Quote from Jesse HillGreetings!
One of the greatest joys in Hearthstone is watching players adapt and grow throughout the course of a competitive season. We’re always surprised and inspired by the inventive deck ideas that spring up on the ladder in the face of stiff competition.
Today, we wanted to showcase a few of the awesome, creative decks that have been successfully climbing through the rank of Legend.
To find these decks, we scoured the rankings for players that did well last week, and picked out some interesting builds from amongst these top performers. We only selected decks that were played in 50 or more games at Legend level.
First up we have Stancifka, running a very creative Quest Mage deck.
Stancifka's deck went through many iterations; however, this version (with an impressive 73% win rate!) seemed to serve him best.

Next up is a deck that created a lot of buzz around the release of Kobolds and Catacombs: Minionless Hunter. On the China server, 小青藤 piloted this deck to a 65% win rate.

Lastly, we have a unique take on the idea of Shaman evolution.
Jambre's Arcane Giants/Unstable Evolution deck went through 15 different revisions during its run, but he achieved a 68% win rate with this version.

Each of these players showed great skill and put up impressive numbers with some awesome deck choices. Congrats to each of these players!
What are some of the craziest decks you’ve seen or played on the ladder lately? Let us know on Twitter, Facebook, or in the comments below!
Good luck on your climbs everyone!
OP said they should've added a disclaimer about these being high-level legend decks, when that disclaimer already exists right in the post. Suggesting they "have a point" just because high-level players are better than low-level players is insultingly pedantic - no one needs that explained to them.
Btw, it's a blue post linking to Hearthpwn.

This should be done more to encourage new decks and archetypes that are viable. hey guys cubelock and aggro pally aren’t the only way to get ranks
They should note that the 73% win rate is from the pilots skill. Cifka is a former MTG Pro Tour winner and has numerous wins in the HS community since he switched, he could pilot a ham sandwich and get a decent win percentage.
Of course he plays good. But to be fair, that really isn't overly difficult in this game and pretty much every somewhat experienced player will pilot any deck perfectly after getting used to it.
The Shaman deck looks really cool
When I saw StanCifka's deck on top
The game has been out for years. Why are you still calling Spells “Abilities “?
It's a trap, guys! Do NOT use your dust on this crap! Save it! It's a new bait from Bli$$ard to spend your resources!
Ugh. Boring complaint is boring.
I am not complaining by the way HaHAA ) You're boring ;-)
It looks as if you do not play this game at all, bro. Ok, bro, let's do it! Let's spent 1,6k dust for rexxsar, and another one for Rhok'Delar. And then you should also spent dust for unstable evolution, far sight, and fight promoter LUL Open the Waygate and Zola the Gorgon. LUL LUL LUL And don't tell me that you already have all of these to play. You just don't, bro, so fuck off ;-)
You really came back 3 hours later with this even more clever rejoinder? Wow. I'm blown away.
And yes, I have every card you mentioned, though I only have one Unstable Evolution - would have to craft the second one.
When I first read the title I thought they were going to throw 2k dust decks at us in an attempt to close the "game is too expensive" discussions.
Good thing I was wrong.
Tempo Rogue variant with aya and jade spirit package. The idea is that aya works like cairne a a Bonemare curve target and Sonya makes it so it is worth to run jades even if you only have three. Sadly I’m not legend.
Damm missing the death knights for hunter and shaman. Would be fun to try the decks on ladder.
Missed Savjz’s Weasel Priest
Was hoping to not see Corridor Creeper on any of these lol...
Well ... The minionless Hunter doesn't contain any traces of Creep ..! ^^
