5 Great Decks for for the Post-Nerf Meta

We're back at it with RegisKillbin to bring you five decks for the new (and short-lived) post-nerf meta. If you still don't know Regis, he's a consistent Legend level player and regular deck creator here on HearthPwn, and he has assembled these lists (inspired by others in many cases) that are taking the new meta by storm, and should give you an edge moving forward.

You can find each of the decklists below, including some thoughts from Regis himself. If you want to learn more about any of the decks, clicking them will bring you to that deck's specific page which will include additional details.

New Hooktusk Tempo Rogue

With the nerfs to Rogue, the Tempo Rogue builds of old that were reliant on Raiding Party have taken a backseat to this new build that introduces a Pirate package into the mix. This deck finds its roots in the Spirit of the Shark builds that were gaining popularity before the nerf, but adds extra depth in the mid- to late-game and works with thief-style cards more successfully in the wake of a less Rogue-populated meta.

Miracle Rogue

If you're looking for another way to play Rogue that wasn't too heavily impacted by the nerfs, you can give this Miracle Rogue a try. Although it still uses Preparation, the nerf doesn't affect it quite as negatively because Preparation retains a lot of its value when combined with Gadgetzan Auctioneer, and the list really only runs one spell above 3-mana anyway!

Zoo Warlock

There's nothing remarkable about this list, but Zoo Warlock was my pick for the deck with the most to gain in the post-nerf meta (and it's already gained a couple percentage points in win-rate to prove that point). Tempo Rogue and Warrior were both great against Zoo, and I'm expecting those classes to continue falling in popularity, giving Zoo's better matchups against Mech Hunter, Token Druid, and Murloc Shaman a lot more weight as those decks gain popularity.

Overload Murloc Shaman

Murloc Shaman is a deck that was making big moves right before the nerf, and that momentum has continued through the nerfs, but this deck (inspired by Supana) puts a slightly different spin on it, and in a direction that I think will benefit it as the meta develops because it's less susceptible to losing the early board against Zoo or Token Druid.

Hybrid Warrior

This incredible list inspired by Zyrios gives Warrior some interesting tools after the Archivist Elysiana nerf, allowing you to bounce your Elysiana on- or off-the-coin using things like Jepetto Joybuzz or Faceless Manipulator on an opponent's Elysiana (a relevant strategy in Warrior mirrors). It also contains the bomb package and a few early-game threats, giving it the ability to win quickly or win late depending on the matchup.
