Best Twist Season 1 (Wonders) Decks, Legend Decks For The New Hearthstone Game Mode

By: Stonekeep - - Updated:

Update: A big patch (27.4.2) has just dropped with a lot of balance changes, including nerfs and buffs targeting Twist specifically. We’ll give players some time to test the patch and try to post some new decks soon!

The first official season of Twist has just started! A new mode first released into Beta back in June is now back in full swing. It’s the first major addition to Hearthstone since Mercenaries (which, looking back at it, was a mostly failed experiment). The idea behind Twist is that the format will rotate every couple of seasons (or even every season), changing the list of available expansions, possibly with some extra rules.

We’ve also learned that Caverns of Time – the new straight-to-Wild expansion – will be available in Twist for the next three seasons (it doesn’t meant that they are going to be the same, just that all of them will include CoT set).

Current Twist Format – Wonders

Current Twist format is called “New Age” and it’s really simple. It has no special rules other than deck building restrictions. It’s a bit like “Classic+”, since it takes the oldest Hearthstone expansions and lets players use cards from all of them. Here’s a full list of sets you can build your Twist decks with:

  • Legacy (not Core or Classic)
  • Curse of Naxxramas
  • Goblins vs Gnomes
  • Blackrock Mountain
  • The Grand Tournament
  • The League of Explorers
  • Whispers of the Old Gods
  • One Night in Karazhan
  • Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
  • Caverns of Time

The mode has just launched so we don’t have a lot of decks yet. I’ll be adding more over the course of the season, so check abck regularly! Decks are sorted by date, those on the top are the latest and on the bottom are the oldest.

    Apparently Gadgetzan IS part of the format, but Sword Eater is from Darkmoon, and THAT set is not part of Twist Wonders

    Sword Eater doesn’t exist in my card pool anymore … I was able to build (and play) decks with him, but since yesterday, the card is red in existing deck lists and is not available in the Warrior card pool anymore.

    Moreover, some cards are shown weirdly in the collection.. Acolyte of Pain, for example, is shown 3 times: 2 normal (Core Set), 2 golden (Core Set) and the 2 golden copies I own, which are marked ‘banned’.

    Blizzard still a small indie company, it seems.

      I don’t know for the other cards, but for sword eater
      “Fixed a bug where Sword Eater was playable in Twist, even though it is not in one of the legal expansions for this season”.

    Thanks for the decks lists but i don’t know what’s wrong because all the decks code are failing to import into the game. HS doesnt detect the code as it should be usually inside your collection. Maybe because they rushed the Twist mode into the game and something is broken.

    I tested import of standard deck list and it’s working so it’s really only the Twis mode import who doesn’t work !

      I can import the Paladin and Hunter decks that do not include any of the brand-new cards from Caverns. I also cannot get the others to work.

      Thanks for the report, I sort of fixed it! They still import as Wild, but you can convert them to Twist with one button.

        Thanks ! Now i could import all the decks but some cant work even after the conversion into Twist because some cards are in red like for exemple in the war control : acolyte of pain or fiery axe.

        How is it possible this cards are banned in twits if the player made it legend with this list ?

          Sorry, I think deck codes might contain wrong version of the card. The cards on our website are prioritizing Core version and Core is not available in Twist.

          But it can be fixed by taking those cards out of the deck, searching for them and adding them back in.

          I’ll try to do something about deck codes but it’s hard with so many different formats and the fact that Twist will have different expansions every month :/

            You know what is more a shame from Blizzard ? I spent some golds on Caverns of Time packs and i got a lot of copy of cards i aleady have (example Jade Behemoth from Gadgetzan) so it mean they gave me new copy of cards that i already have but they replaced the old cards by by the new cards. The old cards completely diseappeared in my collection and i don’t get dust or any compensation for that tt’s a total scam !

    No explanation within Hearthstone what rules the Season 1 Twist format has?

    And why on earth is there no filter for Caverns of Time? That way, it’s superdifficult to craft some of the cards if you don’t want to ‘massbuy’ the set… best thing I found is to filter for missing cards in Twist…

    Very poorly executed imho.

      The in-game filter for Caverns of Time is at the top of the Wild expansions. You need to scroll down a bit from the Standard expansions. There have been some display bugs with Caverns reprints though, there are cases where you cannot see them – also in crafting view – if you own exactly one copy of the reprint and two copies of the original.

        Thanks for pointing that out – although I could swear I looked it up and the expansion button wasn’t there a few days ago …

        And it seems I’m too dumb to use the filters – After filtering for ‘Caverns’ ‘missing’ with checked boxes ‘Normal – Missing’ and ‘Premium – Owned’, lots of golden wild cards I own aren’t shown (all the Shaman Jade cards, for example).

        Ah well, I did it the other way round and checked which cards are played in Wild, then crafted some of those.
