Top Five Highest Win-Rate Witchwood Decks
Using data sourced from our Innkeeper application, we've got the top five highest win-rate decks for Witchwood. Decks showcased below for each of the archetypes are the exact decklist that has the advertised win-rate. Variants of these decks may be on par with them and may even be better depending on what you are seeing on the ladder.
You can help contribute your own game data by installing Innkeeper and playing games with it open in the background. The application, available on Windows, also provides an overlay so you can see which cards remain in your deck to better plan your future turns.
[66%] Odd Paladin
The first deck we've got for you features Baku the Mooneater via Odd Paladin! A deck that I've personally piloted, it looks like the community overall has a slightly higher win-rate than the one I've advertised. It's a super fun deck with lots of little combos that flood the board and completely overwhelm your opponent.

[65%] Spiteful Druid
The second highest ranked deck right now is Spiteful Druid! This is the list that Hearthstone's Iksar has played on the ladder and it looks like it wasn't only working for him considering the high win-rate.

[61%] Cubelock
Cubelock returns again to be a prominent player in the Hearthstone meta. Not a whole lot has changed since Kobolds, but the deck now has an additional, more powerful Defile through Lord Godfrey and Voodoo Doll is all kinds of annoying for your opponent. No guide is available, but here's the list Zalae was playing a few days ago and that is sitting at the magical 61% win-rate.

[61%] Spiteful Priest
Our fourth top deck is Spiteful Priest, a deck which gained a couple of very nice cards with Witchwood that enables token generation for the deck through Nightscale Matriarch and beautiful instant gratification through Scaleworm.

[60%] Aggro Mage
This specific deck was theorycrafted and popularized by Trump. No one has yet written a guide for it, but the deck plays quite simply. Lots of low-cost spells alongside the new Vex Crow give you some serious value in the early game.

Even paladin is so much better than Odd version lmao.
nerfs are coming
Lol that a good one. (the nerfs thing)
I think the pala's aren't only ones needing a nerf tho (I'm watching you warlock)
Thought exact the same, i've destroyed 5/5 odd-paladin with the even one. Idk why u got downvotes lol
But now (without any nerfs) even is better than odd
what nerfs? Could give us a source?
even is better at beating aggro, but odd is better at beating slower decks
I used this cubelock list and found it much better than the one with voodoo doll. I've shared it with my friends and they also think its better. Cubelock was great as it was and changing to many does not bring it´s whole potencial.
To all those complaining about how few Witchwood cards are in these decks:
First, one of these only runs one new card and yet is a completely new style of deck. Never have we been able to flood the board the way odd paladin does. One new card spawned an entire archetype and revived cards that haven't seen meta play since beta (ie Sword of Justice, Stormwind Champion). That's a much bigger impact than you are giving it credit for.
Second, of course mostly refined decks that only sub a few new cards are going to be top for the first weekend because, and lets see if you can track the logic on this, the decks are already mostly refined. Just because these are the best decks for the first few days does not mean they are the best decks. It means that they were the easiest to optimize. Which totally makes sense if you think critically for 5 freakin seconds. A deck with a lot of new cards needs a lot of experimenting and refinement before it will perform well. A deck without a lot of new cards doesn't. Shocker.
Third, lets look at some cards that haven't seen meta play in the last year and are in the above lists because of WW: Mindbreaker, (post-nerf) Bonemare, Psychic Scream in Spiteful Priest, Tortollan Shellraiser, Archmage Antonidas in a non-combo deck, Breath of Sindragosa, Ironbeak Owl, Blessing of Might, Light's Justice, and the aforementioned Sword of Justice and Stormwind Champion. Most of those aren't just in the lists because of rotation. They are meta calls adapting to the strengths of the new decks.
The above decks "only" containing 10 new cards is the worst measuring stick for the impact WItchwood has had over the last 4 days. Think critically for a minute and you might be able to figure that out for yourself.
Dude, you play on mac ? what a joke ! Good luck with that 5 year old computer sold at higher than todays prices :)
Yeah, because your machine and OS of choice matters so much for such a demanding game :rollseyes:
uh... odd paladin is literally dude paladin without the even cards....different versions of aggro don't count as a "new archetype"
'Hmm, i really wish i could use some of hese really strong cards, but they're odd/even and my deck won't work then, i need to find some substitute for them.' -> cards included that did not see play for quiet the time.
I disagree on Spiteful Druid, it didn't have anti aggro tools the last expansion. The best decklists didn't run Spreading plague, it had more ramp, and Swipe was the only early removal card.
