Grandmasters Deck Lists - Week 7
Today we are bringing you the decklists of the winners of our highlighted matches from our Grandmasters Week 7 Preview post. So if you still need to watch those games, stop reading now and go do that first, because spoilers are ahead!
The regular season has concluded and most groups were tightly contested until the very end. We now know which 4 players from each region have advanced to the playoff portion, as well as which player will be relegated and replaced in each group for next season.
Here are this week's deck lists, with a little information about how the games went down.
Monsanto's Decklists
Amnesiac protected his Warrior deck while Monsanto shielded his Combo Priest. Both players had their Druid deck banned.
After dropping Game 1 to Warrior, Monsanto was able to pick up wins with his Shaman and Priest decks to take the series 2-1. A strong showing from Monsanto over the weekend cemented his spot in the playoffs next week.

So even Hearthpwn are too fucking gutless to cover the blitzchung Grandmasters story.
Fuck Blizzard, fuck this whole game, and fuck ya'll for being complete cowards.
if hitler invented oxygen would you stop breathing it?
ummm, they did cover it. The article's on the front page
Actually. A Nazi scientist who invented chemical weapons also invented a method that doubled food production and is why the world is able to sustain the population we have now.
So, literally, if a Nazi scientist is the reason why you have food would you stop eating?
Nice decks!
ONly netdecks...what's the deal?
Because netdecks are often the most refined versions of successful archetypes. Brewing is way too time consuming and inconsistent if your goal is to win. You could say that netdecks are finalized versions of brews, because every netdeck started as a brew once and got tested, optimized and perfected over time by thousands of players.
I personally think there should have been a second rule to determine relegation: Number of wins.
A last place player with 4 or under wins has completely under-performed and should be relegated.
5 or 6 wins is still a respectable showing, and Feno (5 wins) and Orange (6 wins!) did not deserve relegation.....
F for orange, feno, rase, strifecro, bloodtrail and pathra.
Super sad for Orange :((((( Hopefully he will be back soon.
Will there be a overview post about who's advancing to the next stage and what that play-offs format looks like?
all weekends, 3 or 4 out of warrior/druid/priest/shaman and maybe exchange 1 for hunter/paladin
But for some reason i still don't feel like those war/priest/druid decks are best of meta.
There were some players who brought a zoolock to conquer the priests and some players brought highlander mage a few weekends in a row. The format is solved already, so that's a bummer though. Looks like an almost perfect tournament meta to me.
The one class missing is rogue. But almost in every world championship final line-up was a rogue deck present, so I don't mind that it's missing now.
They are still very strong. However Druid struggles very much against aggro decks which aren’t present in GM. Keep in mind that the GM meta differs from the ladder meta
Wow, only one different deck for each of them.
