Let’s hope things get better next week.īelow, you will find a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement. We also tried to post less of those and focus on other builds, but those were few and far between. The amount of decks posted today is actually pretty low for so early into the expansion… but the truth is that many players didn’t want to post their builds online if they hit high Legend with Spell Mage or Paladin, because, well, everyone plays them, everyone knows them and people don’t care. Nerfing those two will allow other decks to thrive and finally get a more diverse meta. Even the worst ones are close to 50/50, the deck has no counters. Libram version has basically no bad matchups. As much as Spell Mage is really fun to play (it honestly is, otherwise Paladin would be the one with higher play rate), it’s not fun to face. Good news is that there’s a balance update coming “early next week”, which will hopefully answer the current problems and make the meta more playable again. And Aggro Rogue is okay-ish mostly because of the popularity of Mage – it turns out that building a deck that ignores the board and hits face with weapons is a good idea against a class that doesn’t really put pressure and doesn’t have a good way of stopping weapons. Miracle Rogue looks really strong, but it’s currently outshined by Paladin and Mage. If we talk about third best class, that would probably be Rogue. Right now it dropped down (29% average, peaks at 35% in some ranks), mostly because players target it heavily, but it’s still way more than it should be. At one point, it had nearly 40% of popularity in higher ranks. And this time, its play rate is astonishingly high. Mage, Spell Mage in particular, is weaker than Paladin, but still Tier 1. Welcome to the second Edition of Team WildSide’s Wild Meta Snapshot for 2021 In this meta report, we will be going through a tier list of 64 decks we’ve seen frequently on ladder, explain the method of computing the tier list, break down the meta and analyze the decks as detailed as they need to be. Paladin is by far the more powerful one, but interestingly enough it has a lower play rate. As of right now, it’s absolutely dominated by two classes – Paladin and Mage. Hope that it turns out to be fun!īelow, you will find a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement.Forged in the Barrens launched just over a week ago, and a meta has already formed… however, it’s not a meta we (or most of the players for the matter) wanted to see. But for now, we’ll focus our efforts on Onyxia’s Lair mini-set. We’ll soon get into our predictions about expansion, core set, what cards we would like to see and so on. Long story short, things are going to get exciting. Devs have previously said that they plan to rotate around 1/3 of the Core Set yearly – but that’s still a whooping ~80 cards difference compared to what we have right now. Not all of those cards will be different, mind you. It was introduced back in 2021 and features 235 cards. 2022 will also be the year when Core Set changes for the first time. With three expansions + one mini-set out of the format (Ashes of Outland, Scholomance Academy, Darkmoon Faire, Darkmoon Races), a whole new expansion worth of cards, it’s going to be interesting. Rotation is coming soon, in just ~6-8 weeks, and those are always when the biggest meta changes happen. We’ll know that for sure in just a few days.īut after the mini-set releases – what’s there to be excited for next? I have some great news for you – if you play Standard, at least. Onyxia’s Lair includes a lot of cool card design, but is “cool” enough to survive in the current meta? I don’t think that a card like Kazakusan will be competitively viable (at least not yet), but I do think that many of the mini-set cards are good enough to see common play. Or, let me rephrase it – I bet that many of them will still be relevant, but no one can predict how the meta will shape. I won’t really get that much into what the meta currently is and how it has changed because a) it hasn’t changed much ever since last week and b) mini-set releases in just 2 days, so those decks will no longer be relevant for that long.
