I can’t let you say that, you need to flip so many pages, and scroll the decklist like kilometers up and down.
Too. Much. Work!
Wanderer people hear my call

You could just search… which is a lot easier than regular deck building imo.

I gathered a bunch of data about Wanderer matchups and the ridiculous shit they pulled. It taught me a lot about the way games play out, and the way their decks have to be constructed to succeed.
I still hate them, but a lot of their victories come from playing conservatively in order to keep low cost tempo cards in hand to refill the board after you clear it.
Removal cards in the game are tuned to handle specific stat blocks of minions, and wanderer completely tosses those tweaks out. That means your removal has less value, and that if they can replenish an empty board with slightly buffed minions, or throw a hasty meatboi on the table to get that last chunk of health, they’ll come out on top.
I still hate the deck, and it has an abnormally high winrate (There wouldn’t be as many players in S playing it if that wasn’t the case), but I no longer think it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to the game.

Did you use the list on the power rankings?
;p
Nope, my own brew. I rarely netdeck, I mostly use such lists as an inspiration. And also I have a problem with reading Wanderer lists 
The list I’m speaking of is here:

Wanderer has the same problem as old Variax, It is perfectly fine if played on curve but it gets out of hand if when it gets ramped. Possible solutions include the Variax treatment i.e. increasing its cost (will quite possibly kill Wanderer for factions without ramp), Nerfing its stats, and simply making it unrampable. I personally would prefer the last option but I doubt that will happen.
As for countering Wanderer there are actually quite a few ways to do that including Artifact decks (One-woman army Reva), Aggro and Burn decks, Decks with better lategame than Wanderer that can reliably achieve said lategame (Fault) and lastly decks that can Snowball/out Tempo Wanderer (the only decks I’m aware of that reliably do this are Pantheran Vet and Arcanyst decks). The main problem is if you can’t abuse one of Wanderer’s weaknesses (which almost every midrange deck in the game cannot do) he will just steamroll you with Statsticks.

Must feel awful when you can see duelyst grow amiright?
I am always happy to see new people… even when they play meta decks.

Add Midrange Faie to the list, it’s such a powerful but incredibly high skill deck, imo it’s actually better than Fault but requires so much skill that the normal player should stick to fault.
look into my eyes and explain why you don’t like me.

I was trying to list decks that are well known enough or those which I have personally tested. Since I don’t play Midrange Faie nor do I see it on the Ladder as often as Aggro Reva I cannot comment on its strength.

There was a single day where it was popular but because it was so high skill they couldn’t win with it.
Solafid took it to S1 awhile back.
IIRC that was quite some while ago, right after ToM came out. Lots of things have changed since then; cards have been nerfed, Unrotation, the Meta has changed completely. I am quite sure that midrange Faie is no longer one of the top decks.
A lot has changed but the deck is just as powerful, it was never meta because too little people played it but it’s one of if not the strongest deck if you can play it correctly.
I recall rather frequently running into it on the ladder upon ToM’s release, but I haven’t seen it in a long time which leads me to believe it isn’t what it once was.

I already stated the reason, it’s knowm to be a high skill deck. People would’ve net decked it because it was the best deck, unknowing of how much skill it required and after a few games dropping it because they lost too much.
I don’t know enough to say whether wanderer is op or not. It doesn’t seem particularly fun to me, but to each his own. I understand its popularity though. It’s effective and, by far the easiest trial. I’ll admit, when it comes out, I do get the urge to concede. Hopefully, after more experience and a larger collection, it won’t cause me as much trouble.
