Hello everyone, its that time of the rotation again when the meta gets shaken up with some new arrivals, as well as some fitting departures (We wont miss you Galakrond)!
NOTE: I will try to make decks that have proven to be effective in the current or recent metagames before making the fun meme decks that may or may not pan out!
Right after the reveal stream ended today I got to work building some decks for you guys and will update this thread as they become available, starting it off with a couple decks from Warlock and Warrior!
This is my rendition of a brand new archetype for warlock which focuses on self-milling to gain access to powerful cards. I like to call this Self-Destructo Warlock! I made this deck as a stall engine with re-introduced cards like Explosive Sheep and playing Tickatus without the corrupted effect, probably the deck that will be the hardest to gauge in this thread! (Might end up being meme but who knows?)
Taking the shell of an already successful deck in the Silas OTK warrior and compensating for the tools lost with brand new additions and cool combos! Outrider's Axe is our new Ancharrr and Rancor + Derailed Coaster is our newfound way to gain large amounts of armor. The Rancor combo I think will make this deck a decent option if the meta suits a slower/OTK playstyle!
This warrior decks makes use of the new keyword added to the game; Frenzy. Being a largely board-centric deck with strong tools in the midrange (Deck comes online after turn 4) with 2 finishers in the Overlord Saurfang and Alexstrasza the Life-Binder!
I have just finished these four for now and will add more decks from every class within the next few days. I will also add detailed guides for the decks that garner the most attention.
Thanks for checking out this thread and hope to see your feedback in the comments below!!
Building on the Pure Paladin lists that have been at least tier 2 over the past year. Cards like Cariel Roame and Veteran Warmedic only serve to increase the decks power level!
With the return of the Warhorse Trainer, maybe its enough to put dude pally over the top, but now we also got so many new secret synergy cards. I just meshed these two decks together to create one tempo secret dude pally list that might surprise this rotation because I think the pieces are there and it just needs some refinement after testing!
This deck makes use of the new "Watch Post" package introduced with the Barrens expansion and seems like these annoying cards fit right into what priest is trying to do! Once you have a board for yourself and dont need the value from the watchposts, can silence them and start to close out the game.
Some interesting ideas as usual. Will be keeping an eye on this thread.
Pro-tip: post updated or more refined versions closer to release day and they are more likely to fall in the period from which we draw the Launch Day decks lists that get featured in the big deck post for the expansion! :D

I think this is a better combination between dudes and secrets in paladin. What do you think?

Aren't Lightforged Crusader and Lightforged Zealot rotating? I think they are from Descent of Dragons and I'm not sure if that deck is really that good enough withot them.
Felt really good about this deck and wrote an extensive guide for it, I have found success sharing control warlock lists in the past and hopefully you guys like what you see with this deck as well!!

More to come!
I have my sights set on mage first, but this deck looks like it should be good, too.
I've always wanted to do an Envoy Rustwix deck before but most of the lists were running the quest and I didn't want to craft it just before rotation. However...
Getting a free Lord Jaraxxus and then doing the same thing with the deck, basically, should be fun. Primes and infernals for the late game!

Yessir! Now if this deck turns out to be too greedy on the late-game value side I will cut Tickatus or Vectus. That will be dictated by how the deck plays after the expansion goes live!

Demon Hunter:
Shocking to me how this deck was not nerfed with patch 20.0. Expect to see this deck with almost the exact same list dominating the ladder this year.
An aggro Demon Hunter deck making use of outcast synergies to maximise Kor'vas Bloodthorn damage!

Priest:
Using Dark Inquisitor Xanesh to churn out immense amounts of value and playing a bunch of random generated cards that priest has become known for!
This deck makes use of the new "Watch Post" package introduced with the Barrens expansion and seems like these annoying cards fit right into what priest is trying to do! Once you have a board for yourself and dont need the value from the watchposts, can silence them and start to close out the game.

Oh yeah for sure, I will have my eyes on that buddy!

Its nice as well, just dont trust the caravan cards much, only testing will tell!
:)
https://hsreplay.net/replay/27u2NJTZZJgToJ6k6n5BTM
I know. That is the worst card in the deck. But we desperately need another silver hand recruits generator
Hopefully the mini set helps with that!

Omg your right, I’m dumb!
going back to the drawing board but I dont want to make the usual penflinger paladin...

Interesting decks...I'll try them after testing my own Damage Barrens Mage, Dude/secret Pally and taunt druid.
Sounds good my friend, do let me know how they go!
