Top Standard Legend Decks From Rastakhan's Rumble - Week 8 (January 2019)
By Stonekeep -

Meta hasn't changed much compared to last week. Between all of the HCT Play-Offs happening lately, pros have been mostly busy with preparations, playtesting the currently known good archetypes and such. Also, given that Top 100 Wild players from each region will fight for their spot in the Wild Open tournament, a lot of the pros have switched over to the eternal format until end of January. Still, we've got some interesting decks, be sure to check them out!

It is a shame that Hearthstone is suck a poor game... thousands of decks to play, but only 10 work... its sad...

Troll detected lol.
This meta has one of the biggest varieties of decks since i play Hearthstone.
Take a look at some metastats and check the winrate of some archetypes. There are about 20 different decks with a winrate above 50%. Even a deck below that, can reach some ranks just by practice. If you are looking for ladder you can even choose any tier 2 deck to climb. You always have some bad matchups, but overall, if you practiced your deck/matchups/mulligans well, you can reach rank 5+ or even Legend, with a simple tier 2 deck, just by playing it well.
Only 10 decks working? You have to explain your conclusion. Cause it doesnt make any sense!
You only see some decks from some elite gamers who are playing the most popular decks, bringing them to legend cause a) they play a shit ton of games per day b) they play hearthstone for living and c) they can even improve a popular decklist by themself only by experience.
Brian Kibler reached legend last season with a Ultimate Evolution Deck with KragWa, not really competive at all. And this season he reached legend with Elemental Mage. Also not the best deck out there, but if well played really strong.
So please, think first, than write.

You've described every card game ever. You have thousands of possibilities, but only a few actually work.
Heck, not only card games - games in general. Let's say MOBAs, even though some have a hundred Heroes/Champions/Whatever, realistically only a bunch of them works competitively.
