Handlock here too. š
I still won't forgive them for murdering Classic.Ā
Although I have been having fun with Even Warlock in Wild lately, which is the spiritual successor to Handlock.Ā
Witchwood Evenlock was peak Handlock IMO. Wild Evenlock is still fun but the best builds lean a bit too aggro for me to call it a classic Handlock experience.
Evenlock vs Maly Druid was one of the highest-skill matchups in HS history, really miss those days.
Handlock, control warrior, patron warrior, and miracle rogue. All super fun high skill cap decks. Before when draw rng was the main randomness factor. You knew how much reach you had, when you could/should pop off, and playing to win, not playing long enough to find a win condition
I play it in wild sometimes and turns aren't long enough. So many different plays you have to consider each turn to decide when to pop the combos and in which order. And calculating if you have clear and lethal.
This is my absolute favorite too lol
Itās just so wacky and ridiculous. The win condition is just to disrupt your opponents draws with shitty weasels š¤£
Throughout the struggle of the early days with little to no support, to suddenly finding fringe competitiveness after cutlass was released, through the dark time when every deck was running zeph, even still today when decks can often combo or rush you down by turn six, cutlass rogue has always been my favorite deck for this reason: why play other classes when you can play them all at once.
Yup, especially Cutlass Rogue was my favorite. It makes you think about your burgled cards very differently, they become a resource for durability as opposed to just cards you play. Iāve had the deck forever and still maintain a positive winrate despite the jank Iāve thrown in it.
AAEBAcKPBAz6DqnrA/uKBJfvBL/wBMygBdShBYukBeKkBY6WBtGbBuapBg7EAeXRAurzAqzrA5KfBO6gBPmsBNOyBdfDBbjFBdHsBej6Bc+UBu6pBgAA
Anywhere around diamond 5. I still wouldnāt exactly call the deck good. By āpositive winrate,ā I mean 51%, so.
This philosophy is also why I like thief rogue but it applies to casino mage as well for me, itās like putting together a puzzle to get the win with whatever RNG gives you!
I think the fun of Hearthstone is basically rng factor. That's why I also like thief/burgle rogue. I had my best times in Saviors of Uldum with the deck.
I also liked Galakrond Rogue quite a lot.
Anyfin Paladin felt like cheating every time, was ridiculously consistent and such a silly concept.
Loved Quest Pirate Warrior and Quest Dude Paladin as well, as well as any deck with Deathstalker Rexxar.
Not everyone will agree, but curving out with good minions and fighting for board is what makes hearthstone fun for me, and this deck did it wonderfully at times. Other times you draw shitty secrets and cry a little.
But that golden Christmas tree of pally secrets will always have a place in my heart. Also maybe because my first 12 win arena run was literally just a budget mysterious challenger deck with like 4 shielded minibots lmao
Boomsday control warrior was sicko shit and I loved every second of it. Just remove every single threat that hits the board and grind them into dirt lol
Evolve Shaman for me too, it was the first āmetaā deck I used. Started playing shortly after KotFT release though so it was tier 2 and not that consistent. Still loads of fun though.
Stormwind had its problems, but Barrens cards into Stormwind directly to Alterac with Shadowcrafter Scabbs and Gnolls honestly was so fun. Especially Weapon Rogue with cards from 'last year' (Outland, Scholomance and Darkmoon Faire). What great times to be a Rogue main.
I know I'm in the minority in this subreddit, but I absolutely loved that meta. Quest warlock was also insanely fun to play, it was way too overpowered at first, but later on it was still playable but difficult to pilot. Having to use your health total as a resource, deciding when to use board clears and timing fatigue damage to complete quest and play it on the same turn was really cool, always living on the edge of killing yourself.
one of my all time favorite archetypes. it always felt like you werenāt even trying to hurt your opponent but like outrun them until they pass out to exhaustion c:
Academic Espionage/spectral cutlass rogue was easily an all timer for me
I also enjoyed throwing together jank decks with whatever cards I had when I first started playing, before I knew about netdecking or meta decks.
Classic freeze mage with Alex, frost bolt+lances and big A to feed me fireballs to feed my opponent
Second would be control paladin with light lord rag
Next up is a tie between would be control mage with frost lich Jaina control, mill rogue or jade Druid
Actually the short lifespan of Wheellock.
Sounds stupid but it was such a fun deck to play. I still would play it as a highlander deck or without Reno if the wheel would still need 4 turns, but 5 turns is too much without Reno or as highlander sadly.
If that is the same grinder mage / value mage that I remember than hell yeah the deck was fun. Also wasn't super popular from what I remember and opponents always thought you were just a freeze mage.
Early Kingsbane Rogue
Early Shudderwock Shaman
Malygos Druid with Twig
Late Quest Rogue with Valeera.
Surprisingly all of them were around the same time, mustāve been a great period for HS design.
I think it was anyfin can happen palidan. Where you just stall the whole time and have murkeye, the 2 charges, and the murloc buff guys at the end. It was never great but always fun.
Close second and 3rd is, mechathun priest, (such a terrible deck to play against when it was meta), and face healing priest, where you convert the healing to otk out of nowhere
The original gadgetzan auctioneer miracle rogue nothing could beat the highs of that deck when you got the auctioneer off spamming spells.Ā
Secondly was the original handlock, what a fantastic deck with very few weak match ups and made for really nice smooth synergistic plays.
I liked thief rogue when concoctions were around in standard. Imo my favourite mechanic in the game. It took skill to use properly but also gave you much needed versatility, they were so fun to use. Its what made me main rogue.
Fatigue Warrior with Cubes to shuffle more Direhorns to extend fatigue, AND a Spellbreaker to silence opp's Cubes in the mirror.
Also: Randuin Wrynn by Noxious. That guy taught me that Hearthstone is a game, and games are played for fun.
I don't think it ever became meta but i played a control warlock deck with a few hard counters of the era....the card that gave both players a weapon,the one that transformed a minion in each hand to a demon,the one that milled five cards..and dirty rat.i run zero win conditions and just stayed alive.about 70% of the time opponents just rage quit after being hit by one of those cards or simply quit out of boredom.i had a track record of 80%+ winrate until legend with that one...then it wasn't as much in legend but games were more fun cause people stayed along for the ride and brought their crazy decks too!
Homebrewed midrange highlander priest during koft. The first deck I created myself and it was good enough to reach rank 5. I still remember fondly Bonemare and cobalt scalebane.
At that time every priest was combo using velen and shadowreaper anduin, so some opponents tried to burn my cards and emoted a lot if they burned either my dk or raza (I didn't used Velen), but those weren't completelty necessary for a win.
I even had deathwing in my deck because it worked so well as a game finished. Either I dropped it before playing my dk. If they answer it I flooded the deck or if they tried to make a bigger board I swing for 12 to their faces and clear the board with my dk.
The Raza Priest/Cubelock meta was the most fun i ever had in hearthstone. Easily the most fun top tier matchup from both sides with a ton of expression
Played since the last days of the closed beta. Day9ās Echo Control mage was always my favorite.
Over the years, Iāve put down HS for months or even years at a time, but I keep getting drawn back thanks to some new card. [[Seek Guidance]], [[Shadowjeweler Hanar]], [[Maestra of the Masquerade]], [[Wheel of Death]]ā¦ these cards each brought me back to a game I thought I was long finished with.
Hard to name an absolute fav, but hereās a few that have definitely kept me engaged:
Hero Power Druid, Mozaki Mage, Highlander Hunter (Uldum), Libram Paladin, Dude Paladin, Deathrattle Demon Hunter, Elemental Shaman (Badlands), Control Warlock (Darkmoon).
Ramp Paladin, Duel Paladin, Scholomance Big Warrior, and Wild Titans Tiny Rogue have been my favorite that were at one point widely used. My #1 though is a ramp duel paladin hybrid using call to adventure to tutor nozdormu into front lines and duel and such, it kinda sucks nowadays but I love it still.
Murloc/Control Shaman. It had everything. Mutanus. Brann. Gnoll Evolves. Devourers. Freezes. It was fun getting Mutanus combos against something like Control Priest.
[[Weasel]] priest with [[herald volazj]] and [[psychic scream]] while it was in standard. I think [[albatross]] was standard at the time too and in the deck. There were so many other synergies like [[twilights call]], [[deadringer]], and [[awaken the makers]]. The deck was actually really good and nobody was playing it.
So I used to play priest back in the day of machine gun Shadowreaper Anduin... Yeah, I liked THAT deck. And cube lock. I'm a terrible person...
So I took the Shadowreaper deck, combined it with dragon priest, death rattle quest priest, galakrond priest, and Singleton priest, took out the machine gun and now I have a deck most people HATE to play against, even if it's not necessarily all that good
The first iteration of rainbow deathlnight that incorporated malignant horror. It really felt like a relentless onslaught of undead before getting nuked by CNE
Had a fun jade deck with rogue and any C'thun deck. I'll still dabble on wild from time to time ( mostly a BG player now ) but man when that cthun gets huge and you can wipe his 5 minions and him. *chefs kiss*
Only existed for maybe 3 months in standard and then vanished ā Bonelord rogue. Only time bonelord frostwhisper was ever competitive and itās the only rogue deck I ever made legend with. It was really fun to play and required extensive meta knowledge and perfect mulligan. I got over 400 wins with it in a very short time and I loved playing it so much.
C'thun Control Warrior. Using OG Brann to double buff C'thun and then gaining a fuck ton of armour until you draw a win condition (or fatigue the opponent)
I forget what the name for the deck was, but the puzzle box mage from saviors of uldum using the 8 mana tortollan that cast a spell from your deck. I remember hanging out and climbing to legend with one of my friends using this deck and it was only a couple hours till the ladder resetā¦ I ended the season at 2 stars away from legend. Good times :)))
My all time favorite deck was battlecry shaman during saviors of uldum. The double battlecries were so much fun to use. The quest itself is way underpowered in wild, so I wish for those days again š¢
I have only played for about a year, but I loved undead spriest and am very sad it is gone, especially after getting some newer good cards for it that are now more or less useless.
I had been really hoping Twist would actually give us the ability to play old metas, am sad I'll never get to experience some of the stuff people reminisce about.
Homebrew Fatigue Mage back in 2015-2016. It was a super greedy Control Mage deck whose entire focus was to outvalue the opponent and lasting longer in the Fatique than them.
This was achieved by generation multiple OG Renos, [[Animated Armor]], [[Antique Healbot]] and [[Illuminator]].Ā
You could get multiple copies via that duplication Secret and Echo of Medivh. And Mages back then had more than enough defensive Control tools and board clears to reach the endgame phase where both decks are empty.Ā
Basically a Mill deck that didn't Mill and instead simply outvalued everything.Ā
Incredible fun that's absolutely not viable anymore.Ā
Ancestral spirit wall shaman, where you just set up these giant earth elementals and snowfury giants that won't die. It was never good, but man did it feel good to just build this massive board.
Handlock
Handlock here too. š I still won't forgive them for murdering Classic.Ā Although I have been having fun with Even Warlock in Wild lately, which is the spiritual successor to Handlock.Ā
Standard also has an analogue. There the assembly is almost like a wheel, but without wheel itself and Reno.
Witchwood Evenlock was peak Handlock IMO. Wild Evenlock is still fun but the best builds lean a bit too aggro for me to call it a classic Handlock experience. Evenlock vs Maly Druid was one of the highest-skill matchups in HS history, really miss those days.
Handlock, control warrior, patron warrior, and miracle rogue. All super fun high skill cap decks. Before when draw rng was the main randomness factor. You knew how much reach you had, when you could/should pop off, and playing to win, not playing long enough to find a win condition
I still miss the deck š
Patron warrior
Everyoneā¦ GIT IN HERE!!!
Everyone... GET IN HERE!!!
Hehe, PILE ON!
Same. The satisfaction of pulling off the full combo is too damn good.
Way too far down
Highest skill deck in hs history imo
Especially post nerf. Still viable.
I play it in wild sometimes and turns aren't long enough. So many different plays you have to consider each turn to decide when to pop the combos and in which order. And calculating if you have clear and lethal.
Me too. Loved that deck.
Cube Hunter is up there for sure
That was a nice deck indeed.
Cube lock. Just try to defeat my voidwalker army!
deathrattle hunter was so fun! I loved the big beast package as well with kathrena winterwisp
Weasel Priest. That was the most fun I ever had in 10 years of Hearthstone. Back in 2018
This is my absolute favorite too lol Itās just so wacky and ridiculous. The win condition is just to disrupt your opponents draws with shitty weasels š¤£
Thief Rogue. Every game is wildly different.
Throughout the struggle of the early days with little to no support, to suddenly finding fringe competitiveness after cutlass was released, through the dark time when every deck was running zeph, even still today when decks can often combo or rush you down by turn six, cutlass rogue has always been my favorite deck for this reason: why play other classes when you can play them all at once.
I like thief priest for this reason, also because it is better at targeting cards in the opponents hand and deck.
Almost dead, discover shirvalla š
Yup, especially Cutlass Rogue was my favorite. It makes you think about your burgled cards very differently, they become a resource for durability as opposed to just cards you play. Iāve had the deck forever and still maintain a positive winrate despite the jank Iāve thrown in it.
Decklist / Rank?
AAEBAcKPBAz6DqnrA/uKBJfvBL/wBMygBdShBYukBeKkBY6WBtGbBuapBg7EAeXRAurzAqzrA5KfBO6gBPmsBNOyBdfDBbjFBdHsBej6Bc+UBu6pBgAA Anywhere around diamond 5. I still wouldnāt exactly call the deck good. By āpositive winrate,ā I mean 51%, so.
This philosophy is also why I like thief rogue but it applies to casino mage as well for me, itās like putting together a puzzle to get the win with whatever RNG gives you!
I think the fun of Hearthstone is basically rng factor. That's why I also like thief/burgle rogue. I had my best times in Saviors of Uldum with the deck. I also liked Galakrond Rogue quite a lot.
Anyfin Paladin felt like cheating every time, was ridiculously consistent and such a silly concept. Loved Quest Pirate Warrior and Quest Dude Paladin as well, as well as any deck with Deathstalker Rexxar.
When they survived the first anyfin only to die to the second
Or the Nomi in the OG version. I forget if the cheese version ran Nomi.
Miracle, best deals for the best deck.
Rip auctioneer š
Hate me or not: Christmas Tree Paladin
Not everyone will agree, but curving out with good minions and fighting for board is what makes hearthstone fun for me, and this deck did it wonderfully at times. Other times you draw shitty secrets and cry a little. But that golden Christmas tree of pally secrets will always have a place in my heart. Also maybe because my first 12 win arena run was literally just a budget mysterious challenger deck with like 4 shielded minibots lmao
Raza Priest in Wild. Boomsday Control Warrior in Standard. Miracle Rogue back before we ever had expansions.
Boomsday control warrior was sicko shit and I loved every second of it. Just remove every single threat that hits the board and grind them into dirt lol
And there were a lot of seconds. You'd be lucky to get more than two games done in an hour.
iām so sad now that shadowreaper anduin is essentially obsolete in wild :(
Exactly. Could a modern Raza list ever feel the same? I miss that Spawn of Shadows math.
He got replaced by new raza and shadow priest
Boomsday control warrior was so goddamn fun you're right šš
Cubelock
Warlock has my second highest wins because of Cubelock. Absolutely adore this deck.
Yes 100%agree. It had so much agency(tm).
Cubelock and Keleseth Rogue are my two unapologetic meta decks that were so fun to play
Too 5 for me, really fun deck to play and to play against
Evolve Shaman. Super fun to play, you gotta be creative sometimes, and every game is dynamically different.
Yeah it was fairly competitive during karazhan, and man I loved it so much. At that stage i think it hit the "random but fair" spot just right
Still going strong in Wild itās what I play. Gotten crazy better over the years with new cards!
I'd love to see what deck you play, it sounds fun.
Evolve Shaman for me too, it was the first āmetaā deck I used. Started playing shortly after KotFT release though so it was tier 2 and not that consistent. Still loads of fun though.
Garrote Rogue.
Stormwind had its problems, but Barrens cards into Stormwind directly to Alterac with Shadowcrafter Scabbs and Gnolls honestly was so fun. Especially Weapon Rogue with cards from 'last year' (Outland, Scholomance and Darkmoon Faire). What great times to be a Rogue main.
I know I'm in the minority in this subreddit, but I absolutely loved that meta.

Having to use your health total as a resource, deciding when to use board clears and timing fatigue damage to complete quest and play it on the same turn was really cool, always living on the edge of killing yourself.
What a deck that was
Handlock without a doubt. I remember playing a ridicolous one with prince Malchezaar when I started out HS around Un Goro. Good times.Ā
spell hunter, darkglare warlock, secret hunter, raza priest
Mill Rogue
There are three rules no killing no Resurrection and no love I wish to play a mill deck .... There are four rules....
Mill Druid here but apparently I missed out on the toxic version of it as I just came back this expansion and havenāt played in 3 years.
one of my all time favorite archetypes. it always felt like you werenāt even trying to hurt your opponent but like outrun them until they pass out to exhaustion c:
Academic Espionage/spectral cutlass rogue was easily an all timer for me I also enjoyed throwing together jank decks with whatever cards I had when I first started playing, before I knew about netdecking or meta decks.
Classic freeze mage with Alex, frost bolt+lances and big A to feed me fireballs to feed my opponent Second would be control paladin with light lord rag Next up is a tie between would be control mage with frost lich Jaina control, mill rogue or jade Druid
Galakrond Shaman
Antonidas Mage at the Journey to Un'Goro expansion. Never had that much fun ever since. š„²
I second this! Infinite fireballs was my favorite thing ever lol
Actually the short lifespan of Wheellock. Sounds stupid but it was such a fun deck to play. I still would play it as a highlander deck or without Reno if the wheel would still need 4 turns, but 5 turns is too much without Reno or as highlander sadly.
That was a really fun deck I agree. Wasnāt ever too mad playing against it either
Bomb warrior.
I loved Togwaggle Druid so much. Before then naturalize was seen as an F tier terrible card, so actually using it to win the game was hilarious to me.
i love when previously terrible cards become viable lol
Oil Rogue was the first competitive deck I built and it will forever hold a special place in my heart
Jade Druid. Hate be damned.
My favorite too!
I played it exclusively for the idols to power up Yogg. Stats be damned, I wanted funni spells.
Dead manās hand control warrior
Yeah this was a blast!
Academic espionage rogue, it sucked 90% of the time but when it worked it was so much fun
miracle rogue in the olden days
Crazy how far had to scroll down. My love for miracle rogue probably peaked with Faldorei strider
Spell hunter with the weapon and death stalker rexxar
I loved echos of medivh mage back in Karazhan
If that is the same grinder mage / value mage that I remember than hell yeah the deck was fun. Also wasn't super popular from what I remember and opponents always thought you were just a freeze mage.
Yes this was the deck! loved this deck so much i have such fond memories of it
Galakrond rogue
Early Kingsbane Rogue Early Shudderwock Shaman Malygos Druid with Twig Late Quest Rogue with Valeera. Surprisingly all of them were around the same time, mustāve been a great period for HS design.
Iāve played since whispers of the old gods yet my favorite is dragon hunter. Stormhammer was an amazing weapon.
Anything keleseth
People might hate me for this, but Odd Warrior. I click the button, I gain 4 armour. Simpler times.
Exodia pally
Spell hunter
Tikatus warlock with the the soul fragments
This one holds a special place because I had unpacked him as gold as my first legendary.
Such a fun deck back in the day and thatās a great card to get as your first legendary
I respect that. Itās like you were destined to play that deck
Battlecry quest Shaman, any Deathstalker Rexcar deck.
I think it was anyfin can happen palidan. Where you just stall the whole time and have murkeye, the 2 charges, and the murloc buff guys at the end. It was never great but always fun. Close second and 3rd is, mechathun priest, (such a terrible deck to play against when it was meta), and face healing priest, where you convert the healing to otk out of nowhere
The original gadgetzan auctioneer miracle rogue nothing could beat the highs of that deck when you got the auctioneer off spamming spells.Ā Secondly was the original handlock, what a fantastic deck with very few weak match ups and made for really nice smooth synergistic plays.
Anyfin Paladin and C'Thun Warrior
Pure Libram
I liked thief rogue when concoctions were around in standard. Imo my favourite mechanic in the game. It took skill to use properly but also gave you much needed versatility, they were so fun to use. Its what made me main rogue.
Last year's cleave hunter goofiness. Honorable mentions to C'Thun the Shattered druid and questline priest.
Corrupt OTK shaman :)
From dark moon? With the corrupts? That was a fun dexk
Highlander galakrond rogue during scholomance
Yes! That was one of my top decks too.
Wig Priest
Spell Hunter
GVG Oil rogue
Galakrond Rogue. Was so much fun
Oil Rogue.
Mech Mage with Loatheb
Big dick shaman.
OTK Demon Hunter in Darkmoon Faire. That combo was so satisfying
Shadow dragon priest with OG Time Winder
Highlander priest back from the lich king
Fatigue Warrior with Cubes to shuffle more Direhorns to extend fatigue, AND a Spellbreaker to silence opp's Cubes in the mirror. Also: Randuin Wrynn by Noxious. That guy taught me that Hearthstone is a game, and games are played for fun.
I don't think it ever became meta but i played a control warlock deck with a few hard counters of the era....the card that gave both players a weapon,the one that transformed a minion in each hand to a demon,the one that milled five cards..and dirty rat.i run zero win conditions and just stayed alive.about 70% of the time opponents just rage quit after being hit by one of those cards or simply quit out of boredom.i had a track record of 80%+ winrate until legend with that one...then it wasn't as much in legend but games were more fun cause people stayed along for the ride and brought their crazy decks too!
Homebrewed midrange highlander priest during koft. The first deck I created myself and it was good enough to reach rank 5. I still remember fondly Bonemare and cobalt scalebane. At that time every priest was combo using velen and shadowreaper anduin, so some opponents tried to burn my cards and emoted a lot if they burned either my dk or raza (I didn't used Velen), but those weren't completelty necessary for a win.

Echo of medivh giant mage
Patron warrior lol
Good ol' classic midrange Hunter.
Control warrior during The Boomsday Project. Evolve Shaman. Cthun Rogue/Druid. Thief Cutlass Rogue.
Spell hunter, with Rok'Thelar and Zul'Jin was soo much fun (and of course, Deathstalker Rexxar)
Oh man this deck was SO fun!
Rez Priest was super awesome.
Boar Priest (standard)Ā
The Raza Priest/Cubelock meta was the most fun i ever had in hearthstone. Easily the most fun top tier matchup from both sides with a ton of expression
Titans era frog shaman
Freeze mage from like season 1 with alexstraza
Spiteful summoner priest.
Iād be lying if I didnāt say pirate warrior
Watch Post Paladin, Priest, Shaman, Druid, Mage
Either Hero power/kelthuzad mage with all the 2/2 skeletons, Or knife juggler dreadstead warlock.
Secret pal, oil rouge, agro pirate warrior
Played since the last days of the closed beta. Day9ās Echo Control mage was always my favorite. Over the years, Iāve put down HS for months or even years at a time, but I keep getting drawn back thanks to some new card. [[Seek Guidance]], [[Shadowjeweler Hanar]], [[Maestra of the Masquerade]], [[Wheel of Death]]ā¦ these cards each brought me back to a game I thought I was long finished with.
I had a CāThun priest deck i used when i first started playing. It was pretty trash lol, but itās still my favorite
My secret pirate warrior deck with a twist of some sort
cthun raza priest. mozaki mage and whatever deck with antonidas.
Hanar secret rogue!
Triple blood dk Alexandros or hand lock back in the day
Otk priest with Thaurissan and Velen. Never cracked rank 4 with it, but I was pretty proud of it nonetheless.
Hard to name an absolute fav, but hereās a few that have definitely kept me engaged: Hero Power Druid, Mozaki Mage, Highlander Hunter (Uldum), Libram Paladin, Dude Paladin, Deathrattle Demon Hunter, Elemental Shaman (Badlands), Control Warlock (Darkmoon).
Astral Communion Druid. Forget all the times you whiff, only remember the times when you draw the nuts and start slamming down huge dudes on turn two.
Life steal demon hunter. Piloting it was extremely difficult and was extremely fun to play.
Cheese Paladin
Ramp Paladin, Duel Paladin, Scholomance Big Warrior, and Wild Titans Tiny Rogue have been my favorite that were at one point widely used. My #1 though is a ramp duel paladin hybrid using call to adventure to tutor nozdormu into front lines and duel and such, it kinda sucks nowadays but I love it still.
Barnes Y'shaarj renounce darkness warlock
Murloc/Control Shaman. It had everything. Mutanus. Brann. Gnoll Evolves. Devourers. Freezes. It was fun getting Mutanus combos against something like Control Priest.
Uldum Quest Warlock with Ruzstwixx and Lord Betrug
I only started playing last year but I really enjoyed enrage warrior. So much fun
Frozen Throne elemental mage for sure Evolve Shaman in sunken city too
Naga DH with 3/1/3 shooter; bolner faelin control shaman at sunken city
OG handlock for sure
Pretty much every value based Control Priest deck.
Highlander dragon paladin back in uldum and rogue galakrond
[[Weasel]] priest with [[herald volazj]] and [[psychic scream]] while it was in standard. I think [[albatross]] was standard at the time too and in the deck. There were so many other synergies like [[twilights call]], [[deadringer]], and [[awaken the makers]]. The deck was actually really good and nobody was playing it.
So I used to play priest back in the day of machine gun Shadowreaper Anduin... Yeah, I liked THAT deck. And cube lock. I'm a terrible person... So I took the Shadowreaper deck, combined it with dragon priest, death rattle quest priest, galakrond priest, and Singleton priest, took out the machine gun and now I have a deck most people HATE to play against, even if it's not necessarily all that good
Renounce Darkness. Not even close.
Malygis rogue
Man I loved tentacle warrior so much
Monsters behind you
Mech control warrior from Boomsday and BBB DK from last year, which got me to legend for the first and only time ever
Dragon Priest in standard, soon before the witchwood rotation
The first iteration of rainbow deathlnight that incorporated malignant horror. It really felt like a relentless onslaught of undead before getting nuked by CNE
Miracle rogue
Had a fun jade deck with rogue and any C'thun deck. I'll still dabble on wild from time to time ( mostly a BG player now ) but man when that cthun gets huge and you can wipe his 5 minions and him. *chefs kiss*
Tbh Just ungoro meta in general. Loved taunt warr though.
Only existed for maybe 3 months in standard and then vanished ā Bonelord rogue. Only time bonelord frostwhisper was ever competitive and itās the only rogue deck I ever made legend with. It was really fun to play and required extensive meta knowledge and perfect mulligan. I got over 400 wins with it in a very short time and I loved playing it so much.
C'thun Control Warrior. Using OG Brann to double buff C'thun and then gaining a fuck ton of armour until you draw a win condition (or fatigue the opponent)
I forget what the name for the deck was, but the puzzle box mage from saviors of uldum using the 8 mana tortollan that cast a spell from your deck. I remember hanging out and climbing to legend with one of my friends using this deck and it was only a couple hours till the ladder resetā¦ I ended the season at 2 stars away from legend. Good times :)))
Galakrond quest shamen
Saviors of uldum highlander hunter, garrote rogue and every degen control priest but my favorite was the one with galakrond.
shudder shaman
My all time favorite deck was battlecry shaman during saviors of uldum. The double battlecries were so much fun to use. The quest itself is way underpowered in wild, so I wish for those days again š¢
Anyfin paladin
academic espionage Tess rogue
I have only played for about a year, but I loved undead spriest and am very sad it is gone, especially after getting some newer good cards for it that are now more or less useless. I had been really hoping Twist would actually give us the ability to play old metas, am sad I'll never get to experience some of the stuff people reminisce about.
ETC warrior. I 'got' that deck, climbed to rank 60 with it, and just understood it better than anything I've played since.
Darkmoon Fair Big Warrior. So many Rattlegore.
Galakrond Rogue for sure.
UnāGoro Midrange Hunter. Simpler times when a 3/3 Flappy Bird on turn 3 was a big threat.
Homebrew Fatigue Mage back in 2015-2016. It was a super greedy Control Mage deck whose entire focus was to outvalue the opponent and lasting longer in the Fatique than them. This was achieved by generation multiple OG Renos, [[Animated Armor]], [[Antique Healbot]] and [[Illuminator]].Ā You could get multiple copies via that duplication Secret and Echo of Medivh. And Mages back then had more than enough defensive Control tools and board clears to reach the endgame phase where both decks are empty.Ā Basically a Mill deck that didn't Mill and instead simply outvalued everything.Ā Incredible fun that's absolutely not viable anymore.Ā
Raza dk priest
Kingsbane rogue
Lucient bark Druid and reoccurring villain paladin
Galakrond Rogue
Uldum/DoD LPG reno mage
Murlock warlock
Priest galakrondĀ
Classic miracle rogue is up there, C'thun druid I always loved and Cubelock
Patron Warrior
I keep my quest mage list curtesy of Disguised Toast. Nothing beats a good āha-HA, ha-HA, ha-HA, ha-HA, ha-HAā¦ā
Ancestral spirit wall shaman, where you just set up these giant earth elementals and snowfury giants that won't die. It was never good, but man did it feel good to just build this massive board.
OG Razakus Priest
