Last week I’ve skipped the top Legend decks compilation for one simple reason – I didn’t have enough decks to post. Patch happened on Wednesday and… it didn’t really change that much. Like sure, some people started playing Deathrattle Demon Hunter, N'Zoth, God of the Deep was added to a bunch of builds (mostly Paladin and Priest), Control Warlock and Spell Mage got even weaker despite already being not that great before the update… And that’s about it. Players have expected something more, but we’ve already covered it, so I won’t repeat myself.
Good news is that the mini-set should be coming out very soon. We’re nearly 2 months into the expansion, so it’s about time. Darkmoon Faire was released on November 17, mini-set was announced on January 19 and released on January 21 (9 weeks later). If we do some simple math and assume that the same will be true for Forged in the Barrens, it releasing on March 30 means that mini-set should be announced on June 1 and released on June 3, with a quick, one day long reveal season on the announcement day. Sure, there’s no telling whether Blizzard will have the same schedule, but they have to push it out soon, since it doesn’t make sense to keep it closer to next expansion’s release (even more so given that Mercenaries game mode is due to release some time this set… most likely shortly before next one launches). So I would assume that early June release date is most likely for the mini-set.
And I honestly can’t wait. According to devs, the round of buffs were mostly made with mini-set in mind, trying to set up some classes for it. Given that we’ve seen some Shaman buffs, for example, maybe finally the class will become viable after it gets a few strong cards? Or maybe we’ll see some good counters to Paladin, a class that is still dominating 2 months into the set? We should know relatively soon.
Below, you will find a full list of the Legend decks from last week, sorted by the highest placement.

Hearthstone Wild Legend Decks of the Week
I’ve tried and it just failed.
I’ve tried to have fun with a bunch of Shaman deck (the last class of this meta).
I’ve tried Totem Shaman along with Eysor. 2:5 win lose ratio.
I’ve tried Murloc Shaman along with Flurgl. 3:7 ratio.
I’ve tried Spell Shaman along with Brukan. 1:3 ratio.
And Control Shaman is even worse. Not even a single win. So sorry to say that I gave up on Shaman.
If the deck can’t win, it just can’t. Especially faced with the aggresiveness of deck like Hunter.
I win most Shaman games. Look at what you haven’t played. There you go, your answer is there!
Hey now. I’m just having fun with the last class in the meta.
I know Elemental Shaman is pretty decent, but what’s the point of the rest of the cards if not usable at all? that’s why I’m pushing all the Shaman build to see play. Turns out it’s kinda bad.
The same goes with Freeze Mage, and Hero Power Mage. Not very promising. (right now anyway)
If you want to play Shaman you need to go Aggro (you know, the Doomhammer build). It’s pretty decent, not great, but you can definitely climb with it. Unless that’s what you meant by “Spell Damage” with Bru’kan, because many builds also run Bru’kan to improve burn spells.
I hope that mini-set mixes things up, I’m pretty bored of the current meta already :/
Do you know roughly when we can expect the mini-set?
FitB released on 30th march. Miniset should be at 30th May (2 months), But it’s Sunday.
Possible scenario is between 1st June (Tuesday) or 3rd June (Thursday).
Another facts that support this was Darkmoon Races dropped at 66 days after DMF.
So, it’s very close. My best bet, the announcement will dropped today or Thursday, because they need ~3 days for card reveal like before.
Very well predicted, always nice when there’s a reliable schedule.
Yep. I also include Inara and both Doomhammer. I tried aggro as much as I can.
Tempo play with totem, even bloom to get early murloc board. It just seems that Pally and Hunter has the answer to everything atm, because everything I did was easily countered.
The only passive win I had was against Priest that doesn’t do anything while I had early board control. and Ramp Druid that doesn’t play threat until turn 4 (overgrowth).
I think Shaman build is spread too wide across all builds that makes it relatively useless, while paladin, illidan, & hunter got greater spesific support for some build.
