Get Brewing with Deck Recipes
A new feature called Deck Recipes is coming to Hearthstone. This adds a very basic form of netdecking to the game itself.
Quote from BlizzardReady to embrace your inner deck-builder, but not sure where to start? Don’t fret, friend! Deck Recipes are coming to Hearthstone to help inspire* new deck-builders to create fun and functional decks!
Introducing Deck Recipes!
Deck Recipes are a new feature coming to Hearthstone to help budding deck-builders get a head-start on quickly crafting a solid deck to play in the Tavern. They’re great for both new players who haven’t built many decks, and experienced players who don’t want to create a deck entirely from scratch. To access the Deck Recipes, simply go to your Collection Manager via the “My Collection” button, select the “New Deck” option under “My Decks,” and pick your class; then you’ll see the Deck Recipes on the left-hand side. Three are available for each class, including one classic recipe, and two themed recipes. If you want to quickly jump into a game and need a deck, classic recipes are the way to go. If you’re more experienced and want to try something different, themed recipes may provide some inspiration.
Each classic recipe consists of only Basic and Classic cards, and provides a good foundation for you to get started on building most traditional decks. Newer players will find that the classic recipe is a great tool to get familiar with the deck-building process, but they can also serve as a handy shortcut for veteran players looking to get a new deck started.
Themed recipes revolve around certain card types or mechanics, and generally promote synergy between the cards included in the recipe. These slightly more advanced decks each promote a specific playstyle, and are better suited for more experienced players looking to try something new.
Examples of themed recipes include:
- Rogue’s Empowered Spells recipe – This deck focuses mostly on card draw and spell damage, anchored by the mighty essence of magic himself, Malygos.
- Hunter’s Deathtrap recipe – A control-based deck that focuses on board control and the use of Trap spells.
- Shaman’s Murlocs Unleashed recipe – An aggressive deck that focuses on buffing synergies, and our favorite fishy friends.
But I’m Missing Cards!
Don’t have all of the cards to complete a specific Deck Recipe? No sweat! Simply click on one of the greyed out cards you’re missing, and the greatly improved “Suggest a Card” feature will help you replace it with a card from your collection. This should help make it easy to quickly finish a deck, and start playing!
We hope you’ll have fun experimenting with Deck Recipes, and that they’ll help get your creative deck-building juices flowing. These recipes serve as a great starting point for building solid decks, and also serve as useful tools for those looking to get into more advanced deck-building. If you’re excited about our upcoming Standard format, we have you covered—all of our Deck Recipes are Standard-friendly. As new cards are released, we may update the current Deck Recipes, or swap some out entirely, so keep on the lookout!
*This inspire effect does not require the use of a Hero Power, but may result in excessive tinkering. Use with caution.

This looked fine, but turned out really terrible... Blizzard pushing decks that they thought would be fun to play but aren't really played... control hunter and murloc shaman? These are terrible and gonna get stomped really hard. Also suggesting a newbie one of a hardest deck, Maly rogue is not a good idea. Won't mention that newbies have to have Malygos in the first place which is the core card for the deck and I would rather suggest to craft Sylvannas or Ysera who are more viable than Malygos.
I didn't say Maly Rogue isn't viable, I just said the deck is one of a hardest deck to play and Ysera and Sylvannas are more viable than Malygos, because as a new player you can put those two in any deck and they won't be bad, so it's better to craft them than Malygos.
Well I guess we haven't seen the other suggested decks, so it's hard to criticise, but showing these three as an exapmple for new players is just bad.
I think Blizzard wants to encourage more creativity. People seem to forget you can get to rank 5 with pretty much any decent decklist. I was playing control Hunter and Malygos Hunter to rank 5 a few seasons ago at over 60% win rate.
Sounds neat. Since they didn't say anything about when it is being implemented, I'm guessing it is coming along with standard and the new expansion?
Welp, this just brought in some more hype for me. :D
Nice!
When I read this, I was really hoping that the game would just give you those cards and let you play a deck.
That way, new players have at least ONE deck for every class that they can play with in Standard. No need to grind out gold, everyone has a viable deck that works. Sadly it seems that if you don't have the cards, you're given terrible choices as to what to replace them with. I'm going to guess that Bloodmage is an example from the Malygos Rogue deck - if it is, neither of those cards are good subs.
Pity that it wasn't a deck rental service, could have been a really good catch-up mechainic for newer players.
Here's hoping that you can edit those Recipies though, so you can actually save decks yourself
Replacing Bloodmage Thalnos with either Haunted Creeper or Amani Berserker seems to be terrible. Are these suggestions only based on mana cost?
Value Town!
Oh snap, people might be more encouraged to play a variety of decks instead of flavor of the month. Looks fun and promising.
Sucks that the community can't build and share recipes.
Seems like a fine way to help newbies startong out.
Yo dawg, we heard you like netdecks, so we put some netdecks in your decks so you can netdeck that little bit easier.
This is awesome! Deck building is definitely one of the most punishing aspects for new players coming fresh into the game. This should help even things out quite a bit.
Hearthstone just gets better and better all the time, I'm so happy to be part of this community. I can't wait to try this new feature out! :D
As someone who's big into deck-building, I'm curious to learn more and see it in action!!
