If you’ve been looking for something different, take a look at our Off-Meta Report and really shake things up with these decks, all of which have been making waves in the rank of Legend!

To find these decks, we looked for players that have been doing well, and picked out some builds from amongst the top performers. We only selected decks that were played in 50 or more games at Legend level.

Even Mech Hunter – 61.7% win rate

This Hunter deck takes a unique approach of only including Even-cost cards to gain a cheaper Hero Power. It utilizes Mechs alongside cards that deal direct face damage to accelerate the game to a quick conclusion. If the aggressive game plan fails, Deathstalker Rexxar is available to ensure a powerful late-game.

Tempo Priest – 61.0% win rate

This Priest deck excludes popular options such as Duskbreaker, Psychic Scream, and Shadowreaper Anduin in favor of cheaper, more aggressive minions. Lightwarden allows for surprise kills, while Shadow Ascendant and Extra Arms provide health buffs to minions in the mid-game. Argent Commander and Mind Blast are on standby for you to finish your opponent off even if you lose control of the board.

Aggro Shaman – 59.0% win rate

Take advantage of powerful Overload synergies and burn spells with this Aggro Shaman deck. Unlike the more popular Even Shaman archetype, this Shaman deck packs a ton of 1-cost minions for taking the board in the early game. Unbound Elemental and Thunderhead offer powerful payouts for playing Overload cards, netting you the lead and allowing you to finish your opponent off with Doomhammer and Lava Bursts.
