March of the Lich King Hearthstone Decks - Best Early Meta Builds From Pros & Streamers, Decks For All Classes

By Stonekeep - December 6, 2022

Update: It's been a week since the expansion's release, so it's about time to stop updating this post. I'm glad if you found it helpful. Sorry for adding fewer decks than usual, but I generally rely on people sharing them on social media in the first place and it's been a little bit dry this expansion. Of course, I'll keep posting new March of the Lich King decks daily. You can check them out in our latest decks categories - Standard & Wild

Welcome to the March of the Lich King decks roundup - in this post, we will feature the best-performing early meta builds from pro players & streamers. We'll try to add decks for all 11 classes, but it's hard to say whether every single class will be viable. This post will be constantly updated over the early expansion period (roughly the first 5-6 days). We also generally have compilations of best-performing decks in separate posts - one after ~24 hours and the second one a couple days later. So if you want something to base your early crafting decisions on, that would be your best choice (it's still not a guarantee that those decks will remain viable, but it's better than nothing).

March of the Lich King is the third expansion of the Year of the Hydra (2022). While it doesn't come with any rotation, it's the biggest release in the history of post-launch Hearthstone, with 203 new cards added to the game at the same time. That's because we're getting a brand new playable class - Death Knight. New class is a big deal in Hearthstone, and assuming that it will be viable (it looks like it will from the early playtesting), it will shake up the meta in a major way. Since DK is a new class, we expect most people trying it out on Day 1, so you might see more DK decks than decks for other classes.

If you weren't with us during the reveal season, you can learn more about the expansion and see all the new cards in our March of the Lich King expansion guide.

Once the expansion launches, we give streamers some time to open packs and create the decks, then start posting. During the first couple of days, we aren't very picky - we have no win rate statistics so early into the set, so we can't sift through the bad decks. Around Day 3, we generally tend to stop posting everything and focus on high win rate decks or decks that achieved high Legend placements. As meta forms, decks become more refined and it's getting clear which builds are good and which aren't.

If this isn't your first expansion then this is obvious, but be very wary of decks early in the expansion. A deck can be popular one day and then turn out to be really bad. This has happened multiple times in the past, and most likely will happen to at least one or two decks this expansion too. If you are a budget player, we recommend holding off for at least a few days (and preferably until the first balance patch) before committing to crafting anything. Spending Dust on hyped Legendaries on Day 1 is a very common mistake, and can leave you without the means to craft the actual meta Legendaries after everything settles.
