Top Standard & Wild Legend Decks – Across the Timeways (Week 14) – February 2026

By: Stonekeep - - Updated:

As you’ve probably gathered over the last couple of weeks, the meta is quite stable right now and there aren’t any major shifts. So instead, I’ll focus on the big announcements from last week – Core Set rotation.

If you have missed it, the next Standard year will be called “Year of the Scarab” and, as usual, it comes with some Core changes. 70 cards are out of the free set and 70 other cards take their place, including 6 brand new ones. The new cards are kinda a mixed bag – they seem okay, but none of them particularly stand out as must-have. But, as always, it’s gonna depend heavily on the meta and the cards we get. For example, if Priest gets a Big/Resurrect deck, then Calia Menethil is probably going to work nicely. But if not, then she’s pretty useless. Same thing with Demon Hunter’s Tichondrius and Big Demons, but I guess that even if you don’t play it it will often be a good option from The Eternal Hold. You get the gist.

Hover, the more important and way more controversial part of the rotation is getting rid of multiple class staples. You can see the entire list here, but the two most discussed (and disputed) ones are certainly Rogue’s Shadowstep and Warrior’s Brawl. And unlike many players, I’m actually glad that they are rotating out, BUT… yes, there’s a big but. We need other interesting cards to replace them. And that’s the issue – the design team hasn’t been doing great job at preserving the class identity and releasing interesting, playable cards lately. 2025 was mostly a flop year. And the fact that most of the cards added to the Core Set are bad or mediocre doesn’t fill me with optimism. We’re rotating out probably around 25-30 playable cards and replacing them with maybe 10 playable ones. I don’t think that Core Set needed that kind of power level reduction.

For example, I would understand rotating out Brawl much more if Warrior got some other board clear in its place. Because yes, Control playstyle and clearing board is still a big part of the Warrior’s identity, but different cards create different dynamics. What if the same rotation added let’s say Rancor or Dyn-o-matic instead? Or maybe Reckless Flurry if we want bigger clears? They would fit in different decks, different situations, have different upsides and downsides, and force opponents to play around them in different ways.

And the same thing can be said for almost every class. Most of them lose some strong and interesting cards, and in return they get stuff that won’t see any play in 2026… unless Blizzard decides to keep dropping the power level even further.

Now, an important point is that Core Set changes are only a part of the rotation. Not only we are losing all cards from 2024 expansions (Whizbang’s, Perils in Paradise, Great Dark Beyond), but we’re also getting a brand new expansion. And that’s the thing – now EVERYTHING rides on that expansion. They need to absolutely nail it, both in terms of flavor and in terms of power level. But if Core Set was more interesting, it would cushion any errors that might happen with the expansion. That’s why even though I fundamentally agree with rotating out the staples, I don’t agree with the way it’s been done.

So let’s just hope that the next expansion delivers. In fact, it’s almost surely going to be revealed tomorrow (February 9) at the Hearthstone Spotlight they’ve been teasing for an entire week.

Below is a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement.
