Sigma's Top 10 Old Gods Standard Card Analysis

Sigma is back with some analysis on the Top 10 Old Gods cards! In this analysis, the opinions of four other Hearthstone Legends are also present - Nicslay, J4CKIECHAN, Ness, and FalconePunch. Below you will find the introduction of the glorious post, so make sure you head on over to the forums to read the whole thing.

This analysis will be a bit different from my previous ones, there will be only one tier, the Old God one (see what I did there?), as all of these cards definitely belong there. Each and every one of these 4 players chose their top 10 and I will be sharing some of their opinions on the cards right after my own personal opinion. Even though all of these cards will be definitely played, the higher the ranking on this list is, the bigger the chances are for the card to be meta-defining.

As I would like to make this analysis as interactive as possible, if I have missed something out and you guys have seen it, please let me know! Any comments on this analysis that are just blatant bash of my opinions will be fully ignored while constructive comments are of course more than welcome! If you prefer to contact me directly, I am always available atwww.facebook.com/sigmasrb or www.twitter.com/sigmasrb, or you can drop by my stream (www.twitch.tv/sigmasrb) and tell me what you think!

I would like to include a disclaimer; Firstly, the opinion is solely based on my experience with certain archetypes so as every player looks at the game and the meta in a different way, some of my points and views might be wrong and could be subject to editing. Secondly, even though I can personally vouch that all of these cards will be played, I will not take any responsibilities for the meta changes and your dust spent to craft these cards. Thirdly, the most of this analysis has been written before the WOG hit the EU Servers and finally, C’Thun will be left out of the analysis as he will be clearly defining the meta and the decks will revolve around him.

Besides the analysis staying similar to the ones from LoE, I will also be including the card that works similarly that we have available right now to the card that is being introduced for the better understanding of the mechanics and also what the arena value is of each and every card that I analyse, for all of you arena lovers.

Also, I will not be presenting the arena value as some cards that didn’t make the top 10 can have incredible arena value. So these will be only good Standard cards.

May Ranked Season has Begun!

This month's card back is none other than Shadowmoon Valley! Remember that you only actually need to hit Rank 20 in one of the ranked gamemodes (Standard or Wild) to obtain this card back. It should also be noted that you can only earn end of season rewards from one gamemode so don't worry about grinding out both! You will automatically get the rewards for whichever mode you rank higher in.
