![]() Sigil of Alacrity and Need for Greed are really solid card draws – Sigil in particular was used in pretty much every single Demon Hunter deck, as it was a good T1 play and later a great way to end a turn without floating 1 mana.Īnd finally – Kurtrus, Demon-Render has been consistently one of the strongest Hero cards from Alterac Valley. They are going to have a pretty rough time in the new expansion, but luckily their refill cards ( Magnifying Glaive, Sightless Magistrate) are still staying in. You could often deal 20+ damage out of nowhere, and even if your spells didn’t hit correctly you usually at the very least cleared a big chunk of your opponent’s board + hit them in the face for a bunch of damage.Īggressive decks are also losing some solid cards like Dreadprison Glaive, Metamorfin and Battleworn Vanguard. Since most of the Fel spells were good by themselves, Jace has been an incredible late game bomb. Fel package was so good that it was slapped onto many decks. Jace has been a staple Demon Hunter finisher in any combo/burn deck. The biggest loss by far is Fel package – Jace Darkweaver, Fury (Rank 1) and Fel Barrage. But while it doesn’t lose A LOT of cards, it loses some really key pieces. Part 3 – Priest, Shaman, Rogue, Warlock, Warriorĭemon Hunter gets through this rotation pretty alright compared to some other classes.Part 2 – Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin.If I forgot about a certain card, let me know in the comments and I’ll reconsider it. Yes, the definition leaves some wiggle room, but I’ve tried my best to include cards that will be most missed from the standpoint of post-rotation Standard format. I also didn’t include cards that were played in the past, but become unplayable after some synergies already rotated out or they got nerfed. Then I excluded cards that were only played in meme/off-meta decks that were never viable. ![]() I obviously excluded straight-up bad cards or cards that never got enough synergy to be playable. Cards that have seen a decent amount of meta play, were key to certain archetypes’ existence, or are just good standalone cards that would probably still see play after rotation. In this article (or to be more precise a series of three articles), I will showcase some of the most important cards that are rotating out. Those cards disappearing means that multiple archetypes will cease to exist, which should, in turn, create space for new decks to rise up. Among them, there are a lot of staples that we’ve seen in meta decks since their release. This time we’re losing all of the 2021 expansions and their mini-sets, as well as 73 cards from the Core Set – a total of 583 cards will now be only playable in Wild. We’ll see.īelow, you will find a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement.Year of the Hydra is coming to an end – next week, it will be replaced by Year of the Wolf. Standard rotation is always a massive event, its impact on the meta can’t be overstated. I hope that the upcoming balance changes make some room for your classic Control decks or even slower Midrange builds. So in the end, Combo decks got partially pushed out and we ended up in this kind of weird meta where doing anything slower might land some wins against the likes of Face Hunter and Handbuff Paladin, but is a nearly sure loss against Questline Warlock or Questline Mage. Compared to my all-time average game length of 9.1 turns, the meta is definitely faster – of course, it’s only my personal sample size, but the difference is quite big.Įarly meta was mostly dominated by Questline-based Combo decks, but then Aggro / faster Midrange builds gained a lot of ground as they work really well against Combo builds. While I don’t mind it and have a lot of fun, my average game’s length is 7.7 turns, even though I played most of the meta decks (both fast & “slow”). ![]() And there’s definitely something about it. they perform their game plan and you can’t really do much to play around it, disrupt it etc.) and how fast it is. The biggest complaint is about “solitaire” decks (decks with little interaction, e.g. I was pretty sure that we’re going to get a balance update earlier this week, but as it turned out, it was officially scheduled for early next week (Tuesday is the most likely date since that’s when the patches usually come out).Īs for the meta itself, players seem to have very mixed feelings about it. Welcome to Stormwind! This is our first compilation of top Legend decks from the expansion.
