Highest Performing Rise of Shadows Decks
Rise of Shadows has just launched and we're looking at some of the best performing decks. Remember that during the start of expansions the meta shifts quite quickly so for those on a budget, don't craft anything yet! These decks also will make quick work of Brawliseum, so play that if you want some sweet rewards for being good.
You may use the decks below in their entirety or find ways to make them work with the cards you have available in your collection. Who knows, maybe you'll find something even better!
Decks below have been provided by data harvested by HSReplay.
Bomb Warrior
If you like long games but also love blowing people up, this is it. The most popular deck by far right now and the highest winrate. Kripp, what have you done.
I suspect a more finalized version of Bomb Warrior is yet to come.

Murloc Shaman
Disgusting. Murloc Shaman is so good and frustrating to play against. If you're fighting me on the ladder, make me tilt by playing Murloc Shaman. Mrgl!

Come hang out!
I agree, yoo many just instntly copy and paste, with no creative exploration at all. I just cant do that, with somany new cars and ideas, I want to make and break them, not just copy the best deck and go.. thats too easy.
I dont like this "Kripp what have you done". If you are rank 5 or better every month you have a clue about what cards can be strong. I basically crafted bomb warrior first second after expansion was released because it was obvious to be strong. I had maybe 4 different cards than netdecks and still optimizing it (was using 2 oozes, now I have just harrison jones)
To be fair, 90% of this deck was crafted by Blizzard itself during a preview stream.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about. EVERY expansion, pros will say a certain card is good and be wrong every time. It's laughable then that you think you know it all after hitting rank 5 every month compared to pros whose JOB it is to be good at Hearthstone.
I agree. That deck is pretty easy to build without Kripp pointing out a list. I got to a similar list after 10-12 games, starting from scratches and with no decklist. And I'm VERY BAD when it comes to deck building.
Point is, it doesn't take a genius (or Kripp) to tell me that I need dr boom, wrenchcalibur, an elk etc to make that deck work. And since it's not aggro what are you filling it up with? removals. 1+1=2. That deck was made by blizzard during test phase
And yet somehow, they didn't use that deck for deck recipes / Whizbang the Wonderful... Did they think its TOO strong?
I don't know how you could possibly put zoolock into the "highest performing" decklist. This is one of the few times when just about every other board swarm deck is better and every control deck beats it easily..

If you have better data than HSReplay, by all means share it with us! If not, perhaps consider that your limited amount of observation in the last few days is in no way comparable to data mined over tens of thousands of matches.
Yeah not being able to rank past level 19 over 40-50 games with this deck when I've been playing this game since beta kinda qualifies as accurate data to me.
Because "playing since beta" obviously means you make optimal plays in every match.
Also, FYI, 50 (the number you claim you played) < 10,000 (estimated number of all the matches of all the people who played it)
Yeah, "playing since beta" heavily implies I'm not retarded when playing a zoo deck, an archetype that has existed since beta. And 10000 random matches during the first day before anyone figured out what the hell they were doing doesn't really qualify as accurate data considering everyone was experimenting with random crap.
I'm sorry, I was unaware your 50 games started well before and ended well after the first day, so your 1 man super statistics can beat everybody else's .
Also, playing for a long time says nothing about your skill. The fact you;re stuck at rank 19 while you should have most of the cards you'd ever want says that above anything else. Ranting in the forums just adds to that.
Also: I call total BS on your "40-50 games" - you're saying you've spent about 8 hours solid playing the same "unsuccessful" deck over less than than 3 days? Why on earth would you do that? Obvious lie is obvious.
Yeah, clearly it's much more likely that I have forgotten how to play after getting legend with a variety of archetypes including the one we are talking about, and that it's just me having a 20% winrate with this "amazing deck" with no win conditions, no direct damage, no minions that can reliably stay on the board, and no way of actually winning the board without committing so many weak 1 mana resources that 1 AOE will leave you without a board and hand. It's not like murlocs do everything this deck does but 10 times better and more reliably. It's also just a coincidence that I went to rank 10 without a single loss as soon as I switched to murlocs.
Because I made my own version when the expansion started and didn't ragequit instantly when it didn't work(who the hell even does that?), and instead changed cards around trying to make it work? It was practically the same deck as the one above but with soulfires instead of abusive sergeants (which won half the games since it lacks any way to get past taunts) for the second half of my games, but it took a while before I could reliably say that I wasn't just unlucky and the deck was super inconsistent and not that good even when you got lucky.
Edit:And I have no idea where you got "8 hours" from when a deck like this wins or loses in 5 minutes on average.
I know it's hard for you to understand, it's high school statistics, after all, but even if you yourself played 10,000 games and lost them all, and no one else in the entire game played it, one man can never be counted as any valuable statistic.
It just means Zoo isn't for you, you actually have to learn how to play it, and with murlocs you usually just have to get an angler or tidecaller in your opening hand against most decks. But hey, whatever works for you.
I don't know what the rank 19 meta is, haven't been there is months, but it just might be it's populated by people who designed their decks to counter Zoo... I guess there's not way to know, unless there was a site that propagated statistics on tens of thousands of games.
The only way those games took your 5 minutes each is if after the very first clear you conceded, or you won. But as you couldn't even break rank 19, I guess that didn't happen very often.
Sure, bro. Sure. Everyone buys this story completely.
You disbelieving that I actually played 40 games of Hearthstone is on the level of me disbelieving that you understand English.
I beat murlocs constantly with mage. Some spell damage, shooting star, blast wave, missles. Works alright
