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!

Khadgar Mage
Come hang out!
Two take-aways.
Dragon Healadin is Awesome. I love pulling out my dragon heal for 30 when I'm down to like 5 health.
I played a Warrior who played 5 Omega Destroyers in a single game, all from card generators. The multiplier on that mech is ridiculous, and when he gets 2/3 Omega Destroyers from a single Omega ASsembly, omg....
so we are not going to call it terorist warrior?
This combo is so sick. I love pulling this off. Even lightning storm.
Token druid is pretty insane right now. Just saying...
There's still dr. boom, hagatha and zuljin
and jaraxxus but nobody ever gets salty about jaraxxus.
It feels really good not to hear "NONE SHALL SURVIVE" in every single game.
And the eternal hunt has ended!
Bomb Warrior is overrated. It’s a T3 deck when the meta settles, at best.
No it won't. It has an insane winrate, it'll be at least tier 2 and that is only if counter decks get popular. Bomb warrior and Token druid seem to dictate the meta.
You're forgetting Tempo Rogue as well.
Find a place for resurect priest as well. Farms both control and bomb warriors and on good terms with mech hunter and tempo rogue. Simply because ppl don't run taunts at the moment. Very hard against token druid though.. very draw dependent.
1. It's still being formulated. I think someone is going to find a mage deck that really works, and warrior will have two flavors of bomb, one being more controllish, kind of how warlock had the cube-doomguard bunch and the other was more stall the game in K&C era-onward.
2. Nothing pisses me off more than the decision to make shaman murloc-focused this expansion. C'mon, shaman looked promising to control even after Shudderwock was (rightfully) nerfed. And like we need more aggro garbage decks.
3.
Control can still pull off miracles. I've gotten a buttload of armor in one round as warrior and survived four consecutive bombs (and won a few turns later), and had Nozari and buffed minions do double-digit heals with dragon paladin.
But hey, it actually feels NEW. I'm playing slower games, which I like. Still a few too many hunters and rogues, but aggro and smorc is what those classes only do. Now if there's a glut of same decks in two weeks ...
/waiting for a good hakkar deck, the Hearthstone Pack Gods gave me a gold one.
His job is to have ppl watching his Stream.
One thing I have noticed working well is Thanos lock with Void Contract, hakker and the new archivist.
I must say this is the most boring start of the year since they've created it. Really disappointing.
Not really. Most people got huge amounts of dust and are able to craft various, interesting new decks. Sooo... imo it's a nice start
The last three days have been the best days of playing hearthstone. Sure, there's some stuff that needs to be fixed, but now if I get my enemy low on health, I know that they won't be able to pull out a get out of jail free card like; Bloodreaver Gul'dan , Frost Lich Jaina, or Deathstalker Rexxar
I totally agree with you: moreover, it feels really strange (and satisfying) not to have to play around staple cards like turn 4 Flanking Strike, turn 7 Psychic Scream or turn 5 Fungalmancer.
It's happened at least two times in the last few games where I had a board full of small minions thinking "I hope he won't scream me" and just realizing some seconds later how silly I was lol
Omega Mind > Hagatha's Scheme
That thing with the scream still happens to me all the time... You don't get how widespread it was until all of a suden it's gone and you're back to the beta combo of Auchenai Soulpriest +Circle of Healing...
