Hey guys, what is the best deck you think right now that I can start playing competitive on standard mode? I want to return to hs again after a long time (I think I never played since the witchwood expansion) and don’t know the meta right now nor the new expansions:)
I assume face hunter is still a thing but would appreciate othet competitive decks as well.
I suggest you to stay away from hs. Meta is complete trash for months, yet no actions were taken by devs to change anything. If you want to play HS, play battlegrounds, but don't come back to constructed
Meta is fairly balanced, as in a lot of decks (and surprisingly a good number of classes) are on a similar level right now. But generally, you should expect that most games won't last too long. Face Hunter is indeed a thing again.
If you feel like trying out Demon Hunter, then go unlock Demon Hunter (which you should either way) and maybe craft Soul Demon Hunter (though my personal guess is that the deck won't have a very long lifespan). It's not all that different from what you have seen before, but a new class might be more interesting regardless.
Hard to give general advise when it comes to decks, since it would depend on what playstyle you like. If you like old-school midrange decks, Libram Pure Paladin plays very much like one. If you like grindy control decks instead, Galakrond Priest and Bomb Warrior migth be more appealing. Your budget is also to be considered, of course.
Outside of Constructed, you might want to check out Battlegrounds and all the Single Player Stuff that's been released during your absence. Whatever you do, I wouldn't jump back into constructed without knowing anything about the cards that were released over the last two years (unless this is exactly what you want to experience). It's still Hearthstone, but you probably won't recognize any card and see a bunch of keywords and mechanics for the first time.

This.
If your dust budget is tight, I would suggest holding back on crafting. We are currently mid to late expansion, so the meta will likely shift again. AFAIK 3rd expansion will drop before worlds in December.
If you want a competitive deck to tide you over, face hunter is a good bet (assuming you want to play it).

Came to write this.
Meta is in a great place, and game is a lot of fun right now.
To guide you on a deck, need more info on play style and budget.
Thanks guys, I was mostly playing midrange-control decks but that doesn’t mean I am not open to new play styles:) Well i have quite some dust to craft some of the expensive decks but if there is going to be a new expansion I would rather go with some budget deck for now.
I don't understand how people claim that meta is good. Every second (if not every) game you will play against one of those:
- bomb warrior or soul demon hunter in a lesser degree, who will just go face with weapons and remove your minions with spells untill you lose, which is absolutely brain-dead playstyle, similar to old oil rogue
- rng mage or priest with 20+ "created by" spells you can't play around, so games are decided by the quality of spells they randomly generate
- paladin with infinite tempo (spellburst legendary, 5 mana +8/+8, 0 mana 4/5 taunt divine shield) or infinite value (Lady Liadrin legendary) or even both in some games
This list is pretty diverse, not gonna lie, but once you play like 10 games against each of them, you will find yourself in a spot where you would rather skip match with a loss to save time than play it out.
So to sum it out play anything from the degenerate list or don't bother coming back to the game

Not really.

Not taking your playstyle in account i would go Beast (or Face)Hunter or Soul Demon Hunter.
Considering the meta. I agree it is pretty stale. Most classes got 2 viable decks, but you see mostly one of those two.
Also this imo .
PS I would try MtG Arena instead (if you are not already playing that).
