Blizzard's Off-Meta Deck Spotlight - September 2018 [Warrior, Rogue, Priest]
Once again, Blizzard has posted three Legend decks with above average win rates that you should give a go!
Fatigue Warrior 60.8% WR
Many Control Warrior decks typically opt to include only Odd-cost cards so they can have an upgraded Hero Power, but this one takes a different approach. With the infinite value generation of two Dead Man’s Hands, you can outlast every threat thrown in your path and win the game via fatigue. Europe’s Selkr outlasted his opponents to achieve a 60.8% winrate.

Malygos Rogue 61.5% WR
The Boomsday Project gave rogue a few new tricks to use with Deathrattle minions. This deck uses Necrium Blade and Necrium Vial on a Kobold Illusionist to summon multiple copies of Malygos for an OTK. Opponents will suspect your Secrets to be Evasion—surprise them with Sudden Betrayal! 致命之足 from China took this deck to a 61.5% winrate.

Buff Priest 66.3% WR
This Buff Priest deck takes a simpler approach to winning. Instead of intricate combos, play lots of high health minions, buff them up with Extra Arms and Divine Spirit, and then finish them off with Inner Fire! Eternal Servitude is an interesting inclusion that has great synergy with Injured Blademaster and Witchwood Grizzly. Guard1019 from the Asia server flexed their muscles for a 66.3% winrate with this deck.

I'd cut one rogue secret and add the dk for one extra turn and more combo potential if you had to use your spells earlier in the game.
Priest list: Drop Extra Arms and put 1x Divine Hymn 1x Silence instead. Also -1x MassDispell for 1x Lyra if possible.
The best play is DK in 8, get that sweet weapon then Boom in 9 + hero power.
You get the best from both, the only downside are the games you are forced to play Boom before the DK, the hero power of the DK is just depressing...
True tho; the deck is quite ok, I like the fact that I just opened a second Injured Blademaster and wanted to use him.
they are not particularly relevant in the meta anyway
That priest deck is fun! Currently 6-1, taking me from rank 5 to 4. Obviously a ton of caveats as people play random decks at rank 5 at the beginning of the season, but still!
Priest one looks really cool. Probably gonna throw Zerek and Lyra in and watch the sparks fly.
I guess you win the fatigue by roping your opponent, driving your opponent crazy in 60 turns. I really dislike the armor-warrior because it is so slow and, for me , doesn't fit Hearthstone.
you smart, you go face
The Warrior one looks very consistent. I'm gonna give it a try.
Mecha'Thun, Exodia and Shudderwock will be a hopeless lost match but is good vs everything else.
and Kingsbane
Was there ever an expansion without priest's Inner Fire-Divine Spirit combo?
Yes, At some point last year priest was the weakest class. Among tens of millions active players only Zetalot played priest.
Every expansion before Shadow Visions?
And Inner Fire is always the fall-back when there aren't any meta Priest decks
Malygos rogue is great for laddering even vs aggro, it won't work without using your brain though.
I don't know what the fuck you are laughing about. They are both strong cards that serve different purposes and it's been common to run both if you aren't playing Baku since Boom dropped.
Are you the blizz itself that made the deck? Calm down.
He is right though. Fibonacci has created a few lists that run both heroes. One of the best wild warrior decks is also a fatigue warrior (RenoJackson's Legend DMH Control warrior) that runs both heroes. The DK is just too good against aggro, whereas Boom is just a lot of value. I've played many games where I played both, DK to stabilize with the weapon and Boom to outvalue.
I'm not saying it's super common, but it is a valid deck inclusion.
