![]() ![]() Lorekeeper Polkelt remains a staple in Highlander Priest, but the increased cost means that it will take a bit longer to find your Raza and Spawn of Shadows.Įven with a reworked core, Darkglare Warlock is immorally strong. Aggro Druid becomes a bit weaker with the Voracious Reader change, but the card is now a possible inclusion in decks like Odd Demon Hunter. The recent balance changes have made a small but noticeable impact on the meta. The ones that survive are the ones able to do so. This isn’t anything unexpected as the meta gets faster and more developed, slow decks need to be much more resilient to reach their win conditions. If you’re looking for completely new decks, then Control Tickatus Warlock and OTK Warrior are performing better than expected, while Silas Mill Druid and Secret Hunter haven’t lived up to the hype. ![]() The rise of Big Priest, for example, paved the way for Malygos Druid to come back, while simultaneously hampering Odd Paladin’s performance. This skewed playrate has led to some decks performing better than others. Novel decks are naturally overplayed due to being new (or having an existing fanbase, like Big Priest). However, they still have strong influences over the meta. These decks have all gotten fairly substantial upgrades from Darkmoon Faire, but weren’t able to sneak into Tier 1 since they weren’t very strong before the expansion. There is a crop of ‘new’ decks sneaking up the ranks that is, if one can call Secret Highlander Mage, Big Priest, Odd Demon Hunter, and Aggro Rogue new. These decks win games very effectively, and with the case of the top Tier 1 decks, they’re also very difficult to counter. All of these decks have gotten at least one slight upgrade to keep them where they are for another cycle. Highlander Priest, Darkglare Warlock, and Aggro Druid remains the trifecta at the top, defeating each other in a rock-paper-scissor fashion. Most of the top decks didn’t change much due to the slight upgrades they got, and the newer ones are nowhere near powerful enough to topple the top dogs off their places. If classes share the same score, the class with more top decks will be ranked higher.ĭarkmoon Faire isn’t as powerful a set as Scholomance Academy is, and this has certainly reflected in the state of the meta. ![]() Therefore, a class can be placed highly on the Ranking system based on one (or both) of these elements: having a few strong decks (deck power) or having many decks (class diversity). For example, if Odd Paladin is High Tier 1 and has a multiplier of 12, it will bring the class an additional 216 points. The highest multiplier is 12 and the lowest is 7. The point system for rating a single deck is as below:Įach deck is also assigned a popularity ranking and a respective coefficient multiplier based on its popularity. Within each tier, decks are categorized to either High tier, Mid tier or Low tier to further differentiate their power level.įor Meta Ranking analysis, we allocate points to each deck from Tier 0 to Tier 3 then sum them up. Highly-optimised decks with extreme raw power that are very well positioned in the meta.Ĭompetitive decks that are not as well-rounded, but can snatch games off of Tier 1 decks or prey on their direct counters.įringe decks that can succeed in the right meta, but are either suboptimal or outdated.ĭecks at a weaker power level that require an extensive understanding to be able to pilot well, but are not recommended for ladder experience.ĭecks that aren’t typically played for the purpose of climbing ladder, but still have a decent enough presence to be included in the report. You either play it or play decks that can beat it. We then collect the result, standardize and categorize them in 4 different Tiers. ![]() We collected our experts’ opinions through a spreadsheet, where our Top Wild legend players will rate the given decks with a corresponding score from 1 to 4 in increments of 0.5 (with 1 being top Tier 1 and 4 being bottom Tier 4). ![]()
