It's a theorycraft deck. If a deck gets upvoted enough it will make this list, even if it's not yet playable. If that's something you would rather not see in this list then just comment and we will take it into consideration.
Honestly, theorycrafted decks are often more interesting than meta decks at this stage of the expansion, which is why we did not exclude them.
It’s just that the link says these are the best decks of the week, which means that they have been tested and victorious on Ladder... it’s not really a “best deck” if it cannot even be played yet...
The best way I see to do this is play any spell last turn, then next turn summon Khadgar and play Firelands Portal for two 5 cost minions and two 6/6 dragons!
I would definitely run 2x Tunnel Blaster as they are great against aggro and can be summoned easily after using Prismatic lens and can be brought back with redemption for extra fun.
I run two in my Big Paladin and they have saved me countless times against Murloc Shaman, Token Druid, and other swarm decks. It’s awesome.
I love this expansion. Finally no more pally and a control meta. Thats the only thing i wanted to see.
On the contrary, Paladin is stronger than ever due to this expansion. Instead of focusing on small minions, they now have a big minion oriented deck that is a real powerhouse and counters Bomb Warrior and much of the meta. I’m excited for the new direction Paladin is heading in!
What Paladin deck?
I hope you don't mean Secret Paladin, cause it will be countered by Hunter if it ever becomes a success (Flare instantly guts the entire deck, and Hunter just got a handful of spell generation).
I'm not entirely sure, but I think he refers to a Heal or Dragon archetype. Those are to me, the most prominent at the moment.
I’m not referring to either of those decks. I’m talking about Big Paladin, a deck I made up right when the expansion launched. It’s so much fun and laughs at Bomb Warrior and Hunter. I’m working, but I will try and write out my deck list tonight.
All I want is a control Shaman to work, keeping Warrior at bay but then the bombs fuck me, trying Archwhatever (replace deck with 10 cards) but cn't keep up with burgle/tempo rogue and that's all i'm meeting on ladder.
I'm bummed, been trying so many counters to these decks and I just keep on losing. Thought Muckmorpher and new Hagatha would be a cool idea but it's just way too slow. Lost like 6 in a row just now, but i quit before i properly tilted.
Guess I'll try again later, and again until I crash and try bomb warrior cancer (yeah it's not unbeatable just super frustrating, feeling like you can't do anything against it) especially in a control match up that isn't Warrior, I have healed back up to 30 4x in a game and still lost to bombs...
Overall feeling of 'meh'.
Dude, Walking Fountain and Witches Brew are awesome counters to Bomb Warrior for Shaman. You just need to outpace them and constantly have a full board, which isn’t too hard for Shaman. You can always play Big Paladin, which is a great counter to Bomb Warrior and absolutely wrecks them 8/10 games.

I am happy that you liked. I don't like it because my issue is that I wanted something new because, for me, the game is becoming bored. Nothing new was added, so the expansion for me it is extremely bored. I am playing the old miracle rogue so I really don't like. I can't play wild because I am too bored to see only big priests. I really hate this expansion. For me it is the worst ever expansion made.
There are a TON of new deck ideas and strategies, you just have to look harder than surface level.

So how is Druid using cards from the new set?

Very strong card especially versus OTK decks, as you can bring out your strongest minions before they have a chance to draw 85% of their deck.

Cult Master would work well here...

With any sort of healing, which most people have access to.

Try Mech Paladin or Murloc Shaman.

Why does everyone keep saying it’s 5 Mana? It’s 4 Mana

No way! Paladin is stronger than ever! Just play Big Paladin. It absolutely wrecks Bomb Warrior and most aggro.

Big Paladin wrecks Bomb Warrior. I’ve played against over 20 of them and only lost once due to a bad hand.
