      Been mucking around with Druid (as stated previously), which is nearly copy paste from the current Agro druid floating around. At this point I've really only changed 2/3 cards, the rest seem fine.

      I bounce between rank 4 to 8 with this deck, it fluctuates but as long as it can hit rank 5 that's all that matters really.

      I will note that it is very successful in casual games, so if you've hit rank 5 and just need the daily gold, this deck does perform.

      Default Routine - Set to BehaviourRush. I usually don't bother with this, but it does make a good change with Druid of the Saber.

      Considerations:

      Shade of Nax -2
      Harvest Golem +2

      Why - The bot sucks ass at trading appropriately with Shade of Nax. It basically keeps it indefinitely stealthed until either Lethal, or it is required to prevent enemy Lethal. That's kind of garbage since it can be used in many situations prior to that. Harvest Golem is a great tempo card at turn 3 and will be used to trade out 2/3 monsters easily. If you also have Knife Juggler out, you might get a lucky proc.

      -1 Felreaver
      +1 Savage Combatant

      Why - I've been testing this on and off, and have not decided on a final answer. The bot actually plays Savage Combatant very well with the Hero Power. But the power of Fel Reaver dropped on curve is amazing. Subsequently the bot doesn't always go face with Fel Reaver, and ops to trade with it, which unfortunately isn't the main purpose of the card. As a result, some pressure is lost, and likewise your cards from the deck get lost the longer it remains on the board. At this point I still run 2 Fel Reavers, but 2 Savage Combatants would be equally good, if not better vs a Mid Range deck.

      -2 Druid of the Saber
      +2 ???

      Druid of the Saber is also a weak link in the deck (regarding how the bot plays). It doesn't always identify that the charge is more useful to either kill a critical target, or just to get some of that damage up front. Often it will go for the stealth choice because it identifies higher statistics as the priority (much like how the bot always plays Ancient of War as +5 attack, because herp derp). I however can not think of a replaceable 2 drop, and as frustrating as it can be to watch it play the wrong variation, there is still the occasional time where it drops it on charge with savage roar for win condition.

      Best of luck, and if you have any changes you have/would make, speak up. :)

      All good, not exactly all my work. I just had to figure out what wasn't functional and remove it. There might still be a couple of changes to come. Might remove Fel Reaver all together and shove in Ragnaros.

      lothbrok, Sky Golem is actually a very smart idea, good tempo out of that card. Feugen/Stalag are probably less appropriate since games are over quickly with this deck. You either win fast or lose fast. The idea of having both of those cards out and dead isn't how I see the games going.

      Shakran, well I see say, 7 rares, 4 epics and one legend. So it isn't too expensive. The math is all yours.

      I would also love to know this... most of these guides are outdated so would be great to finally follow one that works, is updated, and has the right bot settings.

      Open the DefaultRoutine file, and change BehaviourControl to BehaviourRush. It actually has the instructions in there. You can also adjust at what point does the bot go face with weapons etc. There are many threads/instructions etc out there on how to do this, you just need to go searching for it.

      Just remember when you go back to a control deck to change it again.

      Hi Ahbeng! Tried this deck with fresh installed HB and BehaviourRush. Bot was working for 9 hours and got 47% winrate. Started at rank 14. Gonna try again today and post results.

      Hmmm, to achieve Rank ~5 you ideally want a 55%-65% win ratio. Try adjusting your time of the day that you bot?

      Did enemy have secrets on the board? There are many reasons to not attack face. However if there was nothing around, that sounds dumb yes.

      Either way, not something I know how to fix, put it in support with logs.

      Good man, keep testing new things. That's the true spirit of the botter. ;)

      I live on Oceanic time, so my 'day time' is USA night time, and I play on NA server. So it's natural for me to bot during the day which happens to be server off peak.

      Welp, so far so good. 55% winrate 11/20 matches. Started at rank 18 now rank 16. I only have 1 fel reaver, maybe this is what stopping me from having a higher winrate.

      HeilSatani, in my original write up I did make note that I was considering dropping 1 fel reaver, if not both maybe because the bot generally chooses to not go face with it. So don't worry about that. Consider dropping both Fel Reavers, for 1 more Savage Combatant, and the Druid Legendary, uhh, Centaurus or something? Try that lay out. It will give an extra layer of defense.
