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.

These decks are going to be piloted LIVE! Tune in below.
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.

Really don't want to see MORE rogue.
Priest, come save me!
Well, fudge. Ah well. Was fun while it lasted.
The Warrior deck looks pretty troll imo haha.
Or maybe you just suck ass bud.
Thanks Reg, great decks. Too bad I don't have the dust to play them (except murloc, which is boring for me), but maybe I'll get there.
That warrior list is a pile of useless junk without any wincondition. Would have saved myself the time of looking through it if I'd first look at who posted it. Rank5 floor clown.
I think Prep should make the next spell that costs 3 or less free. And Vanish and Sprint should have their cost reduced by 1 to compensate.
The Miracle Rogue deck is awesome. Not broken or anything so the average pleb won’t auto-netdeck but as a rogue main it’s nice to see cards like Wanted! being used in an effective way.
It's real easy to say they'll give us better spells, but there's no reason to think that'll happen. When Blade Flurry was nerfed, how long before it actually made sense, it was over a year. All due respect to Blizzard, it is not in any way a foregone conclusion that Rogue will get something better in development because of the nerfs, when the nerfs are meant to weaken the classic set and not necessarily set up anything. Wishful thinking as I see it.
The Hooktusk deck seems the most consistent early on for Rogue, expect to see it a decent amount; strong deck but it can run out of steam very quickly. Also PSA: do NOT craft Wanted, the card is bad, save your 800 dust for literally anything else.
Next level creativity.
Honestly these deck are trash lol. Nothing will beat CW, Mech/Mid Hunter or Mage abusing Conjuers bullshit
So why don´t you cry for the next nerfs for Warrior, Hunter and Mage? May Blizzard will nerf them in 2-3 weeks.
Something is wrong with Hybrid Warrior deck. There are Common cards in it /s
Yeah thats disgusting. I hate low budget-decks..
if you list murloc shaman, then you should also list midrange hunter - rogue was its worst matchup.
i predict the deck is about to shine in this meta.
Tempo Rogue , Miracle rogue , Murlock Shaman , Zoo Lock!!!!!! Finally some decks that i havent played in the past 5 years this is so refreshing..........
Rogue, warrior
lmao, Blizzard nerfs Elysiana because it makes games go for too long and the first thing people do is try and find a way to abuse it anyways.
then everyone complains about how boring the game gets
Actually blizzard failed nerfing Elysiana the way they did it. People try to extract the maximum value of the cards they have. Dont blame everyone, blame blizzard.
