With the nerfs arriving later today we decided to take a look at how the Wild meta may change if we remove Questline Warlock from the meta. Gerben, the guy behind all of these things, used the last two weeks of data from FirestoneApp to compare what decks stand to gain the most from removing Questline Warlock from their match history. While that likely won’t result in an accurate new meta prediction, it’s interesting to see how certain less popular decks might be able to make their comeback.
As we use the data from the past two weeks of Wild Hearthstone games, none of the upcoming nerfs and buffs are accounted for. As such, a deck like Questline Warrior gains far more than the stats may suggest due to the buffs to several strong Pirate tools.

In the table above we have the win rates of the most popular Wild Hearthstone decks if we removed all games with The Demon Seed. Certain decks like Questline Warrior, and the Even Warlock archetypes become more powerful. Where decks like the aggressive Rogue lists, and Ignite Mage lose a significant amount of strength by losing their favorable matchup into Questline Warlock.
15 Wild archetypes worth trying in the post-balance update meta (Sep.21)
Below are the lists of the 15 best performing archetypes in a meta without Questline Warlock (based on the past two weeks’ data – as such it does not include the new buffs, nerfs, and changes.).
Besides the most popular decks, some decks you may be familiar with also see changes in their win rate which are worth keeping in mind to play after today’s Hearthstone balance update comes into effect.
The three most notable archetypes include Questline Odd Warrior, the far less popular build of Pirate Warrior. Handbuff Paladin, Luna’s Pocket Galaxy Mage, and Reno Priest. Despite the current small sample sizes, these archetypes are likely to see more play in the coming weeks.
Since there are far too many changes to accurately predict the upcoming Hearthstone meta, we hope the article gives you some ideas of what to play next. The next Datadecks is coming soon, so be on the lookout! For the latest Datadecks, visit acegameguides.com/Datadecks.
