Class Breakdown
Below are some interesting facts about the classes we see in this weekend's event including a pretty pie chart of class distribution.
- Hello there old friend! Priest makes a surprising appearance.
- Compared to the EU Spring Champs, Paladin and Druid have swapped places.
- Shaman, unsurprisingly, remains at the top for most popular class to bring, tied with Warrior.
- Heisnotaxel is the only player who didn't bring a Shaman deck, yet brought Paladin and Priest.
Archetype Breakdown
- Hunter: All the Hunter decks are Midrange. This is the most popular single deck archetype, just like it was during the EU Spring HCT.
- Yogg-Saron: Three Yogg-specific decks are here, 2 of the Mage flavor and another of Druid. Mmmm. Old God Flesh.
- Warrior: The widest range of decks from all the classes. Fun!

Card Design Competition Season 3 Finale
We must crown a champion! It's been a competitive past 6 months and now it is time that we crown a winner in our third season of the HearthPwn Card Design Competition. If you could swing on by the voting thread and check out everyone's winning entries from this season and cast a vote on the ones you think deserve to win, we'd love you a long time!
Head on over to the voting thread, it ends in just over a week! Check out the thread for further instructions.
Can't believe someone had the guts to bring Paladin and Priest. Props to him, even though he didn't win.
It's good to see the Shaman being represented.
Paladin is not pink and Rogue is not yellow?
Disgusting.
Hs never wanna be the same,,,FeelsBadMan #UnblancedPieceOf***** RIPSTONE
warrior variety is a huge design achievement.
However, I'm disappointed by the HUGE cost of EVERY warrior deck, and this is a big design flaw (not a failure): bare variety of good synergies does not create variety of decks in casual/ladder, because cost is a variable you cannot avoid there.
Thank you for list !
i get an achievement from posting this comment so im doing that now
Seems legit.
I feel obligated to root for Edward Elric, the dude lost his mother and is fighting to get his brother's body back!
I thought you were serious, then I remembered I did watch FMA.
The Shaman himself.
The Shaman himself has made some interesting card choices, only one Flamewreathed Faceless but two Earth Elementals. He also runs Hammer of Twilight but no Doomhammer. Will be interesting to see how well that deck works.
Is here I'll see some weird stuff right?? Oh right.. a Priest deck finally and Dragon Warrior :D
KillerHero's MidHunter is preeeetty awesome =)
A Paladin AND a Priest deck AND no SHAMAN? Crown HIM the damn champ.
Will Caster cast Casters casting gameplay?
Killerhero's shaman list is midrange not aggro.
PPH's Mid-range Shaman list is... Rather interesting. It's definitely a MR list, but it's not the typical totem list that's run currently. Would be cool to highlight it!
Earth Elementals, Al'Akir... What fun for the Shaman!
Good to see a priest deck play in this championship.
