Ashes of Outland Meta Decks - The Pros Edition
The best place to get the best decks is to see what the pros are playing. We dug around our twitter timeline looking for decks and found this selection for you. Some of these will obviously be better for ladder climbing than others but they have all performed well in competitive situations, be that tournaments or the top of the ladder.
If we had limited our selection to only the most viable decks then this list would have just been Demon Hunter, Warlock and Druid decks. Obviously many people play other decks too, and have had measures of success, so we included them too. Here's what we have:
Demon Hunter
Both of these Demon Hunter decks came from Orange, who had been playing nothing but Demon Hunter since release until forced to play other classes for Tournaments over the weekend. He used both these decks to get and maintain high legend rank, even claiming the no.1 spot multiple times with the OTK deck.

Warlock
With Demon Hunter shaping the meta it gave rise to a counter that is at times stronger than the thing it is supposed to be countering in the first place: Galakrond Warlock. We saw 2 people claim a no. 1 Rank with this deck, TechnoGoose and Windello. There was also a Zoo list that XiaoT used together with a DH deck to help claim a no.1 rank.

Druid
To round out the current Top 3 of imbalanced classes, there's Druid, in particular Spell Druid. This Deck list is still being heavily refined so here are 4 slightly different versions from 4 pro players: Feno, BoarControl, Meati and Orange!

A fun to play deck, Zeddy managed top 100 Legend with this Spell Mage deck.

Warrior
Lastly, we have this Egg Warrior deck from NoHandsGamer, which should really be called "Risky Skipper Warrior". He has a long YouTube video explaining his choices and how to approach playing it and he admits in the intro that this is a difficult deck to play right. But he managed Top 5 Legend rank with it, so it's definitely got some juice!

Posted Apr 14, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)play some shaman, w silence and hex. tech a card like swarm of murlocs or the guy that summons 1 drops for the opponent. that will mess with there Rez pool.
Priest struggles vs midrange pressure. U could Try Mage too. Conjurers calling is insane on an early twilight Dragon, keeping board control and pressure.
Theres always a counter to a deck. Experiment and you will find a way!!
Good luck.

Posted Apr 14, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)I'm a casual player, been playing since ungoro. Playing in silver and all I see is Res priest, Rez Priest, Quest Rez priest and demon hunter. Really frustrating to play against. I don't have any luck with my galakrond lock decks. And also struggling with my spell druid and face hunter decks.
Not really tempted to continue declining on the ladder

Posted Apr 14, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)What is your star bonus? If it's let's say 3, you don't decline if you lose 3 games and win one. So you just need a win rate a little bit over 25% to climb...

Posted Apr 14, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)I've played a lot of highlander Priest this season with Galakrond but no Invoke cards. It's all about value. Priest has little to no card draw and relies on card generation to not run out of fuel. Galakrond does that as Priest now has something to play each turn. On average Priest has some pretty decent minions - including some minions that can swing a game for you.
The single removal is also decent against a lot of classes, so you don't have to dilute your deck with sup-optimal cards to get a big board clear.

Posted Apr 14, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)can confirm, its all about the value vs Mage, Druid or Warlock. Galakrond wins you control Matchups.
and btw 7 Mana Destroy 1 Minion and gain 5 Armor i still good by its own + Value every single turn.
You rly dont need a single invoke card to make this card good and this is funny, cause after Release people thought its the weakest of all Galakronds (wich was true), but now Priest got a new and much better Minion Pool + Priest Galakrond ist the ONLY Galakrond wich is still good without any support card.

Posted Apr 13, 2020 (Outland DH Nerfs)It's obviously impossible to track all of the internet and twitter, but we did indeed see no Paladin decks from people competing at high ranks.
We did see some Shaman decks and a Hunter deck, but they were either not top 100 legend ranked or did not come with any rank indication at all. You can find them here (I did not enter these decks on the site (yet)):
