Best Hearthstone Decks - Standard Meta Tier List - Across the Timeways (February 2026)
Dragon Paladin turned out to be much weaker than suspected, There just aren’t enough synergies, and we don’t have anything REALLY powerful that would carry the deck. E.g. if Paladin got some Dragon synergy on the level of Drakonid Operative or Duskbreaker, then it would be an incentive to run Dragons. Right now, the best one we have is a 2 mana 2/2 with DS and Taunt – it’s good, but not good enough (especially since 2 health minions aren’t particularly popular in the early game and it often dies without getting good trades).
Tempo Rogue Deck List Guide - Saviors of Uldum - August 2019
I literally took the #1 win rate list from the last 3 days at Ranks 5-Legend. And I’ve seen some pros using it too.
Most commonly, that slot is dedicated to Ooze, which is also a tech card. Ooze is mostly a tech card vs Rogue and Warrior, while Zilliax is a tech card vs Rogue, Warlock (Zoo) and Shaman (Murloc). So it really depends on what you see more on the ladder.
In general, it’s the 30th card in the list, so the easiest one to cut – feel free to just play anything you prefer in that slot instead.

The stats are provided by metastats.net and it might take them a while to update for the new Rise of Shadows decks. Don’t pay attention to those for now.

Standard Tier List was just updated for the early Rise of Shadows meta! Let us know what you think.
And obviously, comments below this one are outdated.
Big Shaman Deck List Guide – Rise of Shadows – May 2019
In the current state, the deck is definitely capable of hitting Legend. I’d say that it’s a low Tier 2 deck, so not one of the best, but good enough. However, keep in mind that we’re just 1 week into the expansion, so the meta still can change heavily. Which can make the deck better, but it can also make it even worse.
Bomb Hunter - Rise of Shadows - #22 Legend (Meati)
You think that new decks are disgusting to play against, but they aren’t even remotely as strong as the best decks we had pre-rotation. The overall power level has went down a lot, and I mean A LOT after the rotation. Rise of Shadows cards alone are nearly not enough for the meta to have a higher power than when Un’Goro, Frozen Throne, Kobolds AND Baku/Genn were still there.
So that’s your answer – decks that were Tier 3-4 before rotation but didn’t really lose anything can be Tier 1-2 now just because of the power level change.
Bomb Hunter - Rise of Shadows - #22 Legend (Meati)
I’m so silly, the deck is supposed to be HUNTER not WARRIOR and I’ve listed it as Warrior so that’s why the class cards were missing. Fixed it now, sorry.

Thanks, added!
Standout Rise of Shadows Decks From (Up to) Day 3
Midrange Hunter was always cheap! Before rotation, DK Rexxar pumped the Dust cost up a bit, but now that it’s gone, you can play it without any Legendaries.

Rise of Shadows Quest Series - Earn 12 Packs Over 5 Days!
That’s a good question, but one I can’t answer. The best idea would be to not miss any of the Quests, but I HOPE that you will still get them in case you miss logging in for one day.
