilize before they get in lethal range then you’ll out value them very quickly.
Large numbers of people using the same decks is the nature of CCGs. I would bet that the majority of players doesn’t even tech their decks, they just copy whatever code and never put one single second in considering what they should change.
I stopped worrying about what other people play. It’s out of my control. It’s not something I can act on.
However, deck building is only part of the skill. Some people are great at piloting the decks but completely oblivious about how to build them. Others are super smart at changing their decks for the local meta they are finding but can’t come up with original decks. If CCGs was only for deck builders, then we would have a very small population in the game and that would be bad. Just let others enjoy the game the way they prefer.
Why, for instance, don’t people use Elemental synergy in Shaman? It’s extremely powerful. You don’t even need removals outside of Dunk Tanks, a few weapons, Tidal Waves and the stray spells you discover.
I kill all the meta decks with my Elemental Shaman. I win all the more easily because people don’t expect to face such a deck.
The fun in Hearthstone is experimenting with new builds, even if it’s something that was a recipe deck and you changed several cards in it, it can and will feel vastly different.
I’m at Diamond Rank. Also, I haven’t offended you or anything. Why do you come to attack me?
Are the toxic users here all 12 years old, or what? Why is it so hard to be polite? What kind of troglodytes does this game attract?
I have been playing the game since its release. I know exactly how it works

“hijacked this from a streamer”…You’d wish…
Also the game attracts the kind of troglodytes that think they are breaking the meta at diamond level with a copy pasted deck that they think they built.
“I have been playing the game since its release. I know exactly how it works”
And still rank diamond…You showed us how you broke the meta.

Yes, it was copy pasted from within my copy of Hearthstone.
Looks like you don’t care to be civil.
Too bad.This is a discussion forum. What’s the point of discussing things if people just thoughtlessly attack one another?
If you think such tone of posting is conductive towards a healthy environment, then no, it isn’t.
In my Elemental deck I cut one Shattered Rumbler( too situational) for Alexstrasza.
Potential swaps for greater versatility in Elemental Shaman:
Swap Primordial Studies for Guidance
Swap Doonhammer for Runic Carvings.
