Descent of Dragons Meta Decks - The Best of the End of 2019
Today we bring you the best decks to mop up the last of 2019 with (and to start 2020 with too!).
It took a week for the meta to really shift into the new reality, but it's definitely true now: Shaman is no longer the deck to beat nor the deck the meta revolves around.
We saw the beginning of it last week with the surge of Resurrect Priest and it continued from there: The meta has changed and it is MUCH more diverse now, as diverse as we can remember it being in a good while.
The current meta is mostly a question of rock-paper-scissors. You can play any of these decks with much success, but you are going to have weaker match ups, and depending on which decks you run into, you may have to adjust to a deck that beats those decks, especially if your local rank meta is going against the decks you are currently playing.
One thing did not change much yet, it's still a very fast meta. There are signs that change might be coming however, we mentioned Rez Priest, but Handlock is creeping up too. In a diverse meta, you never know what will happen next.
On to the decks!
Do what you want, cause a Pirate is free
If there is anything in this current meta that you could call "the deck to beat" it's probably Pirate Warrior. But even Pirate Warrior has its share of match ups it struggles with.

The New Kid on the Block
One of the decks Pirate Warrior struggles with is Mech Paladin. It goes wide and it buffs itself and it can do amazing 2TKs if you leave the wrong mech on board.

No Fun Police
If the fast decks are working on your nerves, then this is the deck for you. No fun allowed.

Running out of Face Hunters
Galakrond Shaman brought in Face Hunter, which in turn brought in Rez Priest. Both of the former are starting to get lower numbers, which might mean that Rez Priest is going to start suffering soon too.

There must always be....a Zoolock
Harder to eradicate than a cockroach, there's seemingly always a Zoolock deck that's pretty good. That is not changing in this fast meta, that's for sure.

There Can Be Only One (Hunter)!
...and it's not Face Hunter. Face Hunter was the perfect deck against Shaman, but with Shaman numbers thinning Face Hunter became an easy target for all the other decks, which left Secret Highlander Hunter as the only one left standing. *lightning crash*

Slower meta in 2020? Not very likely but one can hope...
