Warrior – Warlock – Priest – Paladin – Mage

Hunter – Demon Hunter – Rogue – Shaman – Druid

F.A.Q. – Datadecks

Questline Warrior reigns supreme in the Wild format, coming in with an unbelievable 60.7% winrate over more than 2800 recorded games. Despite nearly every Warrior playing the Questline Warrior archetype the winrates don’t seem affected. With yet another nerf coming to the Warlock Archetype it looks like Questline Warrior may become the new nuisance deck of the format, as Warlock is the only remaining “weak” matchup.

Despite nerf after nerf, and another nerf being on the horizon for Warlock the Questline Warlock deck is far from gone. Interestingly the other Warlock Archetypes, like Even and Even Reno Warlock, continue to creep up slowly in both winrate and popularity. With over 7000 recorded games of Questline Warlock, compared to the combined ~900 games of the “Even” decks, there is a great opportunity for your opponents to make mistakes in their mulligan phase.

Surprisingly Shaman lost more in both winrate and popularity than Warlock did since our last report. The likely cause here is a shift in overall meta, where fewer people are surprised by both Murloc and Burn Shaman’s damage ranges. Overall, Shaman remains positioned quite well in the Wild meta, with three of its decks maintaining a solid winrate between 52.7% and 54.6%. 

Rogue continues its identity crisis in the Wild format as no deck manages to stick out above the remainder of archetypes. Unfortunately, Rogue currently has bad matchups across the board, struggling to find any archetype to target. The best performing Rogue archetypes are Kingsbane Rogue and Pillager Rogue, which largely pick up wins against the weaker decks in the format while stealing the occasional wins against Warlocks. 

Shadow Priest continues to fight as the more aggressive archetypes leave Priest’s historic archetypes in the dust. With strong matchups across the board, besides its matchup into the ever-popular Hunter archetypes, the Shadow Priest remains a solid pick in the current Wild Hearthstone meta. Both Shadow Priest’s winrate and play rate maintain strong, with almost 1900 recorded games and a 57.4% winrate. These stats place the archetype as the 4th most popular and sixth-best-performing deck in the format. A new candidate that recently gained popularity is Inner Fire Priest, a deck with which several Wild Hearthstone streamers decided to experiment. 

Despite seemingly being forgotten by most of the Wild format, Paladin is among the best performing classes once more. Especially its primary deck, Aggro Paladin, manages to maintain a winrate of 60.4% over a ~650 game sample size. In addition, many other Paladin archetypes, like Questline, Even, Odd, and Libram Paladin, manage to maintain strong win rates throughout the United in Stormwind balance updates. Give these decks a try. Uther deserves more love than what the community gives him. 

After one of the Mage class’ best cards, Incanter’s Flow, received a significant nerf, the meta wasn’t looking good for Mage in the Wild format. However, as the dust settles, two Mage archetypes remain standing and are showing signs of life. Secret and Ignite Mage both maintain a winrate of over 50% over a sample of games of just over ~2100 combined. While Mage has a long way to go before being among the contenders in the Wild format, the class is far from out. 

The Hunter class continues to perform with two archetypes, Questline Odd Hunter and Even Hunter, finding themselves among the top ten best performing decks. Questline Odd Hunter especially has no signs of stopping anytime soon, finding itself at #3 in both popularity and performance in the Wild Hearthstone format. Two of the less popular archetypes, Even Hunter and Face Hunter, perform well but require more testing to prove themselves. However, the current decklists are showing significant promise. 

Edit: The C’thun Hunter, using the interaction between C’thun and Maxima blastenheimer was bugfixed. As such the deck no longer works.

Druid continues to be one of the strangest archetypes in the current Wild format. With Warlock, Paladin, Hunter, and Priest all having standout aggressive decks, Druid just continues to do its own thing and succeed. While Druid’s aggressive archetype, Questline Odd Druid, looks good with its 53.4% win rate, there is a better performing and more popular Druid archetype. Malygos Celestial Druid, sometimes referred to as Combo Druid, maintains a win rate of 55.7% while being more than seven times as popular as the aggressive archetypes. 

Honestly, Demon Hunter isn’t going to be performing better anytime soon. With almost 1000 recorded Demon Hunter matches, the class sits at an overall win rate of only 37.3%. The two primary archetypes of Demon Hunter, Aggro and Odd, follow the path of most other classes where they try and high roll their opponents with a fast, aggressive archetype. However, due to the class’ lack of cards, other classes just do better at whatever Illidan tries to achieve.
