Decks to Play Before Hearthstone's Next Set of Nerfs Arrive
Earlier this week, four nerfs were announced and we were told we'd be seeing them arrive this month. We don't have an exact date yet but we've certainly got a bit of time left to play around with these cards before they're forever damaged by the great nerf bat. The best part about knowing which cards are being nerfed means it may finally be your chance to craft them temporarily to have some fun since they will all be disenchantable for their full value post-nerf.

π In set reviews, I was a sleeper π
πWhen minions die, I get cheaper π
π You guessed it right π
π I'm 3 attack weaker π

First, we'll take a look at the cards being nerfed and we'll follow that up with four decks you should try before those nerfs go out. Warning, most of the decks are aggressive in nature because that's the problem the Hearthstone team is helping solve through the card changes.
The Card Nerfs
Four cards will forever (hopefully) be changed.
- Bonemare now costs 8 mana, up from 7.
- Corridor Creeper now has 2 attack, down from 5.
- Patches the Pirate no longer has charge. His voice line will also be changing. (Source)
- Raza the Chained's effect now sets your Hero Power to 1 mana, up from 0.

Decks Worth Trying #1 - Aggro Druid
A personal favourite for getting the monthly card back out of the way. Play cheap minions, buff them, win either to a concede or brute force.

Decks Worth Trying #2 - Face Hunter
One of Hearthstone's oldest archetypes. Smack people in the face and collect loot. Patches the Pirate makes your opponent feel like they'd have more fun banging their head against a wall and after they finally drop some board clear, you activate your trap card, Corridor Creeper - If you even need it.

Decks Worth Trying #3 - Razakus Priest
The archetype has fallen a bit out of favor recently due to Spiteful Priest simply being a better deck, but this is one of those decks that you'll regret not trying once it is no longer possible. The 0-cost hero powers of Shadowreaper Anduin and cheap spells let you rope your opponents assuming, of course, they don't leave when they realize they have no answer to Raza.

Decks Worth Trying #4 - Zoolock
Our final deck is certainly an archetype we will always see in some capacity, but the current version will be overcome nerfs. The only deck here featuring three of the cards being put down, Zoolock is going to need some radical changes if it intends to keep up with its brother in crime, Cubelock. It's tough to make an exact prediction on where the meta will be post-nerfs though, so who knows!

Laughed soooo hard on the poem twist
I'm farming KaC packs in Arena like crazy just tl get more Creepers! I've gotten 2 already, gotta fish those worms for 400 dust!
Opened 150 packs = 2 regular Creepers.
"Spiteful Priest simply being a better deck" than Razakus? Are you sure about that? According to the data Spiteful falls off significantly at higher levels of play and Razakus becomes king.
I'm going to hope that line is trolling, because otherwise it might be the worst thing I've seen posted by hearthpwn. Razakus curves with powerful minions into a combo that can otk before turn 10... And also has the upside of not getting annihilated by aggro.
I've been pounding some razikus before it's gone. Been kinda fun! Had a mirror where we both got the 5/8 drops. I found Velen faster... GG.
I amz glad dey posted D's decks as I didn't knowz anyone even played D's decks as I've never seen dem on shootz and ladderz.
Nerfs welcome. Will make aggro tards use the brain. At least what`s left of it.
People were allready playing all of these on the ladder. Pretty much only what you see.
There is nothing worse for Hearthstone than braindead netdecks... You should encourage players to explore fun combos and smart plays not ''face face face''
I know netdecking is a thing, I was just saying they should promote smart netdecks that actually require thinking and planning to master not autopilot cancerous face deck that are nightmare to play against
I think you might have used the wrong dictionary to translate what i wrote. There is nothing different about the ''aproached'' ''fun'' reccomended decks above. There is little fun to be had when to stand any chance of winning you have to fill half your deck with counters to these bullshit decks.
Dude I play aggro decks right now because the most popular NETDECKS are mega-control Priest and Warlock decks that auto win unless you beat them on turn 5.
Cancer cancer! GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! Let’s encourage all the broken shit ppl hate about this game wow and you wonder why ppl blame sites like this for ruining the community
And after the nerfs people will find new "broken shit" to play and the whine cycle begins again.
i agree people will always whine but my point here is blizz has acknowledged the cards are broken hence the nerf. they have also stated its a problem when they announce a nerf and everyone plays the hell out of the nerf set until its implementation, further ruining the game, yet here its being encouraged.
I would like a article of decks to play after nerfs :)
