The play style for this deck is pretty simple. Anyone who played Hearthstone on ranked ladder over the past 6 months knows the dominating year that Odd Paladin had. The king of rush down remains strong during week one of the expansion, and unfortunately it doesn’t even boast any new cards. Throw in a classic pirate mainstay like Southsea Captain and you’ll have a hearty crew that even Jack Sparrow would be afraid to bargain with. The deck is littered with Pirates like Cutthroat Buccaneer and Sharkfin Fan that affect your weapon, making your heroes attacks more difficult to deal with. Pair this with cards like the new Rogue Legendary Captain Hooktusk and you can see why players have decided to combine the weapon and pirate playstyles.Ĭaptain Hooktusk is an eight cost 6/3 with a battlecry that summons three pirates from your deck and gives them rush. Raiding Party is a new rogue spell that allows you to draw 2 pirates from your deck, and if you play it as a combo you also get to draw a weapon.

This is another deck that was already pretty strong and received quite a boost from RastaKhan’s Rumble. If you prefer to play Hearthstone from the shadows and surprise your opponent with stabby dagger attacks, look no further than the new iteration of Kingsbane Rogue. Expect to see various iterations of Odd Mage playing these core cards for a good while.

Ragnaros the Firelord can’t attack, but he deals a whopping eight damage to a random enemy each turn, making it easy to chunk your opponent’s health to zero once you’ve cleared their board. Combine that with the buff you receive from Baku and you’ve got a recipe for devastation. Its battlecry allows you to summon Ragnaros the Firelord, provided you dealt eight damage with your hero power this game. The primary new card that has made this deck so powerful is the mage Legendary Jan’alai, the Dragonhawk. For Mage, Baku makes your hero power deal one extra damage. As long as your deck only has odd cost cards, Baku buffs your hero power at the start of the game. Since this is Odd Mage, you’ll be running Baku The Mooneater, a card most players will be familiar with from this past metas Odd Paladin domination. Plus, most Mage players probably already have a good amount of the cards needed to make it, as it primarily focuses on board control until its ready to pop off. The deck is very good at doing damage and controlling the board. If you spent the first few days of the expansion watching any Hearthstone on Twitch, you’ve probably seen your favorite streamer playing against Odd Mage over and over again. This means you’ll constantly be shuffling a copy of Da Undatakah into your deck and re-summoning all of your taunt minions anytime Da Undatakah dies. Da Undatakah has a Battlecry that cause it to gain the Deathrattle effects of three friendly minions that died earlier in the game. When you combine both of these cards with Da Undatakah, you get an infinite loop of taunt minions. The deck also includes Astral Tiger, a four cost 3/5 with a Deathrattle that causes you to shuffle a copy of it into your deck. Hadronox is a nine cost 3/7 who’s Deathrattle summons all your Taunt Minions that died this game. With Taunt Druid, you want to amass as many strong Taunt minions throughout the game as possible, and then re-summon them using Hadronox. The basis of Undatakah Druid is very similar to Taunt Druid and it could be considered a Taunt Druid deck at its core. With high value Deathrattle cards like Hadronox, many speculated Undatakah would find a place in druid when the card was initially revealed.ĭavid “Dog” Caero took Undatakah Druid to Rank one legend this week, and since then it’s starting seeing more and more play on ladder. It will come as no surprise to many players that Da Undatakah has found a home in Taunt Druid. Imagine this deck being the spellhunter you’re used to playing, but multiply that by two. The primary addition to the deck is Zul’Jin, a 10-cost hero card with a battlecry that recasts every spell you’ve played so far. Spellhunter is very similar to its previous iteration and is probably the most affordable Hunter deck for that reason. While most classes only have one strong deck archetype that seems to have true staying power, Hunter players may have already discovered two. Hunter players are undoubtedly having a fantastic time on ladder this week.

Keep this in mind when deciding how to spend your dust. The list for these decks will likely undergo heavy transformation in the coming weeks. Though we’re only slightly over a week into Rhastakhan’s Rumble, there are already a few decks that seem to be pulling ahead of the pack. With the launch of Rhastakhan’s Rumble, we can expect the meta to change rapidly and frequently until the top players have time to figure out exactly which decks deserve to be called dominant. Grab some marshmallows and come take a seat by the fire, it’s new Hearthstone expansion time, ladies and gents.
