The list was updated for United in Stormwind post-nerf meta (Patch 21.0.3) – but another balance update is announced for August 31, so we will probably have to do another update soon. Sorry about not writing full deck descriptions and leaving you with just deck lists – but it’s a lot of work and knowing that it will become irrelevant in a week makes it so much worse.
Our Hearthstone meta tier list ranks the top decks for United in Stormwind. We always try to include one of the best deck lists for each archetype. However, if you’re looking for an alternative, we also link archetype pages so you can check out different versions.

Meta Tier List Rankings
If you are curious what the absolute best decks are right now, here’s a list of them below. This list of deck rankings is based on various sources including Vicious Syndicate, HSreplay, as well as our own ladder experience. The provided decks are sample lists and aren’t always the only option when building for that particular archetype (for a full list of decks, click the link below description).

Why are you only posting the lists? There were descriptions and small analysis or thoughts on the decks before. It was interesting to read.
I’ll post descriptions when the meta stabilizes a bit. It takes quite a while to do a write-up about every single deck and it’s kind of a wasted effort if they e.g. announce a balance update tomorrow and whole meta changes.
I’m focusing on more important stuff like budget decks for now and then I’ll look into deck descriptions when I update it in 1-2 weeks 🙂
You did great job!)
This site isn’t top site about hearthstone BUT I like fresh clean look and always check decks here)
To many advertisement that the copy deck code don’t work
This has to be the most miserable meta in sometime. So many decks that feel horrible to play against. Bring on the mini-set.
Deck of lunacy still one of the deck card in spell mage and easy to play.. ppl just bored seeing maybe not include but i disagree
I love how Mankrik started off as a meme and now it has become one of if not the most played card in the current meta
“Help me find my wife!”
I am having fun playing with five classes now after the much appreciated nerfs. I still keep losing to Paladins. So annoying. Wish there was some counter. I just do not see the point of secrets. For Example: Not knowing counterspell is not fun. Checking for all the secrets every turn is so annoying. Oh my yog, rat trap1 makes the game un fun. There is actually no strategy involved in playing secrets. Secrets are very unfun mechanic.
I love the list but I’m surprised that midrange demon hunter doesn’t even make an appearance. DH is pretty much all that I play and midrange definitely feels very solid and that its up there with deathrattle. Did it not make the cut?
I’ve been playing the game for long, but I’ve never been and I’ll never be a Pro.
So said, I love Mage, but I can’t even reach Gold 5 at the moment.
Fun fact, I’ve lost most of the matches in which I got Lunacy, as I’ve been unlucky enough to get bad spells.
I haven’t find Shaman, nor Hunter.
Only once a Druid, and, after that,
Warlock a lot
Mage very close
Demon Hunter and Paladin
Priests a few
At gold 5 it doesn’t really matter which deck you play, trust me. It’s all about your gameplay.
No warrior, feels sad man.
Warrior went from one of the best classes to worst class in the current meta. I’m sure that things will change, but right now the class is doing very poorly.
I actually miss priest right now. I know people hate it but non rez priest is actually ok.
In the section of the Libram Paladin, it says that Taelan Fordring draws Libram of Hope, but Taelan doesn’t draw spells, does it?
read that wrong, nevermind
You read right, they have change and fixed very fast 😀
You were right 🙂 It’s just that someone pointed it out to me on Discord and I fixed it soon after posting, but then it might take some time to update.
Hmmm…. I am considering crafting deck of lunacy. That sounds fun, but a weird meta…
The deck is very, very fun to play, but I’m like 99% sure it will get nerfed and not sure if Lunacy will be the one targeted (there are other ways to nerf it – Incanter’s Flow, Refreshing Spring Water), so do it at your own risk.
I’m not that expert, but a nerf should be fine because how strong is a deck, rather than how popular?
It’s not that strong, and I may have been very unlucky, but it’s not the one I’ve played against the most
Standard tier list updated today. What a lucky time to check the site. 🙂
Pure paladin, no Yrel??
Registered after several years to say thanks for the great articles and guides…
And to say I installed an ad blocker because the autoplaying, screen-hogging ads on your site are intrusive on mobile.
I’ll gladly whitelist or uninstall if you sort your ad shit out.
Thank you for registering.
And I understand, I also use adblock on many websites. The issue is that with so many people using adblock, ads needed to get more intrusive to keep the website’s revenue. I’m really sorry about that, but sadly that’s not up to me 🙁 But I’ll try to talk about it with the marketing department at the company again.
Hey man, i love your site, love hearthstone as well, what is your business modell?
Thank you. Just like most of the websites, we’re making money solely through the ads if that’s what you’re asking about.
