Alongside Awedragon and RenoJackson, we would like to thank these top legend players who had taken part in giving us experts’ opinions: Spiral, Siveure, Corbett, Bananaramic, Hijodaikan, SgtSlay3r, Dean, Tripz, ksr, DestructYou, Yami and Dajmond. Their Twitters are to be listed at the end of the report.
Welcome to the Second Edition of Team Rankstar’s Wild Meta Snapshot for 2019! In this meta report, we will be going through a tier list of 45 decks we’ve seen frequently on ladder, explain the method of computing the tier list, break down the meta and analyse the deck as detailed as it needs to be. This report would also be the last one for Rastakhan meta as we know it, as we bid it farewell and welcome Rise of Shadows with high hopes.
We collected experts opinion through a spreadsheet, where our 14 Top Wild legend players will rate the given decks with a corresponding score from 1 to 4 in increments of 0.5 (with 1 being top Tier 1 and 4 being bottom Tier 4). We then collect the result, standardize them and categorize them in 4 different Tiers. This is what they mean:
Tier 1 (Meta-defining)
Highly-optimized decks with extreme raw power that are very well positioned in the meta.
Even Warlock
Odd Paladin
Kingsbane Rogue
4. Aggro Paladin
5. Mind Blast Priest
6. Mecha'thun Warlock
Tier 2 (Legend-viable)
Competitive decks that are not as well-rounded, but can snatch games off of tier 1 decks or prey on their direct counters.
7. Burn Priest
8. Even Shaman
9. Aluneth Mage
10. Anyfin Paladin
11. Big Priest
12. Cube Warlock
13. Togwaggle Druid

15. Jade Druid
15. Odd Warrior
15. Mech Hunter
18. Inner Fire Priest
19. Beast Hunter

21. Malygos Shaman
21. Pirate Warrior
23. Odd Rogue
24. Exodia Mage
25. Treachery Warlock

30. Deathrattle Hunter
31. Mill Rogue
32. Spell Hunter
33. Aggro Druid
34. Big Shaman
Tier 4 (Underwhelming)
Decks at a weaker power level that require an extensive understanding to be able to pilot well, however are not recommended for ladder experience.
35. Quest Rogue

37. Exodia Paladin
38. Control Warrior
38. Jade Shaman
38. Reno Mage
41. Even Paladin
