Blizzard's Off-Meta Deck Spotlight - June 13, 2018
Once again, Blizzard has posted three Legend decks with above average win rates that you should give a go!
Even Windfury Shaman [58.8% WR]
Kicking things off, we have a bit of a different take on a deck that has been seeing more popularity on the ladder recently: Even Shaman. Forgoing some of the early aggressive options typically seen in these builds, this deck emphasizes mid-game minions, with the aim of setting up for big late game plays with the likes of The Lich King and Al’Akir the Windlord.

Kingsbane Rogue [58.8% WR]
Kingsbane helped Rogues carve up the meta during Kobolds and Catacombs, but the Legendary Weapon hasn’t had the same level of impact since entering The Witchwood. This Kingsbane Rogue deck looks to get that edge back. Utilizing the arsenal of removal spells at its disposal, the deck focuses on managing the board until Valeera the Hollow comes into play, when it can truly take control thanks to its access to double the awesome options!

Elemental Mage [54.2% WR]
This tempo-style Elemental Mage has lots of great tools to help control the board and overwhelm opponents. It then utilizes the Mage class’ explosive spells to help clear the way for its minions to end the game. However, if opponents happen to survive until the late game, Frost Lich Jaina makes an appearance to help seal the deal.

That's kind of it. Kingsbane has a lot of moving parts and is hard to make happen properly, but against a greedy deck, it's a really amazing match-up for the KB player. If you get them all, it's boss. But getting to that point against some decks is very hard, if not impossible.
And yeah, it's basically a weaker version of pre-rotation Kingsbane decks. Fewer buffs, more combo reliant. It won't break the meta because it's simply too slow against a lot of what's top tier. But it sure will put a stick in the spokes as you ride along.
Please take your Kingsbane and shove it back somewhere, we've had enough, Blizz.
(And I am saying that as a Rogue player)
Kingsbane needs to be destroyed forever like all rouge stuff lol
Ele Mage is pretty damn good right now though
Eww Kingsbane Rogue. The ultimate control and OTK killer deck of wild. See way too much of the disgusting deck.
Bran, Gnomeferatu and Geist FTW !
Kingsbane turned out nicely...
No. No more Kingsbane. Please. I never want to see a 20 attack lifesteal weapon again.
