Deck Recipes

Deck recipes have been added to the game.

Druid

  • Classic Druid - As a Druid, flexibility is part of your nature.  These Basic and Classic cards allow you to accelerate ahead of your opponent and to adapt to their strategy as you choose!
  • Ferocious Beasts - Continuously assault your opponent with the most ferocious beasts Azeroth has to offer. And a few non-beasts. They're honorary beasts.
  • Overwhelming Numbers - What is better than three minions?  Seven, of course! Summon an army of smaller minions, and grow them into huge monsters.

Hunter

  • Classic Hunter - Wild animals answer your call, as you lay down traps and strike with your bow. Hunt your opponent with this deck of Basic and Classic cards.
  • Deathtrap - Set traps to protect yourself as you control the pace with other spells. End the game with some of your bigger minions or a flurry of damage to your opponent’s hero.
  • The Thrill of the Hunt - This Hunter deck is one of the most aggressive in the game.  Remember: if you're not attacking their hero, you're probably doing it wrong.

Mage

  • Classic Mage - Want to be a Mage?  This deck of timeless Basic and Classic cards is designed to enhance and support spell casting!
  • Spells Unending - This deck is packed with tons of minions who find you more cards.  Trade your spells and minions for theirs aggressively to leverage the extra cards you’re getting.
  • Dragonfire - The ancient dragons will crush all opposition, assuming you live long enough to summon them. Nefarian told me to tell you not to embarrass him by dying.

Paladin

  • Classic Paladin - Interested in justice?  Consider a career as a Paladin with these Basic and Classic cards!  Command your army to control the board and cast blessed spells of the Light!
  • Dragons of Justice - Keep your opponent's board clear and finish the job with your high cost dragons.
  • Tide of Murlocs - Summon the greatest army of the tides. You’ll need to practice your battle cry! All together now: "MRGGLGLGGGL!"

Priest

  • Classic Priest - Are you a healer?  With this deck of solid Basic and Classic cards, keep your minions alive as they fight for you!
  • Strike With the Shadows - Take matters into your own hands. Trade in some healing spells for deadly shadow magic and aggressive minions!
  • Dragonflight - Survival is key when dealing with dragons. If you can last long enough, your big dragons will end up taking over the late game.

Rogue

  • Classic Rogue - Orchestrate the situation to your maximum advantage.  Exploit card interactions and strike swiftly with this deadly aggressive deck of Basic and Classic cards!
  • It's Combo Time - Combo multiple cards together in a single turn for maximum effectiveness!  Keep control and pair your cards effectively.
  • Empowered Spells - Surprise your opponent with just how much damage you can do. Spell Damage minions will strengthen your spells to help finish the job.

Shaman

  • Classic Shaman - Elements guide your path!  Use elemental magic to destroy enemy minions, and enhance your own to overwhelm your opponent.  All you need is Basic and Classic cards!
  • Totally Totems - On their own, each totem is fairly weak, but amassing an army of them can be quite scary. It'll help you win the game, too.
  • Murlocs Unleashed - Try rushing down your opponents using the Murloc’s aggressive synergies and finish them off with direct damage.

Warlock

  • Classic Warlock - Power is all that matters, and you take it from whatever the source.  This fast paced deck of Basic and Classic cards is full of minions intent on swift destruction of your opponent.
  • Demon Horde - Fill your board up and keep it full. Many of your cards become more powerful when you have tons of minions on the field, so decide carefully how your minions attack.
  • Handlock - You’ll want to stay alive while using your Hero Power as much as possible, some of your cards get better the more cards you have in your hand.

Warrior

  • Classic Warrior - What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger! These Basic and Classic cards take advantage of taking damage, and allow your hero to take part in the battle with weapons!
  • Unleash Your Rage - Dealing damage to your own minions is your path to victory here. Keep them alive long enough to take damage multiple times.
  • Reno Jackson - This deck only has one copy of each card in it, so that Reno Jackson can bring you back from the brink!

New Cards

As usual, plenty of Tavern Brawl cards have been added in with the build.

Deckslots and You!

Quote from Daxxarri
The Innkeeper has worked some magic to extend nine additional deck slots to Hearthstone players everywhere with patch 4.2! Experienced players will find 9 “new” Basic decks in their deck lists that can be edited, deleted, or renamed, while newer players can now edit their Basic decks before unlocking the extra slots.

So Much Room for Activities
Everyone will have access to the new deck slots, but some players will need to unlock them first. Fortunately, that’ll be simple: once you unlock all nine Hearthstone Heroes by defeating them in Solo Adventures Practice mode, you’ll also unlock nine additional deck slots, bringing your total number to eighteen!

Veteran Players
If you’re an experienced player, your new deck slots are likely unlocked already. Open your Collection Manager and scroll down to reveal your additional deck slots. You can scroll through all of your deck slots by using the slider on the right.

You’ll find nine new Basic decks—one for each Class. You can edit, delete, or re-name them, just as you can with any other deck slot.

New Players
Deck slots will work differently for new players. Rather than starting with nine slots, new players will unlock a Basic class slot for each Hero they’ve unlocked. Those Basic decks can be edited, but each one is dedicated to a specific hero. After all nine Hearthstone Heroes are unlocked, you’ll receive nine extra deck slots, and you’ll also be able to delete and replace the original nine Basic decks.

Ready for Action!
Choosing a deck to play in a match should be very familiar, but now you’ll have an extra page in the Deck Selection screen if you’ve created more than nine decks. You’ll see a gold arrow to the right or left of your deck page—select the arrow to switch which deck page is displayed, then choose the deck you want to use for your match.

These deck slots will work just like they always have: you can use them for Casual and Ranked play, Friendly Challenges, and Adventures.

That’s everything, so head to the Collection Manager to start experimenting with your new deck slots!
