We have selected 3 decks for Hearthstone that will prepare you well for the launch of “Rise of Shadows”.
With the launch of a new expansion of Hearthstone, there are not only 135 new cards, but also some problems. Many of the old decks no longer work because some cards have been retired. Therefore, new decks are needed. Especially at the launch of an expansion, one often feels uninspired and doesn’t quite know what to play.
To ensure you have a successful start and can immediately put your new cards into play, we present you with 3 promising decks that should work well in the first few days after the launch.
To use the decks, simply copy the code that appears behind “Deck list”. The game will then automatically assemble the appropriate deck for you.
1. Shaman Deck: [RoS] Control Fatigue Value Shaman
Code for the deck list: AAECAaoIEJAHp+4CnvAC7/cCmfsCl4ADoIADioUDwYkD7IkD84oDipQDuZkDvZkDxZkDhp0DB4oB9QT+Bf8F6voCrZEDlZQDAA==
Dust cost: 17,600
The player Ontes has taken the Control Shaman deck from the last expansion and enhanced it with many valuable cards from “Rise of Shadows”.
With a cost of 17,600 Arcane Dust, the deck is quite expensive as it contains many legendary minions.
This is how the deck is played: The deck is well equipped to prolong games. In the early turns, you focus on preventing the opponent from building a board through control effects. Spells like “Hagatha’s Plan” or “Stormstorm” help with this.
Later on, the deck can score points with strong combinations and simply draw more value from the remaining cards and their powerful Battlecries. For example, Krag’wa can return all the spells from the previous turn to hand, or Barista Mel can even create new copies of the Battlecry minions. Most decks are unlikely to have an answer to this in the late game.
2. Hunter Deck: KRIPP Jepetto Spell Hunter
Code for the deck list: AAECAR8GtAPc7gKbhQPjiwP7lgPanQMMqAK1A+0GpvACoIUDoooDsIsD5pYD6JYDnp0D/6YDgacDAA==
Dust cost: 9,900
The Hunter deck from pro player Kripparian is significantly cheaper in cost and has a clear playstyle aimed at ruthlessly destroying the opponent. This deck relies on many spells and very few minions. With dust costs under 10,000, the deck is also relatively “cheap” to craft.
This is how the deck is played: Unlike many other Hunter decks, this variant does not focus on a clear “rush”, although that may also succeed. The real strength unfolds only from turn 8, when the hunter can play the minion “Jepetto Funbringer”. This card gives the player in this deck a Malygos for only 1 mana, but with stats of only 1/1. However, its “Spell Damage +5” is the key point.
This allows many spells, such as Rapid Fire (1 damage for 1 mana, Twinspell), to turn into devastating attacks that deal 6 damage for 1 mana – thanks to Twinspell, even another time. With this and other attack spells, the enemy’s health points should melt away quickly, enabling some “One Turn Kill” combos that can overwhelm an unsuspecting opponent.
3. Priest Deck: [Rise of Shadows] Resurrect Priest
Code for the deck list: AAECAa0GBMv4AqCAA4uKA5ObAw3lBPIMgvcC5fcCof4Cl4cD5ogD0okD75IDgpQDmJsDmZsDz50DAA==
Dust cost: 9,440
From player NanaKwame comes a variation of the popular Resurrect Priest. This version uses only a few cards from the new set, but those may have a significant impact and frustrate many opponents. The deck is very strong but vulnerable to Silence effects.
This is how the deck is played: The deck is based on making the troll “The Gravekeeper” nearly immortal through clever combinations of the Deathrattle effects. The new card “Incomprehensible Scoundrel” is helpful here. It has a Deathrattle effect that allows it to be summoned back if it has at least 4 attack. The catch is that the Gravekeeper can copy this effect. Since the Gravekeeper already has attack by default, the activation of the Deathrattle is virtually guaranteed.
If the player manages to let multiple copies of the Incomprehensible Scoundrel die before playing the Gravekeeper, the troll copies this effect multiple times. This results in the board soon being flooded with trolls.
Other new cards, such as “Catrina Muerte”, summon even more deceased minions, and the “Cloaked Spy” ensures that enemy minions do not gain the upper hand beforehand.
What do you think of these three decks? Will you try them out right away? Or will you wait a few days and then decide what you want to play?
